SYNOPSIS

A gas liquefaction process Plant consists of several units, including the Inlet Facility, Acid Gas Removal,Dehydration, Mercury Removal, Liquefaction and LNG Storage. The Liquefaction unit is the heart of the liquefying the natural gas process and is typically designed based on licensors’ proprietary technology such asAP-C3MR, AP-N, and Black & Veatch PRICO using SMR. However, due to operation complexity and lower Plant availability caused by refrigerant import requirements, an alternative liquefaction technology is needed. An alternative being evaluated is from SENSE LNG, which appears to offer a solution to resolve these limitations by providing a Self-Generated Refrigerant (C1 & N2), easy and stable operation without phase change, competitive efficiency among Gas Expansion Cycles, relatively lower cost and ease of maintenance and additional benefit for weight control and optimized plot size for offshore/nearshore application. The talk will provide the audience with a better appreciation of the liquefaction technology and the benefit it brings to similar application in the future
