LNG vaporizer

Liquified natural gas (LNG) is stored at minus 260 Fahrenheit. This air tower is used to vaporize the gas. It is 80 ft high and 650 ft long. It is equipped with 12 side-mounted fans and uses warm air to heat water. The water circulates through a series of heat exchangers that are used to vaporize the liquified gas. The water gets very cold, so it goes back to these fans to be reheated. The natural gas is sent off to customers by a 42" pipeline.
