Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017009341A1] The process comprises the following steps: - mixing a gaseous stream of flash gas (48) and a gaseous stream of evaporation gas (52) in order to form a mixed gaseous flow (54); - compression of the mixed gaseous flow (54) in at least one compression apparatus (30) in order to form a compressed fuel gas flow (32); - withdrawal of a bypass flow (36) in the compressed fuel gas flow (32); - compression of the bypass flow (36) in at least one downstream compressor (34); - cooling and expansion of the compressed bypass flow (66); - reheating of at least one first stream (68; 70) derived from the expanded bypass flow (68) in at least one downstream heat exchanger (40); - reintroduction of the reheated first stream (68; 70) into the mixed gaseous flow (54) upstream of the compression apparatus (30).
