Abstract

Se describe un proceso para suministrar una corriente de gas rica en metano, tal como gas natural. En el primer paso del proceso, se suministra gas a unatubería a una presion de entrada que es sustancialmente más alta que la presion de salida de lat ubería. La caída en presion en la tubería causa unadisminucion de la temperatura del gas, con preferencia hasta una temperatura inferior a aproximadamente -29sC (-20sF). La presion de entrada del gas a latubería es controlada para lograr unapresion de salida predeterminada del gas desde la tubería. El gas de salida desde la tubería luego es licuado paraproducir gas licuado que tiene una temperatura superior a aproximadamente -112sC (-170sF) y una presion suficiente para que el líquidoesté a su punto deebullicion, o por debajo del mismo. El gas licuado presurizado luego es transportado en un contenedor adecuado.
