Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of driving at least one compression machine of an air distillation unit which supplies oxygen and / or nitrogen and / or argon to a industrial unit producing water vapor, this process being of the type in which, in steady state, the compression machine is driven at least in part by means of steam relief with production of external work, fed by steam water from said industrial unit, this vapor being introduced at an inlet of said expansion means.
  • Some industrial processes consuming oxygen and / or nitrogen and / or argon such as synthetic hydrocarbon production processes (so-called “Gas to Liquid” or “GTL” processes), are exothermic and generate water vapor.
  • the steam is generally valorized as a source of entrainment, via a steam turbine, of at least one compression machine of the distillation unit. of air that produces oxygen.
  • the steam turbine may be a back pressure turbine, escaping a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, or a condensing turbine, escaping a pressure below atmospheric pressure and associated with a water condenser, cooled by water or ambient air, and a water recycling pump to the steam boiler.
  • EP-A-0930268 discloses an air separation apparatus whose main compressor is coupled to an electric motor and a steam turbine which receives steam at two different pressures. During startup, the main compressor and the electric motor operate using electricity generated by a gas turbine.
  • US Patent 6058736 describes a method of compressing an air flow supplying an industrial unit. It uses a gas turbine to drive the main compressor in steady state and a steam turbine during startup of the industrial unit.
  • the invention aims to solve this problem in a particularly flexible manner, eliminating the electric motor.
  • the subject of the invention is a method according to claim 1 or 2.
  • the combined installation shown on the Figure 1 consists on the one hand of a GTL unit 1 which produces, among others, water vapor under high pressure in a line 2, and on the other hand an air distillation unit 3 which feeds unit 1 in gaseous oxygen gas HPGOX, via a line 4, and also in high pressure nitrogen gas HPGN, via a line 5 equipped with a nitrogen compressor 6.
  • a GTL unit 1 which produces, among others, water vapor under high pressure in a line 2
  • an air distillation unit 3 which feeds unit 1 in gaseous oxygen gas HPGOX, via a line 4, and also in high pressure nitrogen gas HPGN, via a line 5 equipped with a nitrogen compressor 6.
  • HPGOX gaseous oxygen gas
  • HPGN high pressure nitrogen gas
  • the unit 3 essentially comprises a first compression machine constituted by a main air compressor 7 (or, alternatively, by several compressors in parallel), a second compression machine constituted by an air booster 8 (or, in variant, by several boosters in parallel), and a cold box 9.
  • the latter essentially comprises an air distillation apparatus 10, for example a double column comprising a medium pressure distillation column and a low pressure distillation column coupled by a vaporizer-condenser, and a heat exchange line 11.
  • the compressor 7 and the booster 8 are mounted on the same shaft 12, coupled to a steam turbine 13 via a Coupling device disengageable 14.
  • the turbine 13 has two inputs: a high pressure inlet 15, located at the suction of the turbine, and a medium pressure inlet 16, located between the high pressure supply and the exhaust of the turbine .
  • the exhaust port of the turbine has been indicated at 17 at atmospheric pressure or at a pressure above or below atmospheric pressure.
  • the apparatus 10 produces liquid oxygen LOX under the low pressure, and this liquid oxygen is brought to the high production pressure by a pump 18, before being vaporized and reheated in the exchange line 11.
  • Apparatus 10 also produces gaseous nitrogen GN, under low pressure and / or under medium pressure, which is heated in the exchange line and then compressed at 6 to the high production pressure.
  • the atmospheric air, compressed at medium pressure at 7, is pre-cooled in an air or water pre-cooler 19, purified with water and CO 2 in an adsorption purification apparatus 20, and separated into two streams.
  • a first medium pressure air stream which is cooled at 11 to the vicinity of its dew point to be distilled at 10
  • a second air stream which is supercharged at 8 at a high pressure allowing the vaporization of the high pressure liquid oxygen in the exchange line.
  • Unit 3 further comprises an auxiliary boiler 21 which produces auxiliary steam at medium pressure in a line 22.
  • the latter provided with a valve 23, is connected to the medium pressure inlet 16 of the turbine 13 while line 2 is connected to the high pressure inlet 15.
  • the high pressure steam is at about 60 bars and the average pressure steam at about 15 bars.
  • a bypass 24 equipped with a valve 25 connects the inputs 15 and 16.
  • a medium pressure steam booster can be supplied to the inlet 16, as indicated in dotted lines.
  • the Figures 3A and 3B relate to the case where the auxiliary steam is at a pressure greater than that of the steam produced by the unit 1.
  • the first start step is ( Figures 1 and 3A ) to introduce the auxiliary steam at the inlet 15.
  • a second step shown in line mixed on the Figure 3A , the medium pressure steam, increasing flow, is introduced to the inlet 16, via the pipe 2, while the flow rate of the makeup steam is reduced correspondingly.
  • the compressor 6 can be coupled to the shaft 12, replacing the booster 8 or in addition.
  • auxiliary oxygen source for example a liquid oxygen storage tank
  • the unit 1 can be started with this oxygen.
  • the turbine 13 is then, at the start of the unit 3, fed a minority by the steam from the unit 1, and mainly by the auxiliary steam from the source 21.
  • the ratio is for example 30% - 70%.
  • the proportion of auxiliary steam gradually decreases, until the established regime, where it is a minority, especially less than 30% and, more preferably, less than 10%, or even zero.
  • the turbine may be composed of either a single body with two inputs that correspond to different inlet pressures, or two bodies each having an inlet. In the latter case, a body of the turbine is fed with steam from the industrial unit 1, and the other body by auxiliary steam. The two bodies of the turbine are then either mechanically interconnected or mechanically connected to the body of at least one compression machine of the air distillation unit.
