Terminal
FSRU Exemplar has a possibility of receiving the LNG from other small and big-scale vessels, storing it in its tanks, regasifying and sending to gas network. FSRU can receive cargo from LNG Carriers via a ship-to-ship transfer done through cryogenic hoses. Regasification is done through a closed loop system where LNG is transformed from liquid to gas phase. Horizontal shell and tube vaporizer system is designed in a way to exchange the heat between steam created with the help of gas boilers, and cold LNG, leading to a nominal output of 558 000 Nm3/h of natural gas.
After regasification, natural gas is sent via reloading arms to the connecting pipeline and further into the national gas system. Connecting pipeline is 2200 m long, has a nominal diameter of 500 mm and design pressure of 80 barg.
