摘要： A system and methods for processing a feed gas in a column are provided herein. A method includes feeding a feed gas into a port of a sleeve disposed around at least a portion of a periphery of the column. The sleeve includes a space between an outer wall of the column and an inner wall of the column. The sleeve releases the feed gas into the column through an opening disposed at an opposite end of the sleeve from the port.

摘要： In a process for the separation of a gas rich in carbon dioxide and containing at least one component lighter than carbon dioxide, the feed gas rich in carbon dioxide is cooled in a first heat exchanger, partially condensed and separated to form a gaseous portion and a liquid, sending the liquid portion to the top of a distillation column, removing a liquid stream richer in carbon dioxide than the feed gas from the bottom of the distillation column, removing a gaseous stream less rich in carbon dioxide than the feed gas from the top of the distillation column and warming the gaseous stream in the first heat exchanger, sending the gaseous portion to a shell and tube heat exchanger having tubes in a bath of triple point carbon dioxide, in which it condenses at least partially to form a liquid fraction, sending the liquid fraction to the top of the distillation column, vaporizing a liquid stream from the bottom of the distillation column outside or within the distillation column to form a gas which is subsequently separated in the distillation column, expanding a liquid stream from the bottom of the distillation column, vaporizing at least part of the expanded liquid stream in the shell and tube heat exchanger to form a vapor and warming the vapor formed in the first heat exchanger.

摘要： A method and system for separating fluids in a distillation tower. The method may include feeding a stream to the distillation tower, wherein the stream includes carbon dioxide, reducing a carbon dioxide concentration of the stream received by the rectifier section by feeding a first cryogenic fluid to the controlled freeze zone section and accumulating rectifier section stream in at least one of a holding vessel and a sump of the rectifier section, and terminating reducing the carbon dioxide concentration when the carbon dioxide concentration of the stream travelling from the controlled freeze zone section to the rectifier section is less than or equal to a maximum carbon dioxide concentration. The first cryogenic fluid may comprise a substantially carbon-dioxide-free fluid.

摘要： A system and method for an intermediate pressure vessel to receive a purge in a cryogenic distillation column system. The vessel operates at an intermediate pressure to reduce solidification of the purge. The cryogenic distillation column receives a natural gas having methane and acid gas. The column discharges an overhead stream rich in the methane, and a bottoms stream rich in the acid gas. An overhead system receives the overhead stream, and discharges a vapor methane product, and a cooled liquid for reflux to the cryogenic distillation column.

摘要： The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for the operation of a distillation tower containing a controlled freezing zone and at least one distillation section. The process and tower design are utilized for the additional recovery of hydrocarbons from an acid gas. In this process, a separation process is utilized in which a multi-component feedstream is introduced into an apparatus that operates under solids forming conditions for at least one of the feedstream components. The freezable component, although typically CO2, H2S, or another acid gas, can be any component that has the potential for forming solids in the separation system. A dividing wall is added to at least a portion of the lower distillation section of the apparatus to effect the separation of at least some fraction of the hydrocarbons in that portion of the tower.
