Abstract

Natural gas (NG) is liquefied in a hybrid liquefaction cycle (1, 2 & 3) in which the gas feed is precooled (10) using vaporizing liquefied refrigerant gas; liquefied (20) using vaporizing mixed refrigerant comprising ethylene and at least one other refrigerant selected from hydrocarbons and halocarbons; and subcooled (30) using a work expanded pressurized gaseous refrigerant stream. Preferably, the liquefied refrigerant gas used for precooling is propane, the mixed refrigerant does not contain ethane or nitrogen and the pressurized gaseous refrigerant is nitrogen.
