Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de liquéfaction d'un gaz naturel (50) avec la production d'un filet liquide contenant surtout des hydrocarbures plus lourds que du méthane (41). Dans ce procédé, le filet de gaz naturel à liquéfier (31) est partiellement refroidi, dilaté à une pression intermédiaire (14, 15), et alimenté dans une colonne de distillation (19). Le produit de fond (41) provenant de cette colonne de distillation contient, de préférence, une majorité d'hydrocarbure plus lourd que du méthane qui dans un autre cas réduirait la pureté du gaz naturel liquéfié (50). Le filet de gaz résiduel (37) provenant de la colonne de distillation (19) est comprimé (16) à une pression intermédiaire supérieure, refroidi sous pression (60) afin d'être condensé, puis dilaté (61) à basse pression afin de former le filet de gaz naturel liquéfié.
