LNG Processing Plant
What are the main installations?
Main Installations - Functionalties
Gas Treatment
Removal of water, condensate and other components (e.g. CO2, H2S, Hg, and others)
Liquefaction
Pre-Cooling, liquefaction and sub-cooling using refrigerant cycles
Storage and Loading
Storage under pressure or atmospheric pressure, loading of product by various means
(e.g. ship, truck, etc.)
Safety and Security
Installations for the plant security and process safety such as access control, CCTV, fire
and gas detection, firefighting, emergency shut down, flare, etc.

LNG Processing Plant
What else is required?
Utilities - Functionalities
Power Generation and Distribution
Power generation by gas turbines, transformation and distribution by switchgear to
various consumers
Instrumentastion and Control Installations
Distributed Control System (DCS), fire and gas detection, control valves, etc.
Nitrogen, Instrument and Plant Air Supply
Generation and storage of nitrogen, instrument and plant air
Run-Off, Sewage and Waste Water Treatment Systems and Installations

Liquefaction Process
What does a simple expander process look like?
NG
Typicals
simple process, low equipment count
nitrogen or mixed refrigerant (N2, CH4) cycle
C1
at one pressure level
pre-cooling, liquefaction and sub-cooling
realized in one heat exchanger (aluminum
X2 C2 plate fin heat exchanger)

General market opportunities for small-scale LNG
Marine Sector Mobility Industry & Power
M/S Bergenfjord (2x 125 m tank) LNG truck fuelling station Stockholm Nynshamn Terminal
Supply of nearby Refinery
Status Status Status
Due to regulation and price OEMs (Volvo, Westport, In stranded areas without
development huge interest by MAN, ) developing connection to trans-european
shipping industry technology grid, gas supply alternative
More than 20 ships equipped First LNG refuelling station in Interest from various industries
with tanks from Cryo AB Stockholm in operation, 2 more to substitute other fuels with
Viking Grace from 2013 fuelled to come in 2012 natural gas
by LNG

Experience from current operations
Australia North America Europe, UK & Scandinavia
LNG truck fuelling station BioLNG plant in Altamont California LNG truck fuelling station Stockholm
installed October 2012, Victoria
Status Status Status
Small scale plant capacity Huge spread between diesel First few stations installed
exist on both East and West and natural gas price Economic drive relative low
coast Oil & Gas industry early but strong interest for bio
Appreciation of AUD adaptor of LNG to displace methane
hampers development diesel Good cooperation within
Lack of suitable vehicles, Several players announced industry
OEM backed vehicles significant investments in
infrastructure

Lindes Intention: Establish LNG as Alternative Fuel
Success Factors
LNG Supply:
Producer/ LNG Supply
Secured LNG supply from large scale, centralised
entry points (i.e. LNG import terminal) or local LNG
production direct or over small-scale LNG terminals
to customers
No seasonality for freight haulage as for
Operator / OEM / established gas markets
Infrastructure Technology Price formula and contracting according to needs
for heavy truck operation
LNG infrastructure:
Chicken-egg problem persist funding to establish
multiple access points to LNG for road transport
Customer network, e.g. public or customer specific
/ Fleet operator Established and EU wide harmonized legislation
and standards required
Security & cost of supply, availability of Technology need to fulfil user and environmental
infrastructure and OEM backed products must requirements
come together to generate growth and avoid Customer:
disappointment on either side during early Availability of OEM backed products
market introduction. Commercially viable business case
