This study describes and evaluates the performance of producing a pure Helium fraction from Helium extraction facility designed for cryogenic natural gas plants. A generic concept for obtaining a Helium pure fraction, which has relatively lower capital and operating costs should be provided. In order to achieve this objective, a new concept for obtaining a Helium pure fraction from a crude Helium fraction, is proposed based on simulations run under diverse process conditions regarding crude Helium gas’ temperature, pressure and composition. This concept is characterized by; reducing the plant safety requirements due to the extensive separation of combustible components, and compact layout of Helium extraction plant. Further re-purification is included in the subsequent Helium liquefaction step through selective adsorption, hence then increasing the purity of the Helium product and reducing the plant energy consumption required for liquefying Helium-rich fraction and the valuable Helium boil-off routed from the storage facility. The Nitrogen-rich fraction is routed to Nitrogen liquefaction installation. Liquid Nitrogen is generated within Helium recovery facility for liquid Helium shielding and container cooling. Surplus gaseous Nitrogen either can be liquefied and used within cryogenic natural gas plant as process coolant or be vented to atmosphere.

Energy conservation is an important issue in all sectoral activities, especially in processing industries such as natural gas refinery and liquefaction plant, petrochemical and cement mill in which energy isused in large amount. This paper presents a discussion on the experience in establishment and implementation the energy conservation program, including the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission achieved in the last four years in Arun LNG Plant, a commercial natural gas liquefaction plant in Aceh, Indonesia with a capacity of 2.2 million ton LNG per year. In addition, an analysis on the specific energy consumption and CO2 reduction is provided. The Energy Management Matrix was adopted in assessment of the energy management implementation in theArun LNG Plant. It was found that the efficiency of the plant tended to decrease from year to year, which was represented by the specificity of fuel consumption (accounted based on the LNG product). In 2010 the specific fuel consumption was 0.0088 mmscf per m3 LNG product; it was up to 0.0234 in 2013. Fortunately, it was observed that the specific CO2 reduction (calculated on the LNG product basis) increased during tlast four years; in 2010 and 2013 the specific CO2 reduction was 0.195 and 0.518 ton per 105 m3 LNG produced, respectively.
