LIQUID NATURAL GAS PROCESSING

摘要

A process for the recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL) from liquefied natural gas (LNG) is disclosed. The LNG feed stream (1) is subjected to a two stage separation process where the bottoms (11) from the first stage separation (S) containing C2+ hydrocarbons is split into two portions (14,15), with one portion (14) being heated (4) and used as a reflux (31) during the second stage separation (16) to recover the NGL product (19).
