INTEGRATION OF A LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS LIQUEFIER WITH THE PRODUCTION OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

摘要

A method for integrating a liquefied natural gas liquefier system with production of liquefied natural gas from a methane-containing gas stream. The liquefied natural gas is produced by feeding a methane-containing gas stream through a heat exchanger to a distillation column and liquefying the natural gas while capturing the gaseous nitrogen. The liquefied natural gas is captured and the nitrogen gas is recovered, fed through the heat exchanger to recover cold and purified.
