Regasification method of the LNG

Regasification of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the LNG Terminal installation in Świnoujście consists in returning the fuel supplied in liquefied form into gaseous form by means of heating the liquefied fuel.

Regasification process is performed using so-called gas-heated submerged combustion vaporisers (SCV) in which the chilled LNG is heated. LNG is vaporised using water heated with boil-off gas, which then releases the heat onto the submerged tubes filled with flowing LNG.

The LNG consumption rate for the regasification process (so-called LCR in the Tariff for the LNG regasification service) is currently established at the level of 1,5 % of the quantity of LNG unloaded in the Świnoujście Terminal.

Additional LNG Truck Loading Capacity
Pursuant to Section 8.2.1 of the LNG Terminal Access Code for the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal in Świnoujście, Operator Gazociągów Przesyłowych GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. hereby announces the availability of additional capacity of the LNG tank truck loading installation equivalent to up to 20 loading slots per Gas Day.

The additional capacity will be made available within the framework of the Tank Truck Loading Additional Service and allocated in accordance with the provisions of the LNG Terminal Access Code and the applicable Regasification Agreements.

In accordance with Sections 4.1.14, 8.1.1 and 8.2.2 of the LNG Terminal Access Code, only Terminal Users having a valid Regasification Agreement concluded with the Operator are entitled to apply for the allocation of Tank Truck Loading capacity, as Additional Services may be ordered exclusively by Terminal Users using Regasification Services.

Applications for the provision of the Tank Truck Loading Service (TT Application) will be processed on a first come, first served basis, subject to the availability of capacity and the technical capabilities of the Terminal. Capacity allocation will be confirmed by the Operator through the issuance of a TT Order, in accordance with the LNG Terminal Access Code. 
Applications should be submitted in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 8.2 of the LNG Terminal Access Code, using the applicable TT Application form and communication channels specified therein.

For detailed conditions of the Tank Truck Loading Service, Terminal Users are requested to refer to the LNG Terminal Access Code published on the Operator's website.
 

LNG Parameters

Quality parameters of LNG delivered to the Terminal shall meet the criteria indicated in the Terminal Code, point 6.8.

The quantity of LNG expressed in energy units (kWh) is established for reference conditions as per applicable ISO standard and Transmission Network Code (TNC), i.e.:

  • volume of gas at 0ºC (273.15 K)
  • gross calorific value at the temperature 25ºC (298.15 K),
  • pressure equal to ambient pressure of 101.325 kPa.
 

The content of other components in regasified LNG, such as hydrogen sulfide, total sulfur, mercaptan sulfur and mercury, must  comply with the provisions of TNC.

The LNG Terminal Operator shall ensure that the Gaseous Fuel generated in the LNG regasification process meets the criteria set forth in the TNC, in particular:

  • Gross Calorific Value ranging from 11.177 kWh/m3 (40.237 MJ/m3) to 12.618 kWh/ m3 (45.424 MJ/m3)


Conversion factors for recalculating the quantity of natural gas expressed in volumetric units (Nm3) and the quantity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) expressed in volumetric units (m3LNG) into gas quantity expressed in energy units (kWh) calculated as an arithmetic mean of the heat of combustion of light and heavy gas according to LNG quality parameters applicable at the LNG Terminal in Świnoujście, assume the following values:

  1. kWh/Nm3 = 11,897
  2. MWh/m3LNG=  6,86
