Author(s) : PERES R., PUNT A. R.

Summary

THE LIQUEFACTION PLANT OF BINTULU (THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO), COM MISSIONED IN 1983, REPRESENTS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE GENERATION PROCESS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 70'S: A MIXED PROPANE REFRIGERANT CYCLE WITH STEAM TURBINES AND SEA WATER COOLING. IN A FIRST PHASE CALLED < PRIMARY OPTIMIZATION >, FROM 1984 TO 1988, EFFORTS WERE MADE TO REDUCE LOSSES AND INEFFICIENCIES. IN 1987, IN A SECOND PHASE OF < SECONDARY OPTIMIZATION >, THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO OPTIMIZE THIS PROCESS BY COMPUTER SIMULATION. AFTER A TWO-YEAR INVESTIGATION, THE METHOD TO FOLLOW WAS DETERMINED TOGETHER WITH ITS DIFFICULTIES. THE FIRST IMPROVEMENTS WERE TO BE ACHIEVED AT THE END OF 1989.
