Recent improvements in the manufacturing and shipping capability of Main Cryogenic Heat Exchangers (MCHE’s) together with the continued development of compressors and drivers offer the LNG industry the possibility of a new generation of LNG trains.
These synergistic developments now allow efficient single train process designs ranging from 3 to 8 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) for the well proven propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant (C3MR) process to over 10 MTPA for the AP-X® process.
