中国海油“CGTank~”大型LNG储罐技术体系与工程化应用

LNG储罐设计、建造工艺复杂,造价高,是能源领域中的尖端技术之一,长期由国外企业垄断。为了实现LNG储罐技术的国产化,作为目前国内最大LNG进口商的中国海洋石油总公司(以下简称中国海油),在借鉴国内外相关单位设计建设经验的基础上,经过多年科研攻关,成功研发了LNG储罐技术体系"CGTank~":①自主开发了成套计算软件,通过建立流固耦合的三维全息及多点接触模型,完成了对储罐全工况的计算;②引入欧洲规范,结合响应谱分析,创新了地震作用研究及内罐校核研究;③首次提出利用最大剪切破坏理论得到的主应力作为应力强度判别的标准;④形成了完全自主知识产权的大型LNG全容储罐技术包。"CGTank~"体系在天津LNG示范工程中完成了首次应用,由中国海油气电集团提供储罐设计核心技术,由海洋石油工程股份有限责任公司EPC总承包,目前项目已经通过了所有指标的测试,顺利运营。LNG储罐自主技术的应用前景广阔,有利于推动LNG产业的全面国产化进程。

Large LNG tank technology system "CGTank®”" of CNOOC and its engineering application

LNG tanks are complex in design and building process and high in costs, so LNG tank technology is one of the most advanced ones in the field of energy, which has been monopolized by foreign companies for a long time. In order to work out LNG tank technology domestically, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC for short), the largest LNG importer in China, develops LNG tank technology system "CGTank^®”" successfully in reference to the design and construction experience of domestic and foreign companies, after years of scientific research in tackling difficult problems. This system presents four traits as follows. First, a set of calculation software is developed independently by CNOOC, and the tanks in all operating conditions are calculated after 3D hologram and multi-point contact model of fluid-solid coupling effect is built up. Second, earthquake effect research and inner tank check research are improved innovatively by means of response spectrum analysis after European standards are introduced. Third, it is put forward for the first time that the stress strength discrimination standard is based on the principal stress which is obtained by means of the maximum shearing failure theory. And fourth, a large LNG full-capacity tank technology package with completely independent intellectual property right is established. The "CGTank^®”" system was first applied in the Tianjin LNG demonstration project, which has passed all indicator tests and is now in operation smoothly. The project is provided with the core tank design technology by CNOOC Gas and Power Group and with the EPC by CNOOC Engineering Co., Ltd. The independent LNG tank technology can be applied in a wide scope and it is favorable for impelling domestic production of LNG industry completely.
