Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for separating a mixed ethane and CO. A method described includes generating a liquid stream including ethane and CO. The liquid stream is flashed to form an ethane vapor stream and solid CO. The solid COis accumulated in an accumulation vessel and the gas is removed from the top of the accumulation vessel.
