WSCE Mini LNG Plant Case Studies

Two example installations are shown below. These MiniLNG plants are designed,
constructed, installed, and commissioned completely by WSC as a !turn"ey
deli#ery.$ The lead time %or the MiniLNG&' plant e(uipment is %our months %rom the
contract date.
Case 1: WSCE-MiniLNG-1 Site in Plant at the Natural Gas Well Shenmu
(uipment installed at Shenmu abo#e is the standard pac"age o% WSC&MiniLNG&'.
The capacity is ),*** +S gallons per day, or ,.- metric tons per day, or '. cubic
meters li(uid per day. /t produces -0.- ton1wee" o% LNG, or 00- ton1month, or 0-**
ton1year.
Standard MiniLNG&' plant is composed o% '* containeri2ed units3

'*4Gas lectric :ower Generator +nit
The plant site area re(uired by Code N=:6 -<6 is '-** s(uare meters. 6ll powered
e(uipment such as compressors and electric generators are air&cooled. 6ll
e(uipment units are tested in&house be%ore shipping out to the well site. :lant
installation on site is limited to the %lange connections. There is #ery limited welding
wor" re(uired during installation on site. The plant setup time on site is two wee"s
plus two wee"s commissioning towards production o% LNG.
The ma>or maintenance wor" needed will be scheduled compressor spare parts
replacing e#ery -*** hours. That maintenance ta"es a wee" at most. M56 and
molecular sie#e change schedule is e#ery two or three years depending on %eed gas
composition. The plant is controlled by the 5CS1S5 system and is highly
automated. ?nce the plant has started, it is not necessary to be continuously
manned on site during the normal operation. The control and monitoring o% the plant
operation can be remote. Two or three operators can run the plant.
Case 2: WSCE-MiniLNG-1 Plant at the LNG Truck Fueling Station in Wuhai
(uipment installed at Wuhai is also the standard pac"age o% WSC&MiniLNG&'.
The same as that in Case ' abo#e. The li(ue%action plant in Wuhai is exactly same
as that in Shenmu. =or truc" %ueling, two units are added to the li(ue%action plant,
the !LNG@ Tan" and :ump +nit$ and !=ueling and Metering +nit$.
The capacity is ),*** +S gallons per day, or ,.- metric tons per day, or '. cubic
meters li(uid per day. The daily produced LNG by the plant can support )* hea#y
truc"s with each truc" %ueled )** liters1day, or ;* medium si2e truc"s at 0**
liters1day.
The MiniLNG&' with truc" %ueling units is composed o% '0 containeri2ed units3

'04=ueling and Metering +nit
The plant site area re(uired by Code N=:6 -<6 is 7*** s(uare meters including
truc" %ueling circle. 6ll maintenance is similar to the MiniLNG&' Site in :lant at the
Natural Gas Well Shenmu abo#e.
