SELECTED COMPUTER APPLICATIONS

Pro/II®
Process simulation software customized by CH·IV specifically for natural gas and LNG/LPG applications.  Suited for conceptual design studies as well as verifying detailed work performed by others.

Natural Gas Interchangeability
Internally developed program based on A.G.A. Bulletin 36.  Suitable for determining blending, injection and/or extraction requirements for imported LNG.

BREEZE® Modeling Software
Predicts LNG vapor dispersion from LNG spills, thermal radiation flux from LNG fires and numerous other impacts of air emissions, fires and explosions.

Klosek-McKinley Density
Calculates total energy of LNG cargoes.  Enhanced by CH·IV.

LNGSIMTM
LNG shipping / rail trade simulator (used for fleet, tank, and end-use and vaporization sizing calculations).  Developed by CH·IV.

Hub & Spoke ModelTM
Computer model of “grass roots” LNG program based on new natural gas liquefaction plant(s), LNG trucking / barging-based distribution and multiple end-use applications (power plant, industrial, vehicular, local gas distribution, etc.).  Developed by CH·IV.

Custom LNG Applications
Based on client-specific specifications.
