Abstract

PROCESSO DE LIQUEFAçãO DO GáS COM CONDENSAçãO PARCIAL DE REFRIGERANTE MISTURADO A TEMPERATURAS INTERMEDIáRIAS Processo de produção do gás natural liq³efeito (LNG) em que a refrigeração para resfriamento e liquefação é fornecida através de um sistema de refrigerante misturado pré-resfriado através de outro sistema de refrigeração. Pelo menos, uma corrente de líquido é derivado a partir da condensação parcial e separação do refrigerante misturado a uma temperatura mais alta do que a temperatura mais baixa fornecida pelo sistema de pré-resfriamento quando o refrigerante misturado é condensado a uma pressão final mais elevada. Quando o refrigerante misturado é condensado a uma pressão mais baixa do que a pressão final mais elevada, a condensação é realizada a uma temperatura igual ou mais alta do que a temperatura mais baixa fornecida pelo sistema de pré-resfriamento. O líquido de refrigerante misturado é utilizado para fornecimento da refrigeração a uma temperatura mais baixa do que aquela fornecida pelo sistema de pré-resfriamento.
