Abstract

A process for liquefying natural gas in conjunction with producing a liquid stream containing predominantly hydrocarbons heavier than methane is disclosed. In the process, the natural gas stream to be liquefied is partially cooled, expanded to an intermediate pressure, and supplied to a distillation column. The bottom product from this distillation column preferentially contains the majority of any hydrocarbons heavier than methane that would otherwise reduce the purity of the liquefied natural gas. The residual gas stream from the distillation column is compressed to a higher intermediate pressure, cooled under pressure to condense it, and then expanded to low pressure to form the liquefied natural gas stream.

Description of the invention () Background of the invention The present invention relates to a natural gas or other methane-rich gas treatment process, so as to obtain a liquid natural gas stream (Liquefied natural gas, LGN), the liquid natural gas stream contains high purity Methane and a liquid gas stream which is primarily a hydrocarbon gas heavier than methane. The applicant hereby claims all the contents and benefits of the provisional application No. 60/2 9 6,8 48 filed on June 8, 2001 under US Code 35 and Article 119 (e). Natural gas is recovered from deep wells drilled in underground storage tanks. Its main component is methane. In other words, natural gas is a gas with a methane content of more than 50% by mole. Depending on the specific underground storage tank, the natural gas also contains relatively small amounts of heavy hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, butane, alkane, and the like, as well as water, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and Other gases. Most solitary gases are processed as gases. The most common method is to transfer natural gas from the upper part of the well to the gas treatment site, and then Θ high-pressure gas transmission pipeline to the consumer's home. However, in the case of _ $, it must be used, and it is better that the natural gas is liquefied before it is transmitted, used, or used. For example, 'in remote areas' most of the time there is no such natural gas pipeline that can transport natural gas to consumers' homes. In this case, lng, which is lower in volume than natural gas, is produced by < Ship or truck delivery significantly reduces delivery costs. Another case where liquid natural gas is more suitable is the case where the Pan 4 Skyfly gas system is used as automobile fuel.

Description of the invention () (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Can provide economic LNG sources, there are many buses, taxis, small cars Or trucks can start with LNG as fuel. Compared with vehicles that use high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons such as gasoline or diesel engines to burn fuel, this type of LNG-fueled vehicles' Combustion, so the degree of air pollution caused by it is relatively low compared to gasoline or diesel engines with less complete combustion. In addition, if the purity of LNG is high (that is, the purity of Jiaxuan is as high as 95% Molar percentage) , The amount of carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas) produced will also be greatly reduced due to the lower carbon-to-hydrogen ratio of methane (compared to other carbocyanide fuels). The present invention relates generally to Natural gas liquefies and produces a by-product of a liquid gas stream consisting primarily of hydrocarbons heavier than methane, such as natural gas liquid streams consisting of acetylene: propane, butane, and heavy hydrocarbons , NGL) 'Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consisting of propane, butane, and consumer cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, or LPG, or consisting of butane and heavy hydrocarbons Condensate. The production of this liquid by-product has two very important advantages: the LNG produced will have high purity methane, and the liquid by-product is a high economic value product that can be used for other purposes. Typical analysis of the natural gas stream that can be processed by the process of the present invention, in terms of mole percentage, contains approximately 84.2% methane, 7.9% ethane and other c2 components, 4.9% propane and other C3 components, 1.0% isocyanate. Butane, 1.1% n-butane, 0.8% pentane, and the remaining proportions are made up with nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Sometimes there are some sulfur-containing gases. Many methods are known to liquefy natural gas For example, Finn, Adrian, page 5 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 580554 A7 B7 V.

These methods are generally Includes cooling, condensation, and expansion steps to purify natural gas (removal of water and troublesome substances such as carbon dioxide and sulfides) ). The cooling and condensation of natural gas can be achieved in many ways. "Cascade refrigeration" refers to natural gas and several types of refrigerants (boiling points are lower than one, such as propane, ethane, and methane). Steps of heat exchange with each other.

