Abstract

REFERIDO A UN PROCESO PARA LA LICUEFACCION DE UNA CORRIENTE RICA EN HIDROCARBUROS CON LA EXTRACCION SIMULTANEA DE UNA FRACCION RICA EN C2, EN EL CUAL EL ENFRIAMIENTO Y LICUEFACCION DE LA FRACCION RICA EN HIDROCARBUROS TIENEN LUGAR EN UN INTERCAMBIO DE CALOR INDIRECTO CON EL REFRIGERANTE MIXTO DE UN CICLO DE REFRIGERANTE MIXTO EN EL CUAL EL REFRIGERANTE MIXTO ES COMPRIMIDO EN POR LO MENOS DOS ETAPAS, Y LA FRACCION RICA EN C2 ES EXTRAIDA EN UN NIVEL DE TEMPERATURA AJUSTABLE, EN EL CUAL EL REFRIGERANTE MIXTO ES SEPARADO EN UNA FRACCION GASEOSA Y UNA FRACCION LIQUIDA, AMBAS FRACCIONES SON SUBENFRIADAS, EXPANDIDAS ESENCIALMENTE A PRESION DE SUCCION DE LA PRIMERA ETAPA DEL COMPRESOR Y, AL MENOS EN PARTE, VAPORIZADAS. AL MENOS UNA SUBCORRIENTE DE LA FRACCION LICUADA ANTERIORMENTE GASEOSA DEL REFRIGERANTE MIXTO ES EXPANDIDA Y AGREGADA A LA FRACCION LQUIDA EXPANDIDA DEL REFRIGERANTE MIXTOREFERRED TO A PROCESS FOR THE LIQUEFACTION OF A CURRENT RICH IN HYDROCARBONS WITH THE SIMULTANEOUS EXTRACTION OF A FRACTION RICH IN C2, IN WHICH THE COOLING AND LIQUEFACTION OF THE RICH FRACTION IN HYDROCARBON TAKES PLACE OF A HEAT REFURBISHED INTERCHANGE A MIXED REFRIGERANT CYCLE IN WHICH THE MIXED REFRIGERANT IS COMPRESSED IN AT LEAST TWO STAGES, AND THE C2-RICH FRACTION IS EXTRACTED AT AN ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE LEVEL, IN WHICH THE MIXED REFRIGERANT IS SEPARATED IN A FRACTIONAL FRACTION. LIQUID, BOTH FRACTIONS ARE SUBCOOLED, ESSENTIALLY EXPANDED UNDER SUCTION PRESSURE OF THE COMPRESSOR FIRST STAGE AND, AT LEAST IN PART, VAPORIZED. AT LEAST A SUB-CURRENT OF THE PREVIOUSLY GASEOUS LIQUEFIED FRACTION OF THE MIXED REFRIGERANT IS EXPANDED AND ADDED TO THE EXPANDED LIQUID FRACTION OF THE MIXED REFRIGERANT
