What can The Power of Purity™ do for you?
Whether you employ an AP-C3MR, Optimized Cascade Process (OCP), or any version of SMR, i.e., Chart IPSMR, Linde LIMUM Process, the refrigerant you use for liquefaction impacts your LNG operations. Most refrigerants contain contaminants that cause adverse chemical reactions and can slow down or shut down a plant. However, our high-purity refrigerants optimize plant and business performance.
High-purity refrigerants:
Our hydrocarbons are the world’s purest and include:
Refrigerant contaminants can lead to gas leaks, equipment failure, and wasteful power consumption.

LNG plants using high-purity refrigerants realize substantial cost savings.

There is a direct correlation between refrigerant purity and compressor performance. The diagram below is a typical high-efficiency centrifugal compressor performance curve. With impurities like ethane, CO2, butanes, etc., the polytropic head will trend high toward the surge limit, which is not desirable.
By using high-purity refrigerants, LNG plants minimize process disruptions and avoid flaring ethane and other lighter components during the HHP stage. These high-purity hydrocarbon refrigerants are:
Our high-purity refrigerants are produced at and distributed from Diversified CPC plants throughout the United States. They are transported via dedicated fleets that are designed and operated to maintain product purity levels. We offer:
