摘要:
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is heated in a plant by a heat source and the heated LNG is expanded to produce work. In particularly preferred plants, the heat source is a combined cycle power plant, and the work is used to recompress pipeline gas produced from the heated LNG. Additionally, the refrigeration content in LNG may be utilized to increase the power generation capacity and efficiency of a combined cycle power plant.
摘要:
An NGL recovery plant includes a demethanizer (7) in which internally generated and subcooled lean oil absorbs CO2 and C2 from a gas stream (11), thereby preventing build-up and freezing problems associated with CO2, especially where the feed gas has a CO2 treatment at ethane recoveries above 90% and propane recoveries of at least 99%.

摘要:
A plant includes an absorber (105) that receives a feed gas (10) at a pressure of at least 400 psig and comprising at least 5 mol% carbon dioxide, wherein the absorber (105) is operated at an isothermal or decreasing top -to-bottom thermal gradient, and wherein the absorber (105) employs a physical solvent to at least partially remove an acid gas from the feed gas (10). Such configuration advantageously provide cooling (108) by expansion of the rich solvent (21) generated in the absorber (105), wherein both a semi-rich solvent (13) generated and recycled to the absorber (105) and the feed gas (10) are cooled by expansion of the rich solvent (21).
