具体实施方式
混合制冷剂液化系统和方法的实施方式图示于图1-7中。应注意尽管下面依据使天然气液化产生液化天然气而解释和描述了所述实施方式，然而本发明可用于液化其他类型的气体。
基本液化处理和混合制冷剂压缩系统可以如Gushanas等的共同拥有的美国专利公开号2011/0226008、美国专利申请号12/726,142中所述，该两篇专利申请的内容通过参考特此引入。通常，参考图1，该系统包括通常以10表示的多路热交换器，其具有热端12和冷端14。该热交换器接收高压天然气进料流16，该高压天然气进料流在冷却或液化通道18中通过与热交换器中的制冷流进行热交换来去除热而被液化。结果，产生液化天然气(LNG)产品流20。该热交换器的多路设计允许数种流方便且能量有效地结合到单一交换器中。合适的热交换器可购自德克萨斯州的The Woodlands的Chart Energy&Chemicals,Inc.。可从Chart Energy&Chemicals,Inc.购得的板翅式多路热交换器提供了物理上紧凑的额外优势。
包括热交换器10在内的图1的系统可被配置成执行现有技术中已知的其他气体处理选项。这些处理选项可能需要气流离开及再进入热交换器一次或多次，并且可包括例如天然气液体回收或氮排除。
热去除在热交换器中利用混合制冷剂来实现，该混合制冷剂利用通常以22标示的混合制冷剂压缩系统来处理和调节。混合制冷剂压缩系统包括高压储存器(accumulator)43，其在最后的压缩和冷却循环之后接收并分离混合制冷剂(MR)混合相流11。尽管描述了聚集鼓(accumulator drum)43，然而可使用可选的分离装置，其包括但不限于另一类型的容器、旋风分离器、蒸馏装置、聚结分离器或者筛型或叶轮型除雾器。高压蒸汽制冷剂流13离开储存器43的蒸汽出口并行进至热交换器10的热侧。
高压液体制冷剂流17离开储存器43的液体出口，并且还行进至热交换器的热端。在热交换器10中冷却之后，其作为混合相流47行进至中温立管(stand pipe)128。
在来自储存器43的高压蒸汽流13在热交换器10中冷却之后，混合相流19流至冷蒸汽分离器21。所得到的蒸汽制冷剂流23离开分离器21的蒸汽出口，并且在热交换器10中冷却之后作为混合相流29行进至低温立管27。蒸汽和液体流41和45离开低温立管27并进料到热交换器10的冷侧上的主制冷通道125中。
离开冷蒸汽分离器21的液体流25在热交换器10中被冷却，并作为混合相流122离开热交换器，以下文所述的方式对其进行处理。
图2-7的系统示出了类似于上述那些的组件。
图1所示的系统利用膨胀器分离器24，其可以是带有集成蒸汽/液体分离器的液体膨胀器，或者其可以是与任何蒸汽/液体分离装置串联的液体膨胀器，以便随着压力降低将能量从高压LNG流20中提取出来。这导致LNG温度降低并产生终端闪蒸气体(end flashgas)(EFG)，由此，在相同MR功率下提供了改进的LNG生产以及改进的能耗/吨所产LNG。由液体膨胀产生的冷端闪蒸气体作为流26离开蒸汽/液体分离器24，并被送至主液化热交换器10的冷端，并通过引入额外的冷冻通道28而与热交换器整合，使得其有助于液化的总体制冷要求，从而进一步改进相同MR功率下的LNG生产，而无需对主热交换器10增加大量的资本成本。仅作为实例，EFG流26可具-254°F的温度和19psia的压力。
在图1的系统中，EFG制冷或者全部在热交换器10中回收或者可以部分回收，以最佳配合设备和工艺设计。热端闪蒸气体作为流32离开热交换器，并且在可选地经过压缩机31的压缩之后，能够再循环至工厂原料气，用作燃气涡轮机/工厂燃料35或者以任何其他可接受的方式处置。LNG液体膨胀器可与下面参考图1A所述的中温液体膨胀器一起使用或不与其一起使用。
