    APCI's Technology Development

    The document discusses three main technological developments in liquefaction processes: (1) the Single MR process which uses a single mixed refrigerant but has low efficiency and capacity, (2) the C3-MR process which uses propane for pre-cooling and a mixed refrigerant for liquefaction and subcooling, improving efficiency and increasing capacity up to 5 MMTPA, and (3) the AP-X hybrid process which further improves efficiency over C3-MR by using nitrogen for subcooling and increases capacity up to 8 MMTPA.

    Single MR (Mixed Refrigerant) Process


    Use of Single Mixed Refrigerant for
    following :
     Pre-cooling
     Liquefaction
     Subcooling

    Disadvantages :
     Refrigeration efficiency is low.
     Lower Plant Capacity

    C3-MR process
     Pre-cooling using Propane

     Liquefaction, Subcooling using MR

    Advantages over MR Process:

    • Higher efficiency

    • Substantial increase in capacity

    (up to 5 MMTPA) due to reduction of

    MR volumetric flow

    AP-XTM Hybrid LNG Process


     Pre-cooling using Propane
     Liquefaction using MR
     Subcooling using Nitrogen

    Advantages over C3-MR Process:

    • Higher efficiency due to use of N2 in


    the lowest temperature range section

    • Substantial increase in capacity (upto


    8 MMTPA) due to reduction in
    Propane & MR volumetric flow
