Abstract

Un proceso para licuar gas natural en conjunción con la producción de una corriente liquida compuesta principalmente por hidrocarburos más pesados que el metano. En el proceso, la corriente de gas natural que se habrá de licuar se enfría parcialmente, se expande a una presión intermedia y se suministra a una columna de destilación. El producto final de esta columna de destilación preferentemente contiene la mayoría de los hidrocarburos más pesados que el metano que, de no ser así, reducirían la pureza del gas natural licuado. La corriente de gas residual de la columna de destilación se comprime a una presión intermedia, se enfría bajo presión para condensarla y, luego expandirla a baja presión para formar la corriente de gas natural licuado.
