Abstract

Process for reducing the calorific power of a natural gas containing a variety of hydrocarbons, characterized by the steps of: (a).- separate at least part of the more dense hydrocarbons from the rest of the natural gas. (b).- reform the denser separated hydrocarbons, to obtain a complementary gas of a calorific power appreciably lower than that desired for natural gas. (c).- mix the complementary gas with the rest of the natural gas. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)
