Presented at GasTech Centre of Technical Excellence 23 March 2011
Larry Balascak, David Healey, Warren Miller, Mark Roberts, Air Products and Chemicals Inc.
The paper covers Air Products technologies for small LNG plants ranging in size from 100 tonnes/day through 1000 tonnes/day, up to the largest base load LNG plants of up to 22,000+ tonnes/day capacity
The technologies used employ Nitrogen (N2) recycle refrigeration, Single Mixed Refrigerant (SMR), Precooled Mixed Refrigerant (C3MR or HFCMR), Dual Mixed Refrigerant (DMR) and the largest capacity APX™ cycles.
The selection of the technology appropriate to individual applications with respect to capital and operating costs is described, along with comparison of process efficiencies of the technologies. Air Products considerable work on FLNG applications and selection of appropriate technology will also be addressed. Process equipment selection for the technologies with regard to heat transfer and refrigeration machinery is also covered.
