Abstract

Process for separating components of a gas mixture to be treated, comprising methane, nitrogen and at least one hydrocarbon having at least two carbon atoms, or a mixture of these hydrocarbons, comprising the following steps: a) introducing the gas mixture to be treated into a first distillation column in order to create, at the bottom of the column, a first liquid stream enriched in hydrocarbon having at least two carbon atoms and, at the top of the column, a first methane-enriched gas stream; b) introducing said first liquid stream enriched in hydrocarbon having at least two carbon atoms derived from step a) into a second distillation column in order to create, at the top of this column, a second methane-enriched gas stream and, at the bottom of this column, a second liquid stream comprising at least 85 mol% of the hydrocarbons having at least two carbon atoms initially present in the mixture to be treated; characterized in that the nitrogen content of said second gas stream is at le
