Abstract: The invention relates to a of processing a liquid natural gas stream at a LNG import terminal. The method comprises operating a vaporization unit obtaining a pressurized vaporized natural gas stream and operating a slushification unit to obtain a slush of liquid and solids and a cooled vapour phase. The method further comprises withdrawing the cooled vapour phase from the slushifier providing a cooled vapour stream and passing the cooled vapour stream to the vaporization unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for partially solidifying a methane comprising stream. The method comprises—providing a liquid methane comprising stream (30) at a first pressure (P1),—passing the liquid methane comprising stream (30) to a slush vessel (300) which is kept at a second pressure (P2), the second pressure (P2) being lower than the first pressure (P1), thereby cooling and at least partially solidifying the methane comprising stream (30) generating a methane comprising slush, and—collecting the methane comprising slush.
