Description

Description of the Related Art A Treatment System Liquefied Gas

The present invention relates to a liquefied gas processing system.

Liquefied natural gas (Liquefied natural gas), Liquefied petroleum gas (Liquefied petroleum gas) and other liquefied gas are widely used in place of gasoline or diesel in recent technology development.

Liquefied natural gas is a liquefied natural gas obtained by refining natural gas collected from a gas field. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with almost no pollutants and high calorific value. It is an excellent fuel. On the other hand, liquefied petroleum gas is a liquid fuel made by compressing gas containing propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10), which come from oil in oil field, at room temperature. Liquefied petroleum gas, like liquefied natural gas, is colorless and odorless and is widely used as fuel for household, business, industrial, and automotive use.

Such liquefied gas is stored in a liquefied gas storage tank installed on the ground or stored in a liquefied gas storage tank provided in a ship which is a means of transporting the ocean. The liquefied natural gas is liquefied to a volume of 1/600 The liquefaction of liquefied petroleum gas has the advantage of reducing the volume of propane to 1/260 and the content of butane to 1/230, resulting in high storage efficiency.

However, since the liquefied gas is kept in a liquefied state by increasing the pressure or lowering the temperature, it is important to secure the heat insulating property of the liquefied gas storage tank because the phase change due to external heat penetration is a concern. However, since the liquefied gas storage tank can not achieve perfect heat insulation, some of the liquefied gas stored in the liquefied gas storage tank is phase-changed into vapor gas, which is a gas, by heat transmitted from the outside.

When the internal pressure of the liquefied gas storage tank exceeds the pressure that can be tolerated by the liquefied gas storage tank, the liquefied gas storage tank The tank may be damaged.

Therefore, conventionally, in order to keep the internal pressure of the liquefied gas storage tank at a constant level, a method has been used in which the evaporation gas is discharged to the outside to lower the internal pressure of the liquefied gas storage tank, if necessary. Or the evaporation gas was discharged to the outside of the liquefied gas storage tank, and then liquefied by using a separate liquefaction device and then recovered again into the liquefied gas storage tank.

However, when the evaporation gas is merely discharged to the outside, a problem of contamination of the external environment may occur, and in the case of using the re-liquefaction device, there arises a problem such as a cost and manpower required for installing and operating the liquefaction device. Therefore, it is required to develop an effective treatment method of the evaporation gas generated by external heat penetration.

Hereinafter, the liquefied gas may be used to encompass all gaseous fuels generally stored in a liquid state, such as LNG or LPG, ethylene, ammonia, etc. In the case where the gas is not in a liquid state by heating or pressurization, . This also applies to the evaporative gas. In addition, LNG can be used to mean both NG (natural gas) as well as NG as a supercritical state for the sake of convenience. The evaporation gas generated from the LNG can be used not only as a gaseous evaporation gas, but also as a liquefied evaporation gas Can be used to mean including.

The liquefied gas storage tank 10 can store the liquefied gas and supply the liquefied gas through the liquefied gas supply line 21 to the pump 30 to be described later to drive the high pressure engine 20a to be described later. This liquefied gas storage tank 10 must store the liquefied gas in a liquid state, in which case the liquefied gas storage tank 10 may have the form of a pressure tank.

In the present embodiment, the evaporation gas generated from the liquefied gas stored in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is supplied to the evaporation gas compressor 50, which will be described later, through the evaporation gas supply line 22, Or as a fuel for a high-pressure engine 20a to be described later, or recovering the evaporation gas from the evaporation gas compressor 50 to be described later to the liquefied gas storage tank 10 via the evaporation gas remelting device 80 to be described later, The evaporation gas can be efficiently used.

The liquefied gas storage tank 10 may, for example, maintain an internal pressure of 1 bar to 3 bar or 1 bar to 10 bar, which, of course, may vary depending on the storage tank.

The engines 20a and 20b may be powered by liquefied gas or evaporated gas supplied from the liquefied gas storage tank 10 to generate power. At this time, the engines 20a and 20b may include a high-pressure engine 20a and a low-pressure engine 20b. For example, the high-pressure engine 20a may be a MEGI engine mounted on a ship, A dual fuel engine (DFDE).

As the pistons (not shown) inside the cylinders (not shown) reciprocate by the combustion of the liquefied gas, the crankshaft (not shown) connected to the pistons is rotated, and the crankshaft The shaft (not shown) to be connected can be rotated. Therefore, as the propeller (not shown) connected to the shaft rotates when the engine 20a or 20b is driven, the hull can move forward or backward.

