Abstract

"PROCESSO PARA TRATAMENTO E LIQUEFAçãO DE GáS NATURAL A ELEVADA PRESSãO" Um processo para tratamento e liquefação de gás natural a pressão elevada inclui um primeiro meio de troca de calor (102, 104, 106), primeiro meio de expansão (108), meio de separação de gás líquido (110), meios de compressão (114), meios de refrigeração (118), um segundo meio de troca de calor (120), um segundo meio de expansão (122) e uma unidade de vaporização de LNG (124). Os gases de vaporização saindo da unidade de vaporização de LNG (124) podem ou ser passados através dos primeiro e segundo trocadores de calor (102, 104, 106, 120), ou desviados para um uso alternativo externo dos gases de vaporização em combinação com a produção de LNG. Os meios de refrigeração podem ser providos por uma unidade de cascata de propano/etileno. Os gases e vaporização podem ser desviados' para uma planta de metanol. Esta planta de metanol pode incluir processos olefínicos adicionais. Os gases de vaporização podem ser também desviados para uma planta de geração de eletricidade."PROCESS FOR TREATING AND LIQUEFACING NATURAL GAS AT HIGH PRESSURE" A process for treating and liquefying natural gas at high pressure includes a first heat exchange medium (102, 104, 106), first expansion medium (108), medium liquid gas separator (110), compression means (114), cooling means (118), a second heat exchange medium (120), a second expansion medium (122) and an LNG vaporization unit ( 124). The vaporization gases exiting the LNG vaporization unit (124) can either be passed through the first and second heat exchangers (102, 104, 106, 120), or diverted to an alternative external use of the vaporization gases in combination with the production of LNG. The cooling means can be provided by a propane / ethylene cascade unit. The gases and vaporization can be diverted 'to a methanol plant. This methanol plant can include additional olefinic processes. Vaporization gases can also be diverted to an electricity generation plant.
