This trend has also stirred interest in small-scale LNG plants. Process technologies for LNG. Once natural gas has been pretreated to reduce the impurities to trace levels—i.e., water to 0.1 ppm, CO₂ to 50 ppm and Hg to less than 10 ng/Nm 3 —LNG is liquefied and subcooled by cooling the gas to –162°C (at 1 bar abs).
