FIELD: oil and gas industry.
SUBSTANCE: liquefied natural gas production method according to which incoming gas flow is treated from impurities and compressed until it is separated into process and production flows. The process flow is passed through a reducer valve equipped with gas turbine, which torque is used for compression of the incoming gas flow until it is separated into process and production flows. The process flow is treated from impurities of heavy hydrocarbons by their condensation in a nozzle block of the reducer valve, which is made of heat-conductive material. Liquid phase is supercooled before pumping to the consumer's tank.
EFFECT: improved productivity at reduced energy consumption.
