Abstract

PLANT AND METHOD FOR LIQUEFYING NATURAL GAS. THE PLANT COMPRISES A PRE-COOLING HEAT EXCHANGER TRAIN (1) HAVING AN INLET (13) FOR NATURAL GAS AND AN OUTLET (14) FOR PRE-COOLED NATURAL GAS, A DISTRIBUTOR (4) HAVING AN INLET (18) CONNECTED TO THE OUTLET (14) FOR PRE-COOLED NATURAL GAS AND HAVING TWO DISTRIBUTOR OUTLETS (22,23). THE PLANT FURTHER COMPRISES TWO NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS EXTRACTION UNITS HAVING AN EXTRACTION UNIT INLET, A HEAVY FRACTION OUTLET AND AN OVERHEAD LIGHT FRACTION OUTLET, AND TWO MAIN HEAT EXCHANGERS (5,5') TO COOL THE OVERHEAD LIGHT FRACTION FROM ITS CORRESPONDING NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS EXTRACTION UNIT TO LIQUEFACTION.
