Abstract

SE REFIERE A UN PROCESO PARA LICUAR GAS NATURAL EN CONJUNCION CON LA PRODUCCION DE UNA CORRIENTE DE LIQUIDO QUE CONTIENE PREDOMINANTEMENTE HIDROCARBUROS MAS PESADOS QUE EL METANO. EN EL PROCESO, SE ENFRIA PARCIALMENTE LA CORRIENTE DE GAS NATURAL QUE SE VA A LICUAR Y SE DIVIDE EN UNA PRIMERA Y UNA SEGUNDA CORRIENTE. LA PRIMERA CORRIENTE SE SIGUE ENFRIANDO PARA CONDENSARLA, SE LA EXPANDE A UNA PRESION INTERMEDIA Y LUEGO SE LA SUMINISTRA A UNA COLUMNA DE DESTILACION EN UNA PRIMERA POSICION DE ALIMENTACION A MITAD DE COLUMNA. LA SEGUNDA CORRIENTE TAMBIEN SE EXPANDE A PRESION INTERMEDIA Y LUEGO SE LA SUMINISTRA A LA COLUMNA EN UNA SEGUNDA POSICION DE ALIMENTACION INFERIOR A MITAD DE COLUMNA. SE EXTRAE UNA CORRIENTE DE DESTILACION DESDE LA COLUMNA DEBAJO DEL PUNTO DE ALIMENTACION DE LA SEGUNDA CORRIENTE Y SE ENFRIA PARA CONDENSAR UNA PARTE DE LA MISMA, FORMANDO UNA CORRIENTE DE REFLUJO. ADEMAS UNA PORCION DE LA CORRIENTE DE REFLUJO SE DIRIGE A LA COLUMNA DE DESTILACION COMO SU ALIMENTACION SUPERIOR. EL PRODUCTO DEL FONDO PROVENIENTE DE LA COLUMNA DE DESTILACION CONTIENE LA MAYOR PARTE DE TODOS LOS HIDROCARBUROS MAS PESADOS QUE EL METANO QUE DE OTRA MANERA PODRIAN REDUCIR LA PUREZA DEL GAS NATURAL LICUADO. DONDE LA CORRIENTE DE GAS RESIDUAL PROVENIENTE DE LA COLUMNA DE DESTILACION SE COMPRIME A UNA PRESION INTERMEDIA MAYOR, SE ENFRIA BAJO PRESION PARA CONDENSARLA Y LUEGO SE EXPANDE A BAJA PRESION PARA FORMAR LA CORRIENTE DE GAS NATURAL LICUADO
