Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020083915A1] The present disclosure relates to a process for separation of a liquid phase from a gas phase and a process for production of a hydrocarbon product employing such a separation as well as a fractionation section and a hydrocracker section for carrying out such processes. The separation process comprises the steps of a. directing a feed for separation to a feed inlet of a means of separation b. directing a stripping medium to a stripping medium inlet of said means of separation c. withdrawing a liquid product stream from a means of separation d. withdrawing a gaseous fraction comprising said stripping medium from said means of separation e. optionally cooling and separating said gaseous fraction in a light feed fraction and a stripping medium fraction f. directing said stripping medium fraction or said gaseous fraction as a re- cycled stripping medium 9- pressurizing at least an amount of said recycled stripping medium and directing it as said stripping medium of step b wherein said stripping medium comprises at least 80% vol/vol% or 90vol/vol% of gases from the group comprising N2, H2, He, Ar, Ne and CO2 with the associated benefit of a process with recycle of stripping medium allowing an increased volume of stripping medium, at little or no increase in cost.
