Modular LNG production facility

A liquefied natural gas production facility comprising:

• a plurality of space-apart modules for installation at a production location to form a production train including a major axis and a minor axis, each module including a module base for mounting a plurality of plant equipment associated with a selected function assigned to said module, the module base including a major axis and a minor axis and wherein each module with its corresponding base is capable of being individually transported to the production site for installation at the production site to form the production train;
• a plurality of heat exchangers arranged to run parallel to the major axis of the production train to form a heat exchanger bank including a major axis and a minor axis, wherein the major axis of the bank is parallel to the major axis of the train;
• wherein each of at least two modules is provided with a subset of the plurality of heat exchangers, wherein the subset of the plurality of heat exchangers is arranged on a first level vertically offset from the base of the at least two modules, and the two modules are adjacent each other in the train and wherein the bank extends along both of the at least two modules in the train:
• wherein at least a first of the two modules is a partially covered module where the subset of the plurality of heat exchangers partially covers the base of the partially covered module and the subset of heat exchangers extend for a length of the minor axis of the base of the partially covered module, and wherein the major axis of the base of the partially covered module is arranged to lie perpendicular to the major axis of the train when the partially covered module is installed at the production location;
• and
• wherein the module bases of the plurality of modules in the production facility lie in the same horizontal plane.
