Conclusions
HQC-DMR is a proven technology with two projects industrialized. It has a
compact configuration, low energy consumption, good reliability and
operability.
HQC-DMR is suitable for medium and large scaled LNG plant. Based on the
present equipment manufacturing ability, train size can be reached to 6.0mtpa.
Optimization method based on GA was developed. Appropriate process flow
structure and tailor-made mixed refrigerant composition will be provided for
different projects.
HQC-DMR is expected to be applied in floating facilities.
