Title:
独立な二元エクスパンダー冷凍サイクルを使用するLNGの製造
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5960945
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A process for producing a liquefied natural gas stream from an inlet gas feed stream, the process comprising the steps of:
cooling at least a portion of the inlet gas feed stream by heat exchange contact with a first gas-phase refrigerant in a methane refrigeration cycle operated independently of a second gas-phase refrigerant in a nitrogen refrigeration cycle;
the methane refrigeration cycle comprising the steps of:
expanding a first gas-phase refrigerant comprising methane to form a cold methane vapour steam;
cooling at least a portion of the inlet feed gas stream by heat exchange contact with the cold refrigerant vapour stream;
compressing the cold methane vapour stream to form a compressed methane vapour stream; and
cooling at least a portion of the compressed methane vapour stream by heat exchange contact with the cold methane vapour stream; and
the nitrogen refrigeration cycle comprising the steps of:
expanding a second gas-phase refrigerant comprising nitrogen to a cold nitrogen vapour stream;
cooling at least a portion of the inlet feed gas stream by heat exchange contact with the cold nitrogen vapour stream simultaneously as cooling at least a portion of the inlet feed gas stream by heat exchange contact with the cold methane vapour stream;
compressing the cold nitrogen vapour stream to form a compressed nitrogen vapour stream; and
cooling at least a portion of the compressed nitrogen vapour stream by heat exchange contact with the cold nitrogen vapour stream;
whereby a liquefied natural gas stream is produced.
