Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating a hydrocarbon stream, the method at least comprising the steps of: supplying a partly condensed feed stream (10). to a first gas/liquid separator (2) and into a gaseous stream (2 and a liquid stream (30); expanding the liquid stream (30) and the gaseous stream (20) and subsequently feeding them into a second gas/liquid separator (3) at a first and second feeding point (32) respectively, the second feeding point (32) being at a higher level than the first feeding point (31); feeding a liquefied natural gas stream (70,70b) into the second gas/liquid separator (3) at a third feeding point (33) being at a higher level than the second feeding point (32); removing from the top of the second gas/liquid separator (3) a C2+ lean gaseous stream (60) and from the bottom a liquid stream (80, 80a); wherein the liquefied ?natural gas stream (70,70b) is obtained from a source (4) of liquefied natural gas from a separate plant.

Abstract: In a method of treating a hydrocarbon stream, such as a natural gas stream, a partly condensed feed stream (10) is supplied to a first gas/liquid separator (2), where it is separated into a gaseous stream (20) and a liquid stream (30). The liquid stream (30) is expanded and fed (40) into a second gas/liquid separator (3), and the gaseous stream (20) is split into at least two sub-streams (50, 70). A first sub-stream (50) of the at least two sub-streams is expanded, thereby obtaining an at least partially condensed first sub-stream (60), and subsequently fed (60) into the second gas/liquid separator (3). A second sub-stream (70) of the at least two sub-streams is cooled against a cold stream (120), thereby obtaining an at least partially condensed second sub-stream (90, 90a), which is fed (90, 90a) into the second gas/liquid separator (3) from which a gaseous stream (130) and a liquid stream (100, 100a) are removed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the vaporization of a liquid hydrocarbon stream (110) such as LNG, the method at least comprising the steps of: (a) supplying a partly condensed hydrocarbon feed stream (10) to a first gas/liquid separator (2); (b) separating the hydrocarbon feed stream (10) in the first gas/liquid separator (2) into a gaseous stream (20) and a liquid stream (30); (c) expanding the liquid stream (30) and feeding it (40) into a second gas/liquid separator (3); (d) expanding the gaseous stream (20) and feeding it into the second gas/liquid separator (3); (e) removing from the second gas/liquid separator (3) a gaseous stream (60) and feeding it (70) into a third gas/liquid separator (4); (f) separating the stream (70) thereby obtaining a liquid stream (80) and a gaseous stream (90); (g) feeding the liquid stream (80) into the second gas/liquid separator (3); and (h) removing from the second gas/liquid separator (3) a liquid stream (100, 100a); wherein the gaseous stream (60) is parti

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating a natural gas feed stream, containing >10 mole % CO2, the method at least comprising the steps of separating the feed stream (10) in a first (2) or a second (3) gas/liquid separator, removing from the top of the second gas/liquid separator (3) a gaseous stream (60), partially condensing it by heat exchanging against a cold stream (120) and feeding it (70) into a third gas/liquid separator (4) thereby obtaining a liquid stream (80) and a gaseous stream (90) and feeding the liquid stream (80) having a temperature above the freezing point of CO2 at the prevailing conditions, into the second gas/liquid separator (3) removing from the bottom of the second gas/liquid separator (3) a liquid stream (100, 100a).
