Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006034776A1] The invention relates to a method for compressing a natural gas flow. According to the invention, the natural gas flow (1) for compression is liquefied and then compressed by means of at least one cryogenic pump (C). A liquefaction of the natural gas flow (1) thus occurs, preferably using the energy from a cryogenic process, in particular, in heat exchange (X, Y, Z) with at least one medium (7,9, ..) for heating, preferably a cryogenic medium.
