Abstract

Le problème décrit par la présente invention est de fournir une installation de liquéfaction de gaz naturel ayant une opérabilité élevée et un rendement énergétique élevé. La solution selon l'invention porte sur une installation de liquéfaction de gaz naturel qui comprend un dispositif de traitement de liquéfaction (15) qui effectue un traitement pour liquéfier un gaz naturel. Un moteur à combustion interne (31) brûle un gaz combustible et entraîne un premier générateur (32), une unité de génération de vapeur (33) génère de la vapeur à l'aide des gaz d'échappement de combustion du moteur à combustion interne (31), et une turbine à vapeur (41) entraîne un second générateur (42) à l'aide de la vapeur générée par l'unité de génération de vapeur (33). Une unité de chauffage de fluide (101) chauffe un fluide à chauffer à l'aide de la vapeur extraite de la turbine à vapeur (41), et une unité de compression de fluide frigorigène (21) est entraînée par un moteur (22), qui consomme de l'énergie générée par les premier et second générateurs (32,42), et comprime le gaz réfrigérant obtenu par refroidissement du gaz naturel à l'aide du dispositif de traitement de liquéfaction.
