Abstract

A system and method for producing liquid natural gas (LNG) from a natural gas stream is presented. The system includes a moisture removal device (12) and compressor (22) for removing moisture from and compressing the natural gas stream. The low moisture compressed natural gas stream (21) is cooled in a heat exchanger (24) to discharge a cooled compressed discharge stream. A multi-phase turbo expander provides for further cooling and expansion of the cooled compressed discharge stream, generating an expanded exhaust stream comprising a mixture of a vapor comprised substantially of CH4 and a LNG/ice/solid CO2 slurry. The expanded exhaust stream is separated to generate a vapor stream comprised substantially of CH4 and a liquid natural gas/ice/solid CO2 slurry stream. Further separation of the liquid natural gas/ice/solid CO2 slurry stream generates a liquid natural gas output stream and an output stream comprised substantially of ice/solid CO2. The most suitable drawing: FIG. 1.
