Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for compressing and / or cooling and for purifying a water-rich carbon dioxide-containing gas. gas rich in carbon dioxide containing water.
  • the invention relates to
  • a gas rich in carbon dioxide contains at least 30% of carbon dioxide. All percentages in this document relating to purities are molar percentages.
  • the invention relates to a process for vaporizing the condensates produced during the compression and / or cooling of a gas rich in carbon dioxide.
  • the gas is then purified at subambient temperature.
  • the feed gas to be compressed and / or cooled and purified may come from a unit for producing hydrogen and / or carbon monoxide.
  • At least a portion of the vapor generated by the vaporization of the condensates is sent to the hydrogen and / or carbon monoxide unit burners.
  • Units producing hydrogen (H 2 ) and / or carbon monoxide (CO) by steam hydrocarbon reforming and / or partial oxidation also co-produce large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).
  • This CO 2 is essentially derived from the conversion of CO and steam into CO 2 and H 2. It is therefore possible to use a unit for capturing CO 2 by purification at subambient temperature (CPU) to purify, compress and export it in order to use it for the EOR ("Enhanced Oil Recovery” or Recovery Assisted by Petroleum) or for the sequestration of CO 2 .
  • a SMR Steam Methane Reforming
  • Methane Steam Reforming we can for example choose to install the CPU after the PSA H 2 , thus treating its waste gas particularly charged with CO2.
  • a CPU can also be used on light hydrocarbon partial oxidation units (POX) or AutoThermic Reforming Units (ATR).
  • POX light hydrocarbon partial oxidation units
  • ATR AutoThermic Reforming Units

Description

Appareil et procédé de compression et/ou refroidissement ainsi que de purification d'un gaz riche en dioxyde de carbone contenant de l'eau La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de compression et/ou de refroidissement ainsi que de purification d'un gaz riche en dioxyde de carbone contenant de l'eau.  The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for compressing and / or cooling and for purifying a water-rich carbon dioxide-containing gas. gas rich in carbon dioxide containing water.
L'invention concerne :  The invention relates to
un appareil et un procédé de compression et/ou de refroidissement ainsi que de purification d'un gaz riche en dioxyde de carbone contenant de l'eau et  an apparatus and method for compressing and / or cooling and purifying a carbon dioxide-rich gas containing water and
un appareil et un procédé de compression ainsi que de purification d'un gaz riche en dioxyde de carbone contenant de l'eau et  an apparatus and method for compressing and purifying a carbon dioxide-rich gas containing water and
un appareil et un procédé de refroidissement ainsi que de purification d'un gaz riche en dioxyde de carbone contenant de l'eau.  an apparatus and method for cooling and purifying a carbon dioxide rich gas containing water.
Un gaz riche en dioxyde de carbone contient au moins 30% de dioxyde de carbone. Tous les pourcentages dans ce document relatifs à des puretés sont des pourcentages molaires.  A gas rich in carbon dioxide contains at least 30% of carbon dioxide. All percentages in this document relating to purities are molar percentages.
En particulier, l'invention concerne un procédé de vaporisation des condensais produits lors de la compression et/ou du refroidissement d'un gaz riche en dioxyde de carbone. Le gaz est ensuite purifié à température subambiante.  In particular, the invention relates to a process for vaporizing the condensates produced during the compression and / or cooling of a gas rich in carbon dioxide. The gas is then purified at subambient temperature.
Le gaz d'alimentation à comprimer et/ou à refroidir et à purifier peut provenir d'une unité de production d'hydrogène et/ou de monoxyde de carbone.  The feed gas to be compressed and / or cooled and purified may come from a unit for producing hydrogen and / or carbon monoxide.
Au moins une partie de la vapeur générée par la vaporisation des condensais est envoyée vers les brûleurs d'unité de production d'hydrogène et/ou de monoxyde de carbone.  At least a portion of the vapor generated by the vaporization of the condensates is sent to the hydrogen and / or carbon monoxide unit burners.
