Description

A kind of method of single-stage mixing cryogen refrigerating cycle liquefied natural gas and device
Technical field
The invention belongs to the liquefaction technology field of natural gas, coal bed gas or other methane-rich gas, particularly a kind of method of single-stage mixing cryogen refrigerating cycle liquefied natural gas and device.
Background technology
The main component of natural gas, coal bed gas is a methane, at normal temperatures, can't only depend on pressurization that it is liquefied.Need to adopt natural gas liquefaction process that it is liquefied, is LNG (liquefied natural gas) such as the methane under normal pressure-162 ℃ of liquefaction, its volume only is 1/625 of an original gaseous state, its density be under the standard state more than 600 times of methane, water 45%, volume energy density is 72% of a gasoline.Because the convenience of the burning quality of its cleaning and use so be the industry and the domestic fuel of high-quality, very helps again carrying and storing simultaneously.
Common natural gas liquefaction cooling flow has tandem type kind of refrigeration cycle, azeotrope kind of refrigeration cycle and expander kind of refrigeration cycle at present.Though tandem type kind of refrigeration cycle unit energy consumption is minimum, energy-saving effect is best, the flow process complexity, and operation control is complicated, and equipment is many, and investment is maximum, is applicable to the Large LNG system; Expander kind of refrigeration cycle flow process is simple, regulates flexibly, is easy to the start-stop car, and easy operating is invested lowlyer, but specific energy consumption height is applicable to small-sized LNG system.The azeotrope kind of refrigeration cycle is to adopt azeotrope to carry out compression throttling refrigeration, and its flow process complexity, number of devices, control complexity, investment, specific energy consumption be then between between the two, mainly is applicable to big-and-middle-sized LNG system.At present the flow process of azeotrope kind of refrigeration cycle is after improving, because number of devices minimizing, process simplification, energy consumption is very low, control is simpler, can be suitable for the LNG system of various scales.Especially by the PRICO Refrigeration Technique of U.S. BVPI exploitation, it need not multistage separatory repeatedly mixes after the throttling and returns compressor, has simplified flow process to a certain extent, has reduced number of devices and investment.But its cooler is positioned on the ground, and after the azeotrope after the compressed machine compression enters cooler, thereby partial liquefaction (in the pipeline after cooler) produces gas-liquid two-phase in cooler; In order to solve the problem of azeotrope biphase gas and liquid flow, this technology still is provided with gas-liquid separator gas-liquid is separated behind cooler, isolated liquid cryogen is entered ice chest again with after being pumped to the ice chest porch and the isolated gas cryogen of separator mixing, this method has still increased number of devices (as separator, pump etc.) and control point, its circulation process and operation control etc. are still comparatively complicated, the increase of number of devices also causes the increase of input cost, thereby causes the increase of whole process of production cost.
Summary of the invention
Main purpose of the present invention provides a kind of method that need not to carry out azeotrope gas-liquid separation and the single-stage mixing cryogen refrigerating cycle liquefied natural gas that mixes, and minimizing equipment drops into, and simplifies circulation process and operation control, reduces production costs.Simultaneously, the present invention also provides a kind of device that is used for the method for above-mentioned single-stage mixing cryogen refrigerating cycle liquefied natural gas.

On key foundation of the present invention, can also take different temperature, pressure operation parameter according to the master-plan of system and the composition of unstripped gas.
Because therefore the inevitable loss of cold-producing medium in kind of refrigeration cycle need regularly replenish; Under normal start-stop car or accident condition, need charge into or discharge azeotrope, necessary therefrom separation, married operation do not influence the expression of feature of the present invention.
Can the cooling of one-level compression one-level in the compression cooling procedure, also can multistage cooling of multiple compressors multi-stage compression or the multistage cooling of a compressor multi-stage compression.The one-level compression is reduced investment outlay, and multi-stage compression is energy-saving and cost-reducing.No matter adopt which kind of compact model, as long as the operation that there is not shunting in the cold-producing medium circulation, mixes does not then influence feature representation of the present invention.
Remove water, sour gas and mercury in the raw natural gas.Heavy hydrocarbon can remove by molecular sieve in pretreatment system, perhaps by independently making the heavy hydrocarbon condensation and separated removing after the chilldown system cooling; Also can not establish independently chilldown system, and remove heavy hydrocarbon by the cooling of the forecooler in the ice chest.When adopting the latter, heavy hydrocarbon separates from the natural gas streamline, and therefore not shunting or mixing of azeotrope do not influence feature representation of the present invention.
If the nitrogenous height of raw natural gas and need denitrogenation then also can increase the denitrogenation module on the natural gas streamline.Lock out operation in the denitrification process betides on the natural gas streamline, and azeotrope is shunting or mixing not, does not therefore also influence feature representation of the present invention.
