Liquefied Natural gas (LNG) is a process of cooling down the natural gas to form liquid for easy storage and transportation. A typical LNG liquefaction process consists of a series of refrigeration cycles, using both pure and mixed refrigerants. The LNG Development training course allows participants to gain the knowledge of the LNG development processes such as theory of liquefaction and principles of LNG liquefaction refrigeration system operations. Course content includes:
Theory of Liquefaction;
Process safety associated with all main plant LNG processes;
Principles of refrigeration, the essential components of a refrigeration system, and the properties of refrigerants used in LNG liquefaction processes;
Principles of operation of LNG liquefaction refrigeration systems;
Main processes used in LNG production: (1) Remove impurities from the feed natural gas – water vapor, acid gases, mercury, solids, water vapor, nitrogen, sulphur compounds; (2) Separate and store liquid LNGs – cascade liquefaction process;
Liquefy the effluent natural gas;
Safe storage of produced LNG – types of storage containers – single, double, and full containment;
