| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method and an installation for separating off C2- or C2+ hydrocarbons from a gas stream containing light hydrocarbons and optionally, lower-boiling components than methane. The gas stream, which is subjected to high pressure, is cooled, partially condensed and in a first separating stage, separated into a liquid fraction and a gaseous fraction. In a second separating stage, the liquid fraction is broken down by means of rectification into a product stream containing essentially C2- or C2+ hydrocarbons and a residual gas stream containing essentially lower-boiling components. The gaseous fraction obtained after the partial condensation in the first stage is separated by means of rectification into a liquid fraction and a gaseous fraction in a third stage. The liquid fraction is returned to the second separating stage as reflux. According to the invention, the last-named liquid fraction (6') is returned (7') to the first rectifying separating stage (T1) as reflux. |
