Abstract
1. Объединенный способ производства природного газоконденсата (ПГК) и сжиженного природного газа (СПГ) из подачи природного газа из метана с примесью этана и более тяжелого углеводорода(ов), включающий стадии: ! вводят подачу в колонну-скруббер в первом местоположении; ! отводят из колонны-скруббера первый поток пара верхнего погона, обедненный компонентами более тяжелыми чем метан, и поток отстоя, обогащенный компонентами более тяжелыми чем метан; ! охлаждают и частично конденсируют первый поток пара верхнего погона, чтобы образовать первый двухфазный поток; ! разделяют первый двухфазный поток, чтобы обеспечить второй поток пара верхнего погона и богатый метаном первый поток орошения; ! вводят обогащений метаном первый поток орошения во второе местоположение в колонну-скруббер выше первого местоположения; ! сжижают второй поток пара верхнего погона в основном теплообменнике, чтобы обеспечить продукт СПГ; ! разделяют поток отстоя, чтобы обеспечить обогащенный этаном поток и поток продукта ПГК, обогащенный компонентами более тяжелыми чем этан; и ! полностью конденсируют обогащенный этаном поток при температуре ниже температуры подачи в колонну-скруббер в основном теплообменнике и ! нагнетают сконденсированный поток в колонну-скруббер в качестве второго потока орашения в местоположении, выбранном из второго местоположения и третьего местоположения выше первого местоположения. ! 2. Способ по п.1, в котором хладагент для основного теплообменника представляет собой рециркулирующий смешанный холодильный агент. ! 3. Способ по п.1 или 2, в котором богатый метаном первый поток орошения составляет, по меньшей мере, при�1. The combined method for the production of natural gas condensate (PGA) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the supply of natural gas from methane mixed with ethane and heavier hydrocarbon (s), comprising the steps of:! feed is introduced into the scrubber column at a first location; ! diverting from the scrubber column a first overhead vapor stream depleted in components heavier than methane and a sludge stream enriched in components heavier than methane; ! cooling and partially condensing the first overhead steam stream to form a first two-phase stream; ! separating the first two-phase stream to provide a second overhead steam stream and a methane-rich first irrigation stream; ! methane enrichments are introduced, the first irrigation stream at a second location in a scrubber column above the first location; ! liquefying a second overhead vapor stream in the main heat exchanger to provide an LNG product; ! separating the sludge stream to provide an ethane-enriched stream and an PGC product stream enriched in components heavier than ethane; and! the ethane-enriched stream is completely condensed at a temperature below the supply temperature to the scrubber column in the main heat exchanger and! pumping the condensed stream into the scrub column as a second spray stream at a location selected from a second location and a third location above the first location. ! 2. The method according to claim 1, in which the refrigerant for the main heat exchanger is a recirculating mixed refrigerant. ! 3. The method according to claim 1 or 2, in which the methane-rich first irrigation stream is at least
