摘要:
Nitrogen is removed from a natural gas feed stream by a cryogenic distillation process in which said feed stream is fed to a primary column of a distillation column system having a primary column and a secondary column fed from and operating at substantially the same pressure as the primary column. At least a portion of a primary column methane-rich bottoms liquid is expanded and at least partially vaporized in heat exchange with a condensing primary column nitrogen-enriched vapor. The at least partially condensed primary column nitrogen-enriched vapor is returned to the primary column to provide higher temperature reflux to the distillation column system. A secondary column methane-rich bottoms liquid is at least partially vaporized in heat exchange with a condensing nitrogen-rich overhead vapor to produce a further methane-rich product. At least a portion of the at least partially condensed nitrogen-rich overhead vapor portion is returned to the primary or secondary column to provide lower temperature reflux to the distillation column system.
摘要:
An image analysis method to quantify visual showthrough of printed images on the reverse face of planar objects, such as paper. An illumination level is set using a white reference object. A white reference image is stored in a computer memory. An image of a planar object having a printed image on the reverse face is stored in a computer memory. A pixel by pixel ratio of the two images is calculated and a mean value of the ratios is calculated to characterize the visual showthrough. The measurements are substantially independent of both the illumination level and image shading.

A process for cooling, phase separating, rectifying and stripping a hydrocarbon containing feed gas stream to recover a heavy hydrocarbon product wherein a predominant amount of the refrigeration for the process is provided from a single loop vapor recompression refrigerator employing a mixed refrigerant.
