Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquefaction of natural gas, coal bed methane or other methane-rich gases, in particular to a method and device for liquefying natural gas with propylene precooling mixed refrigerant. Background technique
[0002] As early as the 1930s, Porter Nickel of the United States proposed a mixed refrigerant liquefaction process. Although this process can reduce equipment, simplify the process, and save fixed cost investment, the single use of single-stage mixed refrigerant liquefied natural gas has a lower energy efficiency utilization rate than cascade cycle refrigeration, and the corresponding technology is not mature. Therefore, before the 1970s, large-scale liquefaction devices worldwide were still dominated by cascade circulation.
[0003] In 1970, Lee S.Gaumer and Charles L.Newton of APCI Corporation of the United States proposed a system and method combining cascade cycle and single-stage mixed refrigeran...
