LNG liquefaction plants

Defining the New Generation of Liquefaction Plants

Chart defined small-scale LNG through a range of standard plants with capacities ranging from 3,000 gallons per day (10 tons per day) to 450,000 gallons per day (725 tons per day). Each plant is a complete packaged solution required to liquefy natural gas. Chart’s mid-scale modular model challenges the traditional paradigm that a large baseload LNG facility provides the best economy of scale.

Modular Mid-Scale LNG Liquefaction

In contrast to the risk profile and upward CAPEX of a traditional baseload liquefaction plant, Chart's mid-scale solutions use multiple, smaller modular LNG trains that allow clients to scale projects according to market conditions and expand capacity as demand grows. Modular solutions are quicker to market and thereby generate faster revenues for stakeholders.

IPSMR® Process Technology

Chart’s IPSMR® process technology provides significantly better efficiency and superior performance over other comparable technologies and makes it possible to optimize liquefaction systems over a wide range of site conditions. IPSMR® process technology can be configured to match available gas turbine power with single cold box capacity to >4 MMTPA.

Efficient Heat Exchange is Key

Brazed aluminum heat exchangers provide optimal thermal performance and operating efficiency versus other heat exchanger types and are at the heart of our standard and modular plant solutions and process technologies.
