LNG is made by chilling natural gas to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit. Specialized units, known as liquefaction trains, make LNG by employing equipment to shrink gas in a series of processes. LNG plants often have more than one train. Train size at lage onshore base load plants has continued increasing with a standard unit typically capable of producing about 4 million metric tons/year. Trains also manufacture LNG in smaller quantities for transport via road or rail.
