Abstract

En el presente, se describe un proceso para remover hidrocarburos de alto punto de congelacion, incluidos compuestos de benzeno, de una corriente de gas de alimentacion mixta. El proceso involucra enfriar corrientes del proceso en uno o mas intercambiadores de calor y separar compuestos condensados en multiples separadores para formar una corriente de gas de producto rico en metano. Se emplean corrientes de solvente selectas de un tren de fraccionamiento y /o corrientes de solvente separadas para bajar el punto de congelacion de una o mas corrientes que contienen hidrocarburos de alto punto de congelacion. Tambien se divulga un sistema correspondiente.
