Description of the Invention (1) — The present invention discloses the removal of stupid gas from a methane-based gas stream through a single concentration or stripping process. Other aromatic systems And / or methods of heavier hydrocarbon components and combined devices. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The freezing and liquefaction of general gaseous materials is used for the purpose of component separation, purification, storage 'and to transport the component in a more economical and convenient form. Most of these liquefaction systems usually have many operations, regardless of the gas contained Why, and because of the code, have many of the same questions. One of the problems commonly encountered in liquefaction processes (especially when containing aromatics) is the precipitation and subsequent solidification of these species in the process equipment, resulting in reduced process efficiency and credibility. Another general problem is the removal of a small amount of a relatively cheaper ' higher molecular weight chemical from the gas stream before the major part of the gas stream is liquefied. According to this, the present invention will make special reference to the description of natural gas processing, but can be used to process gas in other systems that need to overcome similar problems. The ordinary operation of natural gas processing in the technology is to freeze the gas and separate the molecular weight of natural gas from methane Hydrocarbons, thus producing better than methane t-line gas; and C2 + streams for other purposes. Usually, the stream will be separated into separate component streams, for example, C2, c3, C4 & C5 +. Freezing natural gas to liquefy it for general transportation and storage. The main reason for liquefied natural gas is that liquefaction leads to a reduction in volume to about 1/600, which makes it possible to transport this liquefied gas in a more economical and operationally designed container. For example, when gas flooding is transported from a supply source to a long-distance market, the pipeline is expected to operate with a certain and high load factor in quality. Usually, the transportation capacity or capacity will be required for operation, but -4 (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). The paper size of the paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (cns). A7 printed by the Bureau's Consumer Cooperatives ------------- B7 V. Description of Invention (2)-At other times, the transportation capacity of the pipeline may be required. In order to clear the demand beyond the supply peak, when the supply exceeds the demand, excess gas needs to be stored in a transportable way, so that the peak of future demand can be consistent with the stored material. This is done-the actual device is to convert the gas into a storable liquefied state 'and then vaporize the liquid as required. When the source is far from the market and the pipeline is not used or unusable, it is possible to transport it from the supply source to the market, so it is more important to know the liquefaction of natural gas. This is particularly necessary when it is necessary to ship by sea. Shipping in a gaseous state is often impractical. • Since pressurization is required to significantly reduce the specific volume of gas, more expensive storage containers are required. In order to store and transport natural gas in a liquid state, the natural gas is preferably cooled to -24 F to -260 T, at which time it contains a vapor pressure of near atmospheric pressure. Natural gas liquefaction Most systems exist in the pre-scientific technology. The gas system sequentially passes the gas through many cooling stages under high pressure. At this time, the gas is cooled to a lower temperature until the liquefaction temperature is reached. Cooling is usually accomplished by heat exchange with one or more coolants, such as propane, propylene, ethane, ethylene, and methane, or a combination of one or more of the foregoing. In the art, coolants are often arranged in a stepwise manner, and each coolant is used in a closed cooling cycle. Further cooling of the liquid may occur by expanding the liquefied natural gas to atmospheric pressure in one or more expansion stages. In each stage, the liquefied gas is flashed to a lower pressure, so a two-phase gas-liquid mixture is produced at significantly lower temperatures. The liquid is recovered and can be flashed again. In this way, the liquefied gas is further cooled to near-atmospheric pressure, subject to the storage or transport pressure of the liquefied gas storage. Expansion to near atmospheric pressure flashes an additional volume of liquefied gas. Flash steaming in the expansion stage-5- This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) M specification (2f〇X297mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). Installation. Nail line 426665, 4 A7 __.______ B7_ V. Description of the invention (3) The gas is generally collected by the JL cycle for liquefaction, or used as fuel gas for power generation. As mentioned before, the main operation problem of natural gas liquefaction is to remove the residual amount of benzene and other aromatic compounds from the natural gas stream immediately before the main part of the gas stream is liquefied, and this component precipitates and solidifies, resulting in pipelines and main processes. Equipment and congestion. As an example, such a blockage can significantly reduce the heat transfer efficiency and output of the heat exchanger ' especially the plate-fin heat exchanger β for technical and economic reasons ' does not require complete removal of impurities such as benzene. However, its viscosity needs to be reduced. Removal of pollution from nature * can be achieved by the same type of cooling used in the liquefaction process, where the pollution is condensed according to its individual condensation temperature. Except for the fact that the gas needs to be cooled to a lower temperature for liquefaction, the basic cooling technology is the same as for liquefaction and separation, except for the separation of benzene pollution. According to this, for the residual benzene, it is only necessary to cool the natural gas to the temperature of the condensed part-gas. This can be formed in a freeze separation tower contained at an appropriate point in the LNG recovery process to separate the condensed benzene from the main gas stream. Printed by the Shellfish Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In the effective operation of the attention of the frozen separation tower, it is necessary to use the condensed liquid at the freezing temperature to be drawn from the tower for the warm and dry gas flow entering the cold elephant separation tower Heat exchange. However, the problem with this heat exchange process is caused by the excessive temperature difference between the two flows supplied to the heat exchanger. Because the actual temperature difference may exceed 100 times, the thermal shock of the heat exchanger may be damaged or the service life of the heat exchanger device composed of general materials will be shortened. The heat exchanger control. Another problem in dealing with the methane-rich air flow is the lack of the main part of the paper. -6-This paper χ 赖 " Lai Zhongguan Household Materials (CNS) (210x297 male thin) ~~ 426665 A7 -------------- __—__ B7 V.

