Participants will look at the typical types of iron ore deposits and how each may be p...

LNG is simply natural gas which has been liquefied for storage and transportation. In LNG form, natural gas is condensed into one 600th of its volume, allowing it to be stored and transported more easily. Liquefaction (by cooling to minus 162 degrees C) occurs in large land based plants and is transported to receiving terminals in LNG carrier vessels. The need for LNG arises due to the uneven distribution of gas resources and gas markets and t...
