Considering the present market demand and the feasibility of technology
building small-scale LNG (liquefied natural gas) plants has been proved to be the most practical way to start LNG industry in China.A study was made to select the optimum liquefaction process to enhance the economy of the small-scale LNG equipment.In this paper
the same criteria were used to evaluate three types of liquefaction cycles.These types included propane pre-cooling mixed refrigeration cycle
nitrogen-methane expander cycle and new energy saving mixed refrigeration cycle(MRC).The result of comparison indicated that the new energy saving MRC is suitable for the small-scale LNG equipment due to its simple process and acceptable power consumption.
