Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a method for starting up a plant (1), preferably a new plant, for the liquefaction of a hydrocarbon feed stream (10) such as natural gas, wherein a liquefied hydrocarbon stream (110) that has been liquefied in a different liquefaction plant is used. At least a part of the liquefied hydrocarbon stream (110) that has been liquefied in a different liquefaction plant may be vaporized (15) and subsequently used as a fuel gas (120) or a commissioning gas in the plant (1). Further, at least a part of the liquefied hydrocarbon stream (110) that has been liquefied in a different liquefaction plant may be introduced into the plant (1), in particular for cooling down the plant (1).
