Abstract

Oppfinnelsen vedrører en fremgangsmåte for kondensering av en gasstrøm rik på metan, fremgangsmåten omfatter: (a) tilveiebringe gasstrømmen; (b) trekke ut en del av gasstrømmen for anvendelse som et kjølemiddel; (c) komprimere kjølemidlet; (d) avkjøle det komprimerte kjølemidlet med et omgivelsestemperert kjølefluid; (e) utsette det avkjølte, komprimerte kjølemidlet for supplementær kjøling; (f) ekspandere kjølemidlet av (e) for ytterligere å kjøle kjølemidlet, for derved å produsere et ekspandert, supplementært avkjølt kjølemiddel; (g) føre det ekspanderte, supplementært avkjølte kjølemidlet til et varmevekslerområde; og (h) føre gasstrømmen av (a) gjennom varmevekslerområdet for å avkjøle minst en del av gasstrømmen ved indirekte varmeveksling med det ekspanderte, supplementært avkjølte kjølemidlet, for derved å danne en avkjølt gasstrøm. I ytterligere utførelsesformer for forbedrede virkningsgrader, kan ytterligere supplementær kjøling tilveiebringes etter et eller flere andre kompresjonstrinn.
