Abstract: Natural gas is one of the most important sources of energy, the demand for which increases continuously. The LNG (liquefied natural gas) market rises currently exponentially; many countries entered this market recently. Applying an efficient regasification process for LNG is now more important than in the past. At present, mainly regasification of LNG via direct or indirect heating is used for industrial applications. Regasification of LNG can also be combined with generation of electricity. Another possibility is the integration of the regasification into a processes requiring low temperatures. A new concept dealing with the integration of regasification of LNG into a cryogenic process of air separation has recently been developed at Technische Universität Berlin. This paper evaluates two options of integrating the regasification of LNG into an air separation system. Conventional and advanced exergy analyses are used in the evaluation.
