Abstract

Un proceso para la remoción y concentración de especies de hidrocarburos de mayor peso molecular a partir de una corriente basada en metano que comprende los pasos de : (a) condensación de una porción menor de la corriente de gas basada en metano para de esta manera producir una corriente bifásica; (b) alimentación de dicha corriente bifásica dentro de la sección superior de una columna; (c) remoción a partir de la sección superior de dicha columna de una corriente líquida rica en pesados; (d) rernoción a partir de la sección inferior de dicha columna de una corriente líquida rica en pesados; (e) contacto vía intercambio de calor indirecto de la corriente líquida rica en pesados con una corriente de gas objeto destilación de despojo rica en metano para de esta manera producir una corriente rica en pesados caliente y una corriente de gas objeto de destilación de despojo rica en metano fría; (f) alimentación de dicha corriente de gas objeto de destilación de despojo rica en metano fría dentro de la sección inferior de la columna; y (g) contacto de la corriente bifásica y la corriente de gas objeto de destilación de despojo rica en metano fría en dicha columna para de esta manera producir la corriente pobre en pesados y la corriente líquida rica en pesados.<EMI FILE="97015904_1" ID="1" IMF=JPEG >
