Abstract

1,016,049. Gas liquefaction process. LUMMUS CO. Aug. 6, 1964 [April 10, 1964], No. 32012/64. Heading F4P. Liquefaction of a gas, e.g. natural methane, is effected by compressing at 13 feed gas from a pressure of 40 atmospheres to at least 1À3 times its critical pressure, cooling by indirect heat exchange at 19, 20, 21 with an expanded refrigerant, e.g. liquid ethane and sequentially expanding the so-cooled feed gas at valves 29, 33, 37 into flash drums 30, 34, 38 from which latter drum liquid methane is withdrawn at atmospheric pressure and forced by a pump 41 into a tank 43. In operation the compressed feed gas is precooled in an ethane-cooled exchanger 18, freed of condensed liquid in a separator 23 and driers 26, 27 after which a major portion is cooled in exchangers 19, 20, 21 whilst the remainder is cooled in an exchanger 63 traversed by a portion of cold flash gas from drum 30 and the two portions are thereafter combined before expansion at valve 29. Flash vapour from drums 30, 34, 38 and vapour from tank 43 is fed to a compressor 46 which delivers into the feed line 12. The liquid ethane refrigerant stored in a vessel 76 is expanded into exchangers 18 . . . 21 arranged in parallel and the resulting ethane vapour is compressed and liquefied at 72 and returned through a cooler 74 and a line 75 to vessel 76.
