Bechtel puts forward thermo-economic analysis of combined-cycle at LNG plants

Monday, 06 February 2012 16:58

LNG train designs currently fall within four classes, having nominal capacities clustering around 1.5 million tonnes per annum, 3.5 MTPA, 5 MTPA and 8 MTPA.

These designs may coexist in the coming years, as individual projects choose sizes that match their gas supplies, sales, and other logistical and economic constraints.

The thermal efficiency of an LNG facility depends on numerous factors such as gas composition, inlet pressure, and other factors such as the location of the loading dock relative to the liquefaction process which impacts the heat leakage into the cryogenic system.
