System and method for liquefying production gas from a gas source
Abstract:
A system for liquefying production gas from a gas source containing a fluid having C1-C12 entrained gases includes a first phase separator for separating the C1-C12 gases from the fluid from the gas source. The first phase separator has an inlet in fluid communication with the gas source, a gas outlet and at least one alternative outlet. A first cryogenic liquefaction vessel has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the gas outlet of the first phase separator. The first cryogenic liquefaction vessel cools the C1-C12 gases to liquefy the C3-C12 petroleum gases. A second phase separator is provided for separating the C3-C12 liquefied gases from the C1-C2 gases. The second phase separator has an inlet, a liquid outlet and a gas outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet of the first cryogenic liquefaction vessel. At least one storage vessel is provided in fluid communication with the liquid outlet of the second phase separator for collection of the liquefied C3-C12 petroleum gases.
