Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a liquid natural gas plant (1) for producing liquefied natural gas. The liquid natural gas plant (1) comprises two or more parallel treatment and liquefaction trains (A, B), each train comprising a cooling stage (14) arranged to receive a cleaned natural gas stream (13) from a gas treatment stage (12), an NGL- extraction unit (16) for extracting natural gas liquids (161), thereby generating a light natural gas stream (162). The liquid natural gas plant (1) comprises an additional liquefaction train (C), comprising an additional cooling stage (214) arranged to receive an additional feed stream for generating additional liquefied natural gas. The additional feed stream (210) comprises two or more side streams taken from the light natural gas taken from the respective light natural gas streams (163) of the one or more parallel treatment and liquefaction trains (A, B).
