Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for pre-processing compressed gas for separation in an air-gas or other gas-gas separation unit, such as and preferably by membrane filtering.
  • the arrangement includes a heat recovery arrangement for use with a compressor for gas, and to a method of recovering heat from compressor cooling fluid for regulating the temperature of the compressed gas before entering the gas separation unit.
  • air fed to the separation unit satisfies defined criteria.
  • the dew point of the air must be such as to avoid condensation.
  • the air must be filtered at an acceptable temperature to avoid aerosol and particle carry over.
  • the air must be at a suitable operating temperature for efficient membrane separation. This is especially important and the temperature must be regulated before entering the separation unit to achieve best possible operation of the separation unit.
  • the invention is concerned with heat recovery from the compressor cooling fluid for the continuous temperature regulation of the supply of air to satisfy these criteria.
  • the invention provides an arrangement for use with a liquid cooled and/or lubricated compressor for compressing gas, and incorporating provision to add liquid for cooling purposes to the gas prior to entry of the gas into the compressor, in which downstream of the compressor there is a liquid/gas separator to separate the liquid from the gas and in which there is means to recover heat from the liquid, and in which there is at least one filter in the gas stream downstream of the liquid/gas separator, and there is a heater in the gas stream downstream of the filter in which the gas is heated using heat recovered from the liquid, whereby to regulate the temperature of the pressurised gas prior to gas entry into the separator unit.
  • heat exchanger in the gas stream between the liquid/gas separator and the at least one filter, and in that heat exchanger cooling medium from an external source is used to cool the gas stream.
  • refrigerant dryer group arranged to cool the gas after the liquid has been separated from the gas, and before the gas is passed through the at least one filter.
  • the at least one filter may be a coalescing particle filter, or a carbon filter for removal of vapour from the cooling liquid.
  • the at least one filter may include two stage filtration, the first filter stage comprising a coalescing particle filter, and the second filter stage comprising a carbon filter for removal of vapour from the cooling liquid.
  • the invention includes the arrangement described above, in combination with a membrane gas separator unit arranged to receive gas from the heater using the heat recovered from the liquid prior to the liquid passing through the filter.
  • the invention includes the arrangement described above, in combination with a compressor for compressing the gas.
  • the compressor may be a screw compressor, and the screw compressor may be cooled or cooled and lubricated by oil or other suitable cooling liquid.
  • the invention also includes a method of recovering heat from a compressed gas from a liquid cooled and/or lubricated compressor, and comprising the steps of adding liquid for cooling purposes to a gas or directly into the compressor prior to the gas entering into the compressor, separating liquid from the gas after the gas has left the compressor, recovering heat from the liquid, passing the gas through at least one filter, and, downstream of the filter, using heat recovered from the liquid before the gas passed through the filter to heat the gas, whereby the regulate the temperature of the pressurised gas.
  • Performance of the separation process is dependent upon a relatively narrow range of operating parameters, particularly feed air temperature and pressure. It is for this reason that efficient conditioning of feed air supplied to the separator is important.
  • the specific embodiment of the invention described above includes efficient use of heat supplied to the air, arranges for filters for the compressed air to operate at near optimum conditions, and allows the separation membranes to function at near optimum air pressure, temperature and dryness. Use of heat withdrawn from the gas stream to reduce the gas temperature before the filters, to preheat the gas stream after the filters makes efficient use of the energy applied to the system.
  • the temperature regulation of the gas before entering the separation unit may in several prior art cases some from an external heating source. It is in some cases possible that additional heating from an external source may be required. The need is however reduced and in many cases eliminated by the invention.
  • the invention is especially suited for building a module based system (compressor, arrangement for conditioning of compressed gas, separation unit) where the conditioning module does not require an external heating source.
  • compressed air must be cooled down to remove liquid, the dew point temperature must be reduced in order to avoid liquid condensation, the air must be filtered at an acceptable temperature to avoid aerosol and particle carry over, and finally the air temperature must be increased to the operating temperature for membrane separation.
  • air for the compressor section is drawn in through an inlet filter 9 to a single stage oil cooled/lubricated screw compressor 10.
