Natural Gas Processing
LNG liquefaction, the real C3MR cascade
Natural gas precooled by a closed propane loop, then liquefied against a closed mixed-refrigerant loop in a multi-stream cryogenic exchanger — the dominant process behind most of the world's LNG capacity.

LNG Liquefaction (C3MR Cascade)
Natural gas precooled by a closed propane loop and liquefied to ~120 K against a closed mixed-refrigerant loop in a multi-stream exchanger.

Sour gas and lean MDEA/piperazine solvent contacting in a high-pressure absorber, with a low-pressure stripper regenerating the solvent.
Open process page →Glycol Dehydration (TEG)
Wet gas contacted with lean triethylene glycol, then regenerated across two flashes to meet pipeline water spec.
