SMALL-SCALE PLANT FOR PRODUCTION OF LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS
Plant (30) for the liquefaction of natural gas (NG), characterized in that gas comes from a low pressure reservoir, in particular, a pipeline ( 1 ) or a stranded well, and such gas (1) is joined to a low pressure recycle stream in a methane expansion cycle and it is compressed fairly by a methane compressor (C) that is integrated with a cooling system that pre-cools the unique combined stream of methane (Ia) and refrigerant (18a).
