The dual cycle mixed refrigerant (DMR), developed by Shell <strong>and</strong> others, may<br />
look simpler but the overall design will be similar in complexity as multistage<br />
compressors are typically needed. It is shown on the left with the C3MR on<br />
the right for comparison.<br />

For small <strong>and</strong> micro LNG, single cycle designs are often preferred. There are<br />
literally hundreds of patented solutions, but only a h<strong>and</strong>ful of mainline<br />
licensors, that have solved the challenge of achieving single cycle<br />
refrigeration. However, this means multiple internal stages in the process<br />
flow <strong>and</strong> the heat exchanger itself. The PRICO SMR is shown on the left <strong>and</strong><br />
the Linde LIMUM ® (on the right).<br />
