Abstract

La invencion se refiere a un proceso y aparato integrado para licuefaccion de gas natural y recuperacion de liquidos de gas natural. En particular, el proceso y aparato mejorado reduce el consumo de energia de una unidad de gas natural licuado (GNL) mediante el uso de una porcion del vapor de cabeza ya enfriado de una columna de fraccionamiento de una unidad de LGN (licuefaccion de gas natural) para, de acuerdo a la composicion, proveer, por ejemplo, reflujo para fraccionamiento en la unidad de LGN y/o una carga de alimentacion fria para la unidad de GNL, o por enfriamiento, dentro de la unidad de LGN, un gas residual que deriva de una columna de fraccionamiento de la unidad de LGN y usar el gas residual enfriado resultante para, de acuerdo a la composicion, proveer, por ejemplo, una carga de alimentacion/reflujo en la unidad de LGN y/o una carga de alimentacion fria para la unidad de GNL, por medio de lo cual se reduce el consumo de energia de la unidad de GNL tomando al proceso mas eficaz desde el punto de vista energetico
