Abstract

L'invention concerne une installation de transformation du gaz pour la liquéfaction d'un flux d'alimentation en gaz naturel. L'installation comprend une unité de séparation du gaz avec au moins une cuve de fractionnement. L'unité de séparation de gaz utilise des lits adsorbants pour la séparation cinétique par adsorption. Les lits adsorbants dégagent un flux d'alimentation en gaz riche en méthane. L'installation comprend aussi un système de réfrigération à cycle de dilatation à haute pression. Le système de réfrigération comprime le flux d'alimentation en gaz riche en méthane à une pression supérieure à 1 000 psia. Le système de réfrigération refroidit aussi le flux d'alimentation en gaz riche en méthane dans un ou plusieurs refroidisseurs, puis dilate le gaz refroidi pour former un produit liquéfié. Des procédés de liquéfaction de gaz naturel employant la séparation cinétique par adsorption (AKS) et un système de réfrigération à cycle de dilatation à haute pression sont également proposés. De tels procédés permettent la formation de GNL (Gaz Naturel Liquéfié) en utilisant une installation moins lourde que des installations conventionnelles.