Description of the invention () Cold coal This heat exchange step is achieved by volatilization at several different pressures. "Multi-component refrigeration" is the step of heat exchange between natural gas and one or more cold coal fluids composed of different single cold coal components. Natural gas expansion can be achieved by isenthalpy (for example, Joule-Thomson expansion) and isentropic expansion (for example, work-expansion turbine). No matter which method is used to liquefy natural gas, it is generally necessary to remove a considerable proportion of heavier hydrocarbons than methane before liquefying a methane-rich gas stream. The reasons for doing this include controlling the heating value of the LNG stream and the value of these heavy hydrocarbon products themselves. Unfortunately, few people value the efficiency that this hydrocarbon removal step can bring. In accordance with the present invention, the inventors have discovered that careful integration of this hydrocarbon removal step into the LNG liquefaction process can produce LNG and a separate heavy hydrocarbon liquid stream with lower thermal energy requirements than previous processes. . Although the process of the present invention can be operated at a low pressure, it is preferably operated at a pressure of the feed gas between 400 to 1,500 psia [2,758 to 10,342 kPa (a)] or higher.

Printed by the Employees' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In the following examples of the above drawings, a table is provided to summarize the flow rates calculated for each processing situation. In the attached table, for convenience, the flow rate value (how many moles per hour) has been rounded to the nearest whole number. The total flow rates shown in the table include all non-hydrocarbon compositions and are therefore generally higher than the sum of the flow rate values of the hydrocarbon compositions. Temperatures shown are those that have been rounded to the nearest integer value. It should be noted that the calculations made when comparing the processes of different drawings are based on the assumption that there is no heat exchange between the process and the environment. As the quality of insulation materials currently available on the market is very good, this assumption is quite reasonable, and it is also generally used by those skilled in the art.

In this simulation process of the present invention, the feed gas system enters the plant at a pressure of 90 ° F [32 ° C] and 1,285 psia [8,860 "x ^] with a gas flow of 31. If the feed gas contains carbon dioxide and / or sulfides' that would make the product non-compliant, then these must be removed by appropriate treatment (not shown). In addition, the feed stream is usually dehydrated and dried to prevent it from freezing under cold conditions. A solid desiccant is usually used for this purpose. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the feed gas stream 31 can boil the liquid in the boiler in the heat exchanger 10 with the cold gas stream and -68] [-55C] to the methane removal section (air stream 4). It is cooled by heat exchange. It should be noted that the heat exchanger 丄 0 in each of the above cases may be a combination of a plurality of single heat exchangers, or a single heat-exchanger which can be accessed multiple times, or any combination thereof. (Determining whether to use more than one heat exchanger to reduce the gas temperature will depend on many factors, but is not limited to, including the feed gas flow rate, the size of the heat exchanger, the temperature of the airflow, and others.) The cooled airflow 31a is -30 Into the separator 11 at a pressure of ° F [-34 ° c] and 1,278 psia [8,812 k £ _ajU.) ..], so that the vapor (airflow 32) can be separated from the condensed liquid (airflow 3 3). The vapor (airflow 32) from the separator 11 is divided into two airflows, airflow 34 and airflow 36, respectively. The gas stream 34 containing 20% of the total vapor is combined with the condensed liquid-gas stream 3 3 in to form the gas stream 3 5.

The -120T | > 85 ° C], almost completely condensed gas stream 3 5 a and then passed through a suitable expansion device such as an expansion valve 14, is rapidly expanded to close to the operating pressure of the fractionation column 19 (about 465 psia [3, 206 LEaCjJJ). During the expansion process, part of the airflow will be evaporated, which will reduce the overall airflow temperature. The flow of FIG. 1 'expansion flow 35b leaving expansion valve 14 reaches a temperature of -122 ° F [-86. (3) 'and is supplied to the midpoint of the feed position of the methane removal section 19b of the demarcation tower 19. The remaining 80% of the vapor (flow 36) in the separator 11 will then enter the work expansion mechanism 15 and can be obtained from this The mechanical energy is extracted from part of the high-pressure feed. Mechanism 15 expands the vapor in an isentropic way from about 1,278 psia [8,8 12- ± Pa (a)] to the operating pressure of the branch tower. The work of expansion is used to reduce the temperature of the expanded airflow 36a to about -103 ° F [-75 ° C]. Commercially suitable expanders can effectively recover theoretically only 80-85% of isentropic expansion. Work. The recovered work is usually used to drive a centrifugal compressor (such as item 16). The centrifugal compressor can be used to recompress, for example, the airflow above the fractionation tower (airflow 38). The expanded and partially condensed airflow 36a is regarded as The feed enters the distillation column 19 at a position lower than the midpoint of the feed. The methane removal section of the fractionation column 19 is a tray containing a plurality of vertically spaced disks, one or more packed beds, or a tray. A traditional distillation column combination of solids and packed bed. In a natural gas processing plant, the fractionation column can be composed of two stages. Section 19a is a separator, which can divide the upper feed into vapor and its liquid portion, wherein the vapor is from the lower distillation section or the torrefaction.

