Description

A kind of air separating method that utilizes liquefied natural gas
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of air separating method, specially refer to the air separating method that utilizes cold energy of liquefied natural gas.
Background technology
Before the present invention proposes, because the condensing temperature very low (critical-temperature is-140.7 ℃) of air comes the method and apparatus of separation of air just to require the external world to provide lot of energy to obtain suitable cold by rectifying at low temperatures.Liquefied natural gas (being called for short LNG) is promoted the use of as clean fuel.The Main Ingredients and Appearance of liquefied natural gas is a methane, and the evaporating temperature under the normal pressure is about-160 ℃.Liquefied natural gas is acted as a fuel when using, must and be heated to normal temperature liquefied natural gas gasifying.If the cold of liquefied natural gas is applied in the air-separating plant goes, all be the good thing of killing two birds with one stone still to the use of liquefied natural gas to air separation.
From safety, adopt nitrogen and liquefied natural gas to carry out the cold exchange.So the air separating method that utilizes cold energy of liquefied natural gas often adopts the mode of nitrogen circulation.In general, through overcompression and the clean raw air after purifying reach capacity by the cold exchange and enter rectifying column after temperature or part are with liquid.Rectifying column is by following tower, and last tower and condenser/evaporator are formed.Raw air carries out initial gross separation at the following tower of rectifying column, obtains oxygen-enriched liquid air in its bottom.After being drawn, this oxygen-enriched liquid air enters Shang Ta as phegma through crossing the cold-peace throttling expansion.Top at following tower obtains gas nitrogen, and by the condensation of liquid oxygen institute, condensed a part of liquid nitrogen becomes the phegma of tower down to part gas nitrogen, goes after another part liquid nitrogen is drawn from condenser/evaporator to converge with another strand liquid nitrogen in condenser/evaporator.Part gas nitrogen is drawn from the top of tower down, converges the nitrogen supercharging machine that enters with another strand nitrogen after the over-heat-exchanger re-heat, and the nitrogen that has improved pressure is gone into the liquefied natural gas heat exchanger through supercooling is laggard.Nitrogen is cooled or is condensed into liquid nitrogen in this heat exchanger, and liquefied natural gas obtains gasification in the liquefied natural gas heat exchanger and re-heat becomes natural gas and leaves to use it for anything else.The nitrogen that leaves heat exchanger enters gas-liquid separator through after the throttling expansion, the liquid nitrogen of separating merges with the liquid nitrogen of drawing from condenser/evaporator, passed through cold back small part and can be used as product and draw, major part is then sent into the phegma of tower as last tower through after the throttling.The gas nitrogen of separating converges the nitrogen supercharging machine that enters with the gas nitrogen through the heat exchanger re-heat of drawing from following tower after then returning the re-heat of liquefied natural gas heat exchanger, has finished nitrogen circulation.Tower bottom can obtain the gentle oxygen of liquid oxygen on rectifying column, can obtain returning polluted nitrogen (and nitrogen reflux) at the top.
In this air separating method, the supply of liquefied natural gas is a vital thing.The production process of air separation is the industrial processes that continuity is very strong, needs the maintenance long-term operation continuously, arbitrarily start-stop car and increasing and decreasing load significantly except having a power failure and breaking down.In case liquefied natural gas is under-supply, even stop air feed, will cause the production process of air separation that frequent increasing and decreasing load and start-stop car take place, the production process utmost point not Steady is fixed.The cost of unit product will rise significantly, and economic benefit of enterprises will descend significantly.
