Abstract

Metodo y sistema para eliminar componentes de alto punto de congelacion del gas natural. El gas de alimentacion se enfria en un intercambiador de calor y se separa en una primera porcion de vapor y una primera porcion liquida. La primera porcion liquida se recalienta utilizando el intercambiador de calor y se separa en una corriente de componentes de alto punto de congelacion y una corriente de componentes no congelables. Una porcion de la corriente de los componentes no congelables puede ser al menos parcialmente licuado y recibido por una torre de absorcion. La primera porcion de vapor puede ser refrigerada y recibida por la torre de absorcion. Un producto de vapor de cabeza que esta sustancialmente exentos de componentes de alto punto de congelacion y una corriente liquida de productos de fondo que incluye componentes de congelacion y componentes no congelables se producen utilizando la torre de absorcion.
