Abstract

L'invention concerne une installation de gaz naturel liquide (1) permettant la production de gaz naturel liquéfié. L'installation de gaz naturel liquide (1) comprend au moins deux trains de traitement et de liquéfaction parallèles (A, B), chaque train comprenant un étage de refroidissement (14) conçu pour recevoir un flux de gaz naturel purifié (13) en provenance d'un étage de traitement de gaz (12), une unité d'extraction de GNL (16) permettant d'extraire des liquides de gaz naturel (161), générant ainsi un flux de gaz naturel léger (162). L'installation de gaz naturel liquide (1) comprend un train de liquéfaction supplémentaire (C), comprenant un étage de refroidissement supplémentaire (214) conçu pour recevoir un flux d'alimentation supplémentaire permettant de générer un gaz naturel liquéfié supplémentaire. Le flux d'alimentation supplémentaire (210) comprend deux flux latéraux ou plus prélevés à partir du gaz naturel léger prélevé à partir des flux de gaz naturel légers (163) respectifs du ou des trains de traitement et de liquéfaction parallèles (A, B).
