<p>A system and associated method are presented in which hydrocarbon gas is cooled and stored upon a ship 1. There are various standard gas processing components, and steps, in the cooling process, cooling stages 50, 100, refrigerant streams 40, 45, compressors 200, 250, coolers 300, 350, expansion devices 400, 450, heat exchangers 500, 550, and a plurality of storage tanks 600. The tanks are membrane storage tanks 600 having a storage capacity of greater than 170, 000 m3, preferably greater than or equal to about 180,000 m3. The system may present a ship mounted cooling system as an alternative to a land based cooling system.</p> |
