LNG Liquefied natural gas loading system and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the LNG Liquefied natural gas field, in particular to a kind of LNG Liquefied natural gas loading system and method.
Background technique
LNG Liquefied natural gas (LNG, Liquefied Natural Gas) is a kind of high-grade energy, has calorific value height, the little characteristics of combustion pollution.LNG shipping and tank car transportation dual mode are adopted in the long-distance transportation of LNG Liquefied natural gas; When adopting the transportation of LNG tank car; Need design tank car loading system, LNG is carried and is filled in the tank car through pipeline from the LNG storage tank, pass through tank car transportation and direct marketing after the entrucking simultaneously to the user; Therefore, need the Trade Measures system be set simultaneously at loading station.The way that Trade Measures adopts tank car to weigh usually realizes that through the weight before and after the entrucking of weighing tank car, its difference is exactly the loading of freight waggon of LNG, as the foundation of LNG volume of trade clearing.
Existing technology adopts every entrucking branch line manually to control its entrucking flow, and compounding practice workman LNG filling weight in the manual observation tank car in the entrucking process judges whether tank car is filled, then through the tank car weighbridge metering loading of freight waggon.Existing technology relatively is fit to the occasion that the tank car entrucking branch line loading of freight waggon few, every day is little, operator's needs lack; Big when the tank car loading of freight waggon, the entrucking branch line is many, when car loading operation is frequent; If still adopt existing technology; Have then that each tank car loading of freight waggon is inhomogeneous, problems such as entrucking is excessive appear in a large amount of personnel of needs operations simultaneously, labor intensity greatly, easily; The excessive LNG of causing of entrucking simultaneously overflows in tank car, causes the LNG waste, also brings the problem of the LNG gasification formation inflammable gas initiation potential after overflowing simultaneously.

House steward BOG 12, are connected with BOG pipeline 14, will be delivered to the gas-phase space or the BOG processing system of LNG storage tank by the BOG that LNG tank car 18 returns;
Flow measurement instrument and flow control valve are separately positioned on the LNG entrucking pipeline, and are electrically connected with batch entrucking controller 17 respectively;
In batches entrucking controller 17 is connected with release on the LNG tank car 18, according to the opening and closing of the flow control flow control valve of the volume of the LNG tank car that writes down in the release, LNG that flow measurement instrument records.
In the present embodiment, LNG entrucking house steward will be delivered to loading station from the LNG of LNG storage tank, and BOG returns house steward the BOG that produces in the entrucking process is back to the gas-phase space or the BOG processing system of LNG storage tank, with the pressure between balance LNG storage tank and the LNG tank car; Automatically control the opening and closing of flow control valve on the LNG entrucking pipeline through batch entrucking controller, improved the efficient of entrucking, avoided overflowing of LNG and the danger that causes, make that LNG entrucking process is able to effectively with reliablely and stablely realize.
LNG entrucking pipeline, LNG entrucking arm, BOG return arm and BOG pipeline form a LNG entrucking branch line, according to the size of the LNG loading of freight waggon many entrucking branch lines can be set.
Adopt the entrucking process of the foregoing description following:
The LNG tank car is at first swiped the card after arriving loading station, carries out empty wagons then and weighs; In LNG information of vehicles to be installed input batch controller, then the LNG tank car gets into the entrucking branch line of certain bar appointment under operator's guidance, with LNG entrucking arm be connected with tank car with the BOG return arm, leak detection, electrostatic grounding; Press the entrucking button that links to each other with batch controller, start the entrucking program and carry out the automatic loading operation, after the LNG tank car is filled; Batch controller can stop entrucking automatically, and the entrucking personnel are with LNG entrucking arm and BOG return arm and the disengaging of LNG tank car then, and the LNG tank car leaves the entrucking branch line; Weigh to the outlet port and handle the trade transaction formality; There is the batch controller that signal links to each other to go out this LNG loading of freight waggon by autoweighing with weighbridge, and calculates total value of goods of this car, in the release with these information inputs LNG tank car according to predefined LNG unit price; As the foundation of trade transaction, batch controller is noted the needed information of this car loading of freight waggon simultaneously.
Fig. 2 is the flow control valve flow control plotted curve of one embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, the flow curve of flow control valve has in the beginning of entrucking process with when finishing to be increased and the function that reduces gradually gradually, and be a stationary value that is provided with in advance in the entrucking process, thus the time of guaranteeing entrucking, raising entrucking efficient; And beginning and the flow gradual change when finishing can realize effectively cooling off LNG entrucking arm (or flexible pipe), avoid the percussion of LNG to tank car, make the entrucking process more steadily with reliable; Batch controller can calculate needed loading time automatically according to the volume of tank car in the release of the LNG tank car that gets into the tank car loading station, and adjusts the time of flow control opening of valves automatically.
For example, above-mentioned loading system also comprises: liquid level detector, and be arranged on the LNG tank car and and be electrically connected with batch entrucking controller, the liquid level signal of the LNG tank car of its detection is passed to entrucking controller in batches; Wherein, when liquid level signal surpassed predefined numerical value, the entrucking controller sent alarm signal in batches, and the interlocking close flow control valve, can effectively avoid the LNG tank car to overcharge.
For example, above-mentioned loading system also comprises: first temperature indicating instrument, be arranged on the LNG entrucking pipeline, and measure and show the temperature of LNG entrucking pipeline, and the temperature that ought record is higher than the predefined upper limit.
