Abstract

An LNG production plant is constructed from a plurality of containerised LNG liquefaction units. Each containerised LNG liquefaction unit can produce a predetermined quantity of LNG. For example, up to 0.3 MPTA. A manifold system enables connection between the plurality of containerised LNG liquefaction units, and at least a feed stream of natural gas, a source of electrical power, and an LNG storage facility. The production capacity of the plant is incrementally changed by connecting or disconnecting containerised LNG liquefaction units to or from the plant via the manifold system. Each unit contains its own liquefaction plant having a closed loop SMR circuit. Refrigerant within the SMR circuit is circulated solely by pressure differential generated by refrigerant compressors in the liquefaction plant.