Les unités de production d'hydrogène (H2) et/ou de monoxyde de carbone (CO) par reformage d'hydrocarbure à la vapeur et/ou par oxydation partielle coproduisent aussi de grandes quantités de dioxyde de carbone (CO2). Ce CO2 est essentiellement issu de la conversion du CO et de vapeur d'eau en CO2 et H2. Il est donc possible d'utiliser une unité de capture de CO2 par purification à température subambiante (CPU) pour le purifier, le comprimer et l'exporter afin notamment de l'utiliser pour l'EOR (« Enhanced Oil Recovery » ou Récupération Assistée du Pétrole) ou pour la séquestration du CO2. Dans le cas d'un SMR (« Steam Méthane Reforming » ou Reformage à la Vapeur de Méthane), on pourra par exemple choisir d'installer la CPU après le PSA H2, traitant ainsi son gaz résiduaire particulièrement chargé en CO2. Une CPU peut aussi être employée sur des unités d'oxydation partielle d'hydrocarbures légers (POX) ou des unités de Reformage AutoThermique (ATR). Units producing hydrogen (H 2 ) and / or carbon monoxide (CO) by steam hydrocarbon reforming and / or partial oxidation also co-produce large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). This CO 2 is essentially derived from the conversion of CO and steam into CO 2 and H 2. It is therefore possible to use a unit for capturing CO 2 by purification at subambient temperature (CPU) to purify, compress and export it in order to use it for the EOR ("Enhanced Oil Recovery" or Recovery Assisted by Petroleum) or for the sequestration of CO 2 . In the case of a SMR ("Steam Methane Reforming" or Methane Steam Reforming), we can for example choose to install the CPU after the PSA H 2 , thus treating its waste gas particularly charged with CO2. A CPU can also be used on light hydrocarbon partial oxidation units (POX) or AutoThermic Reforming Units (ATR).
Une unité de purification du CO2 à température subambiante (dit « CPU ») comprend a minima une étape de compression du gaz traité, une étape de séchage et au moins une étape à température subambiante dans laquelle le CO2 est séparé des autres composés.  A unit for sub-standard temperature ("CPU") CO2 purification comprises at least one step of compressing the treated gas, a drying step and at least one step at subambient temperature in which the CO 2 is separated from the other compounds.
L'étape à température subambiante peut être une condensation partielle ou de la distillation ou du lavage.  The step at subambient temperature may be partial condensation or distillation or washing.
L'étape de compression génère des condensais contenant essentiellement de l'eau, et du CO2 dissous dans l'eau mais aussi des impuretés issues de réactions parasites ayant lieu dans l'unité de production d'H2 et/ou de CO. Les impuretés les plus présentes sont alors surtout du méthanol, de l'ammoniaque et des aminés. Ces impuretés nécessitent la plupart du temps des traitements complexes. The compression step generates condensates containing essentially water, and CO2 dissolved in water, but also impurities from parasitic reactions occurring in the H 2 and / or CO production unit. The most present impurities are then mainly methanol, ammonia and amines. These impurities most often require complex treatments.
Dans FR-A-2999555, une solution est proposée pour intégrer ces condensais avec les condensais de l'usine de production d'H2 et/ou de CO sur laquelle le CO2 est capturé. Mais cette solution peut être impossible dans certains cas, spécialement dans les cas de modification d'un appareil existant où les équipements de traitement des condensais existants ne permettent pas toujours de traiter le débit supplémentaire issu de la CPU. De plus, les équipements qui permettent de traiter ces condensais sont très souvent opérés à très hautes pression (de l'ordre de 50 bara), alors que les condensais de la CPU seront à une pression bien moindre : entre 1 et 50 bara pour ceux issus de la compression et entre 1 et 5 bara pour ceux issus de la phase de la régénération du sécheur. Ainsi est-il nécessaire de pressuriser les condensais en les pompant pour être à la pression des équipements. Le sécheur de la CPU sera préférentiellement régénéré avec un fluide résiduel peu impacté par la présence d'eau résultant de la désorption de l'eau contenue dans les bouteilles d'adsorbant. Pour optimiser cette régénération, on utilise un fluide à basse pression. Dans ce cadre, le résiduaire de la CPU après détente (car envoyé aux brûleurs de l'unité de production d'H2 et/ou de CO) est tout indiqué. Or des condensais peuvent être générés lors de la phase de régénération, d'autant que l'on va souvent chercher à stabiliser la température du gaz issu de la bouteille en régénération en le refroidissant. Ces condensais seront donc à la pression de la régénération. L'invention permet d'éviter notamment l'emploi d'une pompe pour enlever les condensais du compresseur en traitant les condensais d'une manière nouvelle. In FR-A-2999555, a solution is proposed for integrating these condensates with the condensates of the production plant of H 2 and / or CO on which the CO2 is captured. But this solution may be impossible in some cases, especially in the case of modification of an existing device where the existing condensate processing equipment does not always allow to process the additional flow from the CPU. In addition, the equipment used to treat these condensates are very often operated at very high pressure (of the order of 50 bara), while the condensates of the CPU will be at a much lower pressure: between 1 and 50 bara for those from compression and between 1 and 5 bara for those from the regeneration phase of the dryer. Thus it is necessary to pressurize the condensates by pumping them to be at the pressure of the equipment. The dryer of the CPU will preferably be regenerated with a residual fluid little impacted by the presence of water resulting from the desorption of the water contained in the adsorbent bottles. To optimize this regeneration, a low pressure fluid is used. In this context, the residual of the CPU after relaxation (because sent to the burners of the production unit of H 2 and / or CO) is indicated. However, condensates can be generated during the regeneration phase, especially since it will often seek to stabilize the temperature of the gas from the regenerating bottle by cooling. These condensates will be at the regeneration pressure. The invention makes it possible in particular to avoid the use of a pump to remove condensates from the compressor by treating the condensates in a new manner.

