11 and this liquid is separated from the gas in the Re?ux Accumulator 416, the liquid leaving the Re?ux Accu mulator 416 via a stream 459. The liquid in stream 459 is pumped by a Re?ux Pump 418 to the CO2-Splitter 412 via a stream 457. The uncondensed carbon dioxide, ethane, and methane-and-lighter gases of stream 415 exit the Re?ux Accumulator 416 via stream 417. 12 isvaporized.ThevaporisreturnedtotheNGL Tower 419 via a stream 434. The unvaporized liquid exits in stream 437 and issubsequently cooled by an Air Cooler 438 to a temperature of 120° F. or less. The cooled liquid from the Air Cooler 438 exits the system as the propane-and-heavier product via stream 439. Stream 433 is fed to the COZ/Light Ends Separator Tower 495 to separate the ethane, lighter components and part of the carbon dioxide vapor (15 to 20 volume to heat the process stream 492 prior to feeding it to an NGLTower419viaastream493whichexitsex changer 403 as discussed above, and to recover the refrigerant energy of stream 492 by chilling the feed stream 402.

The partially condensed ?uid from the Re?ux Condenser 441 isfed to a Re?ux Accumulator 443 via a stream 442. The vapor is separated from the liquid in the Re?ux Accumulator 443. The liquid re?ux ?ows from the Re?ux Accumula tor 443 via a stream 494 to a Re?ux Pump 445 and subsequently ispumped to the COg/Light Ends Separa tor Tower 495 via a stream 446. The vapor from the Re?ux Accumulator 443 exits in a stream 444. 4,861,360 The bottom stream 491 from CO2-Splitter 412 is heatedusingheatfromthecompressedmixtureofgasin astream430,inaCOz-SplitterReboiler490.Thepur 0 percent)fromthemajorpartorremainingcarbondiox pose of Reboiler 490 is to chill the compressed gas mix ture in stream 430 and recover the refrigerant energy from the process stream 491 which is at a temperature of 10° to 25° F.

The resulting liquid from ex changer 490, free of methane-and-lighter components present in stream 491 and containing some carbon diox ide, ethane, most of the propane and all of the butane and heavier hydrocarbons, exits the COZ-SpIitter Re boiler 490 via a stream 492.

The liquid re?ux ?ows from the Re?ux Chiller 453. Stream 452 ischilled in the Absorber Feed Chiller 453 to temperatures of l0° to -35° F. by pro pane or freon or other suitable refrigerant (not shown in detail).

The vapor from the Re?ux Accumulator 423 exits in the contents of stream 452 exits the Absorber Feed Chiller 453 in a feed stream 454. Stream 454 is fed to the bottom of the Methanol Absorber 496. The vapor and liquid are separated in the bottom of the Methanol Ab~ sorber 496. The uncondensed methane, carbon dioxide and ethane gas ?ow up the absorber countercurrent to the downcoming “lean” methanol ?owing down in Methanol Absorber 496. The “lean” methanol means methanol that has been essentially stripped free of eth a stream 424 and is combined with the vapor in stream 417 to form the feed stream 428 to the inlet of a Com pressor 429. The vapor from stream 428 is compressed to a pressure of 600 to 650 psia and subsequently ?ows via outlet stream 430 from Compressor 429 to the CO2 Splitter Reboiler 490 to provide heat to the Reboiler 490 and to recover the cryogenic energy in stream 430, lowering the vapor temperature from 50° F. to 25° F. 55 ane. carbon dioxide and other hydrocarbons.

The liquid bottoms exit the COZ/Light Ends Separa tor Tower 495 in stream 449 to a Reboiler 448.
