Description
The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide condensation point analysis device, and more particularly, to a carbon dioxide condensation point analysis device that can analyze the condensation point of carbon dioxide according to carbon dioxide concentration or pressure while condensing gas containing carbon dioxide with liquid nitrogen. .
Lower methane gas sources, such as those produced by organic material corrosion, which are used as useful energy sources, include gases from landfills and anaerobic submergers that produce "biogas" consisting primarily of methane and carbon dioxide. Various traces of impurities, oxygen and nitrogen can also be included in the biogas, and both the methane and carbon dioxide components in the biogas are potentially valuable products if properly purified. Thus, there is a need to obtain the energy value of biogas while eliminating environmental and safety risks. Biogas from landfills and immersers have been attempted, but this methane gas source has not been used because of the problem of effectively purifying the gas, ie removing trace amounts of harmful substances, and then effectively separating carbon dioxide from the methane component. About ½ to ½ of the biogas stream resulting from anaerobic corrosion of organic matter is carbon dioxide.
Thus, the volumetric energy amount of the unrefined biogas stream is substantially less than that of pipeline natural gas. Thus, unrefined biogas cannot be introduced into gas pipelines or readily used in conventional installations without processing to remove carbon dioxide and other impurities in the gas mixture. A number of biogas source purification systems have been proposed. Separation systems based on membranes, pressure swing adsorption, temperature swing adsorption, chemical adsorption and cryogenic processes have all been reported. Each of these systems has the potential to successfully purify biogas where large volumes of biogas are available for processing or where final methane purity of up to 95% is acceptable.
The harsh, corrosive, continuous working environment at landfills limits the effectiveness of the system, requiring maintenance, maintenance, or chemical additives. Complex systems generally cost a lot of capital and maintenance. In principle, biogas can be cryogenically separated into its components using distillation techniques. Unfortunately, the distillation technique of biogas mixtures of carbon dioxide and methane is more difficult because of the many unique features of the phases present in the equilibrium mixture. Cryogenic separation can generally be subdivided into continuous and non-continuous (batch) approaches. Continuous cryogenic systems utilize areas or regions in which carbon dioxide and methane are continuously separated from each other through phase differences between components. For example, to achieve a purity of methane> 98% at a constant pressure of 700 psia or less, the solid CO 2 that is formed immediately must be separated from the mixture feed stream. Operation below the critical point of the mixture is required to maintain distinct phases to allow phase separation. The range of temperature and pressure values available for this conventional cryogenic distillation is quite limited.
Various prior art methods for cryogenic separation of carbon dioxide and methane have been taught. For example, AS Holmes, et al. (US Pat. No. 4,462,814) teaches methods and apparatus for avoiding carbon dioxide solid phase in a distillation process. In a process commonly called the Ryan-Holmes process, an alkane additive such as propane or butane is used to avoid solid CO 2 formation during liquid distillation-based separation. Butane or propane is separated from CO 2 after co-distillation from CH 4 and recycled to the distillation column. Heavy hydrocarbons (C 3+) are added to the feed stream to allow operation at reduced pressure and elevated temperatures without the formation of solid CO 2 . The addition of n-butane to the feed stream allows the distillation of the mixture to occur well in the liquid-vapor phase while eliminating solid CO 2 formation in the distillation column. In addition, the critical pressure of the mixture rises, resulting in a larger range of acceptable working pressures.
However, the Ryan-Holmes process has two significant limitations for biogas purification. First, system complexity leads to large capital costs and the inability to scale up to fewer feed streams. As mentioned above, this cost is a problem in landfill recovery systems. Second, this process requires the supply of propane or heavy alkanes that are not generally present in landfills.
More recently, Potts, Jr., et al. (US Pat. No. 5,120,338) teaches a process for separating multicomponent feed streams using distillation and controllable condensation zones. This approach differs from the Ryan-Holmes process in that solid carbon dioxide is formed in a controllable manner. This solid is melted and introduced into the liquid portion of the liquid phase. The third gas phase is rich in most of the volatile component, methane, allowing its separation. By careful control of the conditions of solid formation and gas-liquid distillation, the components can be separated into three streams. In essence, this system allows for the desired product purity to be achieved without avoiding the formation of solid carbon dioxide or the use of additives. The main limitation of this process relates to its quantity. The system complexity and cost of capital costs for biogas won two hundred a day for at least 3 ft economically used. This approach is too complex and too expensive to use with a small amount of gas.
A number of techniques are also taught that utilize some cooling with a second type of separation mechanism. For example, Sweeney, et al. (US Pat. No. 5,570,582), Soffer, et al. (US Pat. No. 5,649,996) and Ojo, et al. (US Pat. No. 5,531,808) indicate that the operation of the adsorption system is at ambient temperature. The process of increasing by working at the following temperature or cryogenic temperature is taught. Lokhandwala (US Pat. No. 5,647,227) teaches a method and apparatus in which a mixture of methane, nitrogen and at least one other component (carbon dioxide) is separated. This method uses cryogenic separation which is augmented by the membrane. This system does not depend on solid phase formation or distillation which affects the separation. This complex system also has the cost and complexity of limiting its use to landfills with biogas streams of approximately 2 million ft 3 or more per day.
In U.S. Patent No. 5,642,630, Abdelmalek, et al. Describe a method for treating and separating solid landfill gas which has been claimed to produce high liquefied natural gas streams, liquefied carbon dioxide streams and compressed natural gas streams. This patent teaches the use of four-stage compressors and three flash drums that produce pressures up to 1800 psia, the use of a plurality of recycle loops to obtain chemical additives and desired products. The complexity of the system and the associated capital costs limit its usefulness in small landfills.
U.S.A. In patent 4,681,612, O'Brien, et al. Describe a cryogenic separation system that produces a fuel-grade methane product stream and any carbon dioxide product stream. This approach relies on cryogenic distillation columns, where methane is more volatile, rich in methane in overhead products. Methane is further separated from overhead products with the use of selective membranes. The bottom product contains mainly carbon dioxide with impurities which can be further purified in separate purification columns and used as product streams as needed.
A second system using chemical additives was taught by Abdelmalek (U.S. Patent No. 5,642,630). This approach uses chemical absorption to aid separation.
As described above, various methods have been proposed for separating from a gas stream containing both carbon dioxide and methane to a high purity methane and a high purity carbon dioxide product stream.
Prior to the separation process such as cryogenic separation, it is necessary to analyze the condensation point of carbon dioxide due to the difference in concentration of carbon dioxide or the pressure change in methane gas containing carbon dioxide.
However, no suitable test device or system has been proposed to analyze this.
