  • Liquid natural gas processing
    Patent number: 7475566
    Abstract: A process for the recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL) from liquefied natural gas (LNG) is disclosed. The LNG feed stream is subjected to a two stage separation process where the bottoms from the first stage separation containing C2+ hydrocarbons is split into two portions, with one portion being heated and used as a reflux during the second stage separation to recover the NGL product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 25, 2005
    Date of Patent: January 13, 2009
    Assignee: Howe-Barker Engineers, Ltd.
    Inventors: Scott Schroeder, Kenneth Reddick, Noureddine Belhateche

  • Liquid natural gas processing
    Patent number: 6941771
    Abstract: A process for the recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL) (ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene and heavier hydrocarbons) from liquefied natural gas (LNG) is disclosed. The LNG feed stream is split with at least one portion used as an external reflux, without prior treatment, to improve the separation and recovery of the natural gas liquids (NGL).
