Author(s) : IBRAHIM Y., SHUKRI T.

Summary

The MLNG Dua plant comprises three identical LNG process modules, utilizing the propane precooled liquefaction process. Utilities are provided by adjacent facilities. The liquefaction unit produces subcooled LNG at approximately -161°C which is rundown directly to storage. MLNG Dua Sdn Bhd is implementing a debottlenecking project to increase its production capacity by approximately 20%, by the novel addition of a new extended end flash unit, and uprating some of the existing equipment including the propane and mixed refrigerant refrigeration systems and associated gas turbine drivers. Project execution for each module includes installation of new equipment, modification of existing equipment and installation of tie-ins during scheduled shutdowns. Installation work outside shutdowns is carried out as much as possible to minimize the shutdown period. This paper presents the technical background to the project, including details of the novel extended end flash unit, and the project development phases.
