Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an installation and a system for treating a gas mixture by permeation.
  • Membrane gas separation is a technique widely used by the chemical industry, which has been particularly developed over the last 25 years. Depending on the nature and structure of the membrane used (polymer, ceramic, dense or porous), different mechanisms of transport and separation are involved.
  • Molecular sieving is a technique that consists of separating gases present in mixture, using a difference in kinetic radius of the molecules to be separated.
  • a microporous membrane is used which, under the effect of a difference in concentration or of partial pressure on either side of the membrane, allows the molecules with the smallest kinetic radius to diffuse preferentially and retains more the molecules of higher size.
  • the membrane is used as molecular sieve, implementing a steric exclusion process ("pore size exclusion"), which inhibits or delays the diffusion of large molecules, thus promoting the diffusion of size the weakest.
  • pore size exclusion a steric exclusion process
  • adsorption phenomena on the surface of the membrane and / or in its pores
  • Selective permeation gas mixture separation plants comprise separation modules each comprising a permselective membrane separating a non-permeate zone or a retentate zone and a permeate zone.
  • a separation module generally includes several membranes. It will be noted that the geometry of the membranes can also vary. There are essentially two types of membranes: flat membranes and tubular membranes. The tubular membranes may be single-channel or multichannel (made for example in the form of a monolith).
  • the separation module has a feed inlet, a retentate outlet and a permeate outlet.
  • the separation module In order to separate a gaseous mixture, the separation module is charged with a stream of the mixture at a pressure P1 by means of a feed. There is then a pressure difference between the two sides of the membrane.
  • the permeate is enriched by constituting the most permeable while the - constituent is essentially on the non-permeate side.
  • a retentate is recovered at a pressure P1 and at the outlet of permeate a permeate at a pressure P2 less than P1.
  • transmembrane gas separation technique is very advantageous, especially insofar as it is modular and can be used in a continuous mode.
  • it is a non-polluting technology and allows the construction of compact units.
  • it constitutes a very interesting alternative to other separation processes, such as cryogenic or adsorption processes, with respect to which it proves to be simpler to implement and less expensive.
  • this technique has, in practice, many fields of application.
  • it is used for the separation of O 2 and N 2 from air, for the extraction of H 2 and N 2 in NH 3 production gases, or of H 2 in effluents with hydrocarbon base such as those resulting from refining processes, or else to remove CO 2 or NOx in various gaseous effluents.
  • FIG. 1 shows an installation for treating a gas mixture by permeation 1 comprising:
  • the retentate output of each module is connected to the permeate input of the next module.
  • the common collector pipe 6 groups all the flows of permeate passing to the user. The more permeable compounds are recovered mainly in the permeate and the less permeable ones are recovered in the retentate.
  • the enrichment portion 12 comprises three separation modules 15 to 17 and three compressors 18 to 20.
  • the extraction portion 13 comprises three separation modules 21 to 23.
  • the permeate at the outlet of each separation module is compressed and used to feed the next separation module. This compression is an essential step in order to be able to inject the permeate into the inlet of the next separation module since the permeate at the permeate outlet is at a pressure lower than its inlet pressure.
  • the retentate output of each separation module directly feeds the next separation module.
  • the number of stages (here three) in the enrichment part as in the extraction part depends on the desired purity. However, the implementation of the installation 1 1 according to the article
  • the disadvantage of this configuration is a relatively low production of pure product. Indeed, there is a large production of side products that are not used (L 1 to L 3 for the enrichment part and L'-i to U 3 for the extraction part). Thus the final product obtained, P for the enrichment part 12 and R for the extraction part 13, represents only a small fraction of the feed F.
  • the installation 100 comprises: an input separation module 102 with a main supply input F,
  • the retentate output of the separation module 102 is connected to the supply input of the separation module 103.
  • the permeate output of the separation module 102 is connected to the supply inlet of the separation module 101 via the compressor 104.
  • the retentate output of the separation module 103 is connected to the main supply input F via the compressor 105.
  • the feed F is divided into only two final products, the permeate P (corresponding to the permeate output of the separation module 103) and the retentate R (corresponding to the retentate output of the separation module 101).
  • This installation makes it possible to increase the production of pure product compared to a cascade configuration without recycling.
  • the present invention aims at providing an installation for treating a gas mixture by permeation making it possible to obtain products of high purity while avoiding losses related to side products, said installation also having a relatively low cost. not very high and offering the possibility of treating gas flows with low concentrations of impurities.
  • the invention proposes an installation for treating a gaseous mixture by permeation comprising m * n separation modules P, j5 m and n being natural numbers greater than or equal to 2, i being a variant integer from 1 to m and j being a natural integer varying from 1 to n, each of the separation modules P 1J comprising:

  • the gaseous mixture treatment plant can be represented as a matrix having m lines of separation modules (corresponding to m enrichment stages constituting the most permeable, passing successively from a permeate outlet to the next permeate inlet) and n columns of separation modules (corresponding to m enrichment stages constituting less permeable passing successively from a retentate outlet to the next permeate inlet).
  • each separation module can be either a unitary module (ie with a single permeate inlet, a single retentate outlet and a single permeate outlet) as described above or a combination of modules. units mounted in parallel (ie a power supply which separates to feed each of the inputs of the unit modules and the outputs of unit modules connected to each other).
  • the flow of permeate leaving a separation module is reused as part of the supply of the separation module of the next step.
  • This allows to continue to separate the compounds in successive steps without using compressors.
  • the installation according to the invention does not require intermediate recycling with compressors between each permeation step: this absence of compressors of course leads to a significant economic advantage.
  • it is desired to purify a gas i.e. separate the gas from less permeable impurities and present in said gas
  • it is desirable that the membrane has a good permselectivity with respect to the gas to be purified in order to concentrate the impurities.
  • the number of steps is a function of the desired concentration of impurities: thus, the greater the number of steps, the lower the concentration of impurities in the permeate.
  • the number of steps and stages is a function of the desired purity (for both retentate and permeate) and the amount of product to be recovered.
  • the number m of steps may be different from the number n of stages.
  • the subject of the present invention is also a system for treating a gaseous mixture by permeation comprising at least one installation according to the invention, the system being represented by a matrix structure Mij with p rows and q columns comprising p * q elements Mij, i being a natural integer varying from 1 to p and j being a natural integer varying from 1 to q, Mij being either a separation module Pij or an empty element, each of said separation modules P 1J comprising:
