Propane precooling cycles for increased LNG train capacity.

Author(s) : PARADOWSKI H.

Summary

As a result of the growth of LNG markets, the LNG production capacity of liquefaction trains is increasing continuously. This is true not only for new projects, but also for the debottlenecking of existing trains. This tendency can be expected to continue for some years. When the refrigerant compressors and in particular the propane compressors are gas turbine driven, the propane precool refrigerant cycle must overcome the limitations of its compressors and drivers. The compressors of the liquefaction mixed component refrigerant cycle also pose some technical problems. To identify solutions that are reliable yet sufficiently innovative, Technip has undertaken studies to surpass the previously identified limits for propane precooled LNG trains.
