Abstract

A method for separating one or more C2+ hydrocarbons from a mixed phase hydrocarbon stream such as partly vapourised liquefied natural gas, the method at least comprising the steps of : (a) supplying a mixed phase hydrocarbon feed stream (10) to a first gas/liquid separator (12); (b) separating the hydrocarbon feed stream (10) in the first gas/liquid separator (12) into a first gaseous stream (20) from a first outlet (23) and at least one C2+ liquid stream (30); (c) passing the first gaseous stream (20) through a compressor (14) to provide a compressed stream (60); and (d) cooling the compressed stream (60) in one or more heat exchangers (16) to provide an at least partly condensed hydrocarbon product stream (70); wherein a second gaseous stream (40) is added to a stream (20, 60, 70) downstream of the first outlet (23).
