The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology to evaluate the feasibility of using landfill gas (LFG) as a liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel source for heavy-duty refuse trucks operating on landfills. Using LFG as a vehicle fuel can make the landfills more self-sustaining, reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, and reduce emissions and greenhouse gases. Acrion Technologies Inc. in asso...

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, one of the lifeline facilities, need to be protected by a proper seismic design against extreme earthquakes. An LNG terminal consists of a series of process facilities that are connected by pipelines of various sizes. Boil-off gas (BOG) compressor is one of the critical process facilities whose failure will cause the functional failure of the LNG terminal....

The detection of attacks and intrusions based on anomalies is hampered by the limits of specificity underlying the detection techniques. However, in the case of many critical infrastructure systems, domain-specific knowledge and models can impose constraints that potentially reduce error rates. At the same time, attackers can use their knowledge of system behavior to mask their manipulations, c...

Since 1960, LNG technology has been constantly evolving, and it has become an active subject of research in industrial and academic fields. The improvements in the natural gas liquefaction and shipping processes have led to a decrease in the total cost of the delivered LNG of approximately 30% in the last 20 years, mostly as a consequence of technological advancements. In this work a variant of...

ABSTRACT: While the efforts of National Response Team (NRT) - Panama Canal (in Spanish, Autoridad del de Panamá or ACP) Subcommittee are primarily focused on environmental protection issues, there is evidence that these same concerns may simultaneously have tremendous economic impact. The basis for Memorandum Agreement (MOA) between ACP and NRT agencies was conceived over pollution events withi...

With the rapid development of short-term and spot trade liquefied natural gas (LNG), market is gradually evolving from regionalization to globalization. At same time, existence rationality long-term LNG contracts have become increasingly controversial. To explore value in process globalization, this article constructs a two-stage game model applies China’s data 2018 model. The study shows that,...
