Abstract
A method to dry a gas stream that includes methane and condensable components that have a lower boiling point than methane by: combining the gas stream with a cold liquid stream in a gas mixer to produce a mixed stream that is colder than the gas stream and to condense a first portion of the condensable components; passing the mixed stream through a first separator to remove the condensed first portion and obtain a second gas stream; lowering a pressure and temperature of the second gas stream in an expansion device to obtain a third gas stream and condense a second portion of the condensable components; passing the third gas stream through a second separator to remove the condensed second portion and obtain a dried gas stream; and recirculating at least a portion of the condensed second portion into the in-line gas mixer as the cold liquid stream.
