natural gas is often associated with nitrogen and heavy compounds. the heavy components in the natural gas not only can feed downstream units, owing to the low temperature process may be formed solid as well. therefore, heavy components separation can be a necessity and produce useful products. virtually, all natural gases are containing nitrogen ​​that would lower the heating value of natural ...

In this paper, exergy and exergoeconomic analysis is performed on the recently proposed process forthe coproduction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and natural gas liquids (NGL) based on the mixedfluid cascade (MFC) refrigeration systems, as one of the most important and popular natural gasliquefaction processes. To carry out this analysis, at first, the proposed process is sim...

with high energy density, which makes it useful for storage and transportation over long distances from the gas fields to the consumers. LNG is recovered from natural gas in largescale liquefaction plants. Process automation is a key issue in LNG plants to ensure cost efficient plant operation and high product quality. Process analyzer deliver important data therefore. Siemens Sensors & Communi...

during the last years the total cost of lng technology has decreased significantly due to improvements of the liquefaction process. however, many liquefaction plants that are still in operation use a three-cascade refrigeration system. in this paper, an advanced exergetic analysis is applied to better understand the operation of a three-cascade refrigeration system for liquefaction of natural g...

During transportation, there will be vaporization of LNG producing boil-off gas (BOG) and its re-liquefaction is required considering that large volume of BOG to be vented out. A cryogenic refrigeration cycle is utilized in order to re-liquefy the BOG and returns it to the cargo tank. Kapitza and claude are the usually used LNG re-liquefaction cycles. The developments in the processes adopted f...

Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) units combine gas pre-treatment to tight specifications and natural gas liquefaction that are new to offshore with traditional production systems that are commonly found on oil Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. Attention is often focused on the new units, sometimes forgetting that successful operation of the Liquefied Natural Gas (L...
