Definitions

  • LNG liquefied natural gas
  • a temperature of a little less than -160°C is required so that the gas can be stored at atmospheric pressure, or a little above.
  • the present invention relates to a medium-sized plant for methane gas liquefaction, the methane being collected from a low-pressure supply network.
  • the prior art includes methane liquefaction plants which comprise a compression unit, drawn by a suitable motor, and devices for generating the required frigories (for example turbines, Joule-Thompson valves) in which a suitable gas is used.
  • methane liquefaction plants which comprise a compression unit, drawn by a suitable motor, and devices for generating the required frigories (for example turbines, Joule-Thompson valves) in which a suitable gas is used.
  • These motors use relative energy sources, different to methane gas, and gases for generating the frigories, different to the gas to be liquefied, in the present case methane.
  • the aim of the invention is to obviate the drawbacks of the prior art by using a plant for liquefaction of methane gas that can realise small or medium-sized flows, the functioning of which is actuated using only methane gas collected from a supply network.
  • a further aim is to provide a plant for methane liquefaction that is functional and reliable and able to guarantee an average daily productivity of liquefied methane gas, for example 5 ⁇ 10 tonnes a day.
  • the plant of the invention is constituted by a first cryogenic section 200, a second cryogenic section 300 and a storage section 400.
  • 1 denotes a pipeline which collects a flow ⁇ N of methane at low pressure (3-4 bar) and ambient temperature (for example about 15°C).
  • a fraction of the network flow ⁇ N denoted by ⁇ F , supplies the gas motor M.
  • the remaining part ⁇ T of the network ⁇ N crosses a filter 2, precisely an adsorbent bed molecular filter which eliminates all damaging components from the flow ⁇ T (water, carbon dioxide, sulphurous compounds, etc.); a flow of purified methane ⁇ P reaches the filter outlet 2.
  • the comburent part ⁇ S of the above-mentioned damaging components goes to supply, together with the flow ⁇ F , the gas motor M which is supplied with a flow ⁇ M .
  • the motor M draws in rotation an intercooled reciprocating compressor 5 with four compression stages A, B, C, D, respectively a first, second, third and fourth.
  • the first stage (or first phase) of compression is supplied, at an inlet thereof, by the flow ⁇ P coming from the filter 2 and at the remaining inlet by a recycling flow ⁇ 2 (of which more in the following) coming from the first cryogenic section 200.
  • the flow ⁇ A in outlet from the first stage A is cooled by a first heat exchanger 11 (air cooler) and sent to one of the inlets of the second compression stage B; a further recycling flow ⁇ 4 (of which more in the following) arrives at the second inlet, coming from the first cryogenic section 200.
  • the flow ⁇ B in outlet from the second stage B (at a pressure of 33 bar) is cooled by a second heat exchanger 12 (air cooler) and sent to one of the inlets of the third compression stage C; a further inlet of the flow is supplied by a further recycling flow ⁇ 7 (of which more in the following) coming from the first cryogenic section 200.
  • the pressure at outlet from the third stage C is about 90 bar.
  • the flow ⁇ C in outlet from the third stage C is cooled by means of a third heat exchanger 13 and sent to the inlet of the fourth stage D.
  • the flow ⁇ or main flow in outlet from the fourth stage, is cooled by a fourth heat exchanger (or chiller) 14; this main flow has a pressure of about 250 bar and a temperature of -5°C.
  • the main flow ⁇ involves, in order, a first circuit C 1 , included in a first cryogenic exchanger 250 that is a part of the first cryogenic section 200 and, by means of a pipeline 17, a first Joule-Thompson valve 10.
  • the separator supplies two pipelines 18, 19 crossed by corresponding flows ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 , respectively a first and a second flow.
  • the first flow ⁇ 1 is at a pressure of about 33 bar and a temperature of about -96°C.
  • the second flow ⁇ 2 comprises traces of methane vapours and methane liquid; the second flow involves a second circuit C 2 of the first main cryogenic heat exchanger 250, by crossing which it yields frigories and therefore heats up; this leads to a passage of the methane vapours and the traces of methane liquids from the gaseous phase.
  • the second flow ⁇ 2 via the pipeline 18, is sent on to one of the inlets of the first compression stage A and thus to constitute a recycling flow.
  • the first flow ⁇ 1 is sent to the second cryogenic section 300 by means of the pipeline 19 which supplies a second Joules-Thompson valve 20 the function of which consists in further lowering both the methane pressure (about 15 bar) and the temperature thereof (about -15°C.
  • the first flow ⁇ 1 downstream of the second valve, is sent on to a second liquid-vapour separator 16 which carries out the same functions as the first separator 15, as it supplies two pipelines 21, 27 involved by the relative third and fourth methane flows ⁇ 3 , ⁇ 4 .
