    Gas liquefaction involves converting natural gas into a liquid state to facilitate efficient storage and transport. There are several methods to liquefy gas, including compressing it while cooling below the critical temperature, using work to reduce the gas's energy, or employing a cascade process where one liquefied gas liquefies another. Natural gas is typically liquefied at -160°C, reducing its volume by 600 times, and is then stored and shipped as liquid natural gas (LNG) at atmospheric pressure. The liquefaction process involves treating and purifying the gas through steps like removal of condensate, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide before compression and cooling in a refrigerant loop to -161°C results in L

    Gas Liquefaction

    Katherine DAmbrosio
    Liquefaction
    The refinery process of converting natural
    gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into
    longer chain hydrocarbons such as
    gasoline or diesel fuel
    Methods
    Compress the gas at temperatures less than its critical
    temperature

    Make the gas do work against an external force, causing
    the gas to lose energy and change to a liquid state

    Make gas do work against its own internal forces, causing
    it to lose energy and liquefy.

    Cascade process - use one liquefied gas to liquefy another

    Joule-Thomson effect - compress and then rapidly expand
    the gas

    Liquefaction Temperatures
    Liquid Natural Gas (LNG)
    Cooled until it Liquefies @ -160C
    Reduces volume 600 times
    Colorless, Odorless and Non-Toxic
    Safe to transport and store

    Causes dehydration
    Environmental Advantages
    Virtually no ash, sludge or hazardous waste is
    produced

    Particulate emissions are approximately 95% less
    than burning coal

    Over Coal, Distillate and Naphtha LNG has lower:
    Sulfur dioxide emissions (by 100%),
    Nitrogen Oxide emissions (by 75%)
    Carbon Dioxide emissions (by 50%)
