PROCESS FOR CONVERTING A METHANE-RICH VAPOR AT ONE PRESSURE TO METHANE-RICH VAPOR AT A HIGHER PRESSURE

摘要

A process is provided for converting a pressurized methane-rich vapor at a first pressure to a predetermined second pressure higher than the first pressure. A pressurized liquid rich in methane (3) is passed to an eductor (12) to provide the motive energy for driving the eductor (122). The methane-rich vapor (1) is passed to the eductor (12) and mixed with the liguid (3).
