Introduction.
Natural gas is a mixture of gases containing primarily hydrocarbon gases. It is colorless and odorless in its pure form.
It is the cleanest fossil fuel with the lowest carbon dioxide
emissions. Natural gas is an important fuel source as well as
a major feedstock for fertilizers and petrochemicals.
For economic transportation over great distances natural gas
can be cooled and liquefied occupying only 1/600th of its
normal volume in gaseous form at a temperature of around
-162C. Linde Engineering has a strong history in the LNG
industry having developed, built and started-up over 20 LNG
plants world-wide since 1967.
Linde Engineerings natural gas liquefaction processes can
cover LNG plants ranging from 40 thousand to more than
10 million tons per year.
Helium recovery is often combined with nitrogen removal. High purity helium is produced by
the combination of cryogenic and pressure
swing adsorption process steps.
All manner of processes for the pretreatment
and separation of natural gas as well as the
extraction of NGL, LPG, nitrogen and helium
are offered by the Engineering Division.

This is Europes first and the worlds northernmost LNG baseload plant. The MFC (mixed fluid
cascade) process together with the low cooling
water temperature at the site are the basis for
the extremely low specific power consumption
of the plant (less than 250 kWh/t).
This LNG project has another distinguishing feature: the entire LNG baseload plant was preassembled in various shipyards in Europe and
transported to its operating location on HLVs
(heavy lift vessels). The process plant itself was
installed on a barge in a shipyard, transported
by HLV and finally grounded in a prepared dock
at the site.
