Have suppliers started filling LNG tankers with liquid ethane to reduce costs? Experts, what do you think?
Thread Content
Today, I heard from a tanker driver that some suppliers are now starting to add liquid ethane to LNG in order to reduce costs. Experts in the chemical industry, could you tell me whether there is a market for ethane gas at the moment? Are there any relevant technical barriers when comparing it with LNG?
Words alone are not enough; it’s best to conduct tests, as it is the data that matters. Then consult the market for reference.
I need 25 tons of liquid ethane per day; if available, please get in touch
Theoretically, there’s no problem, but it’s not in compliance with regulations on the filling certificate; if caught, the consequences will be severe. Both the manufacturer that loads the goods and the shipping company are likely to face heavy fines.
