Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006009646A2] The current invention is related to hydrocarbon fluid processing plants, methods of designing hydrocarbon fluid processing plants, methods of operating hydrocarbon fluid processing plants, and methods of producing hydrocarbon fluids using hydrocarbon fluid processing plants. More particularly, some embodiments of the invention are related to natural gas liquefaction plants, methods of designing natural gas liquefaction plants, methods of operating natural gas liquefaction plants and methods of producing LNG using natural gas liquefaction plants. One embodiment of the invention includes a hydrocarbon fluid processing plant including a plurality of process unit module types, the plurality of process unit module types including at least a first process unit module type including one or more first process unit modules and a second process unit module type including two or more integrated second process unit modules wherein at least one of the first process unit modules and at least one of the second process unit modules are sized at their respective substantially maximum processing efficiency.
