Summary

THE FIRST BASE-LOAD LIQUEFACTION PLANT FOR NATURAL GAS ON STREAM IN 1964, USED A CONVENTIONAL CASCADE PROCESS WITH PROPANE, ETHYLENE AND METHANE AS REFRIGERANTS. TODAY ONLY INTEGRATED CASCADE PLANT WITH MIXED REFRIGERANTS ARE BUILT. THE LIQUEFACTION CAPACITY HAS ALSO INCREASED, UP TO COMPRESSOR POWER OF 100 MW. NEW PROCESSES ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION, HOWEVER, AND THE LNG/LIQUEFIED NITROGEN SCHEME MAY BE REALIZED IN THE FUTURE. COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR CALCULATION OF THE MAIN HEAT EXCHANGER IN LNG-PLANT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED. A TEST PLANT FOR MEASUREMENT OF HEAT TRANSFER AND PRESSURE DROP IN SUCH HEAT EXCHANGERS IS UNDER ERECTION.
