The primary heat exchanging unit 151, the pressurizing unit 153, and the secondary heat exchanging unit 155 may be provided in parallel according to the number of the storage tanks 10, the processing method, and the like, and the processing efficiency may be improved.

Here, a liquefied gas supply line L8 (see FIG. 8) for supplying the liquefied carbon dioxide fed from the storage tank 10 to the demand side 20 via the primary heat exchanging unit 151, the pressurizing unit 153 and the secondary heat exchanging unit 155 ) May be provided. The liquefied gas supply line L8 is provided with a liquefied carbon dioxide filter 170 to remove impurities contained in liquefied carbon dioxide through the treatment unit 150. [ The customer 20 may be, for example, a submarine reservoir, but may include various storage spaces for receiving and storing liquefied carbon dioxide from a ship.

As described above, the heat exchange is performed step by step through the primary and secondary heat exchangers 151 and 155 to maximize the performance of the heat exchanger 151 and 155, thereby achieving efficient operation. The heating medium used in the primary and secondary heat exchanging units 151 and 155 may include refrigerant (nitrogen, propane, propylene, ammonia, butane, butadiene or a mixture thereof), seawater, and the like.

The internal pressure of the storage tank 10 can be lowered in the process of processing the liquefied carbon dioxide stored in the storage tank 10 according to the conditions of the customer 20 and supplying it to the customer 20 through the liquefied gas supply line L8 have. This means that the pressure inside the storage tank 10 must be maintained in accordance with the set pressure, since the liquefied carbon dioxide may be solidified or rapidly vaporized and may affect the unloading of liquefied carbon dioxide.

For this purpose, the liquefied gas supply line (L8) in the former stage of the processing section 150 is controlled so that a part of the liquefied carbon dioxide supplied from the storage tank 10 to the customer 20 through the treatment section 150 is vaporized via the liquefied carbon dioxide vaporizer 135 And connected to the injection line L11 of the upstream end of the liquefied carbon dioxide vaporizer 135. The storage tank pressure maintaining line L12 is connected to the injection line L11. The vaporized liquefied carbon dioxide can be supplied to the storage tank 10 for maintaining the pressure inside the storage tank 10.

When the customer 20 is a submarine storage, a liquefied gas supply line (not shown) connecting the seabed storage due to low seawater temperature after unloading the liquefied carbon dioxide from the storage tank 10 to the customer 20 L8) may cause hydrate phenomenon. That is, ice may be generated in the liquefied gas supply line L8 and clogging may occur in the liquefied gas supply line L8.

A hydrate suppressing agent supply line L13 connecting the hydrate suppressing portion 160 and the liquefied gas supply line L8 at the rear end of the processing portion 150 from the hydrate suppressing portion 160 to the feed pump 162, The hydrate inhibitor may be supplied to the liquefied gas supply line L8. The hydrate inhibitor may include, for example, methanol, monoethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, and the like.

At this time, since the pressure inside the hydrate suppressing unit 160 is lowered by the supply of the hydrate inhibitor, it is necessary to keep the pressure inside the hydrate suppressing unit 160 constant according to the set pressure to smoothly supply the hydrate inhibitor .

For this purpose, the inert gas device 120 may provide an inert gas to the hydrate suppression unit 160 through the first hydrate suppression unit pressure maintaining line L14 in order to maintain the internal pressure of the hydrate suppression unit 160. Since the inert gas supplied by the inert gas device 120 is mainly composed of nitrogen, the possibility of fire and explosion of the hydrate suppression unit 160 is removed, the internal pressure is effectively maintained according to the set pressure, . Conventionally, the inert gas is discharged to the outside after being used for the deactivation operation, but the utilization of the inert gas can be enhanced through the embodiment of the present invention.

As another example, referring to FIG. 2, a second hydrate suppressing unit for maintaining the internal pressure of the hydrate suppressing unit 160 may include a second hydrate suppressing unit for maintaining evaporation gas of liquefied carbon dioxide from the storage tank 10 to the hydrate suppressing unit 160 A line L15 may be provided. Accordingly, utilization efficiency of the vaporized gas of liquefied carbon dioxide generated in the storage tank 10 can be increased to increase the operational efficiency.

On the other hand, there is a need to vaporize and discharge the liquefied carbon dioxide remaining in the storage tank 10 for the maintenance and maintenance work of the storage tank 10 after the liquefied carbon dioxide is supplied to the customer 20.

Referring to Figure 3, 1, the evaporated gas of liquefied carbon dioxide supplied from the storage tank 10 is compressed through the first compressor 141 to raise the temperature, and then the refrigerant is supplied to the storage tank 10, The evaporation gas can be returned to promote the vaporization of the liquefied carbon dioxide remaining in the storage tank 10. [ An evaporation facilitation line L16 may be provided for connecting the evaporation gas supply line L4 at the downstream end of the first compressor 141 and the recovery line L6 at the downstream end of the gas-liquid separator 147. [ The first compressor 141 is controlled such that the evaporated gas compressed through the first compressor 141 is supplied to the storage tank 10 through the evaporation facilitating line L16 and the recovery line L6 at the downstream end of the gas- And the cooling device 142 are closed and the second valve V2 provided in the evaporation promotion line L16 is controlled by a control unit (not shown) so that the second valve V2 is opened. The evaporated gas existing in the storage tank 10 may be discharged to the outside through a discharge line (not shown).

Hereinafter, a method for operating carbon dioxide using the carbon dioxide operating system 100 described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, liquefied carbon dioxide is stored in the storage tank 10 (S1). This process (S1) can be performed during berths.
