Abstract

The paper describes a very crucial problem of carrying insufficiently optimal gassing-up process on ethylene carriers before cooling the cargo during its transport by the sea. At the beginning cascade system of the cargo reliquefaction plant has been described along with its parameters of work. The impact of nitrogen presence on ethylene cascade cycle’s technical work and cooling capacity has been preceded by the detailed depiction of cargo handling operations – tank inspection, inerting and gassing-up. All operations have been circumscribed in terms of oversized amount of ethylene cargo loss, which, in turn, allows to draw a conclusion that gassing-up operation is performed in insufficiently optimal way.
