Abstract (en)

[origin: US2017038138A1] A transportable apparatus for production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) having include a housing, a natural gas feed inlet, a heat exchanger, a phase separator, a liquid outlet disposed on the cold end of the heat exchanger, an LNG product outlet disposed on the cold end of the heat exchanger, a first refrigeration supply, a second refrigeration supply, and wherein the heat exchanger, the phase separator, the first expansion valve, the first refrigeration supply, and the second refrigeration supply are all disposed within the housing. The first refrigeration supply includes expansion of a portion of the LNG product, and the second refrigeration supply can include expansion of another portion of the LNG product or expansion and heat exchange with a supply of liquid nitrogen. The production of LNG is achieved without the external supply of electricity.
