    • A method of cooling a boil-off gas (BOG) stream from a liquefied gas tank comprising at least the step of heat exchanging the BOG stream with a first refrigerant in a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger having an entry port and a warmer exit port, and comprising at least the steps of: (a) passing the first refrigerant into the entry port of the heat exchanger and into a first zone of the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the BOG stream, to provide a first warmer refrigerant stream; (b) withdrawing the first warmer refrigerant stream from the heat exchanger at an intermediate exit port between the entry port and the warmer exit port; (c) admixing the first warmer refrigerant stream with an oil-containing refrigerant stream to provide a combined refrigerant stream; (d) passing the combined refrigerant stream into the heat exchanger through an entry port located in a second zone of the heat exchanger that is warmer than the first zone; (e) passing the combined refrigerant stream out of the heat exchanger through the warmer exit port. The present invention is a modification of a refrigerant cycle for BOG cooling, and LNG re-liquefaction in particular, that allows the use of a cost-efficient oil-injected screw compressor in the refrigerant system. The present invention is also able to accommodate the possibility of different flows or flow rates of the first refrigerant stream and the oil-containing refrigerant stream, such that there is reduced or no concern by the user of the process in relation to possible oil freezing and clogging of the heat exchanger caused by variation of the flow or flow rate of the oil-containing refrigerant stream.

    • The present invention is a modification of a typical single mixed refrigerant (SMR) cycle for LNG re-liquefaction in particular, that allows the use of a cost-efficient oil-injected screw compressor in the mixed refrigerant system. In comparison with the typical arrangement, the present innovation allows for reduced complexity, fewer pieces of equipment, and reduced capital cost. There is shown a method of cooling a boil-off gas (BOG) stream from a liquefied gas tank using a single mixed refrigerant (SMR) comprising at least the step of heat exchanging the BOG stream with the SMR in a liquefaction heat exchanger system to provide a cooled BOG stream, wherein the SMR is provided in an SMR recirculating system comprising at least the steps of: (a) compressing the SMR using at least one oil-injected screw compressor to provide a post-compression SMR stream; (b) separating the post-compression SMR stream to provide an oil-based stream and a first SMR vapour stream; (c) passing the first SMR vapour stream into the liquefaction heat exchanger system to cool the first SMR vapour stream and provide a cooled first SMR vapour stream; (d) withdrawing the cooled first SMR vapour stream from the liquefaction heat exchanger system; (e) separating the cooled first SMR vapour stream to provide a liquid-phase SMR stream and an oil-free SMR vapour stream; (f) passing the oil-free SMR vapour stream through the liquefaction heat exchanger system to provide a condensed SMR stream; and (g) expanding the condensed SMR stream to provide an expanded lowest-temperature SMR stream to pass through the liquefaction heat exchanger system for heat exchange against the BOG stream.
