Natural gas converted to a liquid state at temperatures less than critical. LNG is a cryogenic liquid obtained from natural gas by cooling to a condensation temperature of -161.5 °C. The crystallization temperature is -182.5 °C, the density is 0.42 kg/l.
It is produced, stored and transported using specialized cryogenic equipment.
The main advantage of LNG is that when liquefied, the volume of gas is reduced by 600 times.
In practice, this means that the same volume contains 3 times more of LNG than compressed natural gas (CNG) at a pressure of 20 MPa.
FNG offers a new LNG production technology based on the generation of cold by means of vortex coolers, which do not have rotating mechanisms as part of their design, and therefore its service life is commensurate with the service life of the main gas pipeline.
The use of such installations with a capacity of up to 5 t/h differs in that no gas pretreatment system is required, since all harmful inclusions present in the main gas (moisture, carbon dioxide, emulsions, engine oil and even mercury) are frozen out. And then they are removed from the installation during warming up (thawing) from gas hydrates, which form light hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide at low temperatures and with presence of moisture in the gas.
FNG Ltd.(Kazakhstan) Private company is a co-owner of a patented technology for the manufacture of equipment for low-tonnage plants for the production of liquefied natural gas, with a capacity of 36.6 thousand tons of finished products per year.
The company's goal is to develop a new industry and consumer market in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In particular, it implies the development of the market of natural-gas-based motor fuel for heavy-duty motor vehicles, railway transport, agricultural and industrial sector, as well as providing potential consumers with liquefied natural gas where the construction of cross-country gas pipelines is not profitable.
Oil producing companies of the Republic of Kazakhstan are interested in increasing oil production, but the most urgent problem is the utilization of associated petroleum gas, especially in small fields with small volumes of gas release.
Associated petroleum gas is a by-product of oil production and, due to the lack of high-quality processing technologies, is burned in flares. Burning leads results in the increase of greenhouse effect, and also poses a threat on human health due to the large volumes of carbon dioxide released. For this purpose, high environmental fines exist in the country for burning the smallest volumes of gas or even for the closure of the field.