l'eau condensée est à une pression plus élevée que le gaz ayant servi de gaz de régénération.  the condensed water is at a higher pressure than the gas that served as a regeneration gas.
Selon un autre objet de l'invention, il est prévu un procédé de production d'un gaz de synthèse et d'un gaz enrichi en dioxyde de carbone dans lequel on génère un gaz de synthèse dans une unité de génération de gaz de synthèse, on enrichit le gaz de synthèse en CO2 pour produire un gaz d'alimentation, on comprime et/ou refroidit et on purifie le gaz d'alimentation tel que décrit ci-dessus, et on envoie au moins une partie du débit de gaz humide vers l'unité de génération de gaz de synthèse.  According to another object of the invention, there is provided a process for producing a synthesis gas and a gas enriched in carbon dioxide in which a synthesis gas is generated in a synthesis gas generation unit, the synthesis gas is enriched with CO2 to produce a feed gas, is compressed and / or cooled and the feed gas is purified as described above, and at least a portion of the flow of the wet gas is sent to the synthesis gas generation unit.
On peut générer le gaz de synthèse par un procédé comprenant une étape de combustion de carburant. Dans ce cas, le débit de gaz humide est éventuellement envoyé à l'étape de combustion.  The synthesis gas can be generated by a process comprising a fuel combustion step. In this case, the flow of wet gas is optionally sent to the combustion step.
Le gaz humide qui est traité dans la CPU est habituellement utilisé comme carburant et envoyé aux brûleurs quand il n'y a pas de capture de CO2. L'eau qu'il contient est donc habituellement envoyée aux brûleurs d'une unité de production de gaz de synthèse. L'invention consiste à vaporiser les condensais et à les envoyer, avec le gaz résiduaire qui a servi à la régénération du sécheur, par exemple aux brûleurs. Pour ce faire, on va choisir d'utiliser un réchauffeur à la place de l'échangeur de refroidissement situé sur le gaz résiduaire ayant servi à la régénération du sécheur. On va ainsi préchauffer le gaz destiné à être brûlé et s'assurer qu'il n'y a plus d'eau sous forme liquide dans ce gaz. De cette manière, les pompes de condensais ne sont plus nécessaires.  The wet gas that is processed in the CPU is usually used as fuel and sent to the burners when there is no CO2 capture. The water it contains is therefore usually sent to the burners of a synthesis gas production unit. The invention is to vaporize the condensates and to send them, with the waste gas which was used for the regeneration of the dryer, for example the burners. To do this, we will choose to use a heater in place of the cooling exchanger located on the waste gas used to regenerate the dryer. This will preheat the gas to be burned and ensure that there is more water in liquid form in this gas. In this way, the condensate pumps are no longer needed.
Plus précisément, on va réchauffer le gaz résiduaire après régénération par le biais d'un réchauffeur à la vapeur, par le biais d'un réchauffeur électrique ou par le biais d'un réchauffeur utilisant une source de chaleur à suffisamment haute température pour vaporiser l'eau liquide issue du sécheur et pour surchauffer le gaz au dessus de son point de rosée. On réalise cette surchauffe pour plusieurs raisons : Specifically, the waste gas will be reheated after regeneration through a steam heater, through an electric heater, or through a heater using a sufficiently high heat source. temperature to vaporize the liquid water from the dryer and to overheat the gas above its dew point. We realize this overheating for several reasons:
• premièrement cela permet d'éviter la condensation de l'eau dans le tuyau allant de ce réchauffeur aux brûleurs (les condensais étant corrosifs, on peut garder les tuyaux en acier carbone si on surchauffe assez pour éviter leur formation) • firstly, it avoids the condensation of water in the pipe going from this heater to the burners (the condensates being corrosive, we can keep the carbon steel pipes if we overheat enough to avoid their formation)
• deuxièmement, cette surchauffe permet d'avoir suffisamment d'énergie disponible pour vaporiser par contact direct les autres condensais, ceux issus de la compression des fumées humides en entrée. On va ainsi utiliser un diffuseur de liquide dans le tuyau de gaz surchauffé à haute température, les gouttelettes sortant du diffuseur étant vaporisée. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire d'utiliser un vaporiseur dédié à ces condensais. • Secondly, this overheating makes it possible to have enough energy available to vaporise by direct contact the other condensates, those resulting from the compression of the input humid fumes. A liquid diffuser will thus be used in the superheated gas pipe at high temperature, the droplets leaving the diffuser being vaporized. It is therefore not necessary to use a vaporizer dedicated to these condensates.
