A lot of gas fields in Indonesia has high content of sour gas. New improved cryogenic distillation process of natural gas applying the concept of CO2 freezing in the middle of the column is promising. To study the feasibility of this technology, comparison with other two methods (Absorption and Membrane process) in technical and economic aspects were elaborated. Process simulation of improved cryogenic distillation steady-state model was developed using Aspen HYSYS. CAPEX of all methods were estimated using Aspen Process Economic Analyzer. Compared to the other methods, this improved cryogenic distillation process showed tendency to have lower CAPEX and OPEX, but have some uncovered operational problems.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cryogenic distillations,Economic aspects,Membrane process,Operational problems,Process economics,Process simulations,Steady-state modeling,Sweetening process[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/543/1/012077[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
