Abstract
Systems and a method for the formation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) are disclosed herein. The system includes a first fluorocarbon refrigeration system configured to chill a natural gas using a first fluorocarbon refrigerant and a second fluorocarbon refrigeration system configured to further chill the natural gas using a second fluorocarbon refrigerant. The system also includes a nitrogen refrigeration system configured to cool the natural gas using a nitrogen refrigerant to produce LNG and a nitrogen rejection unit configured to remove nitrogen from the LNG. As an alternative embodiment the nitrogen refrigeration system can be replaced by a methane autorefrigeration system.
