| Summary: | The natural gas liquefaction is the most expensive and energy-intensive phase in the
natural gas-to-liquefied natural gas-to-natural gas chain. In addition, this region has the biggest
development potential. As a result, numerous LNG production methods have been developed
and are deployed at export facilities around the world. The goal of this study is to describe and
assess an innovative approach for mixed-refrigerant (MR) LNG method. The authors have
dubbed this technique the MR-X approach. The MR-X process was developed based on the
globally proven liquefaction technology C3MR and its large-scale successor AP-XTM (which
offers many benefits and flexibility), but with a novel precooling phase construct. In pre-cooling
and liquefaction phases, the refrigerant is a combination of methane, nitrogen, propane, ethane,
butane, and isobutane. The paper investigates the creation of the MR-X technology, as well as
its modelling, energy, and exergy investigations. |
