Description

Direct output process and device for boil-off gas of liquefied natural gas receiving station
Technical Field
The invention relates to a low-energy-consumption BOG (boil off gas) direct output process and device for an LNG (liquefied natural gas) receiving station.
Background
The LNG receiving station is generally an LNG vaporization plant constructed at sea for receiving marine LNG, and is designed to unload, store and BOG vaporize LNG transferred by an ocean-going carrier, and to transport the LNG to users, works, and the like. Due to the input of external energy, such as pump operation, the leakage of ambient heat, atmospheric pressure change, environmental influences and the like, the liquefied natural gas at the extremely low temperature is heated and evaporated to generate evaporated gas. The evaporation gas pressure in the storage tank is very low, and the evaporation gas can enter the system only by pressurization, so that the energy consumption is high. When the internal pressure of the storage tank is higher than the safety relief pressure set by the system, the generated BOG is directly discharged to a torch for combustion, so that the waste of natural gas is caused.
There are generally two methods for recovering boil-off gas (BOG) from an LNG receiving station, depending on how the BOG is treated in an LNG storage tank. One is a direct output process, namely BOG is compressed and pressurized to an external pipeline network by a BOG compressor to be directly output; the other is a re-condensation process, wherein BOG is pressurized to a certain pressure by a BOG compressor and then enters a re-condenser together with the supercooled LNG pressurized by a low-pressure pump for heat exchange and re-liquefaction, the BOG is pressurized by a high-pressure pump, and the BOG is gasified by a gasifier and then is output.
In the BOG direct output process, high-pressure LNG pressurized by a high-pressure pump is gasified by a gasifier to release a large amount of cold energy, and the cold energy of the LNG is commonly used for power generation, air separation, seawater desalination and the like. However, a part of cold energy existing in the LNG vaporization process is often not utilized by 100% or low-grade cold energy is not available.
At present, more and more LNG receiving stations need to supply gas to a high-pressure long-distance pipeline network and also need to directly supply gas to medium-pressure users in medium-short distances, so that some LNG receiving stations divide the exported natural gas into high pressure and medium pressure for transportation.
Chinese patent No. CN101881549A entitled "recondensing recovery system and recovery method of boil-off gas at LNG receiving station" discloses a new recondensing recovery system, which reduces the temperature of BOG entering a recondenser by precooling pressurized BOG based on the existing BOG recondensing process to reduce the LNG cold energy required by cold energy BOG, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the power consumption of a compressor. The patent only reduces the energy consumption of the process to a small extent. The publication number is CN103225740A entitled a BOG processing system for LNG receiving station using pressure energy, and discloses a system in which a high-pressure LNG transfer branch is branched from an LNG transfer line, and is connected to an input end of a liquid-gas injection mixer, an output end of the LNG transfer branch is connected to a medium-high pressure vaporizer, and a low-pressure suction port of the LNG transfer branch is connected to a BOG discharge header pipe, thereby obtaining medium-high pressure natural gas. However, the pressure of the high-pressure natural gas is reduced in the method, and the pressure of the high-pressure liquefied natural gas is wasted.

As is well known, liquid pressurization is easy to generate gas, so that the process solves the problem of high energy consumption of the existing direct outward transportation process. Meanwhile, the invention has low process cost and better application prospect.
2. The energy consumption saved by the method can be accurately verified by performing simulation calculation through HYSYS software widely adopted in the chemical oil and gas industry.
3. The method of the invention fully utilizes the low-grade cold energy in the prior BOG direct output process, and has outstanding energy-saving effect. In the BOG direct output process in the existing LNG receiving station process, the energy consumption of a compressor is high, and is a key point for restricting the energy consumption of the whole process. However, a part of high-grade cold energy existing in the LNG vaporization process is often not utilized by 100% or the high-grade cold energy is not available. As the pressure of the liquid increases, the boiling point of the liquid vaporization is higher, so that the vaporization heat and the vaporization temperature of the liquid into gas at different pressures are different, and the grade of the released cold energy is higher or lower. The temperature of the high-pressure liquid is higher than that of the low-pressure gas, and the grade of cold energy obtained by the vaporization of the high-pressure liquid is low. Therefore, in some regions with low cold energy utilization rate, the high-pressure pump can pressurize the LNG more, so that the high-pressure LNG absorbs heat in the vaporizer and is gasified into high-pressure natural gas, the high-pressure gas is expanded and then does work outwards, the high-pressure pump and the BOG compressor are pushed to do work in turn, and heat energy is converted into mechanical energy in the process. Therefore, the power consumption of the compressor and the like is reduced, the energy consumption of the whole LNG receiving station is reduced, and meanwhile, the low-grade cold energy is effectively utilized.
