Liquefin Process:
This process producing LNG cheaper than with any other process, at good conditions of
reliability, safety, and friendlier to the environment. With this process very high capacities can be
reached with a simple scheme and standard compressors. It is a two mixed refrigerant process
designed for LNG base load projects of train sizes. The refrigerants are made up of components
from methane, ethane, propane, butane, and nitrogen. The first mixed refrigerant is used at three
different pressure levels, to pre-cool the process gas, and pre-cool and liquefy
the second mixed refrigerant. Using a mixed refrigerant for the pre-cooling stage, the
temperature is decreased down to a range of 50C to 80C depending on refrigerant
composition. The weight ratio between the cryogenic mixed refrigerant and LNG can be lower
than unity. This process was initially developed to obtain a 50%50% sharing of power between
the liquefaction refrigerant cycle and the pre-cooling refrigerant cycle. The advantages of this
process are in the use of a single quality of liquefaction refrigerant and a simplified PFHE type
liquefier..
carried out in SWHEs rather than kettles. The refrigerant of this cycle consists of a mixture of
nitrogen, methane, ethane, and propane. The DMR process has also employed double casing
instead of single casing equipment. This is a reliable method to bring the propane- MR process
closer to a capacity of 5 MTPA. With a single pre-cooling cycle and two parallel mixed
refrigerant cycles, the capacity can also be boosted up to 8 MTPA. The closer coupling between
the two cycles, by mechanical interlinking of compressors, is an operational challenge.
