Method for separating off nitrogen from natural gas

Abstract Method for separating off nitrogen from natural qas A method for resolving a hydrocarbon-rich, nitrogen-containing feed fraction (1, 1'), preferably natural gas, is described, wherein the feed fraction (1, 1') is separated by 5 rectification (T1, T2) into a nitrogen-enriched fract...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Method for separating off nitrogen from natural qas A method for resolving a hydrocarbon-rich, nitrogen-containing feed fraction (1, 1'), preferably natural gas, is described, wherein the feed fraction (1, 1') is separated by 5 rectification (T1, T2) into a nitrogen-enriched fraction (5) and a hydrocarbon-rich, nitrogen-depleted fraction (10), and wherein the separation by rectification proceeds in a rectification column consisting of a preseparation column (T1) and a main separation column (T2). 10 According to the invention a liquid fraction (6) is taken off from the main separation column (T2) above the feed-in site(s) of the fraction (7, 7', 7") that is taken off from the preseparation column (T1) and fed to the main separation column (T2), and said liquid fraction (6) is applied to the preseparation column (T1) as reflux.
