<p>This process for nitrogen liquefaction by recovering the cold derived from liquid methane gasification has the characteristic of cooling with the liquid methane (1) a cryogenic fluid (5), preferably nitrogen, and then using said cryogenic fluid as coolant fluid (9,10) in two nitrogen compressor units of the nitrogen liquefier, both for the interstage coolers (11,12,13,27,28,29,30,31,32) and for the intake coolers (27) and for the final delivery coolers (19,32) of one of the nitrogen compressor unit. <??>The use of nitrogen cooled by the methane enables liquid nitrogen to be produced (3) in a liquefier consisting of the two said compressor units and a cryogenic turbine (17), with a very low specific energy consumption. <IMAGE></p> |
