ShareLiquid turbines improve LNG operations.
Author(s) : JOHNSON L. L.
Type of article: Article
Summary
Adding a pair of cryogenic hydraulic turbines, often called "liquid expanders", into an LNG processing train can increase revenues by 3 to 4%. The technical requirements for such turbines are described, along with the design developed to meet those requirements. Also reviewed is the testing of the first set of large-scale (800 kilowatts) commercial turbines at full flow and pressure using -160 deg C LNG as the test fluid. First installation and operation are also described.
