    Abstract: A process for liquefying a gaseous methane-rich feed (20) to obtain liquefied natural gas, wherein a gaseous methane-rich feed at elevated pressure is conducted through a heat exchanger (1), where it is cooled, liquefied and sub-cooled against evaporating refrigerant. The liquefied product (21) is discharged from the heat exchanger. The refrigerant cycles in a closed loop, wherein the evaporated refrigerant (22) is removed from the heat exchanger, and is compressed (30) to get high pressure refrigerant which is cooled (31,32) and divided into a liquid (heavy) portion (24) and a gaseous (light) portion (25), which are conducted to the heat exchanger for sub-cooling and liquefying the gaseous methane-rich feed. The sub-cooled refrigerant portions are introduced (35,37) into the shell of the heat exchanger at respective positions for being evaporated. The process is controlled by two separate process controllers, wherein the mass flow of the methane-rich feed is controlled by using a first process controller, and the loop of the refrigerant is controlled by a second controller using a model predictive control.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for efficiently and economically designing, constructing, or operating a light hydrocarbon gas liquefaction process for the liquefaction of selected quantities of light hydrocarbon gas. The method includes a light hydrocarbon gas liquefaction launch train to liquefy an initial amount of light hydrocarbon gas and one or more optional subsequent modular expansion phases to said light hydrocarbon gas liquefaction train to liquefy additional selected quantities of light hydrocarbon gas up to a selected maximum quantity of light hydrocarbon gas for the process. The methods employ shared use facilities, such as light hydrocarbon feed gas pretreatment facilities, refrigerant compression facilities, cryogenic heat exchange facilities, access services, other liquefaction equipment, and liquefied product storage and shipping facilities. The use of such shared use facilities allows for subsequent expansion phases or modules to be constructed to increase overall plant capacity, which can reduce the capital costs and space needed relative to prior methods for the design, construction, or operation of a light hydrocarbon liquefaction process which call for construction of a complete liquefaction train and all of its associated components and related equipment.
