Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems for processing natural gas to meet gas pipeline specifications and/or recovering natural gas liquids (NGL). The natural gas is cooled and distilled such that propane and heavier components are produced as a bottoms NGL product, and inerts, methane, ethane, and other lighter portions are produced as a fuel gas grade/quality residue gas product stream. The gas can optionally be treated to remove hydrogen-sulfide and/or carbon dioxide. The NGL product can be split into a marketable propane and butane liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) liquid product and a natural gas condensate product.
