Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to gas removal equipment, a gas removal vessel, and a method for removing gas from (a) tank(s)_ that removes fuel gas remaining in the tank(s).
- In the related art, heavy oil or gas oil has been used as fuel in vessels. In recent years, however, the number of vessels using fuel gas, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), as fuel is increasing from a viewpoint of environmental preservation (for example, refer to PTL 1). In such vessels, the fuel gas is stored in (a) tank(s) installed inside the vessel or on the vessel. When the fuel gas is equipped as cargo, a portion of the cargo may be used as fuel.
- [PTL 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No.
2010-23776 - When such a vessel enters a repair yard for periodic inspection, repair, or the like, in order to secure the safety of work using fire, such as welding, it is necessary to remove the fuel gas within the tank and to replace the inside of the tank with inert gas, and it is desirable to replace the inert gas with air (such a procedure is appropriately referred to as a gas removal procedure).
- In order to perform such a gas removal procedure on the fuel gas tank, it is necessary to equip devices required for the gas removal procedure in addition to devices for propelling the vessel, using the fuel gas as fuel. Therefore, a space for installing the devices for the gas removal procedure that is not always required for the vessel using the fuel gas as fuel should be secured for the vessel, and it is natural that cost is also required for that purpose.
- The invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide gas removal equipment, a gas removal vessel, and a method for removing gas from (a) tank(s), which can perform a gas removal procedure for the fuel gas from the tank, without causing problems, such as securement of an installation space and a rise in cost.
- Gas removal equipment related to a first aspect of the invention is gas removal equipment having portability capable of being equipped on a vessel using fuel gas as fuel. The gas removal equipment includes a gas compression section that compresses the gas extracted from the inside of (a) tank(s) of the vessel; a gas heater section that heats the gas extracted from the inside of the tank of the vessel; a gas combustion section that combusts the gas discharged from the inside of the tank by being gasified or the gas expanded in volume through heating in the gas heater section; and an inert gas supply section that delivers inert gas into the tank. At least one of the sections is housed in a casing.
- In such gas removal equipment, while the gas extracted from the tank is compressed and the compressed gas is returned to the tank, the gas is heated, whereby the liquid-phase fuel gas that remains within the tank is evaporated and the temperature of the tank is raised. Then, a portion of the gas that is gasified and expanded in volume is delivered into and combusted in the gas combustion section, and is discharged therefrom. Then, if the inert gas is delivered into the tank, the inside of the tank can be replaced with the inert gas.
- Here, at least one of the gas compression section, the gas heater section, the gas combustion section, and the inert gas supply unit may be provided, and a configuration in which some of the sections are excluded may be adopted according to equipment on the vessel side. The tank is, for example, a fuel tank.
- At least one of such a gas compression section, the gas heater section, the inert gas supply unit, and the gas combustion section can be easily equipped on a vessel using fuel gas as fuel, using cranes equipped on vessels or in ports, by being housed in the casing.
- Here, although the gas compression section, the gas heater section, the inert gas supply unit, and the gas combustion section are collectively housed in one casing, the gas compression section, the gas heater section, the inert gas supply unit, and the gas combustion section may be respectively housed in individual casings.
- When devices that can perform some functions of the gas removal equipment are equipped on the vessel side, things other than the devices may be housed in the casing and equipped on the vessel. In this case, if the gas compression section, the gas heater section, the inert gas supply unit, and the gas combustion section are individually housed in the casings, only casings that house required devices may be selected and equipped on the vessel.
- The gas removal equipment may further include a water spray device that sprays water onto the casing. Accordingly, the casing can be cooled, and fire prevention performance can be enhanced. Here, as for water, it is preferable to pump and use sea water around the vessel, using a pump or the like.
- Additionally, a gas-detecting device may be provided within the casing, and actuation of the tank is stopped when the gas is detected using the gas-detecting device. This increases safety.
- A gas removal vessel related to a second aspect of the invention includes gas removal equipment having portability that removes fuel gas within (a) tank(s) of a vessel using the fuel gas as fuel; and a barge having the gas removal equipment equipped thereon and being capable of approaching the vessel.

