PROCESS FOR RECOVERING NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS FROM NATURAL GAS PRODUCED IN REMOTE LOCATIONS

Disclosed is a method to reduce the environmental impact of flaring a natural gas feedstream by removing and recovering some or all natural gas liquids (NGLs) (29) from the natural gas feedstream (3) prior to flaring (100). One embodiment of the present method provides for the use of a regenerable a...

Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a method to reduce the environmental impact of flaring a natural gas feedstream by removing and recovering some or all natural gas liquids (NGLs) (29) from the natural gas feedstream (3) prior to flaring (100). One embodiment of the present method provides for the use of a regenerable adsorbent media to remove the NGLs from the natural gas which can be regenerated by a microwave heating system. Said regeneration step may be operated as a batch process, a semi-continuous process, or a continuous process.
