Abstract

En la presente, se describe un proceso para eliminar hidrocarburos con alto punto de congelación, que incluyen compuestos de benceno. de una corriente de gas de alimentación mixta. El proceso implica enfriar corrientes del proceso en uno o más intercambiadores de calor y separar compuestos condensados en múltiples separadores para formar una corriente de gas de producto rico en metano. Se emplean corrientes de solvente seleccionadas de un tren de fraccionamiento y/o corrientes de solvente separadas para bajar el punto de congelación de una o más corrientes que contienen hidrocarburos con alto punto de congelación. También se describe un sistema correspondiente.
