    30K - Shell DMR (Dual MR) Liquefaction Processes

    Uploaded by

    Putu Indra Mahatrisna
    The document discusses Shell's Dual Mixed Refrigerant (DMR) liquefaction process. The DMR process uses two parallel refrigeration cycles to liquefy natural gas, requiring less equipment and space. It allows for higher capacity and flexibility compared to traditional single cycle designs. The document also describes Shell's Parallel Mixed Refrigerant process which uses three parallel cycles driven by gas turbines to achieve even higher capacities of up to 8.5 Mtpa with improved reliability.
