Abstract:
A method for conditioning natural gas into fuel gas, where the method includes the step of: delivering a natural gas stream including both CO 2  and C2+ hydrocarbons to a membrane separation assembly; and separating the natural gas stream into the following streams: (i) a first permeate stream, (ii) a second permeate stream, and (iii) a residual stream. The first permeate stream includes CO 2  removed from the natural gas stream. The second permeate stream includes methane at a greater concentration than a concentration of methane in the natural gas stream. The residual stream contains C2+ hydrocarbons at a greater concentration than a concentration of C2+ hydrocarbons in the natural gas stream.

Claim (Index 20):
The membrane separation assembly module according to  claim 16 , wherein:\n said at least one first membrane element comprises a cellulose acetate based membrane; and said at least one second membrane element comprises either a cellulose acetate based membrane or polydimethylsiloxane based membrane.
