Abstract
In the separation of low boiling gases such as ethane and heavier from natural gas utilizing two expanders in series, liquid condensed before expansion is not passed to the fractionator but is flashed and the resulting vapor combined with the expanded vapor from the first expander. This results in both increased work output from the second expander and simplified design of the downstream fractionator column since it reduces the amount of lighter materials introduced into the lower section thereof.
