Land-based plant

The diagram below shows a typleal arrangement of land based facilities in a situation where there are some eonstraints on the location of wellsites and processing plant.

There are many grasses and related plants that can be considered for energy apphcations because they have the desirable characteristics needed for land-based biomass energy systems. 

Alternatively, short-rotation hybrid poplar and selected grasses can be multicropped on an energy plantation in the U.S. Northwest and harvested for conversion to Hquid transportation fuels and cogenerated power for on-site use in a centrally located conversion plant. The salable products are Hquid biofuels and surplus steam and electric power. This type of design may be especially useful for larger land-based systems. 

One was a water-moderated and water-cooled pressurized reactor the other was a Hquid-metal-cooled iatermediate neutron energy reactor. A land-based prototype submafine power plant called Mark I was built and tested at the National Reactor Testing Station. Argonne National Laboratory provided scientific data and Bettis Laboratory of Westinghouse Electric Corp. suppHed engineering expertise.

The gas turbine is a power plant that produces a great amount of energy for its size and weight. The gas turbine has round increasing seiwice in the past 15 years in the petrochemical industry and utilities throughout the world. It is the power source of the aircraft industry. In this section we deal with land-based gas turbines. 

A further source of explosion is die engine room. Shipboard explosions may cause casualties and damage in dicmsch cs. They may also cause damage to land-based plants and diercby initiate more severe accidents. ... 

For land-based gas turbines, the overall plant output, efficiency, emissions, and reliability are the important variables. In a gas turbine, the processes of compression, combustion, and expansion do not occur in a single component, as they do in a diesel engine. They occur in components that can be developed separately. Therefore, other technologies and components can be added as needed to the basic components, or entirely new components can be substituted.

While shipboard supplies of water are vital to navies and the maritime industry, the saline water conversion program of the Department of the Interior is interested in a different phase of the over-all problem. Aboard ship the primary interest is a reliable supply of water the cost of the water is of secondary consideration. The interest of the Office of Saline Water is centered on land-based plants that can produce fresh water from the sea at low cost, the latter being the important factor. 

Snohvit will also be the first major development on the Norwegian continental shelf without support from a floating unit. A sub sea production system on the seabed will feed the land-based LNG plant via a 0.68 m ID, 160 km two-phase pipeline. In addition two chemical lines, an umbilical and a separate pipeline for the transport of carbon dioxide will be included. The unprocessed well stream from Snohvit is separated and the gas is treated and cooled to a temperature below the boiling point (-162 °C) to form LNG. This operation employs a large cold box (40 m high and a footprint of 15x17 meter).

Besides base-load LNG production in quantities up to 5 MTPA mainly for overseas gas export, some LNG is produced in decentralised units with a small to medium production capacity. Land based small-scale LNG plants can be divided into two main categories ...
