摘要:
The present invention provides a method of liquefying a contaminated hydrocarbon-containing gas stream: (a) providing a CO2 contaminated hydrocarbon-containing gas stream (20); (b) cooling the contaminated hydrocarbon-containing gas stream to obtain a partially liquefied stream (70); (c) separating the partially liquefied stream obtaining a liquid stream (90); (d) cooling the liquid stream (90) in a direct contact heat exchanger (200) obtaining a multiphase stream (201) containing at least a liquid phase and a solid CO2 phase; (e) separating the multiphase stream in a solid-liquid separator (202) obtaining a CO2 depleted liquid stream (141); (f) passing the CO2 depleted liquid stream (141) to a further cooling, pressure reduction and separation stage to generate a further CO2 enriched slurry stream (206); (g) passing at least part of the further CO2 enriched slurry stream (206) to the direct contact heat exchanger (200) to provide cooling duty to and mix with the liquid stream (90).

A method of constructing a plate fin heat exchanger includes joining a first side bar formed from a nickel-iron alloy to a first end of a fin element formed from a nickel-iron alloy through a first nickel-iron alloy bond, and joining a second side bar formed from a nickel-iron alloy to a second end of the fin element through a second nickel-iron alloy bond to create a first layer of the plate fin heat exchanger. The fin element defines a fluid passage.

摘要:
A process for producing a liquefied natural gas stream from an inlet gas feed stream, the process comprising the steps of: cooling at least a portion of the inlet gas feed stream by heat exchange contact with a first gas-phase refrigerant in a methane refrigeration cycle operated independently of a second gas-phase refrigerant in a nitrogen refrigeration cycle; the methane refrigeration cycle comprising the steps of: expanding a first gas-phase refrigerant comprising methane to form a cold methane vapour steam; cooling at least a portion of the inlet feed gas stream by heat exchange contact with the cold refrigerant vapour stream; compressing the cold methane vapour stream to form a compressed methane vapour stream; and cooling at least a portion of the compressed methane vapour stream by heat exchange contact with the cold methane vapour stream; and the nitrogen refrigeration cycle comprising the steps of:
expanding a second gas-phase refrigerant comprising nitrogen to a cold nitrogen vapour stream; cooling at least a portion of the inlet feed gas stream by heat exchange contact with the cold nitrogen vapour stream simultaneously as cooling at least a portion of the inlet feed gas stream by heat exchange contact with the cold methane vapour stream; compressing the cold nitrogen vapour stream to form a compressed nitrogen vapour stream; and cooling at least a portion of the compressed nitrogen vapour stream by heat exchange contact with the cold nitrogen vapour stream; whereby a liquefied natural gas stream is produced.
