Abstract: A method and apparatus for liquefying a feed gas stream comprising natural gas and carbon dioxide. A method includes compressing an input fluid stream to generate a first intermediary fluid stream; cooling the first intermediary fluid stream with a first heat exchanger to generate a second intermediary fluid stream, wherein a temperature of the second intermediary fluid stream is higher than a carbon dioxide-freezing temperature for the second intermediary fluid stream; expanding the second intermediary fluid stream to generate a third intermediary fluid stream, wherein the third intermediary fluid stream comprises solid carbon dioxide; separating the third intermediary fluid stream into a fourth intermediary fluid stream and an output fluid stream, wherein the output fluid stream comprises a liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquid; and utilizing the fourth intermediary fluid stream as a cooling fluid stream for the first heat exchanger.

Abstract: Improved processes and systems for removing CO2 from exhaust gas to substantially prevent such greenhouse gas from being released to the atmosphere. The systems and processes use a) staged cooling of an exhaust gas stream, b) addition of an antifreeze, and c) a combination of non-scraped heat exchangers and scraped heat exchangers to separate CO2 from an exhaust stream while reducing or minimizing accumulation of ice on surfaces within the system.
