New inlet feed gas conditioning technology for contaminant removal in amine units
While many amine units function well over the life of the LNG facility, some are prone to periodic or even frequent foaming events. This article discusses likely causes and potential solutions to these foaming episodes in amine units, which also apply to gas treating in general.
Japan approves JERA plan to keep surplus LNG in winter
Japan's industry ministry has approved a plan by the country's top power generator JERA to hold a surplus of LNG in the winter as a strategic reserve in case of supply disruptions.
Detecting operator-induced faults on a liquid expander
This case study examines a LNG plant that thought they found a way to shorten the start-up time for liquid expanders. The result was not as expected. Fortunately, the condition monitoring system and service specialists provided diagnostic information to understand the problem better and avoid a catastrophic failure.
Take the mystery out of running your LNG plant
While process simulation software can be used by plant engineers to calculate the dewpoint temperature of mixed refrigerant, this is of limited use to the plant operators at the control panel in maintaining an appropriate amount of mixed refrigerant superheat as they adjust the plant. To address these challenges, the authors’ company has developed a simplified method of calculating mixed refrigerant superheat that can be programmed in the distributed control system (DCS) and made available to panel operators.
Decarbonization using sour-to-sweet gas technology
8 Rivers' TarT technology is a low-cost solution for processing high-hydrogen sulfide (H2S) sour gas. The technology separates H2S and other sulfurous contaminants from sour natural gas, using CO2 as a natural solvent.
New Fortress Energy to complete first Fast LNG unit in Q2
New Fortress Energy plans on finishing building its first Fast LNG unit in May before moving the plant to offshore Altamira in Mexico in June and producing LNG there in July.
