Abstract

Система предварительной обработки (400) для сжижения природного газа, в которой используют теплообменники (422, 426) для косвенного теплообмена для более рационального и эффективного регулирования температуры природного газа. В системе предварительной обработки (400) расширяется (412) природный газ перед удалением кислых газов (430). После удаления кислых газов природный газ охлаждается косвенным теплообменом (422, 426) с расширенным природным газом, расположенным выше системы удаления кислых газов.Международная заявка была опубликована вместе с отчетом о международном поиске.
