- エタン分離による処理された天然ガスの予冷と、冷却された窒素を冷媒として使用する液化ガスの過冷却と、液化ガスの減圧と、非液化ガスの分離と、液化天然ガスの分流とからなる天然ガス液化方法であって、
予冷する前に、前記天然ガスは圧縮され、エタンは、冷却されたエタンを冷媒として使用する、エタンの同時蒸発を伴う液化ガスの多段予冷中に分離され、一方、蒸発によって生成されたエタンは、圧縮され、凝縮され、液化ガス及び窒素の冷却中に冷媒として使用され、窒素は、圧縮され、冷却され、膨張され、前記天然ガスの過冷却段に供給される、天然ガス液化方法。 - 直列接続された気化器においてエタンを蒸発させ、前記気化器と窒素−窒素熱交換器とに交互に供給することによって窒素を冷却し、一方、前記窒素−窒素熱交換器において圧縮ガス熱交換器からの窒素戻り流を冷媒として使用する、請求項1に記載の方法。
- 前記天然ガスは、相転移プロセスを防止するように、単相状態で高圧において冷却され、請求項1に記載の方法。
- 天然ガスを予冷するために、周囲空気、又は北極地方、南極地方、若しくは近接地方からの流域の水が使用される、請求項1に記載の方法。
- 前記天然ガスの過冷却プロセスは、単相臨界状態の液化ガス及びガス状窒素を使用する、請求項1に記載の方法。
- 天然ガス液化ラインと、エタン回路と、窒素回路とを備える天然ガス液化プラントであって、
前記天然ガス液化ラインは、直列に接続されている、天然ガス圧縮機、空気冷却器、エタン気化器、閉端過冷却熱交換器、及び分離器を含み、
前記エタン回路は、少なくとも1つのエタン圧縮機、空気冷却器、少なくとも1つの圧縮機の入口に接続された出口を有する前記エタン気化器の直列接続を含み、
前記窒素回路は、少なくとも1つの窒素圧縮機、空気冷却器、前記エタン気化器、前記エタン気化器間に接続された窒素−窒素熱交換器、ターボ膨張機、前記閉端過冷却熱交換器、前記窒素−窒素熱交換器、及び前記窒素圧縮機の入口に接続されたターボ圧縮機の直列接続を含む、天然ガス液化プラント。 - 非液化ボイルオフガス(BOG)のための分離器出口は、BOG圧縮機に接続されたBOG出口を有する前記閉端過冷却熱交換器と接続されている、請求項6に記載のプラント。
- 前記ターボ膨張機及び前記ターボ圧縮機は、膨張機−圧縮機ユニットに組み合わされている、請求項6に記載のプラント。
- 全ての圧縮機の駆動部は、各圧縮機に接続された乗算器に接続されたガスタービンエンジンである、請求項6に記載のプラント。
- 各冷却装置は、周囲空気又は水を使用する空気又は水冷却器である、請求項6に記載のプラント。
