Hydrocarbon gas processing

摘要

The present invention provides improved recovery of C2 components, C3 components, and heavier hydrocarbon components or of C3 components and heavier hydrocarbon components per amount of utility consumption required to operate the process An improvement in utility consumption required for operating the process may appear in the form of reduced power requirements for compression or re-compression, reduced power requirements for external refrigeration, reduced energy requirements for supplemental heating, or a combination thereof.
