The pressure of the dry gas is generally required to be increased step by step, the number of the compressor sections is not particularly limited, and the method can be applied to the method in any operation capable of increasing the pressure of the dry gas to 2-5.2 MPa. Preferably, after compression, the outlet temperature of each section of dry gas does not exceed 120 ℃.
In a preferred embodiment, the absorbent used in the absorber contains carbon three, carbon four, carbon five, carbon six and above fractions, wherein the molar content of the carbon six and above fractions is 0-10%, preferably 0-5%, more preferably 0-2%.
Wherein the absorbent is used for absorbing the two or more fractions of carbon in the dry gas. In the present invention, the specific composition of each fraction in the absorbent is not particularly limited, and for example, carbon three may be selected from propane and/or propylene, carbon four may be selected from at least one of n-butane, isobutane, 1-butene, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, and carbon five may be selected from at least one of n-pentane, isopentane, and 1-pentene. The specific contents of carbon three, carbon four and carbon five in the absorbent are not particularly limited, as long as the molar content of the fraction of carbon six and above is not more than 10%.
