Abstract

A refrigeration system for use in petrochemical plants, such as an ethylene production plant includes a refrigerant vent rectifier. The rectifier purifies the refrigerant by removing low molecular weight inerts. The refrigeration system is more efficient, consumes less energy and increases plant capacity.
