The LNG receiving terminal is used to unload

save and boil off the liquefied natural gas transferred by the marine LNG tanker before it is sent to the customer.Cooperated with the PTC

IRC designed a small experimental facility with rated flow rate of 2m3·h-1 to simulate the operation and manipulation process of a practical LNG receiving terminal.Inside the general unload

save and boil off processes

the facility can provide the experimental base for the LNG flow characteristics

inspection of the cryogenic valve and the risk evaluation in case of the LNG leakage

and the extensive construction in the future is also considered.The aim of the facility is to accumulate the operating and manipulating experience on the aspect of the LNG receiving terminal.The present paper provides the design of the flow chart for the facility and the numerical simulation results are also presented with the software AspenPlus.
