Things you need to know about LNG skid-mounted devices

As the world moves toward a more sustainable energy future, clean energy solutions are increasingly being integrated into a variety of sectors, including liquefied natural gas (LNG) production. LNG skid-mounted devices are also commonly used in the liquefied natural gas industry because of their convenience and flexibility.                                                                                                           

 Modular device

The LNG skid is composed of prefabricated modules or units, which contain all equipment required for the liquefaction process, such as regulating valves, flow meters, automated control instruments, etc. The modular design of the LNG skid-mounted device also makes the installation, scalability and transportation of scattered natural gas liquefaction recovery at the wellhead easier.                       

Application areas 

LNG skids are typically used to liquefy and recover loose natural gas at wellheads that are constrained by remote or stranded wellheads where traditional pipeline infrastructure is unavailable and where it is not economically feasible; they can also be used for distributed LNG production in small-scale applications such as power generation, chemical fuels and off-grid energy solutions; it can also be used for temporary or exploratory projects that require fast and flexible deployment.

Liquefaction process

LNG skids remove impurities from natural gas and cool it to cryogenic temperatures (-162°C or -260°F), allowing it to condense into a dense, energy-dense liquid form. Liquefied natural gas can be stored and transported more efficiently than gaseous natural gas.

Advantage

Cost-effectiveness: Compared with traditional facilities, the modular design of LNG skid-mounted units reduces costs in construction, installation and operation, and provides a more efficient liquefaction recovery solution.

Rapid deployment: Compared with traditional facilities, LNG skid-mounted units can be quickly deployed and debugged in remote or stranded natural gas fields, achieving production in a shorter time.

Flexibility: LNG skids can be customized or expanded based on production requirements and site conditions, and can be moved at any time, which is particularly beneficial for temporary or remote applications where traditional facilities are not feasible.

Maintenance and operation: LNG skid-related components can be pre-assembled and tested off-site, reducing the need for on-site construction and commissioning; in addition, maintenance activities can be performed more efficiently due to easier access to the equipment.

Overall, LNG skids provide a flexible, cost-effective solution for wellhead scattered natural gas liquefaction recovery, enabling the utilization and monetization of stranded natural gas resources to meet market demand for LNG.
