Abstract

The invention relates to a cascade type natural gas pressurized liquefaction process with sublimation removal of CO2. Natural gas is kept at a gas state and precooled in a precooler, and is fed into a crystallizer and kept on cooling, so that solid dry ice can be separated out by sublimation and the CO2 content is reduced to 0.5%; and then, natural gas is fed into a cryogenic compressor for pressurization, fed into a liquefier for liquefaction under a high pressure, and fed into a storage tank for storage. The cold quantity required by a liquefaction process is provided by an independent two-stage cascade refrigerating cycle. Compared with the prior art, the process provided by the utility model not only dispenses with CO2 pretreatment equipment which occupies a large area in the conventional natural gas liquefaction process, but also simplifies the traditional three-stage cascade refrigerating cycle to two-stage refrigerating cycle, so as to greatly reduce the cost of investment for natural gas liquefaction on an offshore platform which has high manufacturing cost. Meanwhile, the natural gas liquefaction at a high temperature also reduces the energy consumption of the refrigerating cycle.

Description

Band is sublimated and is removed CO 2tandem type natural gas liquefaction process with pressure
Technical field
The present invention relates to purification and the liquefaction process of natural gas, be a kind of in gas deliquescence process the liquefaction process, particularly a kind of liquefaction process of the carbon dioxide removal of sublimating in tandem type natural gas liquefaction process with pressure of low temperature carbon dioxide removal.Belong to chemical industry and cryogenic technique field.
Background technology
Exploration practices proves, the petroleum resources that is richly stored with in the numerous sedimentary basin of China Seas, and the offshore natural gas reserves of verifying are at present about 1/3 of national gas reserves.The exploitation of offshore natural gas not only can provide a kind of clean energy resource of high heating value, can reduce the degree of dependence to petroleum resources simultaneously, have the safe meaning of important environmental protection and energy strategy.For ease of the trade that transports of natural gas, often by its liquefaction.Before traditional natural gas liquefaction, need to carry out purified treatment, wherein de-CO 2the standard that generally will reach 50~100ppm, this preprocessing process not only floor space is large, and energy consumption is many.
Natural gas liquefaction technology with pressure (PLNG technology) refers at higher pressure and approximately under 1~2MPa, makes natural gas liquefaction obtain the technology of liquefied natural gas with pressure (LNG) product.Corresponding condensing temperature is about-100~-120 DEG C, and the required cold providing and required heat exchange area have not only been provided higher condensing temperature, have reduced energy consumption, and have greatly increased CO in LNG 2solubility (CO 2in normal pressure LNG, molar solubility is less than 0.01%, and can increase to 1~3% under PLNG condition).The increase of solubility has reduced purification process to removing CO 2requirement, for PLNG flow process, consider safe clearance, it is generally acknowledged the standard that reaches 0.5%.Initial PLNG flow process is mainly for CO 2the natural gas that content is lower proposes, but due to CO 2the increment that solubility with temperature in PLNG raises has its limit, and PLNG flow process is for CO 2content is just helpless higher than 0.5% natural gas, and therefore its application is extremely restricted.How to expand PLNG flow process to CO 2the scope of application of content becomes problem demanding prompt solution.
In the whole bag of tricks, adopt the CO in the method separation removal natural gas of sublimating 2make its molar fraction be down to 0.5%, both retained common PLNG flow process without ad hoc CO 2the advantage of pre-processing device has avoided again solid-liquid two-phase in some method to occur being easy to the problems such as the obstruction that causes simultaneously, is CO 2molar fraction provides by PLNG technology higher than 0.5% Gas Exploitation may.
Sublimate and remove CO in natural gas 2technology, be mainly to utilize CO 2the higher phase-change characteristic of easily sublimating of three phase point temperature, offers the cold of natural gas in conjunction with liquefaction flow path with pressure, make the CO in natural gas 2the frosting of sublimating at lower temperature, thus realize CO 2gas solid separation with natural gas.For avoiding occurring must ensureing CO in natural gas by liquefaction phenomenon in the process of sublimating 2frosting temperature higher than the dew-point temperature of natural gas, for meeting this requirement, CO in natural gas under 1.4~1.6MPa pressure 2molar fraction must not be higher than 30%.Sublimate and remove CO in natural gas 2method, on the one hand, can remove CO in natural gas 2content, make CO in natural gas 2content reach the requirement of liquefaction flow path; On the other hand, can also obtain solid dry ice as byproduct.
Tandem type natural gas liquefaction flow process generally by three grades independently cooling cycle system form.Typical tandem type cooling cycle system is made up of propane, ethene (or ethane), the cold circulatory system overlapping of methane three tier structure, and the circulation of first order propane refrigeration provides cold for natural gas, ethene and methane; Ethylene refrigeration circulation in the second level provides cold for natural gas and methane; Third level methane refrigeration cycle provides cold for natural gas.Because Cascade has adopted most widely used high efficiency vapor compression type refrigerating system in refrigerating industry, and refrigeration warm area classification is thinner, and the thermic load that can fall liquefaction process with natural gas is mated well, thereby energy consumption is low; Utilize the evaporation of cold-producing medium liquid phase that cold is provided, refrigerant flow is little; And cold-producing medium is pure material, without proportioning problem.But Cascade unit is many, complicated this shortcoming of flow process has limited applying of it greatly, less employing in natural gas liquid chemical industry at present.But for liquefied natural gas flow process with pressure, because natural gas liquefies under higher temperature, if adopt cascade type liquefaction circulation can omit the refrigeration system of minimum temperature one-level.This greatly reduces the key equipment quantity of whole device, and flow process complexity obviously reduces, and also becomes liquefaction cycle with pressure and is applicable to a kind of Process flow adopting.