Description of the Invention (8) _ For simplicity and clarity, the following restrictions will be limited to the cooling and cooling of natural gas streams, the process of the present invention for manufacturing liquefied natural gas, Device. More specifically, 'the following description will be directed to the removal of benzene and / or other aromatics and / or high molecular weight hydrocarbons (polycarbons) in a liquefaction process using a cascade refrigeration cycle. However, the applicability of the invention and its apparatus described herein is not limited to the use of a cascade refrigeration cycle or a liquefaction system that does not process natural gas streams. This process and its equipment are used in any circulation system, including methane-based gas streams that can block or close process equipment, especially benzene and / or polycarbons used to condense the flow of heat exchangers Aromatic, or (b) for some reason, higher molecular weight hydrocarbons need to be removed and recovered from a methane-based gas stream. Liquefaction of natural gas streams Leng Kang Gongwei has various forms; the most effective and useful is step operation, and this type is combined with expansion cooling. Moreover, because the liquefied natural gas (LNG) manufacturing method includes the separation of hydrocarbons whose fraction is greater than pinane as its first part, the convergence of LNG refrigeration manufacturing workers can effectively describe similar removal of C2 + hydrocarbons from natural gas streams.

Description of the invention (9) However, in the sequence of the cycle, 'the refrigerant with a higher boiling point is used first, then the refrigerant with a medium boiling point is used', and finally the refrigerant with the lowest boiling point is used. A pretreatment device is a device that removes unwanted components such as acid gas, mercaptan, mercury, and moisture from a natural gas feed stream that is delivered to the device. The composition of this gas stream can vary significantly. As used herein, a natural gas stream is any stream that primarily includes methane produced from a major portion of a natural feed stream that includes, for example, at least 85 vol% methane, with the remainder being ethane, higher hydrocarbons, nitrogen , Carbon dioxide and minor amounts of _, such as mercury, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans. The pre-treatment step may be a separation step flowing above the Rochor cycle or below one of the early stages of cooling in the initial cycle. The following is an unlisted part of the equipment available for those skilled in the art to use immediately. Acid gas and less mercaptans are removed together by using an aqueous amine-containing solution. This processing step is generally carried out above the cooling stage used in the initial cycle. The main part of the water system is cooled after the liquid flows under the gas compression and the initial cooling cycle and under the first cooling stage of the initial cooling cycle, and the β-mercury system is removed by two-phase gas-liquid separation. The absorbent bed removes β residual water and acid gas at one time through the use of an appropriately selected absorbent bed, such as a renewable molecular sieve. The process of using an absorbent bed is generally located in the first cooling stage of the initial cooling cycle. Downstream flow_ The natural gas stream obtained is usually transported to the liquefaction process under high pressure, or compressed to high pressure. The history of this high pressure: the force is greater than 500 psia, preferably about 500 to about 900 psia, more preferably about 550 to about 675 psial Even more preferably about 575 to about 650 psia, and most preferably about 600 psia. The flow pressure is generally close to or slightly higher than normal temperature. Typical temperature ranges are from 60 ° F to 120T. -12- The size of this paper is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 × 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page)-Pack. Order 4126665 Printed by A7, Consumers Cooperative of Central Standard Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs B7 V. Description of the invention (10) As mentioned earlier, the natural gas flow at this point is still in many multi-stages (such as three stages), or with many refrigerants, preferably three are connected by heat exchange cooling. For a given cycle The overall cooling efficiency can be improved when the number of stages is increased, but this increase in efficiency is achieved by a relative increase in net capital cost and process complexity. The feed gas is preferably first sealed by using a relatively high boiling point refrigerant The effective number of freezing stages in the freezing cycle is usually two stages, preferably two to four stages, and most preferably three stages. The main part of this refrigerant preferably includes Cd'propylene or its mixture, and more It is preferably propane, and it is preferable that the refrigerant basically contains propane. Subsequently, the feed gas of the process flows through the effective number of stages in the second closed refrigeration ring, generally two stages, preferably two to four stages, and more it is good The second or third stage is heat exchanged with a refrigerant having a lower boiling point. The refrigerant preferably comprises a major portion of ethane, ethylene or a mixture thereof, more preferably ethylene, and most preferably the refrigerant contains substantially ethylene. Each of the cooling stages listed above for each refrigerant includes a separate cooling zone. Throughout the natural milk feed stream will contain (: 2+ component amounts in one or more of the cooling stages that result in the formation of a liquid rich in C2 +. This liquid system is removed by gas-liquid separation equipment, preferably one or more gas-liquid separators. Generally, the continuous cooling of natural gas in each section is controlled, so as much as possible to remove C2 and higher from the gas Molecular weight hydrocarbons to produce a first gas stream mainly methane 'and a second liquid stream containing significant amounts of ethane and multi-carbon components. An effective amount of gas / liquid separation equipment is located at the planned location for flow under the cooling zone In order to remove the liquid stream rich in C2 + components, the correct position of the gas / separator will depend on the number of operating parameters considered by those skilled in the operation of LNG plants and gas plant operators, such as the C2 + composition of the natural milk feed stream.

Description of the Invention (11) ‘: ~~: BTU content in other applications, C2 + component 値 for other applications, and other factors. Hydrocarbons or streams can be demethanated via a single stage flash or fractionation column. In the former case, the gas stream containing methane can be returned directly to the liquefaction process under pressure. C 2 + hydrocarbon streams or streams or deoxane-derived c 2 + hydrocarbon streams can be used as fuel or can be further processed, such as fractionation in one or more fractionation zones, to make specific chemical rich ( For example, C2, C3, q and c5 +) flow separately. In the final stage of the second cooling cycle, the main part of the gas stream, which is mainly methane, is condensed (i.e. liquefied), preferably all.

