08FEB2019 - NEWS - PTX Technologies Inc. develops technology for the LNG market at the Talbot Lake LNG Project

PTX Technologies Inc. has recently developed refrigeration/liquefication technology for the LNG market at the Talbot Lake LNG Project, located in northern Alberta. The technology is based on modified aqua-ammonia absorption technology. Aqua-ammonia, a mixture of water and ammonia, is pumped to pressure then heated to release ammonia vapour from the solution. The ammonia is then further concentrated through distillation and condensing to produce an ammonia refrigerant. The new technology is capable of providing ammonia refrigerant chilling down to -75°c at a chiller operating pressure of 5 kPa absolute. The new refrigeration process reduces the scope of overall mechanical rotating equipment required. There are no cryogenic rotating equipment components required in the process, only static equipment such as heat exchangers, pressure vessels and piping are exposed to cryogenic cold temperatures.