The demethylation section also includes one or more reboilers (for example, reboiler 20), It can heat and vaporize the liquid flowing to the lower layer of the column to provide purified vapor flowing upward. Liquefied product gas stream 41 leaves from the bottom of the tower at 1 15 ° F [46 ° C], and in terms of the molar ratio of the bottom product, the ratio of methane to ethane in a typical bottom liquefied product is 0.020: 1. Go to the vapor above the methane section (Airflow 37) is warmed to 90 ° F [3 2 ° C] in the heat exchanger 24, and a part of the vapor above the dewarmed methane section is evacuated as the factory fuel gas (airflow 48).

Under the same reference, the specific energy consumption of the embodiment of the i-th figure of the present invention is 0. 6 i Hp-Hr / Lb [0.265 kW-Hir / Kg], compared with the previous technology, the improvement of the heart rate 1 3 %. Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific energy consumption of the previous technology is measured at a very low recovery rate and only produces LPG by-products (C3 and heavy hydrocarbons) or concentrates ((: 4 and heavy hydrocarbons) It is not measured under the conditions of the NGL liquid stream (C2 and heavy hydrocarbons) shown in this embodiment of the present invention. The previous process requires a relatively high amount of refrigeration energy to generate the NGL stream at the same time. The present invention There are two main reasons why efficiency can be improved or increased. The first factor can be understood by examining the thermodynamics of applying a liquefaction process to a high-pressure airflow such as this embodiment. Because the main composition of this airflow is a nail pit ' Therefore, the thermodynamic properties of methane can be used as a comparison between the present invention and the prior art liquefaction process. Figure 2 is a pressure-enthalpy phase diagram of methane. In most of the prior art liquefaction processes, the cooling of all air streams is in Completed at high pressure (path AB), after which the gas stream is expanded (path BC) to the storage pressure of LNG (slightly higher than atmospheric pressure). This expansion step can use a work expansion mechanism, which can typically be recovered at an ideal level The work of 75-8 0% in the expanded state.

五、發明説明() (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 示為完全等熵膨脹。即使如此,此功膨脹機制所提供能 降低的焓仍相當小,因為此相圖中液態部分之恆定熵仍 維持在幾近垂直的狀態。 與本發明此液化循環相反的是,在高壓下部分冷卻後 (路徑A-A’),氣流被功膨脹(路徑a,-A”)至一中等签力。 (同樣地,為簡便起見,所示為完全等熵膨脹)。剩餘的 冷卻係在該中等壓力下完成(路徑A,,-B,),且該氣·流被膨 脹(路徑B’-C)至LNG的儲存壓。由於恆定熵直線之斜率 不如相圖中蒸氣部分來得陡峭,因此本發明第一功膨脹 步驟(路徑A、A”)能明顯降低更高的焓。因此,本發明所 需之冷卻總量(路徑A、A,及A,,-B,的總和)較前技所需的 冷卻總量(路徑A-B)來得少,並能降低所需用以液化氣流 之冷凍能源(即,冷凍壓縮)。V. Description of the invention () (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) It is shown as a complete isentropic expansion. Even so, the reduced enthalpy provided by this work expansion mechanism is still quite small, because the constant entropy of the liquid part in this phase diagram remains almost vertical. In contrast to the liquefaction cycle of the present invention, after partial cooling under high pressure (path A-A '), the air flow is expanded by work (path a, -A ") to a moderate force. (Likewise, for simplicity, , Shown as a complete isentropic expansion). The remaining cooling is done at this intermediate pressure (path A ,, -B,), and the gas flow is expanded (path B'-C) to the storage pressure of LNG. Since the slope of the constant entropy straight line is not as steep as the vapor portion in the phase diagram, the first work expansion step (path A, A ") of the present invention can significantly reduce higher enthalpy. Therefore, the total amount of cooling required in the present invention (the sum of paths A, A, and A ,, -B,) is less than the total amount of cooling required in the prior art (path AB), and it can reduce the amount of liquefaction required. Freezing energy for airflow (ie, freezing compression).

