Summary

Offshore liquefaction will enable cost-effective use of remote fields, and economical mid-sized single machine LNG trains could improve project viability onshore. Uncertainty over the viability of large base-load LNG projects has created interest in economical LNG production in mid-sized plants. A new mixed-refrigerant process is suitable for train capacities of up to 1.5 million metric tons per year using a single machine/driver and high-efficiency plate-fin heat exchangers. This article shows that proven refrigeration cycles using expanders are the best choice for offshore developments.