Asuction pipe 25A connected to a suction side of thecompressor 22, adischarge pipe 26 connected to a discharge side of thecompressor 22, and an inertgas suction pipe 25B that allows inert gas to be suctioned therethrough using thecompressor 22 are respectively provided in thecasing 21 so as to penetrate from the inside of thecasing 21 to the outside thereof. - Since the safety of the
drive motor 23 is improved if the drive motor has explosion-proof specifications, it is preferable. - The
gas heater unit 30 has, in a container-like casing 31, agas heater 32, and acontrol panel 34 that controls the operation of thegas heater 32. Asuction pipe 35 connected to a suction side of thegas heater 32, and afirst discharge pipe 36A and asecond discharge pipe 36B connected to discharge sides of thegas heater 32 are respectively provided in thecasing 31 so as to penetrate from the inside of thecasing 31 to the outside thereof. - The
gas combustion unit 40 has, within a container-like casing 41, agas combustion furnace 42, ablower 43 that sends combustion air into thegas combustion furnace 42, and acontrol panel 44 that controls the actuation of thegas combustion furnace 42 and theblower 43. Asupply pipe 45 that allows gas to be delivered into thegas combustion furnace 42 therethrough, and agas discharge pipe 46 that allows the exhaust gas of thegas combustion furnace 42 to be discharged therethrough are respectively provided in thecasing 41 so as to penetrate from the inside of thecasing 41 to the outside thereof. - The inert
gas supply unit 50 has, in a container-like casing 51, aninert gas generator 52 that generates inert gas, such as nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide, aninert gas tank 53 in which the inert gas generated by theinert gas generator 52 is stored, and acontrol panel 54 that controls the actuation of theinert gas generator 52 and theinert gas tank 53. An inertgas delivery tube 55 that allows the inert gas to be delivered therethrough from theinert gas tank 53 is provided in thecasing 51 so as to penetrate from the inside to the outside. Here, as theinert gas generator 52, for example, inert gas generators of types, such as a type in which nitrogen gas that is inert gas is generated by separating carbon dioxide (CO2) using an absorber and separating oxygen through low-temperature separation, a membrane separation type, and a type using a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) method, can be appropriately used. - All of the
casings gas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50 are formed to have structures, sizes, and strengths such that the casings can be hoisted and moved by hoisting equipment, such as cranes provided on vessels or in ports, and more preferably have suitable sizes, that is, minimum sizes such that excessive margins are not provided for devices to house the casings. - The "container-like" means that the outer periphery of each of the
casings casings casings casings - Additionally, gas-detecting
devices casings gas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, and thegas combustion unit 40, and are adapted to output abnormal signals to thecontrol panels devices control panels - Additionally,
water spray devices casings casings gas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50. Thewater spray devices casings nozzles - In order to perform a gas removal procedure in (a) fuel gas tank(s) 110 of the
vessel 100 using thegas removal equipment 10 as described above before thevessel 100 arrives at a repair yard, work is performed through the following flow. - First, a liquid-phase portion of fuel gas within the
tank 110 is bled by apump 111 provided in thetank 110 of thevessel 100. Since the liquid remains below a suction port of thepump 111 within thetank 110 even after the liquid is bled, this liquid is removed by thegas removal equipment 10. - For this purpose, the
gas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50, which are housed by the respective casings, are hoisted using a crane or the like, and are installed on adeck 112 of thevessel 100. Then, thesuction pipe 25A of thegas compression unit 20 and thefirst discharge pipe 36A of thegas heater unit 30 are connected to thetank 110 of thevessel 100 viapipes discharge pipe 26 of thegas compression unit 20 and thesuction pipe 35 of thegas heater unit 30 are coupled together via apipe 93. Moreover, thesecond discharge pipe 36B of thegas heater unit 30 and thesupply pipe 45 of thegas combustion unit 40 are coupled together via apipe 94. In addition, the inertgas delivery tube 55 of the inertgas supply unit 50 and the inertgas suction pipe 25B of thegas compression unit 20 are coupled together via apipe 95. Additionally, achimney 70 is connected to thegas discharge pipe 46 of thegas combustion unit 40. Here, since thegas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50 are housed in the container-like casings gas heater unit 30 at an upper portion of thegas compression unit 20, and a three-dimensional arrangement in an up-down direction is also allowed. For this reason, it is possible to suitably arrange these units in a limited space, such as on thedeck 112. - Thus, a procedure for removing gas is executed as follows by controlling the operation of the respective units using the
control panels gas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50 after the respective units of thegas removal equipment 10 are installed. - First, the
