A techno-economic optimization for micro-scale liquefaction plants.

Author(s) : ARTECONI A., PACETTI M., POLONARA F.

Summary

Nowadays there is a growing interest towards small-scale natural gas liquefaction plants, mainly due to increasing energy demand and higher energy prices. This paper deals with the liquefaction of natural gas (NG) by micro-scale plants used to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to a refuelling station where it is used as heavy-duty vehicle's fuel. The liquefaction of pipeline natural gas on site is a possible supply option for this application, together with buying LNG at a regasification terminal. Linde cycle, Claude cycle and let-down plants are considered as potential technologies and a techno-economic optimization is performed in order to find out the feasibility of the mentioned supply option with particular reference to the Italian market.
