Abstract

REFERIDO A UN PROCESO Y APARATO PARA UN CONJUNTO DE PROCESAMIENTO COMPACTO PARA RECUPERAR LOS COMPONENTES C2 (O LOS COMPONENTES C3) Y COMPONENTES DE HIDROCARBUROS MAS PESADOS DE UNA CORRIENTE DE GAS DE HIDROCARBUROS. LA CORRIENTE DE GAS SE ENFRIA Y SE DIVIDE EN UNA PRIMERA Y UNA SEGUNDA CORIENTE. LA PRIMERA CORRIENTE SE ENFRIA EN MAYOR MEDIDA PARA CONDENSARLA SUSTANCIALMENTE POR COMPLETO, LUEGO SE EXPANDE A UNA PORCION MENOR Y SE LA SUMINISTRA COMO ALIMENTACION SUPERIOR EN UN MEDIO ABSORBENTE. LA SEGUNDA CORRIENTE TAMBIEN SE EXPANDE A UNA PRESION MENOR Y SE LE SUMINISTRA POR EL FONDO DEL MEDIO ABSORBENTE. SE CALIENTA UNA CORRIENTE DE VAPOR DE DESTILACION MEDIANTE ENFRIAMIENTO DE LA CORRIENTE DE GAS Y LA PRIMERA CORRIENTE. UNA CORRIENTE DE LIQUIDO DE DESTILACION DEL MEDIO ABSORBENTE SE SUMINISTRA A UN MEDIO DE TRANSFERENCIA DE CALOR Y DE MASA PARA CALENTARLA Y SEPARAR SUS COMPONENTES VOLATILES MIENTRAS SE ENFRIA LA CORRIENTE DE GAS. EL MEDIO DE ABSORCION Y EL MEDIO PARA LA TRANSFERENCIA DE CALOR Y MASA ESTAN ALOJADOS EN EL CONJUNTO DE PROCESAMIENTOREFERRED TO A PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR A COMPACT PROCESSING ASSEMBLY TO RECOVER THE C2 COMPONENTS (OR THE C3 COMPONENTS) AND HIGHER HYDROCARBON COMPONENTS OF A HYDROCARBON GAS STREAM. THE GAS CURRENT COOLS AND DIVIDES INTO A FIRST AND A SECOND CURRENT. THE FIRST CURRENT IS COOLED TO A GREATER EXTENT TO COMPLETELY SUBSTANTIALLY CONDENSING IT, THEN IS EXPANDED TO A SMALLER PORTION AND IS SUPPLIED AS A SUPERIOR FEED IN AN ABSORBING MEDIA. THE SECOND CURRENT IS ALSO EXPANDED AT A LOWER PRESSURE AND IS SUPPLIED TO YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE ABSORBING MEDIUM. A DISTILLATION VAPOR STREAM IS HEATED BY COOLING THE GAS STREAM AND THE FIRST STREAM. A STREAM OF LIQUID DISTILLATION FROM THE ABSORBING MEDIA IS SUPPLIED TO A HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER MEDIA TO HEAT IT AND SEPARATE ITS VOLATILE COMPONENTS WHILE THE GAS STREAM COOLS. THE ABSORPTION MEDIA AND THE MEDIA FOR THE TRANSFER OF HEAT AND MASS ARE HOUSED IN THE PROCESSING ASSEMBLY
