Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, at about -260° Fahrenheit, for shipping and storage. The volume of natural gas in its liquid state is about 600 times smaller than its volume in its gaseous state. This process makes it possible to transport natural gas to places pipelines do not reach.
Liquefying natural gas is a way to move natural gas long distances when pipeline transport is not feasible. Markets that are too far away from producing regions to be connected directly to pipelines have access to natural gas because of LNG. In its compact liquid form, natural gas can be shipped in special tankers to terminals around the world. At these terminals, the LNG is returned to its gaseous state and transported by pipeline to distribution companies, industrial consumers, and power plants.
LNG plant refers to a facility that converts natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG) by cooling and compressing it to a temperature of around -160 degrees Celsius (-260 degrees Fahrenheit). The LNG is then transported by ship or truck to end-users around the world. LNG plants typically consist of several stages, including gas treatment, liquefaction, storage, and shipping. These plants are increasingly used as a way to transport natural gas over long distances, as it takes up less volume when liquefied, making it more cost-effective and efficient.
The process of natural gas liquefaction involves the following steps:
1. Pretreatment: The natural gas is first cleaned to remove impurities like water, CO2, and H2S. This process is essential as these impurities can freeze and block the pipelines and equipment.
2. Compression: The gas is then compressed to increase its pressure. The compression reduces the volume of the gas, making it easier to transport.
3. Cooling: The compressed gas is cooled to very low temperatures using a refrigeration system. This process cools the gas until it turns into a liquid.
4. Storage: The liquefied natural gas (LNG) is then stored in large tanks at very low temperature (-162ºC) until it is ready to be transported.
5. Transport: LNG can be transported through various methods, including tanker ships, trucks, and pipelines. During transportation, the LNG is kept at very low temperatures to prevent it from returning to its gaseous state.
6. Regasification: Finally, when the LNG reaches its destination, it is warmed using heat exchangers, converting it back into natural gas which can be distributed through pipelines to businesses and consumers.
