Abstract:
A system and method converts first carbon chain condensable fractions of wet natural gas, the first carbon chain fractions having first carbon chains, into liquefiable highly-branched hydrocarbons by cavitating first carbon chain condensable fractions of wet natural gas with natural gas; irradiating the natural gas cavitated condensable fractions of wet natural gas with an electron beam to create second carbon chain fractions; mixing the second carbon chain fractions with natural gas enriched with alkynes and alkenes to a create enriched natural gas and second carbon chain fractions mixture; irradiating the enriched natural gas and second carbon chain fractions mixture with an electron beam to create an irradiated gas mixture; cooling the irradiated gas mixture; and removing liquefied highly-branched hydrocarbons.
