Design and operation of new cryogenic gas-processing plants can be aided by shortcut calculations. These correlations estimate the composition of residue gas at demethanizer-top-temperature. They also predict minimum gas-process temperature when CO/sub 2/ is present. In the typical plant recovering ethane and heavier components from gas, product-recovery efficiency is established by the temperature and pressure in the top of the demethanizer. Recovery at a particular condition of top temperature and pressure in the demethanizer can best be determined by computer calculation. However, a reasonable estimate of conditions can be made with longhand calculations. The manner in which these calculations are made is illustrated and described.
