  • Publication number: 20260193556
    Abstract: A method and a system for processing a natural gas stream are disclosed herein. In particular, the subject matter disclosed herein is directed to a method and a system for processing a partially condensed natural gas stream wherein the method and system do not comprise a separate heavy hydrocarbon condensate treatment section. The method and system comprise separating a condensate stream from a non-condensed light hydrocarbon vapor stream, increasing the energy of the condensate stream and/or the light hydrocarbon vapor stream and re-injecting the condensate stream into the light hydrocarbon vapor stream, so that the condensates can be subsequently treated together with the light hydrocarbons. Subsequent treatments include free water removal, the temperature of the natural gas stream downstream re-injection being controlled to remain above the natural gas stream dew point.
