REGELUNG EINES MEHRKOMPONENTENKUEHLSYSTEMS FUER DIE ERDGASVERFLUESSIGUNG.

摘要

An automated control system for the control of mixed refrigerant-type liquified natural gas production facilities comprising optimization of functional parameters, concurrent monitoring and adjustment of critical operational limits, and maximization of production functions. Optimization is accomplished by adjusting parameters including mixed refrigerant inventory, composition, compression ratio, and compressor turbine speeds to achieve the highest product output valve for each unit of energy consumed by the facility.
