据世界天然气网站6月27日消息 美国联邦能源监管委员会（FERC）公布了12月完成基奈液化天然气冷却项目环境评估的计划。
FERC指出，审查将于2019年12月13日完成，90天的联邦授权决定截止日期设定为2020年3月12日。
Trans-Foreland管道公司已于3月提出申请，要求授权建造和运营某些液化天然气设施，使基奈液化天然气工厂能够向Trans-Foreland附属基奈炼油厂提供每天高达700万标准立方英尺的天然气。
Trans-Foreland建议对设施进行改造，使基奈液化天然气工厂的部分设备脱离当前的热闲置状态以便进口液化天然气。
公司建议安装、建造和运行一个新的1000马力电动蒸发气（BOG）增压压缩机组、调整汽化器、额外的液化天然气输送系统阀门、管理现有BOG设施的设备（统称为BOG管理系统）以及辅助设施，以方便进口以及用于冷却现有液化天然气储罐和相关液化天然气设施的液化天然气。
FERC在其通知中补充称，美国海岸警卫队、美国能源部和美国运输部正在共同准备该项目的环境评估。

FERC to complete Kenai LNG cool down project EA in December
The United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission unveiled its plans to complete the environmental assessment for the Kenai LNG cool down project in December.
The regulator noted that the review will be completed Trans-Foreland Pipeline Company has filed an application in March requesting authorization to construct and operate certain liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities that would allow the Kenai LNG plant to provide up to 7.0 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas to Trans-Foreland’s affiliated Kenai Refinery adjacent to the Kenai LNG plant.
Trans-Foreland proposes to make facility modifications to bring parts of Kenai LNG plant out of its current warm idle status to allow for the import of LNG.
The company proposes to install, construct, and operate a new 1,000 horsepower electric-driven boil-off-gas (BOG) booster compressor unit, trim vaporizers, additional LNG transfer system valves, equipment to manage the existing BOG facilities (collectively referred to as the BOG Management System), and ancillary facilities to facilitate the import of LNG to cool down the existing LNG storage tanks and associated LNG facilities.
FERC added in its notice that the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Department of Transportation are cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA.
