摘要: The apparatus for ethane liquefaction can include a mixed refrigerant refrigeration cycle having inline compression without interstage cooling, or cooling only after the first compression stages where there is no liquid formation yet, such that the number of liquid recycle loops are reduced. The lack of cooling in the compressor reduces the compressor's mechanical efficiency; however, this is offset by having a more thermodynamically efficient process cycle because the cycle can operate as a mixed refrigerant rather than cascade.

摘要: A hydrogen feed stream is introduced into a primary refrigeration system of a precooling system and cooling the hydrogen stream to a first precooling temperature. From there, the precooled hydrogen stream is then introduced to a secondary refrigeration system of the precooling system and cooling the precooled hydrogen stream to a second temperature. Next, the cooled hydrogen stream is then liquefied in the liquefaction system to produce liquid hydrogen.

摘要: An integrated method for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and syngas is provided. The method can include the steps of: utilizing letdown energy of a high pressure natural gas stream that is withdrawn from a natural gas pipeline to provide a warm temperature cooling; utilizing a refrigeration cycle to provide a cold temperature cooling, wherein the refrigeration cycle comprises a refrigerant recycle compressor that is powered utilizing a steam turbine; and cooling a second high pressure natural gas stream using the warm temperature cooling and the cold temperature cooling to produce an LNG product stream. The second high pressure natural gas stream is withdrawn from the natural gas pipeline, and the steam turbine is powered by high pressure steam that is produced from a syngas production facility.
