The end temperatures and the pressure drop of the long-distance pipeline for the LNG transportation

at different thickness of the thermal insulation layer with different external environment temperatures

are obtained by using Sinda/Fluint software. The simulation results show that the LNG temperature increase is 4.068℃

and the pressure drop is 2.52 MPa at thickness of the thermal insulation layer of 0.1 m and the outside temperature of 33.5℃

after 12 km long distance transportation of LNG at inlet temperature of -160℃ and inlet pressure of 6.6 MPa. Taking into account of these conditions

the LNG cold energy utilization scheme at downstream of the pipeline is designed by HYSYS software

for a total cold capacity of 300000 m2 operating respectively at cold storage

normal temperature storage and high temperature storage

at around 12 km away from the LNG receiving station.
