  • Mixed refrigerant distributed chilling scheme
    Patent number: 10443927
    Abstract: Processes and systems are provided for recovering a liquid natural gas (“LNG”) from a hydrocarbon-containing gas. More particularly, the present invention is generally related to processes and systems that optimize the chilling efficiencies of an LNG facility through the utilization of an auxiliary refrigeration cycle. Additionally, the present invention is also generally related to the rerouting of mixed refrigerants in a closed-loop refrigeration cycle in order to optimize the chilling efficiencies of the LNG facility.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 2, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 15, 2019
    Assignee: Black & Veatch Holding Company
    Inventors: Jason M. Manning, Justin Ellrich, Shawn D. Hoffart
