Abstract: A system for the production of liquefied natural gas from raw natural gas. The system includes a pre-treatment module to remove impurities from a raw natural gas input, a gas compression module to compress gas received from the pre-treatment module, an absorption chiller for providing gas equipment cooling in the compression module, and a gas liquefaction module including a gas pre-cooler configured to pre-cool gas received from the compression module using a closed-loop refrigeration cycle and a six-stream heat exchanger unit configured to cool gas received from the gas pre-cooler. A power module is provided that powers the pre-treatment module, gas compression module, and gas liquefaction module.

Abstract: A system for the storage and transportation of high pressure compressed natural gas. The system includes a gas distribution manifold having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is configured to be connectable to a natural gas supply source, and a plurality of storage vessels in fluid communication with the distribution manifold between the inlet and the outlet. The system further includes at least one isolation valve operatively connected between the gas distribution manifold and the plurality of storage vessels, wherein the at least one the isolation valve is configured to control gas filling and discharging of the plurality of storage vessels.
