Abstract

Une composition d'hydrocarbure cryogénique, obtenue par l'exposition d'un flux d'hydrocarbure liquéfié brut à une étape de réduction de pression, est d'abord séparée en un flux de rejet sous forme de vapeur et en un flux liquide. Le flux liquide est évacué sous la forme du flux d'hydrocarbure liquéfié. Le flux de rejet sous forme de vapeur est recomprimé, divisé en des premier et deuxième flux partiels de vapeur comprimée. Chaque flux partiel est soumis indirectement à un échange thermique, moyennant quoi le premier flux partiel de vapeur comprimée est soumis indirectement à un échange thermique avec le premier flux de réfrigérant auxiliaire et le deuxième flux partiel de vapeur comprimée avec le deuxième flux de réfrigérant auxiliaire. Le deuxième flux de réfrigérant auxiliaire est formé à partir de la fraction condensée, qui est ainsi revaporisée et ensuite brûlée dans une turbine à gaz. La fraction de vapeur, qui présente généralement une teneur en azote plus élevée et un pouvoircalorifique inférieur à celui de la fraction condensée, est brûlée dans un dispositif de combustion autre qu'une turbine à gaz.