In most prior art processes, the hydride removal step is performed under high pressure, typically using a scrub column with a cold hydrocarbon liquid as the adsorption stream to remove heavy gas from the incoming gas stream. Hydrocarbons. Operating the scrubbing hose under high pressure is inefficient, as it will simultaneously adsorb high amounts of methane and ethane in the gas stream, resulting in subsequent removal of the high amounts of methane and ethane from the adsorption liquid and cooling to become LNG.

Figure 3 shows this embodiment. Figure 3 shows the composition and conditions of the feed gas and the first The diagram is the same. Therefore, the m 1 country A ^ process can be compared with the process of the embodiment in Fig. 1. In the simulation process in Fig. 3, the cooling, separation, and expansion processes of the feed gas in the NGL recovery part are roughly Both are the same as those used in Figure 1. The feed gas enters the processing plant under the pressure of air flow 31 at 90 ° F [32 ° C] and 1,25 8 psia [8,86kPafall], and is exchanged by heat exchange for heat exchange. Device 10 with cold coal flow and -35 ° F [-37 ° C] The side of the alkane section is re-boiled and the liquid in the boiler (airflow 4 1) comes into contact and is cooled.

(Please read the precautions on the back before writing this page.) Compared to the first figure, the amount of energy required to produce one unit of liquid product in the embodiment of the third figure of the present invention is reduced by about 5%. In terms of the available compressed horsepower, the embodiment in FIG. 3 can liquefy 5% more natural gas than the embodiment in FIG. 1 by recovering a smaller amount of C2 and heavy hydrocarbons from NGL by-products. For specific applications, choose to carry out liquefaction according to the examples in Figure 1 or Figure 3. Generally, it depends on the economic value of heavy hydrocarbons in the NGL by-product, or its corresponding value in LNG products, or the LNG. The heating specifications of the product (the heating value of the LNG manufactured by the embodiment in Figure 1 is lower than the heating value of the LNG manufactured by the embodiment in Figure 3). Example 3 Employees of the Bureau of Intellectual Property, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by Consumer Cooperatives If LNG's product specifications allow more of the ethane burned in the feed gas to be recovered from the LNG product, or if the liquid by-product containing ethane burned does not have market value, then this can be used. Another simple reality shown in Figure 4 of the invention Example to produce a LPG by-product gas stream. The composition and conditions of the feed gas in Figure 4 are the same as those in Figures 1 and 3. Therefore, the process of Figure 4 can be compared with the process of the embodiment of Figures 1 and 3. In the simulation process in Fig. 4, the feed gas enters the processor under the pressure of air flow 31 at 90 ° [32t] and 1,258 psia [8,860 jLg_aU]].

