LNG PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Onshore Gas and Condensate receiving (Unit-16) Onshore Receiving Facility is to receive three-phase feed stocks from upstream production facilities, separate this into Gas, Hydrocarbon Liquid and Water Phases and Accommodate Liquid Slugs produced during non-steady operations.

Condensate Stabilization (Unit-11) Condensate Stabilizer is to stabilize hydrocarbon condensate coming from ORF (unit-16), Dehydration and Mercury Removal (unit-31) and Acid Gas Removal (unit-21) to meet the product o specification such as Reid vapor pressure (Max 0.77 kg/cm2A@37.8oC) and also butane content (0.5 5 liquid volume max)

EPT

LNG PROCESS DESCRIPTION (CONTD-1)

Acid Gas Removal (Unit-21/22) Acid Gas Removal is to remove Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur component in Feed Gas prior to Gas entering liquefaction unit. CO2 has no heating value and would freeze at low temperature in Cryogenic Process. Furthermore due to their Acidic/Corrosive Nature, Removal of CO2 and Sulfur enables the use of regular Carbon steel in downstream equipment and piping instead of corrosion resistance alloys. Dehydration/Mercury (Unit-31/32) Dry the Sweet Gas from the Acid Gas Removal Unit 021/022 before being sent to Liquefaction unit. Remove residual Mercaptans and Sulfur Compounds in Sweet Gas to meet the total Sulfur Specification in LNG Product (this is required if the sulfur content in Sweet/ Treated Gas leaving AGRU exceeds the Maximum Design Limit) Remove residual Mercury from the Sweat

LNG PROCESS DESCRIPTION (CONTD-2)

Gas Liquefaction/Fractionation (Unit-41/42) Gas Liquefaction/Fractionation Unit is to liquefy a Natural Gas to produce Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Refrigerant Make-up components, and Condensate Product Streams.

Refrigerant Circuit (Unit-051/52) Refrigerant Unit is to cool and liquefy the Feed Gas in the 041-E-1001 Main Cryogenic Heat Exchanger (MCHE) by maintaining the temperature approach on the Warm and Colds end to MCHE Propane refrigeration (four levels) provides chilling about -15oC for Natural Gas Feed and -32oC for the MR system and Fractionation Unit. Mixed Refrigerant (MR) refrigeration provide Low temperature refrigeration to produce LNG in MCHE. There are two GE Frame 7EA GT driving refrigerant Compressor. One for LP & MP MR and Second for HP MR & Propane Compressor.
