(72a) Solving New Demands in LNG Technology Using Field-Proven LNG Expanders and Pumps

With the increasing utilization of expander and pump technology in all aspects of the LNG industry, new demands in expander and pump technology naturally arise. There is a need for expanders and pumps that are designed for larger flow and head conditions. In response to this demand, several design configurations have been developed using already field-proven machines. Theses configurations not only solve the requirement of larger flows and heads, they provide numerous additional benefits including greater flexibility, increased efficiency, and compact configurations to minimize the footprint.
