Embodiment approach

[0055] as earlier figure 2 Referring to the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the first distillation vapor stream 45 is partially condensed and the resulting condensate is used to absorb valuable C 3 Components and Heavy Components. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, it may be advantageous to treat only a portion of these vapors in this manner, where other design considerations indicate that portions of these vapors or condensates should bypass rectification section 118c and / or absorption section 118d of process plant 118, Or use only part of the condensate as absorbent. Some circumstances may prefer to fully condense first distillation vapor stream 45 in condensation section 118b rather than partially condense. Some circumstances may prefer that the first distillation vapor stream 45 be the entire vapor side draw from stripping section 118e, rather than a portion of the vapor side draw. It should also be noted that, depen...

Abstract

A process and an apparatus are disclosed for a compact processing assembly to recover ethane, ethylene, and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon gas stream. The gas stream is cooled and divided into first and second streams. The first stream is further cooled, expanded to lower pressure, and supplied as a feed between two absorbing means. The second stream is expanded to lower pressure and supplied as a bottom feed to the lower absorbing means. A distillation liquid stream from the bottom of the lower absorbing means is heated in a heat and mass transfer means to strip out its volatile components. A distillation vapor stream from the top of the heat and mass transfer means is cooled by a distillation vapor stream from the top of the upper absorbing means, thereby forming a condensed stream that is supplied as a top feed to the upper absorbing means.
