GE Oil & Gas launches Micro LNG integrated plant

摘要

GE OIL & GAS has announced the development of a Micro LNG integrated plant that meets the small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) requirements of powering remote industrial and residential locations and fueling motor vehicles. GE's Micro LNG plant produces in the range of 50 to 150,000/tons per year of LNG. The biggest difference between traditional large plants, which produce in excess of one million tons per year, and Micro LNG is the end user the product is destined for. For the large LNG plant, the product is produced for international export, where plant economy of scale is among the most important factors. In Micro LNG, the distributed production is primarily aimed at local markets, where it is re-gasified and fed as pipeline natural gas or used for local power generation.
