LNG turbines

[SBWWSH]

In natural gas processing und liquefaction sometimes turbines are used when the natural gas or LNG/LPG are expanded. Thus the energy can be re-used for the compression of an other stream.
Does anybody know which type/ which manufacturer of turbines is used for this purpose.
Are the same or similar turbines used for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) processes?

You might search Google for "turbo expander". A lot of information to trawl through.

good luck!

SWBBSWSSHH,

The same people who produce LNG Compressors, can produce expansion turbines...
