BoilFAST – new free software tool to model boil-off production
To enable their storage and export, natural gas and hydrogen are often cooled to cryogenic temperatures to condense them into a liquid. However, heat inevitably then enters the liquid even in the most well insulated storage tank, causing it to start evaporating. This is termed boil-off, and the production of boil-off gas causes economic loss…
