Abstract: The present invention relates to the technology of processing byproduct gas or natural gas and in particular to a process for low-temperature separating gas components. The technical result targeted by the present invention resides in the improvement of the degree of purifying the outgoing gas.

Abstract: Proposed is a method for dehydrating a CO2 containing gas (1) by cooling the gas (1) and separating the condensed water from the gas (1), wherein the gas is contacted with liquid CO2 to condense water contained in the gas (1) and the condensate is separated from the remaining gas. Further, a device for dehydrating a CO2 containing gas is proposed, comprising a gas feeding system for feeding the gas which has to be dehydrated, wherein the device comprises a CO2 feeding system for feeding liquid CO2, a contacting device (C) for contacting the gas and the liquid CO2 for cooling the gas (1) to condense the water contained in the gas (1), and which comprises a first separator (4) for separating the condensate from the remaining gas.

Abstract: The invention relates to cryogenic engineering. The inventive device for liquefying and separating gas and for releasing one or more gases from a mixture thereof, comprises, in series axially positioned, a prechamber (1) with gas flow whirling means (2) arranged therein, a subsonic or supersonic nozzle (3) with a working segment (4), which is abutted thereto and to which liquid phase extracting means (5) is connected, and a subsonic diffuser (7) or the combination of a supersonic (6) and the subsonic diffuser (7). The length of the working segment (4) is selected according to a condition of forming condensate drops with a size greater than 0.5 mkm and of drifting them, by centrifugal forces, from the axial area of the working segment to the walls of the drop extracting means. The device is provided with an additional nozzle (8) arranged in the prechamber. The invention makes it possible to increase the separation efficiency.

The nozzle (3) is designed in such a way that it makes it possible to achieve the ratios, between the inlet and outlet cross-sectional areas and the minimum cross-section thereof, which provides, at the output of the nozzle, a statical pressure and a statical temperature corresponding to the conditions of condensation of gas or target gas mixture components. The length of the working segment (4) is selected according to a condition of forming condensate drops with a size greater than 0.

Abstract: An apparatus for liquefying a gas has a nozzle having a convergent nozzle portion and a nozzle throat, and a divergent nozzle portion (in the case of supersonic flow), and a working section. Vanes or another mechanism for creating a swirl velocity are connected to the nozzle, to create a strong swirl velocity in gas fed to the nozzle. In the nozzle, the gas adiabatically expands, gas velocity increases and gas temperature drops, to promote the condensation of gas with formation of droplets. The gas then passes through a working section having a wall, whereby further condensation of at least a portion of the gas flow occurs and droplets of condensed gas grow. Centrifugal effects generated by the swirl velocity drive the droplets towards the wall of the working section. Condensed liquid gas droplets are separated from remaining gas in the gaseous state at least adjacent the wall of the working section.
