Description

A kind of method of re-liquefaction of shipping liquefaction ethene/ethane vaporized gas
Technical field
The boil-off gas (BOG) that the present invention relates to liquid petroleum chemicals is the liquefaction technology field again, and when specifically being meant a kind of shipping liquefaction ethene/ethane, processes such as transportation and unloading are because of going into the method for re-liquefaction of thermogenetic BOG.
Background technology
Ethylene industry is to weigh the scale of a national petrochemical industry and the sign of development degree, no matter developed country or developing country, all construction and the development that all can do one's utmost to promote ethylene industry with good conditionsi.Along with the sustained and rapid development of China's Petrochemical and national economy, the demand of ethene is continued to increase.China's ethene consumption figure was 2,169 ten thousand tons in 2007, and ethylene yield is 1,047 ten thousand tons, and the degree of self-sufficiency only is 48.3%; Estimate that China's ethylene production capacity in 2010 will reach 1,600 ten thousand tons, the ethylene requirements equivalent will reach 2,735 ten thousand tons, and equivalent need satisfaction rate is 58.5%, still need rely on a large amount of import ethene to satisfy the demands.
Cracking stock expense proportion is very big in the ethene cost, and cracking stock system ethene is all made with ethane in the natural gas of cheapness and propane in the area of the rich producing natural gas in the world.Middle East (as Saudi Arabia) aboundresources, local ethane price is 37.5 dollars/t, ethylene raw 85% adopts ethane and propane, reaches 100 dollars/t thereby its production cost of ethylene is hanged down.And the ethylene industry of China is limited by resource, and domestic ethylene raw 90% is from the refinery, and raw material is laid particular stress on, and how based on naphtha, production cost of ethylene is up to 530 dollars/t.In order to satisfy the ethylene raw demand, the external interdependency of the oil of China in 2010 further strengthens.Select the deficiency of suitable import ethane,, alleviate the shortage of petroleum resources, have significant social and economic implications reducing domestic production cost of ethylene with the make-up ethylene raw material.
Often adopt the cryostat, ship to carry out ethene commerciality sea-freight in the world, as developed countries such as U.S. import liquid ethylene from middle-east, shipping is come back home.-104 ℃ of liquefied ethylene volumes of the inferior weight of normal pressure are about 1/490 of gas ethene under the normality, and the volume after the liquefaction dwindles greatly, and is comparatively favourable to the storing of ethene.But because the low temperature ethylene storage tank is subjected to the intrusion of external environment heat, part mechanical energy was converted into heat energy when submerged pump moved in the ethene liquid goods jar in the sea-freight process, all can make the gasification of pot liquid ethene produce flashed vapour, also was BOG (boiloff-gas) gas.The generation of boil-off gas can make the liquid goods ethylene temperature of cargo tank raise, thereby causes the rising of cargo hold pressure.Too high cargo tank pressure can destroy the structure of cargo tank, and its maintenance system is caused danger.If but let alone to enter in the air, not only dangerous, also very uneconomical economically.Therefore, consider, all need to the boil-off gas processing of liquefying again, to reclaim this part BOG from the security and the economy of boats and ships transportations.Ethane and ethene character are similar, and under the normal pressure, with the liquid ethane of ethane gas identical weight, temperature is-88 ℃, and volume then has only 1/435.The same existence and the problem of ethene sea-freight in the sea-freight of ethane, also need the ethane gas that the evaporates recycling of liquefying again.
The technology that the steam that liquid goods produces in transportation liquefies again, present document " reliquefying systems mounted on liquefied gas tankships principle and reliquefaction installation general introduction " (Dai Qian, Li Pinyou. reliquefying systems mounted on liquefied gas tankships principle and reliquefaction installation general introduction. cryogenics, 2005 (1): relevant technology report is arranged 6-9).Relevant technologies comprises: the reliquefaction installation on the multipurpose low-temperature liquid gas ship of being mentioned in " reliquefying systems mounted on liquefied gas tankships principle and reliquefaction installation general introduction ", this device is mainly used in liquefied ethylene, oil gas, ammonia, to satisfy the carrying requirement of different goods.This device adopts the direct kind of refrigeration cycle of superposition type, is that the open circulation of refrigerant and the enclosed kind of refrigeration cycle of an employing R22 cold-producing medium are in series by one with liquid goods promptly.In the cold-producing medium closed cycle of this device, refrigerant gas directly enters the refrigerant condenser cooling mix compressed machine compression with the gas that backflows of follow-up flow process after, and entirely by the cooled with seawater cold-producing medium, the heat exchange load is bigger.Cold-producing medium through cooling is divided into two strands, enters heat exchanger after the stock-traders' know-how choke valve decompression, cools off another strand cold-producing medium, and the refrigerant gas after the heat exchange is as backflowing gas.Enter condenser/evaporator cooling BOG gas through cooled another strand cold-producing medium, the refrigerant gas after the heat exchange enters the one-level compressor and constitutes circulation.
In the R22 cold-producing medium enclosed kind of refrigeration cycle in the reliquefaction installation that this article is introduced, employing R22 is a cold-producing medium, R22 has been put into one of controlled substance in the Montreal Protocol because its ozone depletion index is 0.055, chloride cold-producing mediums such as R22, R502 has been stipulated end using time in the world.This device R22 condenser in the liquefaction flow path more in addition, the cooling of cold-producing medium is basic complete in seawater, and the heat exchange load is big, has strengthened investment cost.And, make the refrigerant cools temperature also be restricted owing to be subjected to the restriction of import ocean temperature.
Summary of the invention
