Abstract: This process comprises using unconventional processing of hydrocarbons, e.g. natural gas, for recovering C2+ and NGL hydrocarbons that meet pipeline specifications, without the core high capital cost requirement of a demethanizer column, which is central to and required by almost 100% of the world's current NGL recovery technologies. It can operate in Ethane Extraction or Ethane Rejection modes. The process uses only heat exchangers, compression and simple separation vessels to achieve specification ready NGL. The process utilizes cooling the natural gas, expansion cooling, separating the gas and liquid streams, recycling the cooled streams to exchange heat and recycling selective composition bearing streams to achieve selective extraction of hydrocarbons, in this instance being NGLs. The compactness and utility of this process makes it feasible in offshore applications as well as to implementation to retrofit/revamp or unload existing NGL facilities.

Abstract: A process for extracting heavier components, e.g., NGL from liquid/fluid streams such as Rich LNG (RLNG) stream(s) with the streamlined economy. The process involves heating the RLNG stream in heat exchanger(s) (LNGX) against column overhead vapour stream; not requiring separation of Feed streams into feed and reflux by splitting either pre- or post- of heat LNGX. The source liquid RLNG is processed producing liquid NGL and at same time returning purified Lean LNG (LLNG) product in its Liquid LNG form. The process operates essentially without the need for compression equipment. The process further provides without compressors vaporized natural gas at pipeline pressure and specifications. This is a system that can flexibly change product compositions and specifications of product NGL/Lean LNG/Pipeline Gas and operate in both Pipeline Specification deep 99% Ethane (C2) Extraction and Ethane (C2) Rejection NGL recovery modes with economy of equipment and energy requirements.
