Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004085024A2] The invention relates to a method of improving the efficiency of recovering fuel vapours present in a gas mixture (2). The inventive method comprises a step involving the liquefaction of the fuel vapours using a condenser (5), in order to recover the fuel condensates. According to the invention, during the aforementioned liquefaction step, the method also consists in: ensuring that the fuel condensates are separated from the residual vapours at the outlet of the condenser (5), and returning the residual vapours upstream of the condenser (5) for another liquefaction step.
