Zusammenfassung:A process for liquefying and simultaneously purifying natural gas from acidic compounds is provided. The process involves pre-cooling a natural gas flow in a cryogenic exchanger, pre-treating the pre-cooled natural gas flow inside a pre-treatment unit and obtaining a purified flow, heat recovering and obtaining a higher temperature flow, compressing the higher temperature flow and obtaining a first compressed recirculation flow, cooling the first compressed recirculation flow and obtaining a compressed and cooled flow, and separating from the compressed and cooled flow a recirculation flow portion of natural gas. One or more cooling steps are carried out by a flow of nitrogen circulating inside a closed nitrogen refrigeration cycle.
