This specification relates to operating industrial facilities, for example, crude oil refining facilities or other industrial facilities that include operating plants that process natural gas or recover natural gas liquids.

The present invention pertains to a method for filling a transport tank with a product medium in a liquid state in a gas liquefaction plant, comprising a step of supplying the product medium in the liquid state from a storage tank (18) of the gas liquefaction plant to the transport tank. The method is characterized in that it further comprises a step of discharging the product medium in a gaseous state from the transport tank into the storage tank (18).

The present invention corresponds to a gas cooling and condensing system using fluid energy and comprising a gas feed line, a first vortex tube connected to the gas feed line, a second vortex tube connected to the first vortex tube and a first heat exchanger connected to the second vortex tube and to the gas feed line. Said gas cooling and condensing system is a modular system, which may be replicated and connected in series or in parallel to another modular system to obtain a cooler or higher mass flow gas than that obtained with a single modular system.

Moreover, the system of the present invention is optionally connected to thermal recovery, pressure recovery, recirculation or venting elements for the utilization of the waste gas streams. Furthermore, the system of the present invention does not require additional energy to that obtained from the pressure of the feed line for obtaining liquefied gas. On the other hand, the system of the present invention taps the pressure drop required between the compressed gas transport and distribution activities.