The process pressure at this position is only slightly lower than the pressure of the feed gas in the first stage of the first cycle. The liquefied natural milk flow is further cooled in the third step or cycle through one of two specific examples. In a specific example, the liquefied natural gas stream is indirectly heat-exchanged with a second closed and closed refrigeration cycle, where the condensed gas stream is passed through the number of effective stages, generally 2; preferably 2 to 4; and It is preferably 3 low-temperature cooling, and the cooling is cooled by a third refrigerant having a lower boiling point than the refrigerant used in the second cycle. This refrigerant preferably comprises a major portion of the torrefaction 'and most preferably is mainly methane. In a second and preferred embodiment using an open methane refrigeration cycle, the liquefied natural gas stream is cooled in a main methane economizer 'in a manner described below by contact with flash gas at low temperature. In the fourth cycle or step, the liquefied gas is cooled by the expansion and separation of the flash gas of the self-cooling liquid. In the method to be described, the nitrogen and condensed products removed from the system are part of this step or separated. -14- This paper applies the Ningguo National Standard (〇 阳) 6 4 specifications (210 parent 297 mm) {Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page}.

Description of the invention (12 ) " The main factors that distinguish between a closed cycle and an open cycle are the initial temperature at which the liquefied stream flashes to near atmospheric pressure, the relative amount of flash steam generated during the flash, and the nature of the flash steam. Therefore, the main part of the flash steam is recycled to the methane compressor in the open cycle system, and the flash steam in the closed cycle system is generally used as fuel. In the fourth cycle or step of the open or closed cycle pinane system, the liquefied product is expanded at least once, preferably two to four times, and more preferably three times (where Joule-Thomson is used for each expansion) (Hydraulic expander) cooling 'followed by separation of gas and liquid products with a separator. When using a hydraulic separator and proper operation, the greater the efficiency of power recovery, the greater the temperature at which the flow is reduced 'and the less steam generated in the flashing step is often more cost effective, even with the capital generated by the expander And operating costs. In a specific example of use in an open circuit system, the additional cooling of the high-pressure liquefied product prior to flashing may be through one or more hydraulic expanders. A part of this flow is flashed first, and then it is carried out by using a heat exchange device between the flash flow, and the high pressure liquefied stream is cooled before flashing. The flashed product is recycled back to the appropriate location for the open methane cycle (based on temperature and pressure considerations). The liquid products prepared to enter the fourth cycle are at about 600 pSia. The preferred flash pressures for the three-stage flash process are about 19061 and 14.7 psia. In the open loop and loop system, the steam to be flashed or surplus in the nitrogen separation step and the flash to be expanded in the expansion flash step are used as the coolant in the third step or the ring.

Invention Description (13) to -260 ° F LNG product. When a small amount of nitrogen is present in the feed stream, in order to maintain the BTU content of the liquefied product within acceptable limits, the nitrogen must be concentrated and removed at certain locations in the process. Various techniques for this purpose are known to those skilled in the art. The following are examples. When using an open pinane cycle and the nitrogen concentration in the feed is low (generally less than about 1.0 vol%) 'Removal of nitrogen is generally by removing the small side stream at the high pressure input or output cylinder of the methane compressor Reached. For a closed cycle with a nitrogen concentration of 1 to 5 vol% in the feed gas, the liquefied stream is usually flashed to near atmospheric pressure in a single stage in a single stage, and is generally passed through a flash drum i with nitrogen. Engine gas turbine fuel gas. LNG products are now sent to the wrong store at near atmospheric pressure. When the nitrogen concentration in the incoming feed gas is about ^ to about 15 vol%, and an open cycle is used, the flashing step may be performed before the fourth cooling step by making the liquefied gas flow of the third cooling cycle. The flash vapor will contain a small concentration of nitrogen and can then be used as a fuel gas. A typical flash pressure for removing nitrogen at these concentrations is about 400 psia. When the nitrogen concentration in the feed stream is greater than about 1.5 vol% and an open or closed cycle is used, the 'flash evaporation step' cannot provide sufficient nitrogen removal. In this case, a nitrogen rejection column will be used, which produces a nitrogen-rich vapor stream and a liquid-to-body stream. In a preferred embodiment using a nitrogen removal column, the high pressure liquefied methane flowing to a methane economizer is divided into first and second parts. The first part is flashed to about 400 psia and the two-phase mixture is fed as a feed stream to a nitrogen removal column. The second part of the high-pressure liquefied methane stream is further cooled by passing through a methane economizer to be described later, and then flash-evaporated to 400 psia, and the obtained two-phase mixture or its liquid portion is fed into work -16- ----- ^ _ | P ---- Undress!

Description of the invention (14) The upper section of the tower can be flowed back like a reflux flow. The nitrogen-rich vapor stream generated at the top of the nitrogen rejection column is generally used as fuel. The liquid stream generated at the bottom of the tower is fed into the first stage of methane expansion. The natural gas liquefaction standard in the preliminary process of the Zoran gas liquefaction system uses one or more kinds of cold; the east agent 'f the heat energy transmission of the natural gas stream. Into the refrigerant and finally transfer this thermal energy to the environment. Basically, a refrigeration system that functions as a heat pump by removing heat from the natural gas flow as a flow is planned to cool to a lower temperature. The liquefaction process uses many types of cooling, including (but not limited to) (a) indirect heat exchange, (b) evaporation, and (c) expansion or decompression. As used herein, indirect heat exchange refers to a process in which the refrigerant or coolant cools the substrate to be cooled, and there is no actual physical contact between the refrigerant and the substrate to be cooled. Specific examples include heat exchange in tube and shell heat exchangers, shabu-type heat exchangers and brass aluminum plate fin heat exchangers. The physical state of the refrigerant and the substance to be cooled can be changed according to the system and the type of heat exchanger selected. Therefore, in the process of the present invention, generally, a shell and tube heat exchanger is used. When the refrigerant is liquid and the substance to be cooled is liquid or gaseous, but when the refrigerant is gas and the substance to be cooled is liquid In general, plate-fin heat exchangers are generally used. Finally, when the substance to be cooled is liquid or gas, and is cold; when the agent is exchanged from the liquid phase to the gaseous state in heat exchange, a drum heat exchanger is generally used. -Evaporative cooling means that the system is maintained at a constant pressure by evaporating or-part of the substance <evaporative cooling substance.