Description of the invention () The plant is cooled to -46 ° F by heat exchange in the heat exchanger 10 in contact with cold coal flow and rapid expander liquid [- 43 ° C] (air flow 33a). The cooled gas stream 31a enters the separator 11 at a pressure of -IT [-18 ° C] and 1,278 psia [8.8 1 2 __kPa (al), so that the vapor (gas stream 32) can be separated from the condensed liquid (gas stream 33). The vapor from the separator 11 (airflow 3 2) will enter the work expansion mechanism 15 and the mechanical energy of the grapefruit in this part of the high-pressure feed will be released. Mechanism 15 expands the vapor in a manner that is almost isentropic. Expansion from about 1,278 psia [8,81 2 kP ^ UX] to about 440 psia [3,034-kJELa ^ jjLK Separator / Operating Pressure of Absorber Tower 18), using expansion work to reduce the temperature of the expanded gas stream 32a to about -8 1 ° F [-6 3 ° C]. This expanded and partially condensed gas stream 32a is taken as feed from a position below the separator / absorption column 18 and enters the absorption section 18b. The expanded gas stream is mixed with the liquid flowing down from the absorption section 18b, and then the mixed liquid stream 40 exits from the bottom of the separator / absorption column 18 at -86T 〇66 ° C]. The vapor portion of the expanding airflow passes through the absorption section and rises to contact with the cooling liquid flowing downward to condense and absorb the C3 component and the heavy hydrocarbon component therein. The separator / absorption column 18 is a conventional distillation tube column containing a plurality of vertically spaced discs, one or more packed beds, or a combination of discs and packed beds. In a natural gas processing plant, the separator / absorption tower can consist of two sections. The upper section 18a is a separator, which can divide the upper feed into vapor and its liquid portion, wherein the vapor rises from the lower distillation section or the absorption section 18b, and is separated from the vapor of the upper feed gas (if any Words: page 28 This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm)-(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 580554 A7 V. Description of the invention (combined to form a cooled distilled vapor stream 37 and escape from the top of the tower. It contains a disk or packing material, a lower position of the absorption section 1 8b, and can provide liquid flowing downward and upward. The vapors contact each other to condense and absorb the C3 and heavy hydrocarbon components. The combined gas stream 40 from the bottom of the separator / absorption tower 8 is sent to the heat exchanger η by pump 26 ( Gas stream 40a), and is heated therein to cool the steam (gas stream 42) and cold coal (gas stream 71a) above the demethylation section. The combined liquid stream is supplied and becomes the central inlet of the ethane removal section 19 Before the material is heated to J4T [-3rC] It becomes the partially evaporated gas stream 40b. The separator liquid is rapidly expanded by the expansion valve i 2 to a pressure slightly higher than the operating pressure of the ethane removal section 19 to cool the gas stream 33 to -46T [-43 ° C] (gas stream 33a), After that, it can also provide the cooling effect of the incoming feed gas. After that, the gas stream 33b with a temperature of 85 ° F [29 ° C] can enter the deacetylation section 19 from below the central column feed point. In the ethane removal section In the air flow 40b and 33b, the toluene and C: 2 components will be stripped. The ethane removal section of the tower 19 with an operating pressure of 453 psia [3,123 kP ...,] also contains a plurality of vertical intervals. Tray, one or more packed beds, or a combination of trays and packed beds. The traditional steaming hall column can also be composed of two sections: an upper separator section, which can Any vapor in the top feed is removed from its liquid composition, and the vapor rising from the lower distillation section or the ethane removal section 9b is combined with the vapor part of the top feed (if any) to form a steam hall Air stream 42 leaves from the top of the tower again; and a lower-position ethane-removing section 19b containing disks or fillers, which is Can provide the opportunity for the downward flowing liquid and the rising vapor to contact each other.

Description of the invention () Multiple reboilers (for example, reboiler 20), which can heat and gasify the bottom of some pipe columns Liquid to provide purified vapor flowing upwards to remove the liquid product, namely the methane and C2 components in the gas stream 41. The typical specification of the bottom liquid product is, in terms of mole ratio, the ratio of ethane to propane is 0.020: 1 / the temperature of the liquid product gas stream 41 leaving the bottom of the column is 214 ° F [101 ° C]. The operating pressure of the ethane removal section 19 is maintained slightly higher than the operating pressure of the separator / absorption column 18. This allows the vapor (gas stream 42) above the ethane-removing section to flow at high pressure through the heat exchanger 13 and into the section above the separator / absorption column 18. In heat exchanger 1 3, the temperature is · 19 ° F [-28 ° C], the vapor above the ethane section and the combined liquid stream (air stream 40a) from the bottom of the separator / absorption column 18 and the rapidly expanding The cold coal stream (stream 71 e) is heat exchanged, cooling the stream to -89 ° F [-67 ° C] (stream 42a) and partially condensing. This part of the condensed air enters the reflux drum 22 so that the condensed liquid (air 44) can be separated from the condensed vapor (air 43). The gas stream 43 merges with the distilled vapor stream (gas stream 37), leaves the upper section of the separator / absorption column 18, and forms a cold residual gas stream 47.

Description of the invention () Cold residual gas (airflow 47) is -94T from 70 ° in heat exchanger 24 ( :] It is warmed to 94 ° F [34 ° C], and then a part of it (gas stream 48) is extracted as a strict fuel. The remaining warm residual gas (gas stream 4 9) is expanded by the expansion mechanism 1, 5, Compressor 16 driven by 6 1 and 6 3 compresses. After cooling to 100F [38C] in discharge cooler 25, 'this gas stream 49b can be used with cold residual gas (gas stream 47)' in heat exchanger 24 Interactive hot sex And is further cooled to _78 ° F [-61 ° C]. The air stream 49 c enters the heat exchanger 60 and is further cooled to -255 ° F [-160 ° C] by the cold coal stream 7 ld, which is almost condensed. Then, it enters the work expansion mechanism 61 and extracts its mechanical energy. The work expansion mechanism 61 can expand the liquid gas flow 49d from approximately 648 psia [4,465 to denier] to the LNG storage pressure in a nearly isentropic manner. (15 · 5 psia [107 kP ^ UX]), slightly higher than atmospheric pressure. The work expansion can cool the expanded air stream 49e to about -256 ° F [-160 ° C], after which it will be sent directly to the LNG product that can be stored. (Airflow 50) in the LNG storage barrel 62. Same as the process of Figs. 1 and 3, most of the cooling of airflows 42 and 49c is provided by a closed refrigeration cycle. The composition of this airflow is used as the cycle of the process of Fig. 4 The working fluid, in terms of mole percentage, contains approximately 8.7% nitrogen, 30% methane, 45.8% ethane, and 1 1.0% propane, and the others are composed of heavy hydrocarbons. Cold coal stream 71 Leaved the discharge cooler 69 at a temperature of 100 ° F [38 ° C] and a pressure of 607 psia [4,185Ji £ jXaa]. Then it was cooled in the heat exchanger 10 -17 ° F [-27 ° C] and partially condensed by the partially warmed expansive airflow 7 1 f and other cold gas flows.

