LNG stands for liquified natural gas that many of us use in or furnaces
and kitchen stoves.The US is the largest consumer of LNG in the world
and hence we are the market for the countries with the tremendous
reserves such as Russia and the countries that surround the North Sea.
Russia has incredible LNG reserves. LNG is super chilled to -260
degrees turned from a vapor to liquid and transported in super tankers
that haul LNG in hugh pressurized spheres.These super tankers will
bring the pressurized liquid to a platform off shore of the US and pump
chlorinated sea water through a rack or radiator type system to warm
the liquid gas so it will turn back into a vapor and then the
chlorinated sea water is dumped back into the Gulf Stream. The chlorine
sterilizes the sea water by killing everything in it including fish
eggs, zooplankton and all the other living creatures that are sucked up
in the process. The amount of contamination dumped back into the Gulf
Stream every day, is 200 times greater than the Exxon Valdez oil spill
off the coast of Alaska. You can read more at www.FishNet Daily News.com


As a keeper of aquaria for quite a while I always understood tat Chlorine
would evaporate from water within something like 10-20 hours. so it would
seem to me the chlorine wouldn't be the issue.
The nitrates and resulting dead plankton getting dumped back into the water
column... and other by products of the process might be different.

I would be interested in seeing a detailed list of the exact by-products of
the process and an estimated Gallons Per Minute tha is pumped through.
