摘要:
The method provides liquefaction of a natural gas by carrying out the following stages: cooling the natural gas; feeding the cooled natural gas into a fractionating column so as to separate a methane-rich gas phase and a liquid phase rich in compounds heavier than ethane; and liquefying the methane-rich stream so as to obtain the liquid natural gas. According to the invention, the operating conditions in the fractionating column are so selected that said liquid phase comprises a molar proportion of methane ranging between 10% and 150% of the molar proportion of ethane.

The liquefaction method provides fractionation of the natural gas with ethane recycle in order to enhance propane recovery and to increase the critical pressure of the gas to be liquefied.The natural gas is partly liquefied by cooling in E1, then separated in fractionating column 2 into a methane-rich stream and a stream rich in hydrocarbons heavier than methane.The methane-rich stream is partly liquefied in 3, then the condensates separated in drum 4 are recycled to the top of column 2 through line 7. The gas fraction from drum 4 is liquefied in exchanger E2 to produce the liquefied natural gas.The stream rich in hydrocarbons heavier than methane is separated in the deethanizer into an ethane-enriched fraction and heavier hydrocarbons.According to the invention, the ethane-enriched fraction is at least partly liquefied, then part of the liquefied ethane is recycled to separating drum 4 or reflux line 7.

The device comprises at least one column 1 that is filled with a number of beds A.sub.n, whereby each bed A.sub.i is separated from the next bed A.sub.i+1 by a fluid distributor plate P.sub.i. Each plate is divided into a number of sectors P.sub.10, and P.sub.11, and each sector comprises at least two fluid distribution chambers CH.sub.i and CH.sub.j. Each chamber of the plate is connected to a transfer line LT.sub.i and LT.sub.j to the outside. Transfer line LT.sub.i, which is associated with chambers CH.sub.i of a distributor plate, is connected to transfer line LT.sub.j, which is associated with chambers CH.sub.j of the same plate, via a bypass line L.sub.i,j. The latter comprises means 14, 15, 16, and 17 for controlling and adjusting the flow rate of fluid that circulates there, such that each distribution chamber CH.sub.i is flushed by a fluid that is obtained from chamber CH.sub.j and that has approximately the same composition as that of the fluid that circulates through distributor plate P.sub.i at each of the chambers.

A fluid distributing-collecting process using a device for bringing fluids and solids into contact comprises several distributor plates and several panels for mixing, distributing or extracting fluids. The system for practicing the method includes at least one level one chamber in connection with the outside of said device with at least one hose and, at least one level two chamber that is linked with the level one chamber and that comprises one or more connecting hoses of a selected length that are arranged in at least one zone. The zone is identified relative to an angle &agr; relative to a radius of a plate and corresponds to a given angle sector, whereby hose lengths, angle &agr; and the angle sector are selected in accordance with the process so that injected fluid arrives approximately at the same time on all of the panels of the same plate. This process is used for separation of paraxylene in a simulated moving bed.

The device comprises at least one column 1 that is filled with a number of beds An, whereby each bed Ai is separated from the next bed Ai+1 by a fluid distributor plate Pi. Each plate is divided into a number of sectors P10, and P11, and each sector comprises at least two fluid distribution chambers CHi and CHj. Each chamber of the plate is connected to a transfer line LTi and LTj to the outside. Transfer line LTi, which is associated with chambers CHi of a distributor plate, is connected to transfer line LTj, which is associated with chambers CHj of the same plate, via a bypass line Li,j. The latter comprises means 14, 15, 16, and 17 for controlling and adjusting the flow rate of fluid that circulates there, such that each distribution chamber CHi is flushed by a fluid that is obtained from chamber CHj and that has approximately the same composition as that of the fluid that circulates through distributor plate Pi at each of the chambers.
