    Abstract: A gas liquefaction process, especially for producing LNG, maintains product flow rate and temperature by controlling the refrigeration so that variation to reduce any difference between actual and required product temperatures is initiated before variation of the product flow rate to reduce any difference between actual and required flow rates. In preferred embodiments, the flow rate of one of a first refrigerant used to liquefy natural gas and a second refrigerant used to subcool the liquefied gas is controlled by a difference between actual and predetermined liquefied product flow rate and the flow rates of the other refrigerant and of the product are controlled by respective process temperature differences between actual and predetermined values.

    Abstract: A gas liquefaction process, especially for producing LNG, maintains product flow rate (116) and temperature (114) by controlling the refrigeration so that variation to reduce any difference between actual and required product temperatures is initiated before variation of the product flow rate to reduce any difference between actual and required flow rates. In preferred embodiments, the flow rate of one of a first refrigerant used to liquefy natural gas and a second refrigerant used to subcool the liquefied gas is controlled (132, 138) by a difference between actual and predetermined liquefied product flow rate and the flow rates of the other refrigerant and of the product are controlled (132, 138, 120) by respective process temperature differences between actual and predetermined values.

    Abstract: Method for the rejection of nitrogen from condensed natural gas which comprises (a) introducing the condensed natural gas into a distillation column at a first location therein, withdrawing a nitrogen-enriched overhead vapor stream from the distillation column, and withdrawing a purified liquefied natural gas stream from the bottom of the column; (b) introducing a cold reflux stream into the distillation column at a second location above the first locatino, wherein the refrigeration to provide the cold reflux stream is obtained by compressing and work expanding a refrigerant stream comprising nitrogen; and (c) either (1) cooling the purified liquefied natural gas stream or cooling the condensed natural gas stream or (2) cooling both the purified liquefied natural gas stream and the condensed natural gas stream, wherein refrigeration for (1) or (2) is obtained by compressing and work expanding the refrigerant stream comprising nitrogen. The refrigerant stream may comprise all or a portion of the nitrogen-rich vapor stream from the distillation column.

    Abstract: A feed gas is liquefied using a closed loop refrigeration system in which a cooled compressed gaseous refrigerant stream (150) is expanded (136) to provide a first expanded gaseous refrigerant stream (154) that is substantially vapor and is used to cool and substantially liquefy a feed gas stream (100) through indirect heat exchange (110). The substantially liquefied feed gas stream (102) preferably is subcooled through indirect heat exchange (112) against a second expanded gaseous refrigerant stream (172) that preferably also is substantially vapor and can be provided by a cooled compressed gaseous refrigerant stream (170) or by a portion of the first expanded gaseous refrigerant stream (152). Cooling duty for the compressed gaseous refrigerant stream (146) is provided by a portion (160) of the first expanded gaseous refrigerant stream (152), gaseous refrigerant (156) partially warmed by said heat exchange (110) against feed gas, and/or second expanded gaseous refrigerant stream (174) warmed by said subcooling (112).

    Abstract: A gas (1) is liquefied by cooling successively through at least two temperature ranges by vaporization of respective refrigerants (117, 213 & 315) with the vaporizing refrigerant providing the coldest temperature range further vaporizing (317) at temperatures above the highest temperature of that range. The partially vaporized refrigerant (316) that provided the coldest temperature range preferably is further vaporized (317) against a compressed return vapor (328) in a recirculating refrigeration system.
