Summary
A novel energy- and cost-effective process for offshore liquefaction of stranded natural gas is developed. Natural gas is liquefied to LNG by utilizing the cold exergy in liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) and liquid inert nitrogen (LIN), which are used as cold carriers. LCO2 is used for cooling in the first part of LNG production. The low-temperature LIN is used at the cold end. The exergy (rational) efficiency for a thermodynamically optimized offshore process is 87%. The process is self-contained with power and can operate with little rotating equipment and without hazardous refrigerants.
