LNG Natural gas is in great demand globally as a clean fuel and as a feedstock for petrochemicals, agricultural chemicals and plastics. Traditionally, transport has been limited to pipelines, whose economic and physical limitations have typically restricted distribution to regional/interstate supply, relatively close to the gas source, where terrain and geopolitical considerations are not prohibitive. However, when converted to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), the fuel can be conveniently transported by ship to distant markets worldwide – well beyond the reach of pipeline systems, thereby...

Evolution of LNG Technological innovation and economies of scale have been the two key contributors to the industry’s progress. As more economical LNG plant solutions have been developed, it has become feasible to commercialize remote natural gas fields and more marginal stranded gas resources. This delivers to markets natural gas associated with the production of oil that previously might have been flared and also benefits the environment by displacing other more environmentally intrusive fuels with clean burning natural gas. GE’s Oil & Gas business has a long history of leadership in the...

Driving LNG growth The focus of the industry has been on efficiency and cost reduction with a constant drive to improve the economic balance with respect to alternate means of providing hydrocarbon products to markets such as pipelines and oil. Until the mid 1980s, the centrifugal compressors used in the liquefaction process were mainly driven by steam turbines which permitted liquefaction trains of up to about 2 MTPY. Gas turbine technology, because of the higher power density that it affords, has enabled significant unit train capacity increases and has become the dominant driver for LNG...

Experience-based solutions for any LNG process The main refrigerant compression train is the core of the liquefaction process and its specific configuration is based on the licensed process adopted. The most common processes are: • APCI processes (APCI C3/MR™ Split MR™, APCI AP-X™), • Phillips Optimized Cascade process (COP™), • Linde Mixed Fluid Cascade process (MFCP™), • Axens Liquefin™ process, • Shell process: Double Mixed Refrigerant (DMR™) and Parallel Mixed Refrigerant (PMR™) Very few LNG turbomachinery suppliers are familiar with more than one, or have the full line of rotating...

The right equipment for every refrigeration cycle Propane This service is usually provided by one or two compressor casings, each driven by a gas or steam turbine. Due to the unique characteristics of propane as a refrigerant, this duty (along with natural gas re-injection) is the most demanding application for industrial turbomachinery. Low temperatures and a high molecular weight, combined with side streams of significant capacity, require extremely precise fluid dynamic design of the gas path and careful attention to rotor dynamics. 3MCL 1004 propane centrifugal compressors driven by MS...
