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.A process to liquefy natural gas in conjunction with the production of a liquid stream composed mainly of hydrocarbons heavier than methane. In the process, the natural gas stream to be liquefied is partially cooled, expanded to an intermediate pressure and supplied to a distillation column. The final product of this distillation column preferably contains most of the heavier hydrocarbons than methane which, if not, would reduce the purity of the liquefied natural gas. The waste gas stream from the distillation column is compressed at an intermediate pressure, cooled under pressure to condense it, and then expand it at low pressure to form the stream of liquefied natural gas.
