Question 1486Deck General70% to pass
In what condition is LNG transported?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) At its boiling point.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is transported by ship in a cryogenic liquid state, which means it is cooled to a temperature below its boiling point to keep it in a liquid form. The boiling point of LNG is approximately -162°C (-260°F) at normal atmospheric pressure. LNG is transported in this liquid state, not at its critical temperature, vapor stage, or at a pressure in excess of 15.4 PSIA, which makes options A, C, and D incorrect.
