VARIATIONS OF NATURAL GAS LIQUEFIERS BASED ON SCHEMES WITH NITROGEN CIRCUITS AND PRE-COOLING

SKU0091
DESCRIPTION

The technology offers new configurations for small-scale liquefiers.
The components of the development include:
  • Working models of technological schemes
  • Comparative analysis of competing solutions
  • Heat exchange equipment with specific design and operational parameters
  • Methodology for optimizing the production of multi-stream heat exchangers.

CHARACTERISTICS

  • Technological scheme solutions are adapted for small-scale liquefied gas production (<160,000 tons) and the production of by-products such as ethane, propane, and helium.
  • The specific energy consumption for implementing the proposed scheme solutions ranges from 7.72 to 10.08 (kWh)/kmol. The liquefaction efficiency of natural gas is 0.77–0.95%.

ADVANTAGES OF THE DEVELOPMENT

  • Energy efficiency
  • Financial cost-effectiveness

APPLICATION AREAS

The development is applicable for organizing small-scale LNG production at liquefaction complexes near gas distribution networks, gas distribution stations, and small to medium-sized fields.
