Abstract
The process of liquefied natural gas is less then $-160^{\circ}C$ to natural gas by cooling at atmospheric pressure. When control strategy was made, one of the most significant is analysis of process. It is important to understand the control variable change according to manipulated variable change. In this study, we experiment natural gas liquefied process using C3MR(Propane Pre-cooled Mixed Refrigerant) process by BSU(Bench Scale Unit). We analyzed the change of refrigerant temperature and natural gas temperature according to the change of refrigerant flow rate so as to search an influence flow rate according to adjust each manipulated variables. One of the manipulated variable affected a number of control variables, but were able to confirm a control variable with a large response.
