Abstract
Se proporcionan aparatos y métodos para producir gas licuado, tal como gas natural licuado. En una modalidad, una planta de licuefacción se puede acoplar a una fuente de gas natural no purificado, tal como una línea de tubería de gas natural en una estación de baja de presión. Una porción del gas es atraído y dividido en una corriente de proceso y una corriente de enfriamiento. La corriente de enfriamiento puede pasar secuencialmente a través de un compresor y un mecanismo de expansión. La corriente de proceso también puede pasar a través de un compresor. La corriente de proceso comprimida se enfría, tal como mediante la corriente de enfriamiento expandida. La corriente de proceso comprimida, enfriada se expande para licuar el gas natural. Un separador de gas-líquido separa el vapor del gas natural líquido. Una porción del gas líquido se puede usar para enfriamiento adiciona. El gas producido dentro del sistema se puede recomprimir para reintroducción a una línea de recepción.
