Abstract

See full text

A process is disclosed herein for recovery of natural gas liquids from a feed gas stream, comprising forming a first portion of the feed gas stream and a second portion of the feed gas stream, wherein the mass ratio of the first portion to the second portion is in the range of 95:5 to 5:95, cooling the first portion in a heat exchanger and at least partially condensing the first portion, and feeding the second portion and the cooled and at least partially condensed first portion to a distillation column wherein lighter components are removed from the distillation column as an overhead vapor stream and heavier components are removed from the distillation column in the bottoms as a product stream, and wherein the second portion is fed into the distillation column at a point one or more vapor-liquid equilibrium stages below the first portion, thereby allowing mass transfer exchange between liquids of the cooled second portion and vapors of the second portion within the column. A corresponding apparatus is also disclosed.
