Abstract
Se proporciona una instalación de procesamiento de gas para la licuefacción de una corriente de alimentación de gas natural. La instalación comprende una unidad de separación de gas que tiene por lo menos un contenedor de fraccionamiento. La unidad de separación de gas emplea lechos adsorbentes para la separación cinética de adsorción. Los lechos adsorbentes liberan una corriente de alimentación de gas rico en metano. La instalación también incluye un sistema de refrigeración por ciclo de expansión de alta presión. El sistema de refrigeración comprime la corriente de alimentación de gas rico en metano hasta una presión mayor que aproximadamente 1.000 psia. El sistema de refrigeración también enfría la corriente de alimentación de gas rico en metano en uno o más enfriadores, y luego expande la corriente de alimentación de gas enfriado para formar una corriente de producto licuado. En la presente también se proporcionan procesos para licuar una corriente de alimentación de gas natural utilizando AKS y un sistema de refrigeración por ciclo de expansión de alta presión. Dichos procesos permiten la formación de GNL utilizando una instalación que tiene menos peso que las instalaciones convencionales.
