Process Description

The LNG process is divided to five major steps contaminants removal, gas chilling, LNG storage, NGL separation, Loading.

 

  • First treat natural gas to remove contaminants such as H2S, CO2, water and mercury.
  • Then the treated gas is chilled to approximately –160°C in successively colder heat exchangers that use Propane, Ethylene and Methane as refrigerants.
  • At that time Natural Gas is converted to LNG and then pumped into insulated storage tanks (140,000 m³ each).
  • Heavy Hydrocarbons are separated throughout the Process and later returned to Upstream.
  • LNG product is exported through 36 inch pipeline -utilizing Egyptian LNG port facilities- which is designed to accommodate ships ranging in capacity from 40,000 m3 to 165,00 m3.
