Abstract
LectureIncreasing demand for LNG has driven the
requirement for a significant increase in LNG plant capacity.
Qatargas II (QGII), a joint venture initiated by Qatar Petroleum,
is committed to accomplish this while reducing plant emissions
and making more efficient use of energy resources. The
Qatargas II LNG project has applied the AP-XTM process for
two large LNG trains (7.8 MTA) presently under construction
in Qatar at Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLIC). Approximately
280 MW of refrigeration compression will be required to
achieve this goal. This paper addresses the design,
manufacture, and test campaign of the world’s largest LNG
refrigeration compressor strings