Description of the invention (15) Self-maintaining liquid part absorbs heat, and therefore cools the liquid part β Finally swelling or decompressing Cooling refers to the cooling that occurs when the overall force of a gas-'liquid- or two-phase system is reduced by a pressure reducing device. In one specific example, the expansion device is a Joule-Thomson expansion valve. In another specific example, the expansion The equipment is a hydraulic or gas expander. Due to the expansion of the expander's self-expanding process, the process temperature may be lower when it is expanded. In the following discussion and appendix, the discussion or drawings can be passed through the refrigerant flow section The flow valve 'then sequentially separates the gas-liquid portion in the refrigerant cooler or condenser (' where indirect thermal breakdown also occurs_ ') describing its expansion. Although this simplified system is operational' and sometimes due to its Cost and simplicity are better, it may be more efficient to expand and separate, and then partially expanded like the separation step For example, 'combining the throttling chamber and flash drum before heat exchange between the cooler or condenser. In another practical example, the throttle or expansion valve may not be a separate item, but it may be a refrigerant cooler Or an integral part of the condenser (ie, flash evaporation occurs when the liquefied refrigerant enters the cooler). In a similar manner, multiple flow cooling of the chilled freezing section can be in a single tank (ie, cooler) or in multiple tanks Occurred. The former is generally better from the perspective of capital equipment costs. In the first cooling cycle printed by the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Consumer Cooperative, the cooling is provided by a higher boiling point gaseous refrigerant (preferably propane). The pressure of liquefaction by heat transfer between the heat exchange medium is ultimately used as the environment of the heat sink, the heat sink is usually atmospheric 'fresh water' salt water, earth or two or more of the foregoing. Cold condensate S is subjected to one or more expansions via a suitable expansion device: 'This results in a two-phase mixture with a distinctly low temperature. Among them, the main flow is divided into at least two separated flows, preferably two to four flows -18 97mm) Wood and paper scale—Chinese national standard 426665 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative Office of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the People's Republic of China. 5. Description of the invention (16 and the best two flows, where each flow expands to the design pressure. Each flow is combined with .- or more selected flows to provide evaporative cooling through indirect heat transfer. One ratio is the natural gas flow to be liquefied. The number of separated refrigerant flows will be equivalent to the number of cold; Individually flowing evaporated refrigerants are returned to the appropriate section of the refrigerant compressor (for example, the two separated streams are equivalent to a section of a shrinking machine). More specifically, in the specific example, all liquefied refrigerants are expanded to a predetermined pressure, And this flow is then used to indirect heat exchange with one or more selected flows to provide evaporative cooling. The second flow is the natural gas stream to be liquefied. A part of the liquefied cold bath agent is removed from the indirect heat transfer equipment to expand to a lower pressure and a relatively low temperature expansion cooling, wherein it provides evaporative cooling through indirect heat transfer and one or more specified flows, and other flows For natural gas a to be liquefied, usually, this specific example will use two such expansion cooling / evaporative cooling steps, preferably two to four times, and most preferably three times. As in the first specific example, the refrigerant vapor in each step is returned to the appropriate input &: of the stage compressor. In the preferred example of the step, the liquefied cooling body of the preferred boiling point cold bead agent (that is, the refrigerant used in the second and third cycles) may be indirectly passed by its selected higher Buddha point refrigerant flow, indirectly. Heat exchange allows these flows to cool. This cooling method is called " step cooling V. In fact, "higher boiling point refrigerants function as heat sinks for low boiling point refrigerants. The thermal energy flows from the natural gas that is to be liquefied to the lower stagnation point of the cooling agent. Water, brine, atmosphere) are pumped (ie, delivered) to one or more higher-boiling refrigerants before being sent to the atmosphere.

When economically possible, compressed refrigerant vapor is first indirectly heat-exchanged and cooled with one or more coolants (such as air, water, and fresh water) that are directly coupled to the environmental radiator. This cooling may be interstage cooling between the shrinking sections and / or cooling of the compression products. The compressed stream is further cooled by indirect heat exchange with the aforementioned cooling section of one or more higher boiling point refrigerants.

Each vapor stream preferably undergoes the apparent heat transfer 'in a methane economizer and is preferably returned to the input stage of the compressor stage at near normal temperature. During the flow through the methane economizer, the flash steam and the warm stream are designed to contact each other in a countercurrent manner and in order to maximize the cooling of the warm stream. The pressure selected for expansion cooling is such that the volume of gas produced in each stage plus the compressed volume of vapor in the adjacent lower stage results in effective overall operation of the multi-stage compressor. The cooling between the stages and the final compressed gas is better, and it is better to heat directly with the environment through and! § Combining one or more coolants is achieved by heat exchange. The compressed methane-rich flow is further cooled in the first and second cycles by indirect heat exchange with a refrigerant, preferably all phases of the refrigerant used in the first cycle, and more preferably the first two phases , And preferably only the first stage. The cooled methane-rich stream is then flash-vaporized in a methane economizer, cooled by indirect heat, and combined with the natural gas feed stream at the location in the liquefaction process, where the natural gas feed stream and the cooled s containing The methane wave is under similar temperature and pressure conditions, preferably before entering one of the cooling stages of acetam, and more preferably before the ethylene cooling stage.

In the preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 and discussed in more detail later, the process uses a economizer that is primarily ethylene, a economizer that is primarily oxane, and one or more additional methane economizers. These additional economizers refer here to a second methane economizer, a third methane economizer, etc., and each of these additional methane economizers corresponds to a flow-through flash evaporation step under separation.

