Definition LNG Train refers to the compressors train used in industrial process to convert natural gas into Liquefied Natural Gas, called LNG. Comments The process to convert natural gas into LNG is based on three steps, gas treatment, gas compression and refrigeration. Since the natural gas contains many non-methane gas and impurities and water which can […]
Definition NGL is the acronym of Natural Gas Liquids. These Natural Gas Liquids are also called Condensates and refer to the non-methane hydrocarbon gas such as Ethane, Propane, Benzene, Butane or Pentane which stand at liquid state within the reservoir at underground pressure. Comments While being at liquid state in the reservoir, the NGLs turn […]

Natural gas is a fossil fuel found in natural underground rock formations and mostly in combination with other hydrocarbon resources such as coal or oil. Natural gas is […]
Definition LNG is the acronym of Liquefied Natural Gas. The Natural Gas is Methane. The operation of Liquefaction is made by the compression of the gas at moderate pressure and cooling at the cryogenic temperature of – 160°C. LNG is a clear, colourless, non-toxic liquid. The volume of the LNG is 1/600th of its volume as […]
