Abstract

La presente invención se refiere a un procedimiento para la separación de un gas que contiene metano, los componentes de C2, componentes de C3 y componentes de hidrocarburo más pesados en una fracción de gas residual volátil que contiene una porción predominante de metal y los componentes de C2, y una fracción relativamente menos volátil que contiene una porción predominante de los componentes de C3 y componentes más pesados, en cuyo procedimiento (a) el gas se enfría bajo presión para proporcionar una corriente enfriada; b) la corriente enfriada se expande hasta una presión más baja mediante lo cual se enfría adicionalmente; y c) la corriente enfriada adicional se fracciona a la presión más baja mediante lo cual la porción predominante de los componentes de C3 y los componentes de hidrocarburo más pesados se recupera en la fracción relativamente menos volátil; la mejora en donde el gas se enfría lo suficientemente para condensarlo parcialmente; y (1) el gas parcialmente condensado se separa para de esta manera proporcionar una corriente de vapor y una corriente condensada; (2) la corriente de vapor luego se divide en primera y segunda corrientes gaseosas; (3) la primera corriente gaseosa se enfría para condensar esencialmente toda la misma y luego se expande a la presión más baja; (4) la primera corriente enfriada expandida luego se dirige en relación de intercambio térmico con una corriente de destilación más caliente que se eleva desde las etapas de fraccionación de una columna de destilación; 5) la corriente de destilación se enfría mediante la primera corriente lo suficientemente para condensar parcialmente la misma y la corriente de destilación parcialmente condensada se separa para de esta manera proporcionar el gas residual volátil y una corriente de reflujo, la corriente de reflujo suministra la columna de destilación en la posición de alimentación de la columna superior; 6) la primera corriente caliente se suministra en la columna en una primera poisición de alimentación de columna intermedia: 7) la segunda corriente gaseosa se expande a la presión más baja y se suministra en la columna de destilación en una segunda posición de alimentación de columna intermedia; 8) la corriente condensada se expande a la presión más baja y se suministra en la columna de destilación en una segunda posición de alimentación de columna intermedia; 8) la corriente condensada se expande a la presión más baja y se suministra a la columna de destilación en una tercera posición de alimentación de columna intermedia; y 9) las temperaturas de las alimentaciones hacia la columna son efectivas para mantener la temperatura superior de la columna a una temperatura mediante la cual la porción predominante de los componentes de C3 y los componentes de hidrocarburo más pesados se recuperan en la fracción relativamente menos volátil.
