New liquefaction process of natural gas
- Chiyoda Corp., Yokohama (Japan)
New liquefaction process of natural gas has been developed to improve process thermal efficiency and usage of industrial standard equipment. The new process consists of pre-cooling section which uses mixed refrigerant with brazed aluminum plate-fin exchangers or spool wound heat exchanger, and liquefaction section by iso-entropic expander. As a result of design study, thermal efficiency of the new liquefaction process is confirmed to be in the highest level compared with other liquefaction processes. Also, since the new liquefaction process is constructed with industrial commonly available equipment, it can be readily adapted to liquefaction plants of any capacity without requiring expensive and specially designed equipment. 6 refs., 1 fig., 3 tabs.
