Process for the production of natural gas condensate having a reduced amount of mercury from a mercury-containing natural gas wellstream

摘要

A process for producing a natural gas condensate having a reduced amount of mercury from a mercury-containing natural gas wellstream, wherein the wellstream is separated into gaseous and liquid fractions. A portion of the gaseous fraction is mixed with the liquid fraction, the mixture is then separated into a stream comprising a natural gas condensate and at least one other stream comprising lower hydrocarbons and/or other gases. The natural gas condensate stream is then filtered.
