Abstract

"PROCESSO PARA LIQuEFAZER UMA CORRENTE ENRIQUECIDA EM METANO" Liq³efação de uma corrente enriquecida em metano compreendendo a) suprir uma corrente de gás natural (1) a uma coluna de lavagem (5), remover na coluna de lavagem (5) os hidrocarbonetos mais pesados da corrente de gás natural (1) para obter uma corrente de topo gasosa (8) retirada pelo topo da coluna de lavagem (5), condensar parcialmente a corrente de topo gasosa e remover da mesma uma corrente de condensado (91) a qual é retornada para a parte superior da coluna de lavagem (5) como refluxo; b) liq³efazer a corrente enriquecida em metano em um tubo (15) disposto em um trocador de calor principal (17) por meio de uma troca de calor indireta com um refrigerante multicomponente que evapora na pressão baixa do refrigerante retirado do lado do casco (19) do trocador de calor principal (15) e condensar parcialmente o mesmo na pressão elevada do refrigerante; e (c) comprimir a pressão do refrigerante multicomponente em um tubo (38) disposto em um trocador de calor auxiliar (35) por troca de calor indireta com um refrigerante multicomponente auxiliar que evapora na pressão baixa do refrigerante auxiliar para obter um refrigerante multicomponente para uso na etapa b), caracterizado pelo fato de que a condensação parcial da corrente de topo gasosa é conduzida em um tubo (83) disposto no trocador de calor auxiliar (35).
