Stratification, Rollover and Handling of LNG, LPG and Other Cryogenic Liquid Mixtures

Ralph Scurlock, is Emeritus Professor of Cryogenic Engineering, and formerly Director of the Institute of Cryogenics, University of Southampton, UK. In 1999, Ralph Scurlock was selected by the CEC for the Samuel C. Collins Award for his work on cryogenic technology. He was the first person from outside the USA to be awarded this prestigious prize. He is the author of many papers and several books including "Low Temperature Behaviour of Solids", 1965, "History and Origins of Cryogenics",1994, and "Low Loss Dewars and Tanks", 2004.

Advisory Summary and Introduction to LNG.- Heat Flows in LNG and LPG Cryogenic Storage Systems at 1 bar.- Insulation: the Reduction of the "A" and "B" heat in-flows.- Surface evaporation of Cryogenic Liquids including LNG and LPG.- The Rollover Sequence of Events, starting with Stratification.- Factors creating Stratification: Management of LNG Rollover.- Vacuum Insulated Tanks for Pressurised LNG.- Liquid Transfers avoiding 2-phase Flow.- Safe Handling and Storage of LNG and LPG.

"This book is an impressive collection of years of theoretical and hands-on experience presented in a straightforward and logical manner. It is a clear, authoritative instructive on the hazards and handling of cryogenic liquids, supported where necessary with theory, data and example. It is an excellent example of its kind and essential reading for those involved with these unusual materials." (M. E. Garrett, Cold Facts, Vol. 32 (2), April, 2016)
