Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018005626A1] A system, and a method for producing liquefied natural gas are provided. The system includes a heat exchanger, a first supersonic chiller, and a compression unit. The heat exchanger is for cooling a feed natural gas stream to obtain a cooled natural gas stream. The first supersonic chiller is for chilling the cooled natural gas stream to produce liquefied natural gas and output at least a portion of chilled gaseous natural gas to the heat exchanger to be heated to obtain a heated natural gas stream. The compression unit is for compressing the heated natural gas stream from the heat exchanger and providing a compressed natural gas stream to the heat exchanger to be cooled together with the feed natural gas stream by heat exchanging with the at least a portion of the chilled gaseous natural gas.