Of course, in the present embodiment, the engine 20a, 20b may be an engine for driving the propeller, but it may be an engine for generating power or an engine for generating other power. That is, the present embodiment does not specifically limit the types of the engines 20a and 20b. However, the engines 20a and 20b may be internal combustion engines that generate driving force by combustion of liquefied gas.

The high-pressure engine 20a is supplied with pressurized supercritical liquefied gas through a pump 30 and a heat exchanger 40 to be described later to generate a driving force, The supercritical state of the evaporation gas may be supplied and the driving force may be generated. On the other hand, the low-pressure engine 20b is supplied with the evaporated gas pressurized by the evaporative gas compressor 50 to obtain the driving force. Here, the supercritical liquefied gas or evaporated gas to which the high-pressure engine 20a is supplied may be, for example, a temperature of 30 to 60 DEG C and a pressure of about 300 to 30 bar, and the supercritical state The evaporation gas may be, for example, at a temperature of 1 to 50 DEG C and a pressure of about 45 bar. The state of the liquefied gas or the evaporated gas supplied to the high-pressure engine 20a and the low-pressure engine 20b may vary depending on the state required by each of the engines 20a and 20b.

The low-pressure engine 20b may be a dual fuel engine in which a mixture of evaporation gas and oil is not supplied and the evaporation gas or oil is selectively supplied. This is to prevent the mixture of two substances having different combustion temperatures from being mixed, thereby preventing the efficiency of the low-pressure engine 20b from deteriorating.

Between the liquefied gas storage tank 10 and the engine 20a or 20b, a liquefied gas supply line 21 for transferring liquefied gas or an evaporation gas supply line 22, 23, 25 for transferring the evaporation gas may be installed have. The liquefied gas supply line 21 is provided with a pump 30 to be described later and a liquefied gas heat exchanger 40 to be described later so that the supercritical liquefied gas can be supplied to the high pressure engine 20a, The evaporation gas compressor 50 and an evaporation gas cooler 60 to be described later are provided on the lines 22, 23 and 25 to supply supercritical evaporation gas to the high pressure engine 20a or the low pressure engine 20b .

At this time, a liquefied gas or an evaporation gas supply valve (not shown) is installed in the liquefied gas or evaporation gas supply lines 21, 22, 23 and 25 at appropriate positions so that liquefied gas or evaporated gas is supplied to the liquefied gas storage tank 10 To the engines 20a and 20b in a stable manner.

The pump 30 is provided on the liquefied gas supply line 21 and pressurizes the liquefied gas discharged from the liquefied gas storage tank 10. The pump 30 may include a boosting pump 31 and a high pressure pump 32.

[ Further, the boosting pump 31 can extract the liquefied gas from the liquefied gas storage tank 10 to pressurize the liquefied gas. At this time, in consideration of the limit pressure that can be accommodated in the high-pressure pump 32, for example, It is preferable to pressurize the liquefied gas to the outside.

The boiling pump 31 may pressurize the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 to slightly increase the pressure and the temperature, The liquefied gas pressurized by the pressurizing device 31 may still be in a liquid state.

The high-pressure pump 32 can pressurize the liquefied gas discharged from the boosting pump 31 at a high pressure, so that liquefied gas can be supplied to the high-pressure engine 20a. The liquefied gas is discharged from the liquefied gas storage tank 10 and then primarily pressurized by the boosting pump 31. The high pressure pump 32 is operated to pressurize the liquefied gas in the liquid state primarily pressurized by the boosting pump 31 into 2 And can be supplied to the high-pressure engine 20a through the liquefied gas heat exchanger 40 to be described later.

At this time, the high-pressure pump 32 pressurizes the liquefied gas to a pressure required by the high-pressure engine 20a, for example, about 300 bar, and supplies it to the high-pressure engine 20a so that the high-pressure engine 20a produces power through the liquefied gas .

The high-pressure pump 32 pressurizes the liquid-state liquefied gas discharged from the boosting pump 31 at a high pressure, and supplies the liquid-phase gas to the supercritical state so that the liquefied gas has a higher temperature and a higher pressure than the critical point. . At this time, the temperature of the liquefied gas in the supercritical state may be relatively higher than the critical temperature.

Alternatively, the high-pressure pump 32 can pressurize the liquefied gas in the liquid state to a super-cooled liquid state by pressurizing it at a high pressure. Here, the liquefied gas in the subcooled liquid state is a state in which the pressure of the liquefied gas is higher than the critical pressure and the temperature is lower than the critical temperature.

Specifically, the high-pressure pump 32 pressurizes the liquid-state liquefied gas discharged from the booster pump 31 at a high pressure of about 300 bar, while the temperature of the liquefied gas is lower than the critical temperature, Phase state. Here, the temperature of the liquefied gas in the subcooled liquid state may be -140 캜 to -60 캜, which is relatively lower than the critical temperature.

