    摘要: Processing of a feed gas stream containing methane and natural gas liquids may comprise: cooling a first portion of the feed gas stream to obtain a cooled first portion; introducing the cooled first portion into a liquid-vapor separator to obtain a vapor stream and a liquid stream; splitting the vapor stream into a first portion and a second portion; sub-cooling the second portion of the vapor stream to obtain a liquefied vapor stream; introducing the liquefied vapor stream into a demethanizer column; introducing the first portion of the vapor stream to at least one of an expansion valve or a turboexpander; obtaining an expanded vapor stream from the expansion valve or an expansion side of the turboexpander; introducing the expanded vapor stream and at least a first portion of the liquid stream into the demethanizer column; and obtaining from the demethanizer column a bottoms stream rich in natural gas liquids.

    摘要: A system and method for the concurrent condensation of a nitrogen-rich vapor and vaporization of an oxygen-rich liquid in a distillation column based air separation unit is provided. The disclosed system includes a condenser-reboiler heat exchanger located between a lower pressure column and a higher pressure column and configured to condense a nitrogen-rich vapor from the higher pressure column and partially vaporize an oxygen-rich liquid from the lower pressure column. Within the condenser-reboiler heat exchanger, the nitrogen-rich vapor flows in an upward direction such that any non-condensables present in the nitrogen-rich vapor will accumulate proximate the upper portion or top of the condenser-reboiler modules where they can be easily removed through venting.
