LNG Process Production 1678332804

This document describes the key process steps in a typical LNG production model, including: 1) Acid gas removal and dehydration to remove corrosive compounds like H2S and CO2. 2) A pre-cooling section that uses a series of coolers to lower the temperature of the natural gas stream and refrigerant. 3) An LNG production section where the natural gas is liquefied using a mixed refrigerant as the cooling fluid in an LNG exchanger. 4) A compressor train section that increases the pressure of the refrigerant before it can be reused in the pre-cooling section.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) are applied as a fuel for


motor vehicle, resedential use, and for industrial
consumption

A typical LNG production model includes the following


process area:
1. Acid gas removal and dehydration section
2. Propane refrigerant pre-cooling section
3. Compression Section
4. Final LNG production section

Define Properties Environment
Natural gas is composed primarily of methane (>70%),
ethane, propane, and others hydrocarbon.

Property package that could be utilized in LNG process


modelling are Peng-Robinson, SRK, and PRSV. But in this
case Peng-Robinson equation of state will be used.

Water Saturation
Natural Gas Feed in this case is a dry basis stream so it
should be saturated with a Water Saturator.

For this case, the Water Saturator is automatically


calculate the water needed for saturate the feed stream
and it need 667,9 Kg/h.

The configuration for this saturator is like this:

Acid Gas Removal and Dehydration
Acid gas removal aims to remove acid gases such as H2S
and CO2 so that natural gas will less corrosive.
Dehydration is used for avoiding hydrates formation
along the equipment that can cause clog in piping and
equipment.
For this section, Component Splitter is used for the acid
gas removal and dehydration process

Gas Removal Process Dehydration Process

Pre-Cooling Section
The natural gas then will be fed to a Pre-cooling train.
This train will be modeled as a series of cooler operation
to lower the temperature of the stream
The another cooling train also created to handle the
mixed refrigerant. These refrigerant will be used for
generate the LNG product.

Based on the calculation of the cooler,


the total energy removed for lower the temperature of
natural gas is 6.14E+007 Kj/h
the total energy removed for lower the temperature of
mixed refrigerant is 3.63E+008 Kj/h

LNG Production Section
Natural gas is ready for conversion to liquefied natural
gas (LNG). Mixed refrigerant will be utilized as the
cooling fluid for the natural gas stream
The heat transfer operation will be occured in LNG
Exchanger

This section consists of several tools like separator, LNG


exchanger, mixer, and valve
Refrigerant that has been used in the process will be
returned to the compressor train section

Compressor Train Section
Refrigerant that leaves the LNG production section will
at low pressure condition, it needs to be boosted up to
high pressure before it can be used again in Pre-cooling
section
This section will use three compressors to increase the
refrigerant pressure periodically

This section is also equipped with a compression


aftercoolers to control refrigerant temperature.

The total duties needed for increasing the refrigerant


pressure are 4.21E+008 Kj/h

LNG Process Modelling
These are the overall process of the LNG Production.
This model is use the sub-flowsheet in HYSYS so that the
flowsheet is become simplier.

Based on calculation from this model, the production rate


of LNG is 97.72%