Description of the invention (20) The parameters related to other processes determined by the person. In the system, the desired two-phase flow is made by cooling the entire feed stream to the required liquid percentage. In a preferred embodiment, the gas stream is first cooled to near the liquefaction temperature, and then divided into a first flow and The second flow. The first flow is additionally cooled and partially condensed, and then combined with the second flow, thereby generating a two-phase flow containing the required percentage of liquid. This latter method is better because it is easy to combine operation and process control One-phase flow is re-fed into the upper section of the tower 'where this flow is in contact with the scrubbing vapor stream in the lower part of the tower, thus generating a liquid stream rich in broken materials that functions as a return flow' and produced by the tower Vapor stream with few carbons. As used herein, "multi-cracks" refers to any major organic compound with a molecular weight greater than that of Ethyl shuttle. This tower is unique in that, as mentioned above, in which it does not need to produce reflux. It is not necessary to re-boil the boiler. As described above, the "methane-rich stripping gas is fed into the tower. D. This flow is preferably generated from the upper flow position, where the cooled methane-based gas flows through Some degree of cooling and liquid removal. Prior to introduction to the bottom of the tower, this gas stream is cooled by indirect contact (preferably counter-current) with the liquid product produced by the bottom of the tower, thereby producing a warm, polycarbon-rich flow And cooled methane-rich stripping gas stream. When cooling, the methane-containing stripping gas reservoir can be partially condensed, and the resulting two-phase cooled methane-rich stripping gas can be fed directly into the tower. Cooling the steam containing solid C3 + ingredients with a small amount of C3 + ingredients instead of the regenerating ~ 3% vapour containing C3 + ingredients can significantly reduce the problem of fluids in towers approaching critical conditions.

Description of the invention (21) Lia This factor becomes particularly apparent when operating in a better pressure range of about 550 to about 675 psia The critical temperature and pressure of methane are 64T and 673.3, pisa. The critical temperature and pressure of propane are 206 2 ^ and 617 4 psia, and the critical temperature and pressure of n-butane are 305 and 551 25 psia. The presence of an acceptable amount of the C3 + component will (1) lower the critical pressure, and therefore a better operating pressure for the process, and (2) increase the critical temperature. The resulting effect makes it more difficult to separate the components via vapor / liquid contact. Differentiate the application of methane-rich stripping gas cooled on steam and the second of the reboiler due to the temperature difference between the individual stream & and the liquid effluent in the final stage. Because a cooled methane-rich stripping gas is better than a similar steam warmer in a reboiler ', this better flow has a greater ability to strip the lighter liquid phase. The temperature difference between the liquid flowing from the tower and the stripping gas from the effluent reaching the tower is preferably 20 to 110 ° C, more preferably 40 to 90 ° C, and most preferably about 60 to 80T. The number of theoretical plates in the tower will depend on the composition of the vapor stream flowing into the tower, the temperature and flow rate, and the composition of the two-phase stream fed into the upper stage of the tower, the temperature, the flow rate and the liquid to vapor ratio. This decision is the theoretical number of beta holders that are familiar to those skilled in the art. It can be filled by various towers (such as collars, saddles, etc.) or in different contact sections of the tower (such as the holder) or The combination is determined. Usually 'two (2) to fifteen (15) theoretical segments are required, more preferably three (3) to ten (10) segments, still more preferably four to eight (8) segments, and preferably about five Theoretical section β When the tower straight is greater than six (6) feet, the support system is generally better.

Certain combinations of invention description (23). However, any other category is used in use Signal transmissions that are compatible with the process and equipment are within the scope of the present invention. Β The invention described in the figure, as the straight line of the signal line is the dotted line in the figure. These lines are preferably electrical or pneumatic signal lines. The signals provided by transducers are usually electrical. However, the signals provided by flow sensors are usually pneumatic. For simplicity, the conversion of these signals is usually not described because it is known in the art. Or, if the flow is measured in a pneumatic form, it must be converted into an electric form, if it is to be transmitted in an electric form by a mobile transducer. 'Refer to Figure 1, a gas propane system; ^ It is driven by an unillustrated gas turbine drive Compression in multi-stage compressor 18. Three-stage compression is better to exist in a single unit, although each stage of compression can be a separate unit, and the unit is mechanically combined with a single-drive appliance to drive. Compression The compressed propane is liquefied through a duct 300 to a cooler 200 ′. Before flash evaporation, the pressure and temperature of a representative liquefied propane refrigerant is about 100 times and about 19 psia. Although not illustrated in FIG. 1 Medium's better separation tank is located at the flow below the cooler 20 and above the decompression equipment (as described in the expansion valve i 2) to remove the remaining light components from the liquefied propane. This tank can include a single stage The gas-liquid separator may be more complicated 'and includes an accumulator section, a condenser section and an absorber section, the latter two of which can be continuously operated or periodically connected to remove residual light components from propane. The flow or cooler in this tank The flow of 20 passes through the conduit 302 to the decompression equipment, as described in the expansion valve 12, where the pressure of the liquefied propane is reduced, so part of it is evaporated or flashed. The resulting two-phase product flows through the conduit 3 〇 4 into the high-end propane sintering cooler 2 'wherein the gas propane refrigerant is introduced through conduit 152, the natural gas feed is introduced through conduit 100, and the gas is introduced through conduit 202 -26-t Guan Jiapi ((Please read the back first (Please fill in this page again) ii. 426 665 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (24) Ethylene refrigerant is cooled by indirect heat exchanger equipment 4, 6 and 8 respectively, so it is made into cooling gas flow generated by ducts 154 '102 and 204, respectively. In duct 154 The gas is fed into the main methane economizer 74, which will be described in detail in the following paragraphs, and the flow is cooled by the indirect heat exchange equipment 98. The resulting cooled compressed methane circulation stream generated through the duct 158 is then mixed with polycarbons. Remove the vapor stream of the small carbon in the duct 60 of the tower 60 and combine it and feed it into the methane condenser 68. Printed by the consumer cooperation of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back first) Fill in this page again)-The propane gas coming from the cooler 2 is returned to the compressor 18 through the duct 3 06. This gas is fed into the upper part of the compressor 18 into the tank. The pressure of the remaining liquid propane is reduced through the pressure reducing device through the conduit 308 ', as described by the expansion valve 14. At this time, the other part of the liquefied propane is flashed, and the resulting two-phase flow is fed into the cooler through the conduit 310. In 22, the coolant of the cooler 22 is thus provided. The cooling feed gas from the cooler flows through the conduit 102 to the separation tank 10, where the separated gas and liquid phase rich in C3 + component liquid phase is removed through the conduit 103. The gas phase is removed via conduit 104 and subdivided into two separate streams delivered via conduits 106 and 108. The flow in the conduit 106 is fed into a propane cooler 22. The flow in the duct 108 becomes the feed to the heat exchanger 62, and finally the ethylene refrigerant that has reached the multicarbon removal tower 60o cooler 2 is introduced into the cooler 22 through the duct 204 to be electrically charged. In the cooler 22, the feed gas stream (also referred to herein as a methane-rich stream) and the ethylene refrigerant stream are cooled by indirect heat exchange equipment 24 and 26, respectively. As a result, a cooled stream of methane and ethylene-rich cryogens is generated via the conduits 110 and 206. Therefore, the evaporation part of the propane refrigerant is separated, and it is input to the middle section of the compressor 18 through the conduit 3 1 1 and the liquid propane refrigerant from the cooler 22 is moved through the conduit 314-27.

