Zusammenfassung:AN LNG FACILITY EMPLOYING AN ENHANCED NITROGEN REMOVAL SYSTEM THAT CONCENTRATES THE AMOUNT OF NITROGEN IN THE FEED STREAM TO A NITROGEN REMOVAL UNIT (NRU) TO THEREBY INCREASE THE SEPARATION EFFICIENCY OF THE NRU.IN ONE EMBODIMENT, THE NITROGEN REMOVAL SYSTEM COMPRISES A MULTISTAGE SEPARATION VESSEL OPERABLE TO SEPARATE NITROGEN FROM A COOLED NATURAL GAS STREAM.AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE RESULTING NITROGEN-CONTAINING STREAM EXITING THE MULTISTAGE SEPARATION VESSEL CAN BE USED AS A REFRIGERANT, PROCESSED TO A NITROGEN REMOVAL UNIT, AND/OR UTILIZED AS FUEL GAS FOR THE LNG FACILITY.
