Abstract

Un proceso y un aparato para un conjunto de procesamiento compacto para recuperar propano, propileno, y componentes hidrocarburos más pesados de una corriente de gas de hidrocarburos. La corriente de gas se enfría, se expande a una menor presión, y se alimenta a un medio de absorción. Una primera corriente del líquido de destilación proveniente del medio de absorción se alimenta a un medio para la transferencia de masa. Una primera corriente de vapor de destilación proveniente del medio para la transferencia de masa se enfría para condensarla parcialmente, formando una corriente de vapor residual y una corriente condensada. La corriente condensada se suministra como alimentación superior al medio de absorción. Una segunda corriente de vapor de destilación proveniente del medio de absorción se calienta, enfriando a la primera corriente de vapor de destilación, se combina con la corriente de vapor residual, y se calienta, enfriando la corriente de gas. Una segunda corriente del líquido de destilación proveniente del medio para la transferencia de masa se calienta en un medio para la transferencia de calor y masa para agotarla en sus componentes volátiles.A process and apparatus for a compact processing assembly to recover propane, propylene, and heavier hydrocarbon components from a stream of hydrocarbon gas. The gas stream is cooled, expanded at a lower pressure, and fed to an absorption medium. A first stream of the distillation liquid from the absorption medium is fed to a mass transfer medium. A first stream of distillation steam from the mass transfer medium is cooled to partially condense it, forming a residual vapor stream and a condensed stream. The condensed current is supplied as a feed higher than the absorption medium. A second stream of distillation steam from the absorption medium is heated, cooling to the first stream of distillation steam, combined with the residual steam stream, and heated, cooling the gas stream. A second stream of the distillation liquid from the mass transfer medium is heated in a medium for heat and mass transfer to deplete it in its volatile components.
