Abstract

1297082 Natural gas liquefaction process AIR PRODUCTS & CHEMICALS Inc 12 May 1970 [12 Jan 1970] 22887/70 Addition to 1291467 Heading F4P In a methane rich gas mixture liquefaction process as claimed in the parent Specification and wherein the feed stream 10, 26, 34 is precooled to substantially below 32‹ F., e.g. 29‹ F., by indirect heat exchange at 12, 24, 36 with a compressed single component refrigerant, e.g. propane and is then liquefied and subcooled by indirect heat exchange at 48, 54 with first and second subcooled liquid portions derived from a compressed multicomponent refrigerent, e.g. propane, ethane, methane and nitrogen, including at least one component (nitrogen) more volatile than methane and wherein the multicomponent refrigerent is precooled by heat exchange at 86, 88 with said single refrigerent so as to partly condense the multicomponent refrigerent which is then separated at 110 into a liquid portion 112 which is subcooled at 114 in heat exchange with itself after expansion at 116 to form said first subcooled liquid portion, and in a gaseous portion 120 which is liquefied and subcooled at 122, 124 by heat exchange with itself after expansion at 128 to form the second subcooled liquid portion, the refrigerent is compressed at 100, 102 to above 500 p.s.i.a. is subcooled at 86, 88 to below 32‹ F. and has an average molecular weight lying between 24 and 28. The two liquid portions of the multicomponent refrigerent are thus vaporized and pass from the heat exchanger casing 50 through lines 136, 138 to compressor 100, 102, exchangers 86, 88 to the separator 110, thus forming a closed circuit. The feed gas mixture is freed of water vapour and benzine in driers 20, a scrubber column 28 and separators 14, 38. The single component refrigerent may also comprise ethane, propylene, butane and C 2 to C 4 halogens.
