Abstract

Det blir beskrevet en fremgangsmåte og en innretning for kondensering av en hydrokarbonrik strøm, spesielt en jordgasstrøm, som har en kuldemiddelblandingskretsløpskaskade som består av tre kuldemiddelblandingskretsløp som kondenseringen av den hydrokarbonrike strømmen foregår mot, hvor det første av de tre kuldemiddelblandingskretsløpene tjener til forkjølingen (EI), det andre kuldemiddelblandingskretsløpet tjener til den egentlige kondenseringen (E2) og det tredje kuldemiddel-blandingskretsløpet tjener til underkjølingen (E3) av den kondenserte hydrokarbonrike strømmen, og har flere ett- eller flertrinns fortettere som tjener til kondenseringen av kuldemiddelblandingene. Ifølge oppfinnelsen blir fortetterne (V2, V3, VY, V4) sammenfattet til to fortetterstrenger, og driften av fortetterne (V2, V3, VY, V4) foregår gjennom to identiske eller to tilnærmet identiske drivverk (GT I, GT2).A method and apparatus for condensing a hydrocarbon-rich stream, especially a natural gas stream, having a refrigerant mixing circuit cascade consisting of three refrigerant mixing circuits against which the condensation of the hydrocarbon-rich stream takes place are described, wherein the first of the three refrigerant mixing circuits serves to , the second refrigerant mixture circuit serves for the actual condensation (E2) and the third refrigerant mixture circuit serves for the subcooling (E3) of the condensed hydrocarbon-rich stream, and has several single- or multi-stage densifiers which serve for the condensation of the refrigerant mixtures. According to the invention, the densifiers (V2, V3, VY, V4) are combined into two densifier strings, and the operation of the densifiers (V2, V3, VY, V4) takes place through two identical or two almost identical drives (GT I, GT2).