图2系统为图1所示的EFG冷回收配置的可选方案。在该可选方案中，来自蒸汽/液体分离器36的EFG冷制冷流34被导向至冷回收热交换器38，在那里其与热高压混合制冷(MR)流或者来自MR压缩系统22的高压储存器43的流42进行热交换。高压MR流42利用来自流34的EFG冷却，然后经管线46和中温立管(中等温度立管)48(如图3中的管线49所示)或者可选地经由中温液体膨胀器52(如图2中的管线46所示)或冷立管54(如图2中的虚线管线51所示)返回至液化热交换器44的制冷通道55。一旦来自冷回收热交换器38的冷却的高压MR流被中温立管48或中温液体骤冷分离器52接收，其通过(图2的)管线57a和57b被输送到液化热交换器44的制冷通道55。
仅作为实例，图2的EFG流34可具有-252°F的温度和30psia的压力。
图1和2的冷回收方案可组合，如图2A所示。更具体而言，离开蒸汽/液体分离器58的EFG流56被分开，形成流62和流68，流62进入主热交换器66的制冷通道64，而流68进入冷回收热交换器72，以冷冻如上关于图2的系统所述的流经该冷回收热交换器72的MR流74。因此，冷EFG以最佳比例在主热交换器66和冷回收热交换器72两者中回收，以配合设备和工艺。流向流62和流68的EFG流56的部分可通过阀69来控制。
图3的系统显示了另一可选方案，用于EFG流75自蒸汽/液体分离器77以及蒸发汽(boil-off gas)(BOG)自LNG产品储罐76和其他来源的冷回收。在该配置中，BOG流78离开储罐76并行进至设置于冷回收热交换器82中的BOG冷回收通道80。或者，冷回收热交换器82可以具有单一共享的EFG和BOG通道、且EFG流75和BOG流78在进入冷回收热交换器82之前组合，如在图3中以虚线84所示。在任一种情况中，高压MR通过EFG和BOG冷却并如上所述用作制冷。
在可选实施方式中，参考图4，系统可利用LNG产品储罐88作为蒸汽/液体分离器，以从离开液体膨胀器94的液体产品流92获得EFG。应注意，焦耳-汤姆森(JT)阀可替换液体膨胀器94以冷却流。根据上面的描述清楚的是，液体膨胀器94接收来自主热交换器98的液体产品流96。因此，图4的系统提了EFG和BOG两者的冷回收，其中EFG分离自LNG储罐中的LNG，且EFG和BOG均通过流104被导至冷回收热交换器102。因此，流至冷回收热交换器102的高压MR流105被EFG和BOG冷却。
在图4的系统中，EFG和BOG流104被导向至压缩机106，在那里其被压缩至第一级压力。选择该压力，以便(1)为离开压缩机的流108提供适当的压力和温度，从而允许在冷回收热交换器102中的较高压降，并且降低成本；和(2)适于向该冷回收热交换器供应一温度，该温度使得离开的MR流112用作主热交换器98中的制冷剂。仅作为实例，离开压缩机106的MR流的压力和温度可以是-175°F和30psia。离开冷回收热交换器102的EFG和BOG流114可经压缩机116压缩并用作进料再循环118或燃气涡轮机/工厂燃料122或以任何其他可接受的方式进行处置。
如图5所述，图4的预热交换器压缩机106可省略，使得来自LNG罐88的EFG和BOG流104直接行进至冷回收热交换器102。因此，在冷回收热交换器之后仅发生EFG和BOG流104的压缩(经由压缩机116)。在其他方面，图5的系统与图4的系统相同。
返回至图1，可选的液体膨胀器分离器120通过管线117接收至少一部分高压中温MR制冷剂流122，液体膨胀器分离器120可以是具有集成的蒸气/液体分离器的液体膨胀器，或串联的两部件。该液体膨胀器从MR流提取功(work)、降低温度并且在离开液体膨胀器的MR流体经管线119行进至中温立管分离器128然后经流123a和123b加入热交换器制冷流125，以及改善循环效率。相应回路具有阀124和126。在阀126至少部分打开以及阀124至少部分闭合的情况下，液体膨胀器120与中温立管分离器128串联使用。
