MRC Technology

Technology Overview Project Case

Mixed refrigerant cycle(MRC), with mixed refrigerant of C1 to C5 hydrocarbons, N2 and several other compositions as the working medium, performed condensation, evaporation, throttling expansion step by step to obtain different temperature levels of refrigeration capacity, in order to achieve a gradual cooling and liquefaction of natural gas that has been purified by deacidification and dehydration.
