PROPANE-BUTANE SEPARATION FROM NATURAL GAS.

Author(s) : VINS L.

Summary

BY COOLING NATURAL GAS AT A PRESSURE OF 5 TO 7 MEGAPASCALS, A PROPANE-BUTANE FRACTION WITH HIGH BUTANE YIELD CAN BE OBTAINED, BUT, IN THE SAME TIME, WITH TOO HIGH METHANE CONTENT. THE USE OF COUNTERFLOW CONDENSATION WITH THE CONDENSATE IN REFLUX OF THE GAS BEING COOLED GIVES A CONDENSATE WITH A RELATIVELY LOW METHANE CONTENT. IN THIS CASE, MORE GAS CAN BE EXPANDED BY A TURBINE AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR THE RECOMPRESSION OF LEAN NATURAL GAS IS ESSENTIALLY REDUCED.
