A method of separating off an N2-rich fraction from a liquefied hydrocarbon-rich fraction is described, in particular from liquefied natural gas, wherein the liquefied hydrocarbon-rich fraction, after its liquefaction and subcooling, is fed to a stripping column which serves for separating off the N2-rich fraction.According to the invention, a first substream of the liquefied hydrocarbon-rich fraction (2, 2′) is applied to the stripping column (S) as reflux, whereas a second substream of the liquefied hydrocarbon-rich fraction (3, 3′) is fed to the bottom of the stripping column (S), wherein the second substream of the liquefied hydrocarbon-rich fraction (3, 3′) has a higher temperature than the first substream of the liquefied hydrocarbon-rich fraction (2, 2′).

A process and apparatus for separating a fraction rich in C2+ from liquefied natural gas (LNG) is disclosed. In an embodiment, partial evaporation of the liquefied natural gas occurs in a heat exchanger. The partially evaporated natural gas is separated into a first gas fraction rich in C1 and a first liquid fraction rich in C2+. In a separation column, rectification separation of the first liquid fraction rich in C2+ into a second gas fraction rich in C1 and a second liquid fraction rich in C2+ occurs. The first gas fraction rich in C1 is re-liquefied in the heat exchanger. At least one sub-stream of the re-liquefied gas fraction rich in C1 is fed as a reflux to the rectification separation.

An oxidation-catalytic separation device for removing oil and volatile organic components from pressurized gases of a compression system has, proceeding from the inflow side of a tank which contains an oxidation catalyst, at least two chambers with different diameters and/or lengths. In this way, the chambers can also be matched to the desired main functions with respect to geometrical conditions, especially a first chamber with a smaller diameter being intended for aerosol separation, and a second chamber of greater diameter being intended for residual vapor catalysis. Even for variably operated compression systems, the pressurized gases can be reliably purified using this oxidation-catalytic separation device such that the required and desired degree of purity of a high-quality pressurized gas is obtained.
摘要:
A process for separating higher hydrocarbons from a gas mixture containing the latter and lower-boiling components by rectificatory decomposition is described. The feed gas mixture (6) is partially condensed (7) and fed to a separation column (9). A bottom fraction (27), rich in higher hydrocarbons, is removed from the bottom of the separation column (9), and a top fraction (10), rich in lower-boiling components, is removed from the top of the separation column. The top fraction (10) is partially condensed (11) and the resultant condensate is used as reflux for the separation column (9).Both the partial condensation of the feed gas mixture and the partial condensation of the top fraction are produced by indirect heat exchange (7, 11) with a refrigerant, which consists of several components and is conveyed in an external circuit (18).
摘要:
A compressor unit that has a compressor component and a condensate filter that is used to precipitate water and oil condensed from a compressed gas stream. For the environmentally friendly disposal of the condensate, a filter device containing a filter material is arranged so that a warm air stream entering the filter device after passing through the condensate filter condenses the water in the filtrate stream. The condensate is soaked up in the filter device by the filter material and, with the help of the air stream, which can be the warmed outgoing air of a cooling device of the compressor component, the water contained in the condensate is evaporated, while the oil-containing components of the condensate are adsorbed in the filter material for subsequent disposal. The filter material is preferably placed in the filter device in the form of filter elements arranged preferably in several rows behind one another at predetermined distances in the direction in which air flows through. The filter element can be designed as an osmotic filter cloth which is formed as tubes or it can be made of spiral-shaped, wound sheets of such filter material. Suitably, the filter device with the filter material contained in it is designed as a replaceable, disposable device, for example in the form of a module.
摘要:
In a process for the separation of hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon mixture which optionally contains components boiling lower than methane, the crude gas stream is partially condensed and separated into a gaseous fraction and a liquid fraction. The liquid fraction is introduced into a rectification column wherein further separation is performed. The residual gas obtained at the head of the rectification column is partially condensed and introduced into a scrubbing column wherein the condensed portion of the residual gas is used as a scrubbing medium to scrub out low-boiling components from the separated, gaseous fraction. For covering the refrigeration requirement of this process, a portion of the residual gas from the rectification column, prior to being fed into the scrubbing column, is branched off and expanded for production of refrigeration. After heat exchange with process streams to be cooled, this portion of the residual gas stream is readmixed to the residual gas stream of the rectification column.
摘要:
A process for the separation of C.sub.2+ hydrocarbons from natural gas under pressure wherein the natural gas is cooled (2, 6), partially condensed, and separated (9) into a liquid fraction and a gaseous fraction. The liquid fraction (10) is subcooled (11) and then expanded into the upper zone of a rectifying column (7). The gaseous fraction (23), after engine expansion (25), is also introduced into the rectifying column (7). During rectification, a product stream (37) containing essentially C.sub.2+ hydrocarbons and a residual gas stream (22) containing predominantly lower-boiling components are obtained. The residual gas stream (22) is initially heated by heat exchange (11) with the liquid fraction (10) and then heated by heat exchange (21) with the gaseous fraction obtained after partial condensation. The residual gas stream is then further heated (6, 2) by heat exchange with the feed stream of natural gas to be partially condensed. The heated residual gas is then engine expanded (28) and reheated again by heat exchange with the feed stream of natural gas to be partially condensed (2).
