A reverse-Brayton (turboexpander, not vapor-compression) liquefaction train — the compact, offshore-friendly FLNG alternative to mixed-refrigerant cycles like C3MR. Natural gas is acid-gas-scrubbed and mol-sieve-dried (fixed-recovery separators, the same simplification the existing carbon-capture example uses for amine treating), then cooled in two cascaded closed nitrogen loops: a warm loop precools the gas and the cold loop's own N2 charge, and a cold loop finishes the liquefaction to ~113 K in a main cryogenic multi-stream exchanger. Both loops are pure compressor + turboexpander cycles — no phase change in the refrigerant, no JT valves — the real differentiator from every other LNG example here. Single precool level and a single MCHE bundle (a real train uses more); refrigerant charges are set via tear_specs.
