Scalable LNG Production - Refrigeration Solutions for Small Scale LNG - Brochure

In 1995, Applied LNG built the first North American LNG facility for the transportation industry at Needle Mountain located near Topock, AZ. Almost 20 years later, Applied LNG has doubled capacity at Topock and has built another plant at Midlothian located near Dallas, TX. Small scale distributed LNG promises to play a significant role in lowering costs and reducing emissions. At the heart of Applied LNG`s mixed refrigerant process is Solar Turbines` C33 centrifugal gas compressor. The Midlothian and Needle Mountain plants use the same liquefaction technology, with the main difference being the driver for the refrigeration compressors. Midlothian uses a variable speed electric motor powered by the utility and Needle Mountain uses two Centaur™ 40 gas turbines running off the same gas being liquefied. Both plants are highly automated with 24/7 production year round. The Midlothian plant has the potential to expand up to six liquefaction trains using Solar`s modular compressor solutions.!