可选地，参考图1A，可使用带有集成蒸汽/液体分离器/液体泵的液体膨胀器分离器130(或者串联的三个组件)，以消除中温立管(图1的128)并提供单独的液体MR制冷流132和单独的蒸汽MR制冷流134，其加入热交换器136的制冷流135，以促进主热交换器136的适当的蒸汽/液体分布，而无需使用立管分离器。使用带有集成蒸汽/液体分离器/液体泵的液体膨胀器130，以便增加对液体流的压力(如在热交换器中通过喷射设备利用液体所要求的)，以及改善液体在热交换器内的分布。仅作为实例，离开泵130的液体流的压力和温度可以是-147°F和78psia。这降低了对船舶运动的灵敏度，而不会增加立管中的液体体积(高度)，因为在该构造中消除了立管。
图1(120)和图1A(130)的中温液体膨胀器可与图1(24)、图2(36)、图2A(58)、图3(77)和4(94)的LNG液体膨胀器一起使用或不与上面所述的图1(24)、图2(36)、图2A(58)、图3(77)和4(94)的LNG液体膨胀器一起使用。
现在将参考图6和7描述在主热交换器中液化之前从原料气中去除冷冻组分的系统和方法。尽管这些系统的部件示于剩下的图中，但是它们可用于本文公开的系统。此外，在液化之前用于从原料气去除冷冻组分的系统和方法可用于使用混合制冷剂的那些系统之外的液化系统。如图6所示，在任何预处理系统144之后，进料气流142在重质烃去除热交换器146中被冷却。然后经由JT阀或者，如虚线管线175所示，经由气体膨胀器/压缩机组152a/152b，降低出口流148的压力，并将其进料至洗涤塔或鼓154或其他洗涤(scrub)设备。如果使用膨胀器/压缩机组152a/152b，则管线148的气体膨胀器152a驱动管线175中的压缩机152b来压缩气体，其在主热交换器178中被液化。结果，膨胀器/压缩机组152a/152b通过降低管线148中的气体的压力以及增加管线176中的气体的压力而降低了主热交换器的能量需求。
如图6(和图7)182所示，温度传感器182与管线148连通，并控制冷却旁路管线186的旁路阀184。温度传感器182检测已冷却气流148的温度并将其与相关控制器(未显示)的设置进行比较，以便使进入洗涤塔154的流实现所需的温度或温度范围。如果流148的温度低于预设水平，则阀184打开，以引导更多流体经过旁路管线186。如果流148的温度高于预设水平，则阀184闭合，以引导更多流体经过热交换器146。作为替代方案，温度传感器182可位于洗涤塔(scrubcolumn)154中。如图7所示，旁路管线186可以可选地直接进入洗涤塔154的底部。图6中所示的旁路管线186和管线148的汇合点相比洗涤塔154的底部处于较高压力。结果，图7的实施方式提供了较低的旁路管线186出口压力，这提供了更精确的温度控制并允许使用较小的(且更经济的)旁路阀184。
经由回流流155使塔154回流所需的制冷通过(任选在JT阀226之后(图7)的)来自塔的返回蒸汽156来提供(返回蒸汽156在热交换器146中升温)，或者可选地通过来自液化压缩系统(通常以162表示)的混合制冷剂(MR)流例如158(图6)来提供，该混合制冷剂(MR)流也被导向至热交换器146。混合制冷剂流可来自162的任何压缩MR流或任何组合MR流。离开洗涤塔的流153尽管优选全部为蒸汽，但是含有在较高温度下液化的组分(与离开该塔顶部的蒸汽流156相比)。结果，经过热交换器146之后进入塔154的流155为两相，并且液体组分流进行回流。液体组分流流过回流液体组分通道，其仅作为示例可包括回流液体组分管线，该管线可在洗涤装置的外部(157)或内部，或者可以是下导管或者位于洗涤装置154内的其他内部液体分配设备。如上所述，液化压缩系统的操作可以如Gushanas等的共同拥有的美国专利申请公开号2011/0226008、美国专利号12/726,142中所述。当MR经由管道164在重质烃热交换器中初步冷却之后，使其在JT阀166上闪蒸，以向重质烃去除热交换器提供冷混合制冷剂流168。
