Reducing LNG capital cost in today's competitive environment.

Summary

The AP-XTM LNG process is a hybrid of two proven refrigeration processes, a C3MR process for precooling and liquefaction followed by a gas expander cycle for LNG subcooling. The process is very flexible and can be implemented using Frame 7's, Frame 9's, or electric motors as main drivers for the refrigeration compressors to achieve capacities from 7-10 Mta. The process can also be configured for LPG recovery using a variety of approaches depending on the feed, the desired recovery and owner preference. The capital savings for one AP-XTM LNG process train as compared to two C3MR trains is greater than 10%.
