Abstract

See full text

A method and system of refining natural gas that improves the quality of liquefied natural gas and enables separation and recovery of hydrocarbons other than methane. The method of refining natural gas containing methane; any other hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, n-butane, isobutane, 1-butene, n-pentane, and isopentane; carbon dioxide; and hydrogen sulfide, includes adjusting a pressure and temperature of the natural gas so that the methane is in the gas phase, the other hydrocarbon in the liquid phase, and the carbon dioxide and the hydrogen sulfide in the solid phase, respectively; separating the natural gas, of which the pressure and temperature has been adjusted, into a gas containing the methane and a suspension liquid; and separating the separated suspension liquid into a liquid containing the other hydrocarbon and a solid containing the carbon dioxide and the hydrogen sulfide.
