FAQ
GTL applications
What is the smallest GTL plant that EAJV can supply ?
What is the largest GTL plant that EAJV can supply ?
20,000 barrels/day.
Is a 1,000 barrels per day economically viable ?
Yes, only if the feedstock gas is inexpensive.
Which products can be obtained from an EAJV GTL plant ?
Standard product mix is 5% LPG, 20% Naphtha and 75% Diesel. This product mix can be changed at the plant design stage to produce other product mix such as jet fuel, waxes etc.
How much gas is required to justify a GTL plant ?
Is GTL technology complicated ?
Yes, it includes three major islands which each has several subsystems.
Is the technology mature and reliable ?
Yes, each major process island has a solid track record and their integration into a single GTL plant has been done for years now.
LNG applications
What is the largest skid mounted LNG plant that EAJV can supply ?
What is the smallest skid mounted LNG plant that EAJV can supply ?
30,000 Nm3/day (1.22 MMscfd)
Which LNG technologies are available from EAJV ?
Single cycle mixed refrigerant (MRC), nitrogen expansion, high pressure gas expansion.
Which LNG technology supplied by EAJV is the most energy efficient ?
MRC.
Is MRC technology more expensive than the other two ?
No, MRC and nitrogen expansion are similar in price.
Why customers would consider technologies other than MRC ?
Which is the simplest LNG technology to operate and maintain ?
High pressure gas expansion.
Which are the disadvantages of the high pressure gas expansion LNG technology ?
It is slightly more capital intensive than the other two (MRC and nitrogen expansion) and it consumes more electricity.
How much natural gas reserve is needed to justify an LNG plant ?
EAJV’s small LNG plants are skid mounted and can be relocated to a different source of natural gas after a few years of operation. Small LNG plants are defined as having a capacity of 30,000 to 100,000 Nm3/day of feed gas.
