caliente, donde se enfra a -220 F a 720 psia por las corrientes S-104, S112 y S-114, y emerge como S-108.
this cooled the methane-rich stream is then sent to the nitrogen
rejection flash vessel.
this vessel isothermally flashes the incoming stream at 18 psi to remove
80.5% of the nitrogen from the methane-rich stream. the liquid product
of the flash( S.109) is the final liquefied natural gas product. it emerges
at -259F and 18 psi, and is sent to the storage tanks.
stream S-109 has a flow rate of 10.119 lbmol/hr, and consists of 98.5%
methane,1.0% nitrogen, and the balance C2+.
the overhead product from the flash (S-112) is rich in nitrogen and will
be used as fuel to power the fuel gas turbine. this stream has a flow
rate of 2.201 lbmol/hr and consists of 19.7% nitrogen, 80.2% methane
,and 0.1% C2+. stream S-112 emerges from the flash vessel at 259F and
18 psi . it is the sent to the main heat exchanger as a cold stream, as it
must be heated before it is compressed and fed to the turbine reaction
chamber. this stream (S-113) emerges from the main exchanger at 61.2F
and 18 psi. it then exits section 1 and proceeds to section 3 ( power
generation), which is showm in figure 6 on page 21.
stream S-114 is the cold nitrogen stream that provides the bulk of the
cooling power for the main heat exchanger. this stream enters the heat
exchanger at 222F and 30 psi, with a flow rate of 69.012 lbmol/hr of pure
nitrogen. it emerges at the other end of the exchanger as stream S115,with a temperature of 61.2F and a pressure of 130 psia. it then
proceeds to section 4( nitrogen cycle),where it will be recompressed,cooled,and expanded so thant it is again at 222F.
Stream S -116 is the re-compressed nitrogen stream that must be precooled before it can be expanded to provide the necessary cooling for
the main heat exchanger .It enters HX-101 at 90F and 995 psi, with a
flow rate of 69.012lbmol/hr. it is cooled by streams S-112 and S-114 to
-50F at 995 psi, when it emerges as stream S-117. stream S-117 then
proceeds from section 1 to section 4,where it will be expanded to
provide cooling power.
section 2-fractionation train
sction 2 of the process is the fractionation train . the main purpose of
this section is to further separate the heavy components(C2+) present in
the bottoms product of D-101, stream S-110, so they can be sold for
additional revenue. figure 5, on page 19 above, shows the process flow
diagram for this process section. additionally, table 2; on page 20 above,
provides detailed information on the streams introduced in figure5.
the liquid stream (S-110 from figure 4 or S-200 on figure 5) coming frem
the bottom of the scrub column( D-101) contains 0.8% methane,53.5%
ethane,22.9% propane,11.4% butanes,and 11.4% C5+, at 66.1F and
300psia. This stream is then throttled in a valve (V-201) to a
temperatura of 41.2F and a pressure of 200psi( S -201). decreasing the
