Heat Transfer Systems for Liquefied Natural Gas Plants

Presented by Eberhard Kaupp, Linde AG Engineering Division

Eberhard will discuss heat transfer systems for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants. While such plants consist of many and varied processing sections, the heart is the liquefaction area. There, the treated and pre-cooled natural gas is cooled down to its liquefaction temperature and further sub-cooled for end-flash and export.

All LNG production facilities are equipped with either coil-wound heat exchangers or brazed plate-fin heat exchangers. Since the start-up of the first large-scale LNG plant in Algeria in 1964, the vast majority have used coil-wound heat exchangers for liquefying and sub-cooling. However, today we can see an increasing number of LNG plants being equipped with brazed plate-fin heat exchangers.

This presentation gives an insight into these two technologies of fundamental importance to the LNG industry:

  • what do the terms coil-wound and plate-fin mean?
  • how are these heat exchangers fabricated?
  • are there operational and cost differences?

The presentation starts at 6:00pm with sandwiches and refreshments available from 5:30pm followed by networking.