La température en sortie du réchauffeur sera comprise entre 80 et 200°C et la température après la vaporisation en sortie de diffuseur sera alors comprise entre 60 et 180°C.  The temperature at the outlet of the heater will be between 80 and 200 ° C and the temperature after the vaporization at the diffuser outlet will then be between 60 and 180 ° C.
L'invention sera décrite en plus de détail en se référant à la figure qui montre un procédé selon l'invention.  The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the figure which shows a method according to the invention.
Un gaz de synthèse 1 est généré dans une unité de génération de gaz de synthèse par reformage G. L'unité G comprend une chambre de combustion alimentée par un carburant F. Le gaz de synthèse 1 subit une réaction et/ou une séparation dans une unité S pour augmenter sa teneur en CO2 pour former un gaz d'alimentation 3. Ce gaz d'alimentation 3 contenant au moins 35% de dioxyde de carbone et de l'eau est envoyé à un compresseur C1 où il est comprimé jusqu'à une pression de 10 bars. Ceci a pour effet de faire condenser une partie de l'eau qu'il contient. Alternativement l'eau peut être condensée en refroidissant le gaz d'alimentation, en le comprimant ou pas. Cette eau H est récupérée dans une conduite, éventuellement reliée à un refroidisseur R en aval du compresseur.  A synthesis gas 1 is generated in a synthesis gas generating unit by reforming G. The unit G comprises a combustion chamber fed with a fuel F. The synthesis gas 1 undergoes a reaction and / or a separation in a unit S to increase its CO2 content to form a feed gas 3. This feed gas 3 containing at least 35% carbon dioxide and water is sent to a compressor C1 where it is compressed to a pressure of 10 bar. This has the effect of condensing some of the water it contains. Alternatively the water can be condensed by cooling the feed gas, compressing it or not. This water H is recovered in a pipe, possibly connected to a cooler R downstream of the compressor.
Le mot « eau » couvre tout liquide composé majoritairement d'eau. L'eau peut contenir par exemple de l'acide carbonique, du méthanol dissous, des aminés dissoutes, de l'ammoniaque dissoute.  The word "water" covers any liquid composed mainly of water. The water may contain, for example, carbonic acid, dissolved methanol, dissolved amines, and dissolved ammonia.
II sera compris que si le gaz est déjà à la bonne pression, l'étape de compression n'est pas nécessaire et un simple refroidissement suffira pour condenser l'eau présente dans le gaz.  It will be understood that if the gas is already at the right pressure, the compression step is not necessary and a simple cooling will suffice to condense the water present in the gas.
Le gaz partiellement séché 7 est envoyé à une unité d'épuration E comprenant au moins deux lits d'adsorbant E1 et E2. Le gaz est épuré en eau dans le premier lit E1 par adsorption et ensuite est éventuellement recomprimé dans un autre compresseur jusqu'à 50 bars puis envoyé dans une unité de purification CPU dans lequel il est refroidi et séparé à température subambiante dans au moins un séparateur de phase et/ou dans une colonne de distillation et/ou dans une colonne de lavage. The partially dried gas 7 is sent to a purification unit E comprising at least two adsorbent beds E1 and E2. The gas is purified with water in the first bed E1 by adsorption and then is optionally recompressed in a Another compressor up to 50 bar then sent to a CPU purification unit in which it is cooled and separated at subambient temperature in at least one phase separator and / or in a distillation column and / or in a washing column.
