Abstract
The invention relates to a separation system and a separation method based on argon circulation refrigeration of nitrogen-containing methane-rich gas, wherein the separation system comprises a methane separation system and an argon circulation refrigeration system, after the nitrogen-containing methane-rich gas enters the methane separation system, the separated liquid methane enters a liquid methane-argon heat exchanger in the argon circulation refrigeration system, cold energy of the liquid methane is transferred to circulation argon, and the circulation argon is used for providing cold energy for a tower top condenser in the methane separation system, so that the cold energy recovery process is realized. The separation method is that the cold energy of the liquid methane is transferred to the circulating argon, and the circulating argon in turn provides cold energy for separating the liquid methane from the nitrogen-containing methane-rich gas. The separation system of the invention takes circulating argon as working medium, recovers the cold energy of methane and nitrogen of the separation system through a heat pump and a cold energy heat exchanger, supplements the cold energy through partial argon expansion refrigeration, and then utilizes the argon Joule-Thomson effect to improve the cold energy grade and then transmits the cold energy grade to the nitrogen-containing methane-rich gas separation system, thereby realizing high-efficiency separation with lower refrigeration energy consumption.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of product recovery in nitrogen-containing and methane-rich industrial tail gas, and relates to a nitrogen-containing and methane-rich gas separation system based on argon circulation refrigeration and a separation method.
Background
The refinery dry gas mainly comes from the processes of heavy oil catalytic cracking, delayed coking, hydrocracking, catalytic reforming and the like in petroleum processing, and the main components of the refinery dry gas comprise hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, ethylene, ethane, propane and the like, wherein the values of the hydrogen, the ethylene, the ethane and the like are higher. Ethylene is a high-value product, hydrogen can be recycled for hydrocracking or sold as a product, and light hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane and the like can be recycled for an ethylene device as high-quality cracking raw materials. However, most refineries use dry gas as fuel gas except for the fact that few refineries with associated ethylene units use ethylene feed recovery processes. The main components of the purge gas for methanol synthesis comprise hydrogen, nitrogen, methane and the like, part of manufacturers convert the purge gas into LNG through an expensive methanation process, and the other parts of the purge gas fuel gas are still used. The dry gas and the purge gas are directly used as fuel, and the low-value use of high-price products exists, so that the resource waste is caused.
The separation and recovery of the high-valence products in the dry gas usually adopts one or a combination of adsorption, absorption, membrane and cryogenic separation. The adsorption method utilizes the selective adsorbent to realize the cycle of adsorption and desorption through pressure and temperature changes, and a certain component which is relatively pure is obtained. For example, patent CN201410220850.2, hydrogen and ethylene in dry gas are recovered by light cold adsorption. The yield and purity of the adsorption method are relatively low, and the investment and occupation of the device are large. The absorption rule adopts solvent absorption to carry out selective absorption, and then the high-purity product can be obtained through rectification separation. For example, patent CN201410220882.2 and CN201410359774.3 respectively adopt butane, pentane, aromatic hydrocarbon or acetonitrile and other solvents to make selective absorption, and recover hydrogen and ethylene in the dry gas. Because of the solvent characteristics, the absorption has the defects of low selectivity and low separation yield, and cold energy is still required to be provided for precise separation, so that the application of the method is limited. The membrane separation realizes the separation of the components by utilizing the permeability difference of different components in the dry gas in the special membrane, and is suitable for recycling hydrogen in the dry gas with low pressure and low hydrogen content, but the purity is not high. The cryogenic separation generally uses methane and ethylene propylene propane as refrigerants, and the required low-temperature cold energy is obtained through the compression, condensation, throttling and expansion processes. The cryogenic separation can ensure the purity and high yield of the product, can obtain polymerization-grade ethylene for dry gas separation, and can improve the recovery rate of methane when used for purge gas separation, but the conventional cryogenic method has high operating pressure and high energy consumption, and the expensive refrigeration cost restricts the wide application of the method, so that the method is only suitable for large-scale treatment.
Natural gas is a high-quality environment-friendly fuel, and is transported in a Liquid (LNG) mode generally, the liquid cryogenic (normal pressure-162 ℃) is required to be changed into a gaseous state before the natural gas is combusted, and the gasification cold energy of the LNG is used for dry gas separation, so that the dry gas separation cost can be greatly reduced. The normal pressure gasification temperature of methane is only minus 162 ℃, and the methane is difficult to separate with nitrogen in dry gas or oilfield associated gas at the temperature in a high-definition way, so that the recovery rate of methane is low, and meanwhile, methane is entrained in light component hydrogen and nitrogen, so that the hydrogen recovery is influenced.