  • the fourth flow ⁇ 4 is sent into the first cryogenic exchanger 250, more precisely the third circuit C 3 comprised therein; the fourth flow ⁇ 4 renders frigories to the exchanger 250, and therefore heats up, which enables passage of any methane vapour traces and/or methane drops in the gaseous phase thereof.
  • the fourth flow ⁇ 4 in outlet from the exchanger 250, is sent on to one of the inlets of the second compression stage B to constitute a recycling flow.
  • the pipeline 21, crossed by the third flow ⁇ 3 supplies two pipelines 22, 23, at least one of which is regulated by regulating means 70, the function of which is to regulate the fifth and sixth flow rates ⁇ 5 , ⁇ 6 , which cross the pipelines.
  • the fifth flow ⁇ 5 is destined to be liquefied; for this purpose it is necessary to cool it further, at least down to -156°C, as well as reducing the pressure thereof (about 1.8 bar).
  • the above-mentioned cooling is actuated first by a second cryogenic heat exchanger 350 (located in the second cryogenic section 300) and lastly by a third Joule-Thompson valve 30 (see figure 2 ).
  • the second cryogenic exchanger 350 involves two circuits F 1 ,F 2 , being a fifth and sixth circuit, with the fifth circuit F 1 , crossed by the fifth flow ⁇ 5 .
  • the second circuit F 2 is crossed by a seventh flow ⁇ 7 which is the sum of the sixth flow ⁇ 6 and a flow of methane vapours ⁇ VM of which more in the following.
  • the flow ⁇ 6 is destined, in the exchanger 350, to provide the frigories for cooling the fifth flow ⁇ 5 ; for this purpose (see figure 2 ) a fourth Joule-Thompson valve 50 is included in the pipeline 23, which cools the sixth flow ⁇ 6 .
  • the flow ⁇ 7 enters the relative circuit F 2 at about -142°C, crosses it and heats up; it follows that the steam ⁇ VM threshold passes to the gaseous phase of the methane.
  • the seventh flow ⁇ 7 is directed, by means of a pipeline 24, into the fourth circuit C 4 of the first cryogenic exchanger 250 where it renders further frigories; at the outlet of the fourth circuit C 4 , the flow ⁇ 7 is sent to one of the inlets of the third compression stage C to constitute a recycling flow.
  • the fifth flow ⁇ 5 at the outlet of the second cryogenic exchanger 350 has a temperature and pressure that are respectively about -138°C and 15 bar.
  • the third Joule-Thompson valve 30 causes a further lowering of the temperature (up to - 156°C) and the pressure (about 1.8 bar) which causes liquefaction of the methane; flow ⁇ L .
  • the flow of liquid methane ⁇ L is conveyed into the storage station 400, precisely into a cryogenic tank 450 ( figure 2 ).
  • the methane vapours, flow ⁇ VM which are generated by the methane contained in the tank, are conveyed by means of a pipeline 34 into the sixth circuit F 2 of the second cryogenic exchanger 350 to constitute the seventh flow ⁇ 7 which has already been mentioned in the foregoing.
  • the first flow ⁇ 1 is about 39% of ⁇ ; obviously the recycling flow ⁇ 2 (the one sent to one of the inlets of the first stage A of the compressor 5) is 61 % of ⁇ .
  • the third flow ⁇ 3 is about 29.5% of the main flow ⁇ , while the recycling flow ⁇ 4 (sent to one of the inlets of the second compression stage B) is 9.5% thereof.
  • the flow ⁇ L of methane liquid is about 25.8% of the main flow, while the recycling flow ⁇ 7 (sent to one of the inlets of the third compression stage C) is about 3.7% thereof.
  • a flow of methane is collected from the supply network 1 thereof that is such as to reintegrate the liquefied methane and so as to enable supply to the gas motor 10.
  • the motor 10-compressor 5 group supplies the methane with the power required for circulating in the plant with the aim of cooling and liquefying an amount thereof.
  • the lowering of the methane to cryogenic levels is entrusted to the main flow ⁇ , first flow ⁇ 1 and fifth flow ⁇ 5 which are cooled following the crossing of the corresponding first 10, second 20 and third 30 Joule-Thompson valve.
  • the main flow ⁇ is also cooled by the first cryogenic exchanger 250 due to the frigories yielded thereto, more precisely the first circuit C 1 , from flows ⁇ 2 , ⁇ 4 , ⁇ 7 passing in circuits C 2 ,C 3 ,C 4 of the heat exchanger 250.
  • the fifth flow ⁇ 5 is cooled, upstream of the third Joule-Thompson valve, by the second cryogenic exchanger 250; the cooling is made possible by the accentuated cooling of the sixth flow ⁇ 6 by means of the fourth Joule-Thompson valve 50.
  • the plant of the invention comprises the above-mentioned power section 100, the first and second cryogenic section 300, 400 and lastly the storage section 400.
