Abstract

Se describen un proceso y un aparato para la recuperación de etano, etileno, propano, propileno, y componentes de hidrocarburos más pesados de una corriente de gas de hidrocarburo. La corriente se divide en la primera y segunda corrientes. La primera corriente es enfriada para condensar sustancialmente todo de la misma, expandida a la presión inferior, y suministrada a una torre de fraccionamiento en una posición superior de alimentación de la mitad de la columna. La segunda corriente se enfría lo suficiente para condensarla parcialmente y se separa en corrientes de vapor y líquido. La corriente de vapor se divide en primera y segunda porciones. La primera porción se enfría para condensar sustancialmente todo de la misma, expandida a la presión de la torre, y suministrada a la torre en la posición de alimentación superior. La segunda porción es expandida a la presión de la torre y suministrada a la torre de fraccionamiento en una posición de alimentación de la mitad de la columna intermedia. La corriente líquida es expandida a la presión de la torre y suministrada a la columna en una posición inferior de alimentación de la mitad de la columna. Las cantidades y temperaturas de las alimentaciones a la torre de fraccionamiento son eficaces para mantener la temperatura de cabeza de la torre de fraccionamiento a una temperatura mediante la cual la porción principal de los componentes deseados es recuperada.A process and apparatus for the recovery of ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, and heavier hydrocarbon components of a hydrocarbon gas stream are described. The current is divided into the first and second currents. The first stream is cooled to condense substantially all of it, expanded to the lower pressure, and supplied to a fractionation tower at an upper feed position in the middle of the column. The second stream cools enough to partially condense it and separates into vapor and liquid streams. The steam stream is divided into first and second portions. The first portion is cooled to condense substantially all of it, expanded to the pressure of the tower, and supplied to the tower in the upper feed position. The second portion is expanded to the pressure of the tower and supplied to the fractionation tower in a feed position of half of the intermediate column. The liquid stream is expanded at the pressure of the tower and supplied to the column in a lower feed position in the middle of the column. The quantities and temperatures of the feeds to the fractionation tower are effective in maintaining the head temperature of the fractionation tower at a temperature by which the main portion of the desired components is recovered.
