Description

Liquefied natural gas de-heavy hydrocarbon apparatus and its method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of MRC of improvement (azeotrope refrigeration) technique LNG (liquefied natural gas) de-heavy hydrocarbon apparatus and Its method, compared with current existing LNG de-heavy hydrocarbon apparatus and its method, subtracts the invention enables de- heavy hydrocarbon process requirements equipment Few, flow is compacter, operation difficulty reduction, and the adaptability under variable working condition or different makings is dramatically increased.
Background technology
As LNG industries are developed rapidly in recent years, gradually increased using MRC technique LNG devices.And it is natural in these devices The removing of gas heavy hydrocarbon is a very important link, and whether also contribute to LNG devices being capable of even running.Current country MRC systems The de- heavy hydrocarbon technique of cold technique LNG devices mainly has following several prior arts;
1st, Conventional cryogenic separating technology:
Such as Fig. 1, including azeotrope EGR, and natural gas liquefaction device, and de-heavy hydrocarbon apparatus.
After normal temperature, low-pressure vapor phase cryogen in azeotrope EGR compress through refrigerant compressor, it is divided into high pressure vapor Cryogen and high pressure liquid phase cryogen two-way, high pressure liquid phase cryogen mix acquisition after being exchanged through heavy hydrocarbon exchanger heat with high pressure vapor cryogen High pressure mixing cryogen enters from the top of ice chest, and with reflux azeotrope from bottom to top carries out heat exchange from top to down, To low temperature liquid phase cryogen is obtained during ice chest bottom, azeotrope temperature is about -150 DEG C, then by valve expansion throttling, obtains more The liquid phase azeotrope of low temperature, lower pressure, flowing from bottom to top, and high temperature azeotrope with both sides, unstripped gas enter Row heat exchange, rises to normal temperature by ice chest Base top contact after azeotrope re-heat, compressor is entered again and completes a kind of refrigeration cycle.
Purification raw natural gas enter from ice chest top, and cold section of extraction, heavy hydrocarbon is separated by cold catch pot from ice chest After return to ice chest continue cool down, finally obtain LNG product from ice chest bottom, and storage tank is sent to after treatment.
Heavy hydrocarbon and the high pressure liquid phase cryogen of cold catch pot bottom removing are exchanged heat and are reclaimed cold.Sent to after treatment Storage tank.
In said apparatus start-up process, the thermograde of ice chest has a process for gradually building up.It is cold during foundation The temperature that the unstripped gas that case middle part is drawn enters before cold catch pot can't drop to required temperature, and heavy hydrocarbon quality will be caused not conform to The natural gas of lattice introduces the bottom of ice chest heat exchanger, and startup procedure low temperature will be caused to block risk to be increased, therefore, above-mentioned routine is low Warm separating technology generally also needs to increase by one group of heat exchanger that goes into operation.Such as the removing weight of CN201320066196.5-LNG production equipments Hydrocarbon device.The heat exchanger that goes into operation is located at (not shown in figure 1) before heavy hydrocarbon separator, it is ensured that cannot initial stage ice chest top is driven When providing cold, unstripped gas cools to one 60 DEG C or so by the heat exchanger that goes into operation, then by cold catch pot that heavy hydrocarbon is cold again Separated from unstripped gas after solidifying.
2nd, with the heavy hydrocarbon separating technology of washing:
Such as Fig. 2, azeotrope EGR is compared with technology 1.
Purification raw natural gas lead to heavy hydrocarbon scrubbing tower from ice chest precooling zone, in returning to ice chest after washing cold section it is cold But ice chest continuation cooling, then after leading to heavy hydrocarbon return tank separation heavy hydrocarbon is returned to, finally LNG product is obtained from ice chest bottom, and Storage tank is sent to after treatment.
The heavy hydrocarbon for from heavy hydrocarbon return tank separate is squeezed into heavy hydrocarbon scrubbing tower and is washed by heavy hydrocarbon reflux pump, heavy hydrocarbon washing Heavy hydrocarbon and the high pressure liquid phase cryogen of tower bottom removing are exchanged heat and are reclaimed cold.Storage tank is sent to after treatment.
3rd, normal temperature washing process:Such as Fig. 3, it is solvent that the technique typically uses isopentane, under normal temperature or slightly below normal temperature, By the similar principle that mixes of isopentane, isopentane flows from the top down in heavy hydrocarbon scrubbing tower, and natural gas flows from bottom to top, passes through Contact of the natural gas with isopentane and perforated space are exchanged and deviate from the heavy hydrocarbon of natural gas, and the isopentane being rich in more than heavy hydrocarbon directly goes Storage tank is stored.Heavy hydrocarbon and the isopentane of heavy hydrocarbon scrubbing tower bottom removing are exchanged heat and are reclaimed cold.Storage tank is sent to after treatment.
The shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art is:
Prior art 1 is simple low temperature separating process, and heavy hydrocarbon is separated at low temperature using separator, and device technique is not Possible absolute stability, by raw natural gas change of component, and azeotrope the influence of component and height pressure difference, make into point When increasing from the temperature of charge increase of device or pressure, original is dissolved in the restructuring such as benzene, hexamethylene, pungent pentane in the liquid phase of separator Branch flashes off, and causes the variation of separating effect, is blocked so as to easily cause ice chest low temperature.The de- heavy hydrocarbon result of different temperatures is shown in Fig. 5.
Secondly, the increased heat exchanger that goes into operation only is used in the stage of going into operation, and is again that the idleness of equipment is wasted in normal operating phase, Shortage is acted on.
Prior art 2 is to increase the dynamic equipment such as heavy hydrocarbon pump using Conventional cryogenic washing process, increase operation complexity and Energy ezpenditure, increases the complexity of system.Limited by the performance of pump, so that the adaptability of limits device heavy hydrocarbon.
The normal temperature isopentane washing process of prior art 3 increases the consumption of isopentane, increased the operating cost of device.
The content of the invention
Present invention aim at:There is provided the liquefaction that a kind of process is simple, equipment are few, flow is compact, operation difficulty is low natural Qi exhaustion heavy hydrocarbon apparatus and method, using apparatus and method of the present invention, the adaptability under variable working condition or different makings is dramatically increased.
A kind of liquefied natural gas de-heavy hydrocarbon apparatus that the present invention is used, including azeotrope EGR, ice chest, low temperature point From device, heavy hydrocarbon heat exchanger, and the intake pipeline of unstripped gas first being connected with ice chest, the top of cold catch pot sets one and condenses Evaporator, cold catch pot constitutes knockout tower with condenser/evaporator;The unstripped gas exit on ice chest top passes through unstripped gas second Intake pipeline connects the entrance of condenser/evaporator, and the gaseous phase outlet of condenser/evaporator connects cold by the intake pipeline of unstripped gas the 3rd The unstripped gas arrival end of lower box part;
