Billion Cubic Feet (BCF) – Definition and Pronunciation

Examples of BCF

Peak-shaving LNG facilities liquefy and store natural gas when supply exceeds demand in the pipeline network for eventual regasification during peak demand periods. The storage tank volumes in these facilities can be very large, capable of storing 1,0 to 2,0 BCF of natural gas.

As for CO₂, all ventilation fans have to be stopped. BCF and BTM work by a fast chemical inhibition of the flame and NOT by smothering. It must be fully discharge within 20 seconds. The discharge nozzles shall permit a uniform distribution but must not endanger personnel engaged in maintenance of machinery or using normal access ladders.

In February 2016, Cheniere Energy’s Train 1 came online, thus heralding a new wave of LNG supply. As of early October 2016, DOE had issued final authorizations to export 15,22 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of US Lower-48 States domestically sourced natural gas to non-FTA countries.