The liquefied gas heat exchanger 40 can be provided on the liquefied gas supply line 21 between the high pressure engine 20a and the pump 30 and can supply the liquefied gas supplied from the pump 30 to the high pressure engine 20a, To a desired temperature. The pump 30 for supplying the liquefied gas to the liquefied gas heat exchanger 40 may be the high pressure pump 32 and the liquefied gas heat exchanger 40 may supply the liquefied gas in the subcooled liquid state or the supercritical state to the high pressure pump 32 ), And is supplied to the high-pressure engine 20a after being converted into a liquefied gas in a supercritical state at a temperature of 30 ° C to 60 ° C, while being maintained at a pressure of about 300bar.

The liquefied gas heat exchanger (40) may use electric energy or heat the liquefied gas using a heat transfer medium. Here, the heat transfer medium may be a glycol water, and the glycol water is a fluid obtained by mixing ethylene glycol and water. The fluid is heated in a medium heater (not shown) and cooled in a liquefied gas heat exchanger 40 And can be circulated. The liquefied gas heat exchanger (40) can heat the LNG using waste heat generated from a generator or other equipment provided on the ship.

The excess liquefied gas discharge line 211 may be connected to the liquefied gas supply line 21 between the liquefied gas heat exchanger 40 and the high-pressure engine 20a.

The surplus liquefied gas discharge line 211 is used when the liquefied gas supplied from the high-pressure pump 32 to the high-pressure engine 20a exceeds the amount required by the high-pressure engine 20a, or when the liquefied gas can not be transported downstream The pressure of the liquefied gas can be easily controlled by discharging the surplus liquefied gas to the outside through the excess liquefied gas discharge line 211 so that the liquefied gas is supplied to the high pressure engine 20a It is possible to stably supply the high-pressure engine 20a with pressure and protect the high-pressure engine 20a.

The evaporation gas compressor 50 pressurizes the evaporation gas generated and discharged from the liquefied gas storage tank 10 and supplies it to the low pressure engine 20b or the high pressure engine 20a through the evaporation gas supply lines 22, Or may be supplied to a gas combustion apparatus 70 or an evaporation gas remelting apparatus 80 to be described later. Pressurizing the evaporation gas to the evaporation gas compressor (50) is to increase the liquefaction efficiency of the evaporation gas. Evaporation gas increases the boiling point when the pressure rises, which means that it can be liquefied even at relatively high temperatures. Therefore, this embodiment can increase the pressure of the evaporation gas to the evaporation gas compressor 50, so that the evaporation gas can be easily liquefied.

A plurality of evaporation gas compressors 50 are provided on the evaporation gas supply lines 22 and 25 so that the evaporation gas can be multi-stage pressurized. When the evaporation gas is pressurized by the evaporation gas compressor 50, An evaporative gas cooler 60 may be provided between the plurality of evaporative gas compressors 50. In this case, The evaporative gas cooler 60 may be installed in the same number as the evaporative gas compressor 50 wherein each evaporative gas cooler 60 is provided downstream of each evaporative gas compressor 50 and is connected to an upstream evaporative gas compressor 50, So as to facilitate the operation of the downstream evaporative gas compressor (50).

For example, the plurality of evaporative gas compressors 50 may sequentially include five first to fifth compressors 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e based on the flow of the evaporative gas, The cooler 60 may also be provided with five first to fifth coolers 60a, 60b, 60c, 60d, and 60e sequentially based on the flow of the evaporative gas. It is needless to say that the first to fifth coolers 60a, 60b, 60c, 60d and 60e are provided downstream of the first to fifth compressors 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d and 50e, respectively. Although the first to fifth compressors 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e are limited to five, the number of the evaporative gas compressors 50 may be five or less The first compressor 50a may be the first evaporative gas compressor but the fifth compressor 50e does not mean the fifth evaporative gas compressor and is the last evaporative gas compressor among the plurality of evaporative gas compressors 50 And the second to fourth compressors 50b, 50c, and 50d do not refer only to the second to fourth evaporative gas compressors, but may be collectively referred to as a middle evaporative gas compressor among the plurality of evaporative gas compressors 50 . Similarly to the first to fifth compressors 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d and 50e, the first to fifth coolers 60a, 60b, 60c, 60d, It is of course also possible to express this as an intermediate evaporative gas cooler.

