A method and associated apparatus for removal of benzene, other aromatics and/or other heavier hydrocarbon components from a methane-based gas stream by condensation and stripping. It is desirable to remove benzene and other aromatics to prevent fouling and plugging of processing equipment and it is desirable to recover other heavier hydrocarbon components because of their value. Cooled feed stream (118) is fed to a column (60) and separated into methane-rich vapor stream (120) and benzene/aromatics/heavies liquid (114). The liquid (114) is sent to a heat exchanger (62) to recover refrigeration. Warm dry gas (108) is cooled in the heat exchanger (62) and delivered as stripping gas (109) to the column (60).

Technique et appareil associé pour l'extraction de benzène, d'autres aromatiques et/ou d'autres composants d'hydrocarbures lourds d'un courant gazeux à base de méthane, par condensation et stripage. Il est souhaitable d'extraire le benzène et d'autres aromatiques pour éviter d'encrasser et d'obstruer le matériel de traitement. Il est également souhaitable de récupérer les autres composants des hydrocarbures lourds en raison de leur valeur. Le courant d'alimentation refroidi (118) passe dans une colonne (60) et est séparé en courant de vapeur riche en méthane (120) et en liquide contenant du benzène, des aromatiques et des hydrocarbures lourds (114). Le liquide (114) passe ensuite dans un échangeur de chaleur (62) où il est refroidi. Le gaz sec et chaud (108) est refroidi dans l'échangeur de chaleur (62) et passe dans la colonne (60) sous forme de gaz de stripage (109).
