Definitions
- Embodiments disclosed herein specifically concern a modularized liquefied natural gas production unit comprising a cold box wherein heat exchange between natural gas to be liquefied and a refrigerant fluid undergoing cyclic thermodynamic transformations, including compression, cooling, condensation, expansion and vaporization is performed.
- each liquid natural gas production plant consists of one or more liquefaction and purification facilities to convert natural gas into liquefied natural gas.
- the liquefaction process involves removal of certain components, such as dust, acid gases, water, mercury and heavy hydrocarbons, which could cause difficulty downstream.
- the natural gas is then condensed into a liquid with a vapor pressure close to atmospheric pressure by cooling it to approximately -162°C; maximum transport pressure is set at around 25 kPa (4 psi).
- the heat of the natural gas is transferred to a refrigerant fluid in controlled conditions through the use of heat exchangers.
- the refrigerant fluid is conveniently cooled in a closed thermodynamic refrigeration cycle, wherein a cooling effect is produced through cyclic thermodynamic transformations, including compression, cooling, condensation, expansion and vaporization.
- efficiency of heat exchange is a key issue in order to save costs.
- Efficiency is optimized on one side by promoting heat transfer between the natural gas and the refrigeration fluid and on the other side by reducing undesired heat exchange with the surrounding environment.
- the first aim is obtained by increasing the ratio between heat exchange surfaces and heat exchanger volume and by selecting materials with the lowest resistance to heat transfer for the making of heat exchange surfaces while the second aim is obtained by insulating the thermal exchanger from the surrounding environment.
- a cold box is a complete package of heat exchangers contained in a casing with structural support, thermal insulation containment, and protection for the internal equipment.
- the thermal insulation of heat exchangers and piping can be obtained in a single casing, making use of a common insulation, for example by using insulating materials inside the casing.
- Cold boxes allow very compact layout and offer a highly efficient thermal insulation, without maintenance needed, to the heat exchange between natural gas and refrigerant fluid. Additionally, on-site installation work is very limited and access to connection piping is simple due to an optimized design, making construction a very quick and simple step and reducing pre-commissioning.
- the production of modularized liquefaction systems provides for the handling of cold boxes as a separate equipment with respect to other modules of a plant. This means that a cold box is transported separately to the site where the natural gas liquefaction plant is installed, has its own foundations and requires that the piping connections are custom made on site, in order to compensate deviations in the position of different modules and the cold box. Additionally, all instrumentation and other electrical consumers can only be connected after the erection on site is finished.
- an optimized arrangement of a liquefied natural gas production unit to address the issues of complexity of the systems of the current art would be beneficial and would be welcomed in the technology. More in general, it would be desirable to provide an optimized arrangement of a liquefied natural gas production unit adapted to more efficiently address problems entailed by the need of connecting the pipes of the cold box and the other modules and the relative instrumentation on the plant installation site.
- the subject matter disclosed herein is directed to a modularized liquefied natural gas production unit, wherein the cold box is put directly on the refrigerant fluid closed thermodynamic refrigeration cycle module, to form an integrated refrigeration module.
- This arrangement allows for saving a lot of time on site as the process, instrumentation and electrical connections are completed and tested in the premises of the producer.
- the subject matter disclosed herein concerns a modularized liquefied natural gas production unit, wherein the integrated refrigeration module further comprises all the instrumentation and related electrical connections.

- the main exchanger module comprising the main electrical room, with the motor control center, is installed in close proximity to a refrigerant compressor skid.
- the refrigerant fluid closed thermodynamic refrigeration cycle module comprises all refrigerant related equipment despite cold-box and refrigerant compressor, that is refrigerant compressor suction and discharge vessels, refrigerant compressor compression stage cooler and condenser and main emergency relief installations, like a flare drum.
- the refrigerant fluid closed thermodynamic refrigeration cycle module also contains all the interface connections with the outside installation, like feed and product lines or utilities.
- the present subject matter is directed to a modularized liquefied natural gas production unit comprising a cold box including at least a main heat exchanger, transferring heat from natural gas and warm refrigerant to the cold refrigerant, and related vessels needed to separate cold refrigerant vapor and liquid required to allow even distribution of the refrigerant within the main heat exchanger.
- the cold box is arranged on a module, called main exchanger module, also containing the mam electrical room.
- the mam exchanger module is arranged next to the refrigerant fluid closed thermodynamic refrigeration cycle module to form an integrated refrigeration module.
- the subject matter disclosed herein is directed to an optimized arrangement of a liquefied natural gas production unit wherein the Cold-Box module also comprises the electrical room and the refrigerant make-up system.

- the refrigerant fluid from the compressor suction vessel 36 is directed to the compressor skid 20 through a suction line 361.
- the refrigerant fluid is then compressed in a first compressor stage of the compressor and subsequently directed, though a line 380 to a refrigerant compressor intermediate compression stage cooler 38, wherein the heaviest fracti ons of the refrigerant condense.
- the cooled refrigerant stream is then routed to the separator 381, wherein it is separated into a liquid stream 382 and a vapor 383.
- the liquid stream 382 is directed to the main heat exchanger 11 of the cold box and subsequently directed via a collector line 360 to the compressor suction vessel 36.

- the vapor stream from the refrigerant compressor discharge vessel 37 is directed via a vapor stream line 372 to the cold end of the main heat exchanger 11 of the cold box, and subsequently to the refrigerant compressor suction vessel 36.
- the refrigerant cycle allows to exchange heat with the natural gas in a plurality of heat exchangers at different temperatures, taking advantage of the vaporization temperature difference between the different generated refrigerant streams to optimize the natural gas liquefaction by approaching the cooling curve of the natural gas from ambient to cryogenic temperatures, minimizing energy requirements and heat exchangers size.
