The Standard Loading Mistake

3 Custody Management Creating Two Layers of LNG 6.3.1 The Standard Loading Mistake 

Let us now look more closely at an element of superheated liquid mixture at the liquid/vapour interface during surface evaporation. The spent Uquid, after evaporating a methane rich vapour, has increased in density due to both evaporative latent heat of cooling and an increase in more dense ethane composition. The spent element is convectively unstable and sinks away from the surface. 

Together with aU the similarly spent elements, it mixes convectively with the bulk liquid producing a uniform density and composition. There is no stratification. 

Secondly, let us now consider a fi esh supply of the same original LNG binary mixture being is added to the old or weathered liquid, or heel , without being
