An air-cooled heat exchanger (6) arranged in a gas processing facility for performing a liquefaction process of natural gas is configured to supply cooling air to a tube (63) through which a fluid to be cooled is caused to flow, to thereby cool the fluid to be cooled, and a mist supply section (7) is configured to supply mist obtained by spraying demineralized water, to thereby cool the cooling air. Further, the mist supply section (7) is configured to spray the demineralized water from a lateral position on an upstream side of an intake.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for processing liquefied natural gas (LNG). In one implementation, a solvent is injected into a feed of natural gas at a solvent injection point. A mixed feed is produced from a dispersal of the solvent into the feed of natural gas. The mixed feed contains heavy components. A chilled feed is produced by chilling the mixed feed. The chilled feed includes a vapor and a condensed liquid. The condensed liquid contains a fouling portion of the heavy components condensed by the solvent during chilling. The liquid containing the fouling portion of the heavy components is separated from the vapor. The vapor is directed into a feed chiller heat exchanger following separation of the liquid containing the fouling portion of the heavy components from the vapor, such that the vapor being directed into feed chiller heat exchanger is free of freezing components.

A remote hydrocarbon processing system comprising a gas compressor skid, gas processing skid, electric power generation skid, liquid storage tank, blending skid, and crude oil source, are fluid flow interconnected and located proximate to a producing well. Produced gases are delivered from the well to the gas compressor skid. Compressed natural gas is delivered to the gas processing skid where it is thermally separated to generate a processed gas stream and a processed liquid stream. The processed gas stream is delivered to the electric power generation skid and burned to generate electricity that may be delivered to an electric power transmission line. The processed liquid stream is delivered to the liquid storage tank. Crude oil from the crude oil source and processed liquid stream from the liquid storage tank are delivered to the Blending skid and blended into a lower viscosity, higher API gravity transportable crude oil.

Provided are a high-performance desulfurizing agent for gases and a gas desulfurization method that provide a high desulfurization performance even at low temperatures and can maintain its desulfurization performance for a long period of time. The desulfurizing agent is characterized in that it includes a zinc oxide, an aluminum oxide and copper, the agent further including nickel by from 1.0 mass % to 10 mass % and ruthenium by from 0.1 mass % to 1.0 mass %. The gas desulfurization method is characterized in that the desulfurizing agent is brought into contact with the gas in the coexistent of hydrogen, thus decomposing/removing sulfur compound contained in the gas.
