METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PARTIALLY SOLIDIFYING A METHANE COMPRISING STREAM

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 sec...

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. L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour solidifier partiellement un flux comprenant du méthane. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à fournir un flux (30) comprenant du méthane liquide sous une première pression (P1), faire passer le flux (30) comprenant du méthane liquide vers un récipient de gélification (300) qui est maintenu à une seconde pression (P2), la seconde pression (P2) étant inférieure à la première pression (P1), ce qui permet de refroidir et solidifier au moins partiellement le flux (30) comprenant du méthane, en générant un gel comprenant du méthane, et collecter le gel comprenant du méthane.
