20130036763 | METHOD FOR START-UP OF A LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) PLANT - A method for start-up of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, the plant including a liquefaction unit arranged in a flow path of the plant, including removing LNG from a first location in the flow path downstream of the liquefaction unit; vaporizing the removed LNG, or heating the removed LNG so that the removed LNG is transformed to gas phase; and re-admitting the vaporized or transformed LNG to the flow path at a second location upstream of the liquefaction unit. A corresponding LNG plant is also provided. | 02-14-2013 |
