Malaysian studies progress on higher LNG production through performance optimization

Monday, 06 February 2012

We have made progress in our research into optimization of the Spiral Wound Heat Exchanger (SWHE) for use in LNG production plants.

A simulation was built using MATLAB, which is integrated with the Excel spreadsheet and Aspen HYSYS. As an initial validation step we have compared the experimental results with the simulated outcomes.

We are specifically comparing the heat transfer coefficient for flow inside the outer shell as well as other dimension-less properties.
