A method of conditioning natural gas in preparation for storage, involves taking an existing stream of continuously flowing natural gas flowing through a gas line on its way to end users and diverting a portion of the stream of continuously flowing natural gas to a storage facility through a storage diversion line. The pressure of the natural gas is lowered, as is the temperature by the Joules-Thompson effect. The natural gas is passed in a single pass through a series of heat exchangers prior to resuming flow through the gas line at the lowered pressure. The diverted natural gas is liquefied in preparation for storage by effecting a heat exchange with the natural gas.

Une méthode de conditionnement du gaz naturel dans la préparation pour son stockage consiste à prendre un débit existant de gaz naturel à écoulement continu dans une conduite de gaz dans son acheminement aux utilisateurs finals et de détourner une partie du débit de gaz naturel à écoulement continu vers une installation de stockage au moyen d'une conduite de détournement pour stockage. La pression du gaz naturel est abaissée, ainsi que la température par l'effet Joule- Thomson. Le gaz naturel est passé dans un écoulement monophasique dans une série d'échangeurs de chaleur avant de reprendre son débit dans la conduite de gaz à la pression abaissée. Le gaz naturel détourné est liquéfié en préparation du stockage en effectuant un échange de chaleur avec le gaz naturel.
