Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method and apparatus for partially solidifying a methane comprising stream. The method comprises - providing a liquid methane comprising stream (30) at a first pressure (P1), - passing the liquid methane comprising stream (30) to a slush vessel (300) which is kept at a second pressure (P2), the second pressure (P2) being lower than the first pressure (P1), thereby cooling and at least partially solidifying the methane comprising stream (30) generating a methane comprising slush, and - collecting the methane comprising slush.
