Abstract

THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR DEPLETING CARBON DIOXIDE CONTENT IN A NATURAL GAS FEEDSTREAM CONTAINING ETHANE AND C3+ HYDROCARBONS TO AN AMOUNT AT OR NEAR SALES GAS SPECIFICATION AND SEPARATING THE C3+ HYDROCARBONS THEREFROM. THE PROCESS INVOLVES COOLING THE NATURAL GAS FEED STREAM UNDER A FIRST SET OF TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONDITIONS ARRANGED TO PRODUCE A LIQUID STREAM OF CARBON DIOXIDE, ETHANE AND C3+ HYDROCARBONS AND A GAS STREAM HAVING A REDUCED CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATION. THE LIQUID STREAM IS SEPARATED FROM THE GAS STREAM, AND C3+ HYDROCARBONS MAY BE SEPARATED THEREFROM. THE GAS STREAM IS THEN COOLED UNDER A SECOND SET OF TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONDITIONS ARRANGED TO PRODUCE A SWEETENED NATURAL GAS STREAM AND A SECOND LIQUID CONTAINING LIQUID CARBON DIOXIDE AND/OR CARBON DIOXIDE SOLIDS. THE SWEETENED NATURAL GAS STREAM IS SEPARATED FROM THE SECOND LIQUID. THE PROCESS IS PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE FOR A NATURAL GAS FEEDSTREAM WITH A CARBON DIOXIDE CONTENT > 20% AND A COMBINED ETHANE AND C3+ CONTENT > 5%, AND IS ABLE TO REDUCE THE CARBON DIOXIDE CONTENT TO < 5%.