Description of the invention (25) Except for flash evaporation through pressure reducing equipment, such as the description of the expansion valve 14, and then It is fed via a catheter 3 1 6 into a third stage cooler 28. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the methane-rich flow flows through the conduit 110 and flows from the middle propane cooler 22 to the low propane cooler / condenser 28. In this cooler, the flow is cooled by the indirect heat transfer device 30. In the same way, the ethylene cooler flows from the middle propane cooler 22 to the lower propane cooler / condenser 28 through the duct 206. In the latter, the ethylene refrigerant is condensed or almost condensed by the indirect heat transfer device 32 '. All condensing. \ Evaporated propane is removed from the low stage propane cooler / condenser 28 'and returned to the low stage inlet at compressor 18 via conduit 320. Although FIG. 1 illustrates that the flow cooling provided by the conduits 11 and 206 occurs in the same tank, the cooling of flow 1 10 and the cooling or condensation of flow 2 can occur separately in the separation tank (for example, separation The cooling occurs in the cooler and the separation. In a similar manner, the multi-flows are cooled in a general tank (such as a cooler) before the surface cooling step can be performed in the separation tank. The previous combination is a better specific example because many The cost of the tank and the need for less factory space.

The separation tank is similar to the previously described for removing liquefied propane refrigerant. Lighter components have similar tanks and may be single-stage gas-liquid separators or multi-stage operations that may provide greater selectivity to remove lighter components from the system.

Description of invention (30) to the storage unit. The low-pressure, low-temperature LNG evaporates the vapor stream from the storage unit, and, depending on the situation, the vapor cooled back from the operating pipeline of the combined LNG load system, preferably by making this flow or flows and the conduit 144, 146 or 1 4 8 One of the existing low-pressure flash vapors is combined with recovery; the selected conduit is mainly to meet the steam flow temperature as much as possible. As shown in _1, the high, middle and low sections of compressor 83 are better combined into a single unit. However, sections can exist as separate units, where the units are mechanically coupled together and driven by a single drive. The compressed gas from the low-stage section passes through the interstage cooler 85 and is combined with the medium-pressure gas in the duct 140 before compression in the second section. The compressed gas from the middle section of the compressor 83 passes through the interstage cooler 84 and is combined with the high-pressure gas in the duct M0 before the third section is compressed. The compressed gas is discharged from the high-stage methyl alcohol compressor through the conduit 15, cooled in the cooler 86, and reaches the high-pressure propane cooler through the conduit 1 52 as described above. Figure 1 shows the expansion of the liquefied phase using an expansion valve that can subsequently separate the gas and liquid parts in a cooler or condenser. Although this simplified diagram is operational and used in some cases', it is often more efficient and effective to perform partial evaporation and separation steps in individual equipment, such as using expansion before separating vapor or liquid into a propane freezer Valve and separation flash _ steaming bucket. In a similar method, it is ideal to use a hydraulic expander as part of the means to reduce the pressure of some process fluids that have undergone expansion, so that work can be extracted and the two-phase temperature can be reduced. — Regarding the compressor / drive unit used in this process, Figure 1 shows the individual compressors / drives used in the compressor, ethylene and open cycle methane compression stages. -33- Binding ------ ¾1 «--- 1 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) (This paper size applies to Chinese National Standards (CNS) (2 [0; > < 297 race) Printed by the Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Consumer Cooperatives 426665

Printed by Shellfish Consumer Cooperative, Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs In another specific example described in Figure 3, the temperature of the stripping gas sent to tower 60 is controlled in the following manner. The temperature transducer 700 is operatively configured in the catheter 1 17 (measuring equipment, such as a thermometer, provides an output signal 7 08 that represents the exact temperature of the fluid flowing through the catheter 1 17. The signal 7 08 is based on The first type of proportional computer 700 is provided. The proportional computer 700 also provides a second temperature signal 706 representing the temperature of the fluid flowing into the conduit 109. The signal 706 is generated in the temperature transducer 702, which The output signal 7 〇 6 is a reaction sensing element, such as a thermometer that is operatively configured in the catheter 1 009.

