Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

Some of the most interesting papers presented to the Gas Liquefaction and Separation Commission of the IIR are reviewed. A novel LNG peak-load storage plant was described in which the excess cooling capacity available during most of the year is used to produce low cost liquid oxygen and nitrogen. On a larger scale, design studies were reported showing the advantages to be gained by cooling natural gas before admitting it to very long transmission pipelines. For duties above 100 x 10^9 m3/year piping LNG is recommended. The latest.developments in large oxygen plants are surveyed, including the challenge of component designs. Alternative separation routes using absorption rather than distillation are reported. A novel cycle using dephlegemators and a compandar for separating hydrocarbons is described.
