LNG export facility
LNG Canada has selected GE’s high-efficiency LMS100-PB dry low emission (DLE) aeroderivative gas turbine as well as vertically and horizontally split centrifugal compressor technologies for its proposed gas liquefaction plant for the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Kitimat, British Columbia. The LMS100-PB is the largest aeroderivative gas turbine available with a free power turbine, ideally positioning it for large LNG applications. With its aviation heritage and the introduction of intercooling technology, the LMS100 offers the highest simple-cycle efficiency of any industrial gas turbine, according to GE Oil & Gas officials. The aerodynamically coupled free power turbine provides speed, flexibility and high torque for typical LNG compressor loads especially during start sequencing with pressurized conditions in the refrigeration loop, avoiding the need for starter/helper motors. LNG Canada estimates the proposed facility will have a greenhouse gas emission intensity of about 0.15 ton CO2e/ton LNG produced, which is lower than benchmarks recently introduced by the British Columbia government and among the lowest CO2-emitting LNG facilities in the world.
