Abstract

LNG composition of LNG from a storage tank or other source is modified in a process in which the LNG is pumped to a first pressure and split into two portions. One portion of the pressurized LNG is then reduced in pressure and heavier components are separated from the reduced pressure LNG to thereby form a lean LNG. The lean LNG is then pumped to a higher pressure and combined with the other portion to form a leaner LNG. Preferably, separation is performed using a demethanizer, wherein part of the demethanizer overhead product is condensed to form the lean LNG, while another portion is used for column reflux. In further preferred configurations, ethane recovery is variable and in yet other configurations, propane or ethane can be delivered via a batching pipeline.
