20110259045 | Power Matched Mixed Refrigerant Compression Circuit - A refrigerant compressor circuit for use in a liquefaction plant includes a first compression string driven by a first driver; a second compression string driven by a second driver, a pre-cooling refrigerant compression stage arranged in the first compression string to receive a stream of pre-cooling refrigerant at an inlet pressure and discharge the pre-cooling refrigerant at an outlet pressure, a first compression stage arranged in the first compression string to compress a mixed refrigerant gas from a first pressure to a second pressure, and, a second compression stage arranged in the second compression string to compress the mixed refrigerant gas from the second pressure to a third pressure. The pre-cooling refrigerant compression stage and the first compression stage of the circuit are co-axially mounted on a first shaft drivingly coupled to a first driver in the first compression string. | 10-27-2011 |

20120067080 | Mixed Refrigerant Compression Circuit - A refrigerant circuit includes a first compression stage for compressing a mixed refrigerant gas, the first compression stage including at least a first compressor body and a second parallel compressor body, each compressor body including a suction inlet and an outlet, a first distribution means for splitting the flow of refrigerant gas to the first stage of compression across the at least two parallel compressor bodies, such that a first stream of refrigerant gas is fed to the suction inlet of the first compressor body and a second stream of refrigerant gas is fed to the suction inlet of the second compressor body, a second compression stage for compressing the mixed refrigerant gas, and a first merging means for recombining the first stream of refrigerant gas with the second stream of refrigerant gas downstream of the first compression stage for delivery to the second compression stage. | 03-22-2012 |
20140053599 | Modular LNG Production Facility - A liquefied natural gas production facility and a method of designing and constructing a liquefied natural gas production facility are described. The facility includes space-apart modules for installation at a production location to form a production train including a major axis and a minor axis, each module including a module base for mounting a plurality of plant equipment associated with a selected function assigned to the module, the module base including a major axis and a minor axis. Heat exchangers are arranged to run parallel to the major axis of the production train to form a heat exchanger bank including a major axis and a minor axis, where the major axis of the bank is parallel to the major axis of the train. A subset of the plurality of heat exchangers is arranged on a first level vertically offset from the base of at least one module. | 02-27-2014 |

20090127803 | Pipe Coupling Adapted for Sealing the End of a Pipe - The present invention relates to a sealing member for use in a pipe coupling assembly and, in particular, to a sealing member for sealing the end of a pipe having an exposed metal surface at its end, such as pipes comprising an internal metal sheath which is lined internally and externally with plastic. The sealing member includes a pipe receiving portion adapted to receive the end of the pipe to thereby prevent contact between the end of the pipe and fluid travelling through the pipe. The sealing member may be used in standard pipe couplings, or is preferably incorporated into a coupling having a deformable gripping member whereby upon tightening of the coupling assembly nut, the gripping member urges against the pipe both radially and longitudinally to thereby simultaneously grip the pipe and urge the pipe end within the pipe receiving portion. | 05-21-2009 |
