Definitions
- the C 2 + hydrocarbon fraction recovered from natural gas is advantageously used to produce ethane and liquids which constitute raw materials in petrochemicals.
- the second recirculation stream is introduced into a stream located downstream of the first heat exchanger and upstream of the first expansion turbine to form the dynamic expansion stream;
- the method comprises the passage of the sampling stream in a third heat exchanger and in a fourth heat exchanger before its introduction into the third compressor, then the passage of the compressed sampling stream in the fourth heat exchanger, then in the third heat exchanger for feeding the head of the separation column, the second recirculation stream being taken from the cooled compressed sampling stream, between the fourth heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger;
- the pressure of the third recirculation stream is lower than the pressure of the charge natural gas stream and is greater than the pressure of the separation column;
- the molar flow rate of the third recirculation stream is greater than 10% of the molar flow rate of the charge natural gas stream
- the molar flow rate of the sampling stream is greater than 4%, advantageously 10% of the molar flow rate of the feed natural gas stream;
- the fourth recirculation stream 136 is then brought to the second dynamic expansion turbine 132 to be expanded at a pressure lower than the pressure of the separation column 26 and in particular equal to 15.4 bar and produce frigories.
- the temperature of the cooled fourth recirculation stream 138 coming from the turbine 132 is thus less than -30 ° and in particular substantially equal to -43.1 ° C.
- the cooled fourth recirculation stream 138 is then reintroduced into the methane-rich head stream 82 between the outlet of the second exchanger 24 and the inlet of the first exchanger 16.
- the frigories generated by the dynamic expansion in the turbine 132 are transmitted. by heat exchange in the first exchanger 16 to the charge natural gas stream 15. This dynamic expansion allows to recover 2677 kW of energy.
- the installation is devoid of the second dynamic expansion turbine 132 and the third compressor 134 coupled to the second dynamic expansion turbine 132.
- the light fraction 42 from the separator balloon 18 is not divided. All of this fraction then forms the turbine feed stream 46 which is sent to the first dynamic expansion turbine 22.