L'unité de purification CPU produit un gaz ou un liquide enrichi en dioxyde de carbone 10 contenant au moins 95% de dioxyde de carbone. L'unité produit également un gaz sec résiduaire 1 1 appauvri en CO2 . Ce gaz résiduaire 1 1 sert de gaz de régénération pour l'unité d'épuration E et est envoyé au lit d'adsorbant E2 où il se charge en eau pour produire un gaz humide. L'épuration est effectuée en cycle de manière connue et pendant une partie du cycle le gaz 7 est séché dans le lit E1 et pendant l'autre partie dans le lit E2. Ceci permet le gaz 1 1 de régénérer le lit E2 quand le lit E1 adsorbe de l'humidité et de régénérer le lit E1 quand le lit E2 adsorbe de l'humidité.  The CPU purification unit produces a gas or a carbon dioxide enriched liquid containing at least 95% carbon dioxide. The unit also produces a waste gas 1 1 depleted in CO2. This waste gas 1 1 serves as a regeneration gas for the purification unit E and is sent to the adsorbent bed E2 where it is charged with water to produce a wet gas. The purification is carried out in a known manner in a cycle and during a part of the cycle the gas 7 is dried in the bed E1 and during the other part in the bed E2. This allows the gas 1 1 to regenerate the bed E 2 when the bed E 1 adsorbs moisture and regenerates the bed E 1 when the bed E 2 adsorbs moisture.
La composition du gaz humide 13 est :  The composition of the wet gas 13 is:
Le gaz humide 13 sortant du lit E2 (ou de E1 quand le lit E2 est en phase d'adsorption) à une pression entre 1 et 3 bars est réchauffé par le biais d'un réchauffeur à la vapeur, par le biais d'un réchauffeur électrique ou par le biais d'un réchauffeur utilisant une source de chaleur à suffisamment haute température pour vaporiser l'eau liquide issue de l'unité d'épuration (s'il y en a) et pour surchauffer le gaz au dessus de son point de rosée. La température du gaz réchauffé 15 en sortie du réchauffeur W sera comprise entre 80 et 200°C. The moist gas 13 leaving the bed E2 (or E1 when the bed E2 is in the adsorption phase) at a pressure between 1 and 3 bar is heated by means of a steam heater, through a electric heater or through a heater using a heat source at sufficiently high temperature to vaporize the liquid water from the purification unit (if any) and to superheat the gas above its dew point. The temperature of the heated gas at the outlet of the heater W will be between 80 and 200 ° C.
En aval du réchauffeur W, les tuyaux de transport du gaz 15 ayant servi à la régénération sont en acier carbone.  Downstream of the heater W, the gas transport pipes 15 used for the regeneration are made of carbon steel.
Ensuite le gaz 15 ayant servi à la régénération à entre 80 et 200°C est mélangé avec l'eau condensée H produite par la compression du gaz d'alimentation 3. L'eau condensée H à 10 bars est introduite dans la conduite de gaz 15 ayant servi à la régénération au moyen d'un diffuseur de liquide D. L'eau condensée est à une pression plus élevée que le gaz de régénération 15 donc aucune pompe n'est requise pour mélanger les deux fluides. Comme le gaz est surchauffé à haute température, les gouttelettes d'eau sortant du diffuseur D sont vaporisées. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire d'utiliser un vaporiseur dédié à ces condensais. Then the regeneration gas at 80 to 200 ° C. is mixed with the condensed water H produced by the compression of the feed gas 3. The condensed water H at 10 bar is introduced into the gas line 15 having served The condensed water is at a higher pressure than the regeneration gas, so no pump is required to mix the two fluids. As the gas is superheated at high temperature, the water droplets leaving the diffuser D are vaporized. It is therefore not necessary to use a vaporizer dedicated to these condensates.
La température du gaz 19 après la vaporisation en sortie de diffuseur sera alors comprise entre 60 et 180°C.  The temperature of the gas 19 after the vaporization at the diffuser outlet will then be between 60 and 180 ° C.
Le gaz humide 19 formé en mélangeant l'eau condensée H et le gaz 15 ayant servi à la régénération est envoyé à la chambre de combustion de l'unité de génération du gaz de synthèse. Il peut être envoyé indépendamment (débit 21 ) ou mélangé au carburant F (débit 21A).  The wet gas 19 formed by mixing the condensed water H and the gas used for the regeneration is sent to the combustion chamber of the synthesis gas generation unit. It can be sent independently (flow 21) or mixed with fuel F (flow 21A).
Dans cet exemple, le gaz de régénération 1 1 provient de l'unité de purification CPU. Or il est possible que le gaz de régénération vienne d'une autre source.  In this example, the regeneration gas 1 1 comes from the CPU purification unit. But it is possible that the regeneration gas comes from another source.
