Abstract:
The disclosure provides a method for separating components of a gas. A feed gas stream is cooled in a first vessel. The feed gas stream includes methane, water, carbon dioxide, and Natural Gas Liquids. The feed gas stream is cooled in a first vessel. A portion of the water condenses to form a primary liquid stream, resulting in a first depleted gas stream, which is cooled in a second vessel. A portion of the NGLs condense to form a secondary liquid stream, resulting in a second depleted gas stream, which is cooled in a condensing exchanger. A first portion of the methane condenses to form a liquid methane stream, resulting in a third depleted gas stream, which is cooled in a third vessel. A portion of the carbon dioxide condenses, desublimates, or condenses and desublimates as a final product stream, also resulting in a fourth depleted gas stream.
