Abstract: A process and plant for the vaporization of liquefied natural gas includes obtaining electric energy during the vaporization operation by way of thermal exchange by transformation of an energy source for obtaining electric power.

Abstract: Process for the removal/reduction of the hydrogen sulfide contained in natural gas which comprises: a) feeding natural gas and water to a reaction vessel maintained under thermodynamic conditions favourable for the formation of H2S hydrates and substantially at the production pressure of natural gas; b) discharging the H2S hydrates, from the bottom of the reaction vessel; c) optionally melting the hydrates and re-injecting water and/or gas comprising hydrogen sulfide and/or the hydrates as such into the same production field or into a geologically equivalent structure; and d) optionally feeding the remaining natural gas to a conventional softening process.

Abstract: Process for the removal of nitrogen contained in natural gas, which comprises:

Abstract: Process for the removal of nitrogen contained in natural gas wherein are performed the steps of: a) absorbing the hydrocarbon component of natural gas by means of virgin naphtha in an absorption device, discharging the non-absorbed nitrogen; b) stripping the hydrocarbon component absorbed by the virgin naphtha; c) recycling the virgin naphtha recovered in the stripping, to step (a); d) feeding the natural gas thus treated to a distribution network.