The evaporation gas supply lines 22, 23 and 25 are distinguished by an evaporation gas supply line 22, a low pressure evaporation gas supply line 23 and a high pressure evaporation gas supply line 25 for convenience of explanation , The role of providing the passage for supplying the evaporation gas is the same. Here, the evaporation gas supply line 22 may have one end connected to the liquefied gas storage tank 10 and the other end connected to the front end of the third compressor 50c, and the evaporation gas discharged from the liquefied gas storage tank 10 Pressure evaporation gas supply line 23 and the high-pressure evaporation gas supply line 25, respectively. The low pressure evaporation gas supply line 23 may be connected at one end to the evaporation gas supply line 22 between the second compressor 50b and the third compressor 50c and at the other end to the low pressure engine 20b, It is possible to provide a passage for supplying the low-pressure engine 20b with the evaporated gas in the low-pressure state. The high-pressure evaporation gas supply line 25 is connected to the rear end of the third compressor 50c at one end and connected to the high-pressure engine 20a at the other end, and supplies the evaporation gas at high pressure to the high- Pathway can be provided.

The evaporated gas generated in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is supplied to the first to fifth compressors 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d and 50e and the first to fifth coolers 60a, 60b, 60c, 60d and 60e Pressure engine 20b or the high-pressure engine 20a as fuel, and it is necessary to supply at the optimum temperature and pressure required by the respective engines 20a and 20b.

Hereinafter, various means for easily controlling the temperature or pressure of the evaporated gas supplied to each of the engines 20a, 20b will be described.

When the evaporation gas generated in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is supplied to the plurality of evaporation gas compressors 50 through the plurality of evaporation gas compressors 50 at a temperature required by the engines 20a and 20b, The evaporation gas is bypassed to the first evaporative gas cooler 60 provided downstream of the first evaporative gas compressor 50 in accordance with the temperature of the evaporative gas flowing into the evaporative gas cooler 50, The temperature of the evaporation gas can be easily controlled.

Specifically, one end of the evaporation gas bypass line 221 is connected to the evaporation gas supply line 22 between the first compressor 50a and the first cooler 60a, and the other end is connected to the first cooler 60a and the evaporator 2 compressors 50b of the evaporator 10. The evaporator 50 may be connected to the evaporator gas supply line 22 between the two compressors 50b. A temperature sensor 51 and a first temperature control valve 61 may be installed on the evaporation gas supply line 22 between the first compressor 50a and the first cooler 60a and the evaporation gas bypass line 221, A second temperature control valve 62 may be provided. Here, an apparatus including a vapor bypass line 221, a temperature sensor 51, a first temperature control valve 61, and a second temperature control valve 62 is referred to as a vapor gas bypass device (not shown) Can be named.

The evaporated gas generated in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is transferred to the second compressor 50b via the first compressor 50a and the temperature of the evaporated gas discharged from the first compressor 50a is detected by the temperature sensor 51 ). The first temperature control valve 61 is opened by the temperature sensor 51 and the second temperature control valve 61 is opened by the temperature sensor 51 when the second compressor 50b is operated, The temperature control valve 62 is closed so that the evaporated gas cooled by the first cooler 60a is transferred to the second compressor 50b. When the temperature of the second compressor 50b is checked and the temperature of the second compressor 50b is checked to be in a temperature range (below the first temperature range) in which the evaporation gas is not required to be cooled, the first temperature control valve 61 is closed by the temperature sensor 51 The second temperature control valve 62 is opened so that the evaporated gas passed through the first compressor 50a is bypassed through the evaporative gas bypass line 221 to be directly transferred to the second compressor 50b.

The temperature sensor 51 serves to open or close (or adjust the opening degree) the first temperature control valve 61 and the second temperature control valve 62 and controls the temperature of the evaporation gas discharged from the first compressor 50a The first temperature control valve 61 and the second temperature control valve 62 are preferably located on the evaporation gas supply line 22 upstream of the first temperature control valve 61 and the second temperature control valve 62. Therefore, The second temperature control valve 62 is preferably arranged in parallel.

In the above-described embodiment, the configuration has been described in which the evaporated gas is bypassed to the first cooler 60a in accordance with the temperature of the evaporated gas discharged from the first compressor 50a. However, The same can be applied to the downstream of each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth embodiments 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e. However, considering that the temperature of the evaporated gas discharged from each of the first to fifth compressors 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e may vary depending on the temperature of the flowing evaporated gas, the first compressor 50a When the evaporated gas generated in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is first introduced and the temperature of the introduced evaporated gas, for example, the liquefied gas stored in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is LNG liquefied gas, At this time, if the LNG evaporation gas is lower in temperature than necessary from the liquefied gas storage tank 10, the second compressor 50b is operated even if it is pressurized by the first compressor 50a, It is preferable to apply the above configuration to the first compressor 50a, thereby avoiding driving the first cooler 60a, thereby increasing the energy efficiency of the system.