Description of the invention (37) The setting required at a liquid compatible temperature in 60. However, at startup, the catheter 10 > Medium The temperature will be normal temperature or near normal temperature β. According to this, the connection signal 726 directly sent to the operation valve 536 will cause the valve 536 to close, and the warm dry gas will not flow to the refrigeration separation tower 60 during startup. This problem can be as follows The description above is overcome by a temporarily selected signal 742 sent to the operation valve 536. The sensor is dedicated to the signals 706 and 724, and the temperature controller 722 provides an output signal 726 that senses the difference between the signals 706 and 724. The signal 726 indicates that the fluid in the conduit 109 is maintained True temperature The required operability at the desired temperature represented by signal 724 is the position of the control valve 5 3 6 in the conduit 1 08. However, as mentioned above, the expectation of the setpoint signal 724 does not enable the tower to start. Accordingly, signal 726 It is supplied to the signal selector 728. The signal selector 728 also provides a control signal 742 that senses the difference between the signals 736 and 740, and is scaled to maintain the temperature of the fluid in the conduit 119 which is substantially equal to the desired temperature represented by the signal 740. 5 3 6 The indication of the position. When the tower starts, the exact temperature of the fluid in the conduit 119 will be lower than the desired temperature indicated by signal 740. Accordingly, the connection of signal 742 to valve 536 will cause valve 536 to open, thereby reducing the temperature represented by signal 706. The high selector 7 2 8 determines which control signals 726 and 742 enable the 阙 536 to operate. The startup proceeds like this. The feed gas is introduced into the top of the freezing separation column 60 in the upper stage. When the temperature of the feed gas is cooled to the condensation temperature at which impurities are to be removed, the liquid begins to form a level in the column 60. The liquid level controller 6 0 0 senses the liquid level and its output opens the response signal 114 and the valve 97 »The low-temperature liquid is passed to the heat exchanger 62 and exchanges heat with the warm and dry gas flow through the duct 108 and the valve 536.

The start-up controller assists the operator in providing smooth and safe start-up and reduces the need for attention. The warm, multi-carbon-rich stream from the heat exchanger 62 is fed through a conduit 119 to a demethanizer column 67, which contains a rectification and stripping section. The rectification and stripping sections may contain different stages (such as trays, plates), or provide continuous mass transfer via tower packing (such as saddles, grid rings, woven wiring) or a combination of the foregoing. Generally, for towers with a diameter of less than about six (6) feet, filling is better, but for towers with a diameter of more than about six (6) feet, it is better to use different stages. The number of theoretical stages for both the rectification and stripping stages depends on the desired composition of the final product and the composition of the feed stream. Preferably, the stripping or lower section contains 4 to 20 theoretical sections', more preferably 8 to 12 theoretical sections, and most preferably about 10 theoretical sections. In a similar manner, the above or tower section preferably contains 4 to 20 theoretical sections, more preferably 8 to 13 theoretical sections, and most preferably contains about theoretical sections. A general reboiler 5 2 4 is provided at the bottom to obtain stripped steam. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the liquid from the lowest section of the demethanizer reaches the reboiler through the conduit 428, where the fluid is a heating medium conveyed through the conduit 44 and passed through the indirect heat exchange device 5 2 5 is heated, and is connected to the flow control valve connected to the pipeline 4 4 4 in sequence.

Description of the Invention (39)' 438 The device for generating β control fluid is inserted into one or both of the above-mentioned catheters. In a specific example shown in FIG. 2, the flow control device includes a control valve 5 2 2 inserted between the conduits 4 3 8 and 1 2 3. The position of the control valve 5 2 2 is operated by the flow controller 632, which senses the difference between the solid flow velocity of the fluid in the conduit 438 indicated by the set point signal 628 and signal 631 of the level control device 626. The setpoint flow rate of the liquid level controller 6 2 6 6 3 0 can be provided by the operator or computer digital input. The output of the controller 632 is a signal 634, which represents the position of the control valve 5 2 2 required to maintain the desired flow rate in the conduit 438 to maintain the desired liquid level in 67. _ Although various control techniques can be used to adjust the flow rate of the stripping vapor sent to the tower 67 via the conduit 430, the preferred technique is based on the temperature of the return vapor. The temperature transducing device 636 in combination with a sensing device (such as a thermometer located in the conduit 430) can provide an input signal 638 to the temperature controller 6 4 2. It is also provided by the operator or computer to the controller to set the temperature signal 0040. The difference between the two inputs of the controller 642 is to send a signal 644 to a conduit containing a heating medium (preferably a conduit 440 or 444, preferably a conduit 444) in the flow control valve 5 2 6. The transmission signal 644 represents a way to maintain the position of the control valve 526 required to obtain the desired temperature in the conduit 440. The novel goal of the S. beta f armor stripper tower is to generate a returning liquid. As shown in FIG. 2, the product from the top of the column leaves the demethanizer column 67 via the duct 41.

Description of the invention (milk) The printed products of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Shellfish Consumer Cooperatives, printed products of Zhao are first used to cool at least part of the overhead The effluent vapor stream is then used to cool the methane-rich stripping gas stream. The condensed liquid formed by cooling the polycarbon-rich liquid stream becomes the reflux source of the demethanizer tower 67. Preferably, the heat exchange between the two indication streams occurs in a countercurrent manner. In the specific example, 'the entire flow can be flowed to the heat exchanger 62 as described above to cool all + methane stripping gas "In the preferred specific example shown in FIG. 2, the vapor product of the overhead distillate is divided into The airflow flowing in the ducts 412 and 414. The flow in the duct 4 1 4 is cooled in the heat exchanger 62 by passing the flow through the heat exchange device 5 1 0 in the exchanger 62, and the resulting cooling flow is generated through the duct 4 18.

Disposed in the duct 4 2 0 is a temperature transducing device 646 ′ combined with a temperature sensing device (preferably a thermometer), and provides the temperature controller 6 5 2 with a signal 648 representing the exact temperature of the fluid flowing in the duct 420. The required temperature 650 is also entered into the controller 652 manually or via a computer. Based on the comparison between the winter input and the setting 650 via the transducing device 646, the controller 652 then provides an output signal 654 to the valve 512, which scales to operate the valve 512 in an appropriate manner, so Zhao Jin or maintains the set point. The two fluids in the obtained conduit 420 are fed into the separator 514 ', and a methane-rich vapor stream is generated from the separator 514 through the conduit 422, and a reflux liquid flow is passed through the conduit 4 2 4.

