Summary: | A system and a process for processing a natural gas liquid feed is provided. In the system, a dense fluid expander is positioned downstream from a subcooler heat exchanger. The subcooler heat exchanger cools one or more reflux streams against an overhead vapor stream and a distillation column positioned downstream from the dense fluid expander. An increase in recovery of natural gas liquids is provided through the use of this system having at least one dense fluid expander. |