compressor 22 of thegas compression unit 20, thegas heater 32 of thegas heater unit 30, and thegas combustion furnace 42 are actuated. Accordingly, after gas in a gas-phase portion of the fuel gas within thetank 110 is suctioned from thepipe 91, and asuction pipe 25A on the suction side of thecompressor 22, and this gas is compressed using thecompressor 22, the gas is delivered into thegas heater 32 through thedischarge pipe 26, thepipe 93, and thesuction pipe 35. In thegas heater 32, the gas compressed using thecompressor 22 is heated and gasified. The heated and gasified gas is returned to the inside of thetank 110 via thefirst discharge pipe 36A and thepipe 92. If the above operation is continued, the gas within thetank 110 circulates through thecompressor 22 of thegas compression unit 20, and thegas heater 32 of thegas heater unit 30, while passing therethrough and is gradually heated. Accordingly, a liquid-phase component of the fuel gas that remains within thetank 110 is gradually gasified. - Since the volume increases as the fuel gas is gasified, the fuel gas equivalent to the volume increase is delivered into the
gas combustion unit 40 through thesecond discharge pipe 36B, thepipe 94, and thesupply pipe 45 from thegas heater 32 of thegas heater unit 30. - In the
gas combustion unit 40, the fuel gas delivered from thegas heater unit 30 is mixed with the air taken in from the outside by theblower 43 within thegas combustion furnace 42, and this mixture is combusted. The exhaust gas generated as the fuel gas is combusted using thegas combustion furnace 42 and is discharged to the outside through thegas discharge pipe 46 and thechimney 70. - By performing the above processing continuously, the fuel gas within the
tank 110 is gasified and is removed from the inside of thetank 110. Additionally, the temperature of thetank 110 also rises. - Thereafter, the inert gas generated using the
inert gas generator 52 of the inertgas supply unit 50 is delivered into thecompressor 22 through the inertgas delivery tube 55, thepipe 95, and the inertgas suction pipe 25B of thegas compression unit 20 from theinert gas tank 53. In thecompressor 22, the delivered inert gas is compressed (when the inert gas generated using theinert gas generator 52 has a required pressure, inert gas compression using thecompressor 22 may not be performed), and is delivered into the tank 110 (when the inert gas generated using theinert gas generator 52 has a required temperature, inert gas heating using thegas heater unit 30 may not be performed) through thegas heater unit 30. If the inert gas is sent in this way, the gas-phase component of the fuel gas that remains within thetank 110 is pushed out. By continuing such delivery of the inert gas into thetank 110, the inside of thetank 110 is replaced with the inert gas from the fuel gas. Here, the fuel gas pushed out from thetank 110 by the inert gas is combusted by thegas combustion unit 40 as described above. - Thereafter, the inert gas within the
tank 110 can also be further replaced with air. - By equipping the
gas removal equipment 10 on thevessel 100 as described above, even in thevessel 100 that is not provided with devices for performing the procedure for removing gas, the fuel gas within thetank 110 can be removed by equipping thegas removal equipment 10. Accordingly, it is possible to perform a gas removal procedure in thefuel gas tank 110 on thevessel 100 side, without causing problems, such as securement of an installation space and a rise in cost. - Additionally, the respective devices including the
gas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50, are housed in thecasings casings - In addition, the
gas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50 can be easily handled using a crane or the like by including thecasings - Meanwhile, in the above embodiment, the
gas removal equipment 10 is configured to include thegas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50. However, all of these units are not necessarily equipped on thevessel 100. For example, when the compressor is used for thevessel 100 side in advance, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50 excluding thegas compression unit 20 are equipped on thevessel 100 as thegas removal equipment 10. Additionally, when thevessel 100 is provided with an inert gas generation device, the abovegas removal equipment 10 excluding the inertgas supply unit 50 is equipped on thevessel 100. In addition to this, units excluding some units of thegas removal equipment 10 may be equipped on thevessel 100 according to devices built into thevessel 100 side. - In the
gas removal equipment 10 of the above embodiment, thegas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50 are unitized according to functions. Therefore, necessary minimum units can be selected and equipped according to equipment on thevessel 100 side. - Additionally, in the above embodiment, the
gas removal equipment 10 is configured to include thegas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50. However, it is also possible to make these units into one unit. In that case, as described above, when some of the functions of thegas removal equipment 10 are provided on thevessel 100 side, some functions may not be actuated in thegas removal equipment 10. - In short, The invention illustrated in the above embodiment is a method for removing fuel gas on a vessel in which the
gas removal equipment 10 having portability stored in the casing is equipped on thedeck 112 of thevessel 100, thegas removal equipment 10 and a fuel gas pipe system on thevessel 100 side are connected together, and the fuel gas on the vessel is removed. - In the above embodiment, the
gas compression unit 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50 that constitute thegas removal equipment 10 are respectively equipped on thedeck 112 of thevessel 100 by a crane. However, as illustrated inFig. 3 , the gas removal vessel may be configured by equipping thegas compression units 20, thegas heater unit 30, thegas combustion unit 40, and the inertgas supply unit 50 on adeck 201 of a barge vessel (barge) 200. In this case, the respective units that constitute thegas removal equipment 10 are connected together in advance, similar to those illustrated inFig. 2 . - Also, when the procedure for removing the fuel gas is performed, the
barge vessel 200 is made to approach thevessel 100, thegas compression unit 20 and thegas heater unit 30 of thegas removal equipment 10 on thebarge vessel 200 are connected to thetank 110 of thevessel 100 via thepipes -
