Classification: CPC C  F  B | IPC B  F

Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
introduce an unstabilized hydrocarbon condensate stream to the condensate stabilizer, the unstabilized hydrocarbon condensate stream comprising light hydrocarbons, heavy hydrocarbons, water, or a combination thereof;
partially evaporating the unstabilized hydrocarbon condensate stream;
passing from a bottom end of the condensate stabilizer a liquid phase comprising stabilized hydrocarbon condensate,
passing from a top end of the condensate stabilizer an overhead vapor phase comprising the mixed hydrocarbon/water vapor;
passing from above a chimney tray of the condensate stabilizer the condensate hydrocarbon stream;
introducing the condensate hydrocarbon stream to the one or more condensate thermosyphon reboilers;
introducing the hot oil stream to each of the plurality of condensate thermosyphon reboilers, wherein the hot oil stream is introduced into the tube-side of the plurality of condensate thermosyphon reboilers and the condensate hydrocarbon stream is introduced into the shell-side of the plurality of condensate thermosyphon reboilers;
partially evaporating the condensate hydrocarbon stream in the plurality of condensate thermosyphon reboilers, producing a first vapor phase and a solid phase; and
recycling the first vapor phase to the condensate stabilizer;
where the solid phase is deposited on a surface of one or more tubes in the shell-side of the one or more condensate thermosyphon reboilers.