The flow rates shown here are present in a 2.5 million metric tons / year LNG plant using the liquefaction technology listed in Figures 1 and 2. α The benzene concentration in the methane-based gas stream used in this example is the natural gas stream in many processes Representative. However, gas streams dominated by pinane are considered to be relatively deficient in polycarbons (ie, C3 +). Similar results were obtained using Hyprotech's Process Simulation HYSIM »386 / C2.10» Prop. PkgPR / LK "— the ones listed in Table 1 are the inflow and effluent stream compositions sent to the multi-carbon removal tower, temperature, Force and phase conditions. This simulation is based on 5 theoretical sections -46- This paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 47 mm) 4 266 6 5, A7 B7 v Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs *: Industrial Consumption The cooperative prints the tower of the invention description (44). Partially condensed flow (also known as two-phase flow) (the main part of which is then liquefied) is first fed into the uppermost stage of the tower (phase 1). The temperature of this flow was 112 > 5 ° F and the pressure was 587.0 psia. As mentioned earlier, this flow is partially condensed, so the flow is 98.24 mole% vapor. The cooled pristane-rich stream stripping system fed in the lowest stage (stage 5) comes from the upper flow position as described in FIG. This flow is cooled from about 63 ° F to -10 ° C through countercurrent heat exchange with the polycarbonate-rich liquid flow made in stage 5. During this heat exchange process as described in FIG. 2, this flow is heated from about −78 T to about 62 ° C. This flow can also be used to cool the overhead vapors from the demethanizer column. Table 2 lists the simulated temperature, pressure and relative flow rate of each phase based on the middle stage of the tower. The individual liquid and vapor equilibrium compositions are listed in Table 3 for each segment. The warmed multi-carbon-rich stream is then fed into a decanter pit containing the rectification and stripping section to produce a stream rich in oxane / ethane, which is preferably recirculated in the reverse direction and fed into methylbenzene The high section of the shrinking machine is input into the cylinder and the natural gas-rich liquid flow. The efficiency of the aromatic / polycarbonate removal process is illustrated by comparing the combined nitrogen, formazan, and benzyl alcohol mole ratios in the feed streams sent to stages i and 5 and the products in stage 1. The contention of each flow is 100%; the ratios are pan, 99.89 and 99.94 mole percentages respectively. This process therefore produces more product streams of these light components than the two gas feed streams. The efficiency of the process used to remove the aromatics of benzene and polycarbons is a concentration defined by comparing the mole percentage of the component in the liquid product of stage 5 divided by the mole percentage of the component in the vapor product of stage 5 Than description.

Description of the invention (45) 'As an example' The individual mole fractions are 0.1616E-O4 and 0,00352. This results in a concentration ratio of approximately 2 2 0. Explanation ' An additional basis for the efficiency of this process is the liquid product stream made from the concentration ratio of the C3 + component in the feed streams sent to stages 1 and 5. This ratio ranges from about 45 for propylene to about 200 for n-octane The individual ratios between the product streams changed from about 50 to about 50 to about 20,000 for normal-sinusoids. Example II This example shows the computer simulation of the main flow of methane, as shown above. The efficiency of the process described in the description of the removal of benzene and multi-carbon components from the flow of toluene burning before partial liquefaction is required. The indicated flow rate exists at 2.5 times using the liquefaction technology listed in Figures 1 and 2 10,000 metric tons / year of lng workers. The concentration of benzene in the methane-based gas stream used in this example is many in the process. However, the concentration of ethane and polycarbons in the gas stream has increased significantly, which means that there are more gas streams and more loads in the process of removing these components and benzene. This example is detailed The ability of the Ming process to remove benzene and multi-carbon hydrocarbons at the same time β In addition, this example shows that the benzene removal process can tolerate the obvious process damage that significantly increases the concentration of ethane and multi-carbon hydrocarbons without significantly affecting the benzene removal process. Efficiency and operability. Moreover, this example illustrates the ability of the process to recover multi-carbon hydrocarbons as a difficult to liquefy stream. Similar results were obtained using Hyprotech, Process Simulation HYSIM '386 / C2.10 Prop.

The temperature of this flow is -91'2 ° F, and the pressure is 596.0 psia. »As mentioned before, this flow is partially condensed ', so the flow is 94,04 mol% of steam. Feed into the lowest stage (stage 5) The methane-rich stream stripping system is from the upper flow location described in Figure 1. This flow is cooled to about -10 ° C with the liquid product stream produced in stage 5, countercurrent heat exchange. As can be seen from the table, this flow is partially concentrated during the cooling process. The ones listed in Table 5 are the simulated temperature, pressure and platform-to-velocity of each phase based on the middle section of the tower. Each of the paragraphs listed in Table 6 is the equilibrium composition of each liquid and steam. The efficiency of the multi-carbon removal process is combined by comparing the feed streams sent to stages i and 5 and the products of stage 1. Description of nitrogen, methane and ethane mole percentages. These percentages are 97.85, 97.30 and 99.37 mole percentages, respectively. This process therefore produces a product stream of significantly more of these light components than the two gas feed stream. The efficiency of the process for removing benzene and polycarbon aromatics is illustrated by comparing the concentration ratio for benzene as defined in Example 1. Individual mole fractions are 0.003E-04 and 0.00923. This results in a concentration ratio of about 30. An additional basis for explaining the efficiency of this process is that the concentration ratio of the C3 + component in the feed streams sent to stages 1 and 5 'is a liquid product stream made from stage i. This ratio ranges from about 19 in propylene to about 30 in n-octane. The individual ratios between the product streams changed from about 67 for propane to 19,000 for n-octane. -49- I paper size is applicable to China National Cricket (CMS) A4 size (210x297 male shame) ----- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Binding '4266 6 5, A7 B7 V.
