Abstract

1,105,374. Gas liquefication processes. LUMMUS CO. 16 Feb., 1966 [18 Feb., 1965], No. 6788/66. Addition to 1,016,049. Heading F4P. Liquefaction of a hydrocarbon gas, e.g. natural methane, is effected by compressing at 13<SP>1</SP> feed gas to a pressure between 40 atoms. and about 1À5 times its critical pressure, cooling by indirect heat exchange at 18<SP>1</SP>, 19<SP>1</SP> with an expanded refrigerant, e.g. propylene, liquefying by indirect heat exchange at 20<SP>1</SP>, 21<SP>1</SP> with a further expanded refrigerant, e.g. ethylene, expanding at a valve 96 into a drum 95, withdrawing condensate therefrom and sequentially, expanding at valves 29<SP>1</SP>, 33<SP>1</SP>, 37<SP>1</SP> into flash drums 30<SP>1</SP>, 34<SP>1</SP>, 38<SP>1</SP> withdrawing product liquefied gas from drum 38<SP>1</SP> at about atmospheric pressure and feeding it to a storage container 43<SP>1</SP>. Gaseous overheads withdrawn from drums 95, 30<SP>1</SP>, 34<SP>1</SP>, 38<SP>1</SP> are compressed at 461 and recycled to the outlet of compressor 13<SP>1</SP> at a point either up or downstream of heat exchanger 18<SP>1</SP>. A portion of gaseous overhead from drum 95 is withdrawn as fuel gas.
