Abstract

Le procédé comporte les étapes suivantes : - prélèvement d'un courant de recyclage (152) dans un courant de tête (131, 140, 141) issu d'une colonne de récupération (35); - mise en relation d'échange thermique du courant de recyclage (152) avec au moins une partie du courant de tête (131) issu de la colonne de récupération (35), - réintroduction, après détente, du courant de recyclage refroidi et détendu, dans la colonne de récupération (35). Le procédé comporte le prélèvement dans le fond de la colonne de récupération (35) d'au moins un courant de rebouillage de fond (165), et la mise en relation d'échange thermique du courant de rebouillage de fond avec au moins une partie du gaz naturel de départ (13) ou/et avec le courant de recyclage (152), le rebouillage de fond étant assuré par les calories prélevées dans le courant de gaz naturel de départ (13) ou/et dans le courant de recyclage (152)The method comprises the steps of: - withdrawing a recycle stream (152) in an overhead stream (131, 140, 141) from a recovery column (35); placing the recycle stream (152) in heat exchange relation with at least a portion of the overhead stream (131) from the recovery column (35); - re-introducing, after expansion, the cooled and relaxed recycle stream; in the recovery column (35). The method comprises withdrawing from the bottom of the recovery column (35) at least one bottom reboiling stream (165), and placing the bottom reboiling stream in heat exchange relationship with at least a portion of the bottom reboiling stream (165). starting natural gas (13) and / or with the recycle stream (152), the bottom reboiling being provided by the heat taken from the starting natural gas stream (13) and / or the recycle stream ( 152)
