Liquid component separations

A system for separating components comprising:

• a first indirect-contact heat exchanger having an inlet configured to receive a process fluid stream comprising a first component and a second component, said first indirect-contact heat exchanger configured to cool the process fluid stream to form a process liquid stream, the first indirect-contact heat exchanger including a liquid stream outlet;
• an expansion device having a liquid stream inlet in fluid communication with the liquid stream outlet of the first indirect-contact heat exchanger, the expansion device configured to expand the process liquid stream such that the first component and a first portion of the second component vaporize to form a process vapor stream and a second portion of the second component freezes to form a first solid product stream, wherein the expansion device is configured to expand the process liquid stream by decreasing a pressure of the process liquid stream, the expansion device further comprising a vapor outlet to allow passage of the process vapor stream out of the expansion device and a solid stream outlet to allow passage of the first solid product stream out of the expansion device;
• a desublimating heat exchanger having a vapor stream inlet configured to receive the process vapor stream from the vapor outlet of the expansion device and configured to pass the process vapor stream across a contact liquid stream such that the first portion of the second component desublimates into the contact liquid stream as a second solid product stream;
• the desublimating heat exchanger further configured to pass the second solid product stream and the contact liquid stream out as a slurry stream in a solid stream outlet of the desublimating heat exchanger;
• the desublimating heat exchanger having a vapor stream outlet configured to pass the process vapor stream out as a stripped process vapor stream;
• a compressor having a vapor stream inlet configured to receive the stripped process vapor stream, the compressor configured to compress the stripped process vapor stream to form a primary product liquid stream, said compressor having a liquid stream outlet configured to direct the primary product liquid stream to the first indirect-contact heat exchanger, said first indirect-contact heat exchanger further configured to warm the primary product liquid stream against the process fluid stream;
• the system further comprising a second indirect-contact heat exchanger having a solid stream inlet configured to receive the first solid product stream from the expansion device and the second solid product stream from the desublimating heat exchanger, where the first solid product stream is combined with the second solid product stream at a junction prior to entering the second indirect-contact heat exchanger to form a combined solid product stream, wherein the second indirect-contact heat exchanger is configured to melt the combined solid product stream to form a secondary product liquid stream, said first indirect-contact heat exchanger further configured to warm the secondary product liquid stream against the process fluid stream.