  • the compressed air with entrained oil passes to an oil/air separator 11, having a safety valve 12.
  • the air passes on through a compressed air aftercooler 14 (also known as a 'combicooler').
  • the aftercooler 14 comprises an integrated water cooled heat exchanger which also functions as a temperature control unit for the compressed air.
  • the air then passes through a combined water separator/refrigerant cooler/dryer 15. This reduces the dew point to approximately 15degC below inlet temperature, so that condensation will not occur further downstream.
  • the dryer 15 is equipped with a dedicated cooling medium recycling unit with evaporator, compressor and condenser.
  • the dryer 15 is not essential. However, if the dryer is dispensed with, the air from the compressor 10 will be at its saturation point after leaving the cooler 14. In this circumstance the temperature of the air must be increased to avoid condensation further downstream. A problem may arise in that the increased temperature might be beyond the limitations of the polymer membranes preferably used in the nitrogen separator section.
  • Air from the dryer 15 passes through a check valve 16 and a ball valve 16a.
  • the cooled air is now at a suitable temperature, pressure and dryness to pass through a coalescing particle filter 17 (for retention of oil aerosol carry over) and a carbon filter 18 (for removal of oil vapour). Elimination of the dryer 15 might also lead to inefficiencies in the filters 17 and 18 due to the higher operating temperatures.
  • the air After emerging from the carbon filter 18, the air passes through a feed air heater 19 to preheat the air for processing in the nitrogen separator section.
  • the feed air heater 19 increases the compressed air temperature to 45 - 50degC.
  • a control valve 21 regulates the air leaving the compressor section, and this air can be directed through a valve 22 to a duplex system (not shown) or through a valve 23 to the nitrogen separator section.
  • Oil from the oil/air separator 11 is led to a cooling heat exchange circuit. Cooling water from inlet 24 feeds the compressed air aftercooler 14 and an oil air/water heat exchanger 27 before leaving the compressor section by outlet 25. Oil from the oil/air separator 11 passes through a three way thermostatic valve 26 to enter the heat exchanger 27 or to return via inlet filter 9a to the compressor 10.
  • oil from the oil/air separator unit 11 can pass to an energy recovery unit 29 which is supplied with cooling water from a second three way thermostatic valve 28.
  • Water heated in the energy recovery unit 29 is carried past the filters 18 and 19, and is used to raise the temperature of the air in the feed air heater 19.
  • the filters 18 and 19 can operate at close to optimum temperatures, and the air can be preheated beyond those filters to enter the nitrogen separator section at a higher temperature which is suitable for operation of the separation membranes.
  • Drains 32, 33 and 34 lead from the refrigerant air dryer 15, the coalescing particle filter 17 and the carbon filter 18 respectively to an external drain valve 35.
  • Each separator consists of a bundle of hollow fibres contained in a metal housing.
  • the housing has three external connections 42, 43 and 44. One connection is located at each end of the housing leading to the entrance 42 and exit 43 to and from the bore sides of the fibres respectively, and one side connection 44 leads to the shell side of the fibres.
  • Each fibre consists of a composite layer of polymers. One relatively thick layer acts as a support, and the other layer (a thin film) functions as the separation controlling layer. At this stage it is important that the operation temperature does not exceed the maximum allowable temperature of the polymer.
  • Separation is effected by the selective permeation of the gases in air through the thin film of the composite polymer membranes. Nitrogen permeates at a slower rate than the other gases, and so nitrogen in the conditioned air entering at connection 42 passes along the bores and exits at the other end of the separator 43, while oxygen and other gases pass through the membranes, and are led through the separator's side connection 44 and so via a vent line to atmosphere.
  • the nitrogen separator section exit connection 43 is fitted with a product flow indicator 45, a flow control valve 46 and a pressure control valve 47.
  • Quality monitoring analysers are fitted in a quality monitoring group 48 forming no part of this invention.
  • Nitrogen produced in the membrane separator 41 is led to a product outlet 49, or, during start-up when the quality is fluctuating, can be led to a vent 50 which also allows the other gases to escape to atmosphere.
