Gas Processes Handbook

This essential industry handbook contains ow diagrams and descriptions of more than 130 commercially viable gas processing technologies from 50 licensors. Featured developments include drying, treating, contaminant removal, cleanup, hydrogen, liqueed natural gas, syngas, sulfur and gas-to-liquids. Each process description includes a four-color ow diagram, as well as application, operation, economic yield and licensor information. The processes are indexed by process and contributing company. This valuable reference tool should be available to every engineer in the natural gas industry and will be distributed to all paid subscribers of Hydrocarbon Processing magazine in specic industries. Closing date for sponsorship is June 1, 2012.

Nitrogen recycle LNG liquefier
Application: Liquefaction of natural gas for peak shaving, product distribution or oating production storage and ofoading (FPSO) applications. Description: Natural gas is pretreated to remove water and carbon dioxide (CO2). A fraction of the pretreated natural gas is used to regenerate the CO2/water (H2O) removal system. The remaining gas is cooled and the heavier hydrocarbons (HC) removed in a knock-out (KO) drum or multi-stage separation device. The resulting vapor product is then condensed to produce LNG. Boil-off gas (BOG) from the LNG storage and the collected heavier HCs are warmed in the exchangers and mixed with the CO2/H2O-laden regeneration gas. The resulting gas stream is then returned to the feed gas supply or a low-pressure fuel system. Cooling is provided by a nitrogen (N2) recycle refrigeration system, which utilizes an N2 recycle compressor, an N2 compander and a cold box that houses the liquefaction heat exchangers. N2 is compressed in the N2 recycle compressor and cooled in an aftercooler. A compander incorporates a compression stage and an expansion stage on a single shaft. N2 dropping from high to low pressure across the expander wheel provides refrigeration and generates rotational force which is absorbed by the compressor wheel providing a portion of the total nitrogen compression required. A portion of the N2 stream is expanded in the compander, providing part of the refrigeration requirement. The remaining N2 is expanded with an expansion valve and provides the rest of the refrigeration required for liquefaction. There are many variations in the specic conguration of the N2 refrigeration cycle (pressures, number of expanders, expander arrangements, etc.). The conguration is driven by the need to develop the most cost-effective solution for the plant size, nal refrigeration temperature required and project-specic economic evaluation criteria.

Economics: N2 recycle plants typically offer a lower capital solution for

small plant applications and provide an attractive liquecation process option for applications where hydrocarbon refrigerants may be undesirable.
