Abstract: In this paper, a comparison of two different small bio-LNG plants for upgrading and liquefaction have been conducted. In the first configuration liquefaction of the biomethane occurred after the upgrading with conventional processes; in the second configuration, cryogenic upgrading occurred within the liquefaction process, removing CO2 in solid state. For both the two configurations, a two-pressure levels Joule-Brayton reverse cycle, with nitrogen as working fluid, has been considered as refrigeration cycle. The two systems have been simulated and optimized in ASPEN HYSYS, determining the values of the various working parameters which minimized the energy specific consumption.
