Abstract: A process and an apparatus are disclosed for separation of a hydrocarbon gas stream containing methane and heavier hydrocarbons and significant quantities of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The gas stream is cooled and expanded, then fractionated in a first distillation column into a first overhead vapor and a hydrocarbon liquid stream containing the majority of the carbon dioxide. The hydrocarbon liquid stream is fractionated into a hydrocarbon vapor stream and a less volatile fraction comprised of heavier hydrocarbons. The first overhead vapor is cooled, expanded, and separated into vapor and liquid streams. Both streams are cooled and expanded before feeding a second distillation column that produces a second overhead vapor that is predominantly nitrogen and a bottom liquid that is predominantly methane. The bottom liquid is vaporized and combined with the hydrocarbon vapor stream to form a volatile residue gas fraction containing the majority of the methane.

Abstract: An improved nail polish bottle includes a receptacle having an inner volume configured to retain a nail polish substance. The receptacle having two openings with a pair of coupling members attached to the two openings. The pair of coupling members configured to couple two nail polish cap and brush assemblies. Each nail polish cap and brush assembly includes a different brush type. One is a standard brush for general nail polish use and the other is detailed brush for fine detailed work, such as nail art. The caps on the assemblies may include different shapes or designs so the user knows which cap corresponds to a specific brush. Both brush types share the same nail polish substance in the inner volume of the receptacle.
