installation and gas-to-liquid conversion process for natural gas treatment

摘要

and gas-to-liquid conversion process for natural gas treatment a gas-to-liquid conversion process (10) for natural gas treatment (5), in which natural gas is subjected Expansion through a flow limiter (16) in order to undergo joule thomson cooling allows liquids (21, 22) to be separated from the gas stream. The gas may be cooled before it reaches the flow limiter (16) by thermal exchange with the fluid that has passed through the flow limiter (16). This decreases the proportion of longer chain hydrocarbons in natural gas, which may simplify subsequent processing and may allow the size of the facility to be reduced.
