LNG Reliquefaction - ecoSMRT®

Single mixed refrigerant (SMR) reliquefaction, offering unparalleled efficiency, cost

and footprint savings.

footprint, but also means that ecoSMRT® needs
just a single compressor, which translates to lower
maintenance requirements and a reduced spares
inventory.

Improvements in main engine fuel efficiency coupled

with lower voyage speeds have resulted in LNG
reliquefaction systems being increasingly required to
tackle excess boil off gas (BOG) on LNG carriers.
By utilising ecoSMRT® technology, LNG carriers can
operate at the cutting edge of efficiency, with greater
reliquefaction capacity at lower purchase and operating
costs than competing SMR or nitrogen expansion
systems.
The ecoSMRT® patent-pending technology provides
high-efficiency reliquefaction of LNG boil-off gas, using
only a single mixed refrigerant circuit without the need
for external pre-cooling.

The LNG carrier’s fuel gas compressor supplies ecoSMRT® process schematic
pressurised BOG to the ecoSMRT® plant. This gas passes
through the reliquefaction exchanger, in which the cold Mixed refrigerant
temperature required to reliquefy the BOG is provided
by the SMR circuit. Boil-off gas
