CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT MONITORING STRATEGY OF LNG PLANT MACHINERY Of all the machines used in the oil & gas industry, the centrifugal compressor is one of the most widely utilized. There are numerous compressor processes in the oil & gas industry, and equally numerous machine configurations to meet these process requirements. The monitoring requirements are also individualized for each specific process application. The compressor plays an equally important role in the LNG industry. Both axial and centrifugal compressors, sometimes with many side streams, are used for compressing low temperature refrigerant gases in the liquefaction process. The monitoring strategy example described in the images below is based on a typical propane, mixed refrigerant, and end flash gas compressor application. Centrifugal and axial compressors (propane, mixed refrigerant, end flash) 1 02/06/2021
