Title:
METHOD OF PRODUCING A GASIFIED HYDROCARBON STREAM; METHOD OF LIQUEFYING A GASEOUS HYDROCARBON STREAM; AND A CYCLIC PROCESS FOR COOLING AND RE-WARMING A NITROGEN-BASED STREAM, AND FOR LIQUEFYING AND REGASIFYING A HYDROCARBON STREAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/080678
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A first liquefied hydrocarbon stream (10) is provided from a first source (12) and a second liquefied hydrocarbon stream (20) is provided from a second source (22). The second liquefied hydrocarbon stream (20) has been liquefied solely by cooling against a first cooled nitrogen-based stream (40). The first and second liquefied hydrocarbon streams (10,20) are gasified to produce a gasified hydrocarbon stream (11,21,51), thereby cooling a gaseous nitrogen-based stream (30) against the gasifying first and second liquefied hydrocarbon streams (10,20) to provide a second cooled nitrogen-based stream (40).