通过控制混合制冷剂的沸腾压能够控制该混合制冷剂的温度。
将经由流172从洗涤塔154底部去除的组分返回至热交换器146，以回收制冷，然后送至另外的分离步骤，诸如通常以174所示的凝液汽提系统，或者送至燃料或其他处理方法。
然后将离开热交换器146且冷冻组分已去除的进料气流176送至主液化热交换器178，或者在包括膨胀器/压缩机的情况中，将其首先压缩，然后送至主热交换器178。
现在将参考图7描述在主热交换器208中在液化之前用于从进料气流去除冷冻组分的系统和方法。应理解，图7仅示出了液化系统的诸多可能选项之一，其总体以209表示。下面参考图7描述的去除冷冻组分的系统和方法可用于任何其他液化系统或方法(包括但不限于图1-6公开的那些)并且在一些情况下可合并于所述液化系统和方法内。
在图7的系统和方法中，流经管线210的进料气利用膨胀器212降低压力，膨胀器212连接至压缩机214或诸如制动器或发电机的其他装载装置。通过膨胀过程来冷却气体，然后使其在重质烃去除热交换器216中进一步冷却，然后送至洗涤塔或分离鼓218或其洗涤装置，以从进料气中分离冷冻组分。
任选地，可将原料气在膨胀器212之前经由加热装置222来加热，以增加通过膨胀器回收的能量，并因此提供额外的压缩功率。加热装置可以是热交换器或本领域已知的任何其他加热装置。
如图6中的实施方式，经由回流流223使洗涤塔回流所需的制冷通过来自塔的返回蒸汽224来提供，其在热交换器216中被加热之前经由JT阀226来进一步降低压力和温度，或者可选地通过流经由例如管线228来自液化压缩机系统(大体以227表示)的混合制冷剂(MR)来提供。混合制冷剂流可来自227的任何压缩MR流或任何MR流组合。进入塔218的流223为两相且液体组分流进行回流。液体组分流流经回流液体组分通道，其可包括仅作为示例的回流液体组分管线，该管线可在洗涤装置的外部(225)或内部，或者可以是下导管或者位于洗涤装置218内的其他内部液体分配设备。如上所述，液化压缩机系统的操作可以如授予Gushanas等的共同拥有的美国专利申请公开号2011/0226008、美国专利号12/726,142中所述。在混合制冷剂在重质烃热交换器中冷却之后，其在JT阀232上闪蒸，以向重质烃去除热交换器提供冷混合制冷剂。
通过控制混合制冷剂的沸腾压能够控制该混合制冷剂的温度。
所去除的组分在行进经过洗涤塔底部的冷冻组分出口之后可返回至热交换器216，以经由管线234回收冷制冷(cold refrigeration)，然后送至其他分离步骤，诸如如图7所述经由管线236至凝液汽提系统238，或者送至燃料或其他处置方法，且回收或不回收冷制冷。
然后将冷冻组分已去除的原料气流244，在膨胀器/压缩机的压缩机214中压缩之后，送至液化系统的主热交换器208。如果需要额外的原料气压缩，则可用下述代替膨胀器/压缩机：能够配合该膨胀器的压扩器、额外的压缩级(如果需要)，以及另一驱动器，诸如电动机246蒸汽涡轮机等。另一选择是简单增加与膨胀器驱动的压缩机串联的增压压缩机。在所有情况中，增加的原料气压力降低了液化所需的能量并改进了液化效率，这进而能够增加液化容量。
尽管已经显示和描述的本发明的优选实施方式，然而对于本领域技术人员显而易见的是，可在其中进行改变和修饰而不会背离本发明的实质，其范围由所附权利要求书限定。
