摘要： A hydrocarbon separation system for an engine fuel supply system is disclosed. The hydrocarbon separation system may include an untreated gas conduit configured to transport a raw gas stream including methane, ethane and higher carbon chainlength hydrocarbon molecules. The system may also include a separator downstream of and fluidly coupled to the untreated gas conduit configured to segregate methane or ethane of the raw gas stream from the higher carbon chainlength hydrocarbon molecules of the raw gas stream. A treated gas conduit may be located downstream of and fluidly coupled to the separator and be configured to transport the methane or ethane of the raw gas stream away from the separator. Lastly, the system may include an electronic controller configured to receive a breakthrough signal and transmit a regeneration signal in response to the breakthrough signal.
