Abstract
Natural gas is a hydrocarbon gas mixture organized beneath the earth. Natural gas is designed as the safest fossil fuel and is a secure energy source when transported, stored, and used. Methane (CH4) is the main constituent of natural gas, and according to its origin, it may consist of ethane (C2H6) and valuable C2+ hydrocarbons. When valuable C2+ hydrocarbons, mainly propane (C3H8), and heavier hydrocarbons present are high, natural gas can be used for separation and conversion with different gas processing technologies. The absorption and cryogenic expander techniques are two main procedures to separate the natural gas liquid from the natural gas stream. Also, heavy hydrocarbons can be obtained from some catalytic conversion of methane in natural gas with different microwave plasma methods. Dielectric barrier discharge is a more favorable technique for this conversion.
