An NGL recovery facility utilizing a single, closed-loop mixed refrigerant cycle for recovering a substantial portion of the Cand heavier or Cand heavier NGL components from the incoming gas stream. Less severe operating conditions, including a warmer refrigerant temperature and a lower feed gas pressure, contribute to a more economical and efficient NGL recovery system.

NGL recovery from natural gas using a mixed refrigerant

A new and distinct cultivar ofnamed 'Stitch in Time', characterized by its wide yellow colored leaf margins and its unique gathering and stitching where the yellow leaf margin tissue meets the dark green center tissue.

Hosta plant named 'Stitch in Time'

A process for separating a feed gas stream containing methane, C components, C components, and heavier components into a volatile gas stream containing a major portion of the methane and C components and a less volatile stream containing a major portion of the C and heavier components by adjusting the temperature and pressure of the feed gas stream and charging it to a separator/absorber where the gas stream is separated into a first gas stream containing a major portion of the methane and C components with a minor content of C and heavier components and a first liquid stream containing a major portion of the C and heavier components with a lesser concentration of C and lighter components with the first liquid stream being fractionated in a deethanizer into an overhead stream and a bottoms stream with the bottoms stream containing primarily C and heavier components with the overhead stream containing primarily C and lighter components being at least partially condensed and separated into a liquid reflux stream, a second liquid stream and a vaporous stream. The second liquid stream is passed to an upper portion of the separator/absorber for use therein to absorb C and heavier components from a gas stream in the separator/absorber.
