LNG Plants
Broome, WA Power Station - LNG Fuel
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (methane) which has been liquefied by cooling to a very low temperature (approximately -162 degree C).
LNG plants often use gas turbines to provide in-house power for the plant. The power is distributed
around the plant at medium voltage. Medium voltage power is used for large starters such as compressor starters. Transformer substations provide low voltage power for general use.
LNG plants have special requirements in the design of the electrical systems because of hazardous areas in the plant and because of the use of cryogenic fittings.
Areas in which BESST can provide assistance are listed below.