Description of the invention () In the simulation process of Figure 4, it is assumed that these other The cold gas stream is three types of propane cold coal with different pressures and temperatures that meet commercial standards. After that, the partially condensed cold gas stream 71a enters the heat exchanger 13 and is further cooled to -89T and 67 ° C by the partially warmed and expanded cold gas stream 71e. It condenses and cools the partially cooled coal gas (airflow 7 1 b). The cold coal series was completely condensed and expanded in the heat exchanger 60 by a cold coal stream 71d further cooled to _ 25 5 ° F [-16 0 ° C]. The ultra-cold liquid stream 71c enters a work expansion mechanism 63, extracts the mechanical energy therein, and is expanded from approximately 586 psia [4,040 kPafaJ] to approximately 34 psia [23 4., k? ..... ^)]). When expanding, part of the airflow will be volatilized, and the total airflow temperature will be cooled down to -264 ° F [-164 ° C] (airflow 71d). Thereafter, the expanded air stream 71d enters the heat exchangers 60, 13, 10, and as it is volatilized and heated, it provides the cooling effect of air stream 49c, air stream 42, and cold coal (air streams 71, 71a, and 71b). Superheated cold coal vapor (71g air stream) leaves heat exchanger 10 at 90 ° F [32C] and is compressed in three stages to 617 psia [4,524 kPa (aJ). Each of these three stages (cold coal The compressors 64, 66, and 68) are all driven by an auxiliary power source, and then a cooler (discharge coolers 65, 67, and 69) is used to remove the heat generated by the compressor. From the discharge cooler 69 The compressed airflow 71 will return to the heat exchanger 10 again to complete the entire cycle.

Similarly, Fig. 9 is another embodiment of the present invention, which requires less equipment than the embodiments of Figs. 3 and 7, and it also needs to consume more specific energy consumption. Figures 10 to 14 show another embodiment of the present invention, which requires less equipment than the embodiment of Figure 4, although it requires a higher specific energy consumption. (Note that as shown in Figures 10 to 14, distillation columns or systems such as the ethane remover 19 include the design of reboiler adsorption towers and the design of reflux and reboiler towers). Figures 15 and 16 are another embodiment of the present invention combining the separator / absorber column 18 and the ethane removal section 19 to a single fractionation tube column 19 of Figures 4. to 10. Depending on the heavy hydrocarbon content in the feed gas and the pressure of the feed gas, the cold feed gas stream 3 1 a leaving the heat exchanger 10 may not contain any liquid (because its temperature is higher than the dew point or because the pressure is higher than its (Condensing pressure), so the separator 11 in Figures 1, and 3-16 is not needed, and the cold feed gas stream can flow directly to a proper expansion device, for example, a work expansion mechanism 15.

Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Employee Consumer Cooperatives, Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed before the air stream is supplied to the heat exchanger 60 for further condensation and cooling, liquid by-products are recovered from it (air stream 37 in Figs. 1, 3, 6 to 11, 13, 14), 4, 12, 15 and 16 The remaining gas deposition after the gas flow 47 in the figure and the gas flow 43 in the figure 5 can be achieved in many ways. In the processes of Figures 1, and 3 to 16, the airflow is heated [compressed to high voltage with energy derived from one or more work expansion mechanisms, partially cooled in a discharge cooler, and then combined with other original The air flow is further cooled by heat exchange. As shown in Figure 17, some applications prefer an auxiliary compressor driven by an external power source 59 to compress the airflow to a high pressure. As shown by the dotted lines in Figures 1, and 3 to 16 (heat exchanger 24 and discharge cooler 25), in some cases it may be preferred to reduce or remove the compressed air before entering the heat exchanger 60 The step of pre-cooling the compressed air flow to reduce the installation cost is achieved by increasing the load of the heat exchanger 60 and increasing the power consumption of the refrigeration compressors 64, 66, and 68. In such cases, the air stream 49a may leave the compressor and flow directly to the heat exchanger 24 as shown in Fig. 18, or directly to the heat exchanger 60 as shown in Fig. 19. If the work expansion mechanism is not used to expand the high-pressure feed gas in any one step, the compressor 16 may be replaced by a compressor driven by an external power source (for example, the compressor 59 shown in Fig. 20). In other cases, the compression of any airflow may not be compensated at all, so the airflow will flow directly to the heat as shown by the dotted line equipment (heat exchanger 24, compressor 16 and discharge cooler 25) in Figure 21 and Figures 1, 3-16. Switch 60. If the gas stream is not heated by the heat exchanger 24 before the factory fuel gas (gas stream 48) is pumped out, an auxiliary heater may be required to consume the gas.

Description of the invention () Before being dropped, use energy airflow or other airflow to provide the necessary thermal energy (such as Figure 19-21) to warm the fuel gas. Generally, different treatment methods are selected after assessing factors such as liquid composition, plant size, desired by-product gas recovery, and available equipment. According to the present invention, the cooling of the incoming air stream and the incoming air stream sent to the LNG production section can be achieved in many ways. In the operations of Figs. 1, 3, 6-9, the inlet gas stream 31 is cooled by the external refrigerant gas stream and the liquid from the fractionation column 19. In the operations of Figures 4, 5, and 10-14, fast-expanding separator liquids and external cold coal flows are used to achieve this. In Figures 15 and 16, the liquid from the fractionation column, the rapidly expanding separator liquid, and the external cold coal stream are used to achieve this. In the operation of Figs. 17-2, only the external cold coal flow is used to cool the inlet gas flow 31. However, the cooling process airflow can also be used to assist the cooling effect of the high-pressure cold coal airflow (airflow 7 1 a), such as shown in Figures 4, 5, 10, and 11. It is also possible to use any airflow having a temperature lower than the temperature of the cooling air to be cooled. For example, vapors taken from the side of the separator / absorption column or from the fractionation column 19 can be used for cooling. For each application, the distribution of the column's liquid and / or vapor and its use as a process heat exchange, and which gas stream is selected for specific heat exchange ', must be carefully evaluated. The choice of cooling source depends on many factors' including but not limited to the composition and condition of the feed gas, the size of the plant, the size of the heat exchange, the temperature of the potential cooling source, and the like. Those skilled in the art will understand that any of the above cooling sources or combinations of cooling methods can be used to achieve the desired purpose.

Description of the invention The feed air flow in the production section can also be achieved in a variety of ways. In Figures 1 and 3-21, a single composition of cold coal is used to stagnate to achieve a high degree of external freezing effect. As for the low degree of external cold east effect, the multi-component cold coal stream is evaporated and used. A single cold heading stream is used to pre-cool the multiple cold heading stream. Alternatively, a single composition of cold coal stream and continuous lowering of the boiling point (also, "cascade refrigenertion"), or a single composition of cold coal that continuously reduces evaporation pressure can be used to achieve high freezing and low freezing effects. Another option is to achieve high freezing and low freezing effects by multi-component refrigerant flow and adjusting its individual components to provide the necessary cooling temperature. The choice of these external refrigeration methods depends on many factors, including, but not limited to, the composition and condition of the feed gas, the size of the plant, the size of the compressor driver, the size of the heat exchange, the temperature of the ambient heat tank, and so on. Those skilled in the art will understand that any of the above cooling sources or cooling methods may be used to achieve the desired purpose. The condensed liquid leaving from the heat exchange 60 (airflow 49 in Figs. 1, 6 and 8; airflow 49d in Figs. 3, 4, 7 and 9-16; airflow 49b in Figs. 5, 19 and 20; Fig. 17 The airflow 49e, airflow 49c in FIG. 18, and airflow 49a in FIG. 21) are subcooling, which can reduce or remove the amount of rapid expansion steam required to expand the airflow to the LNG storage tank 62. Generated when operating pressure. This generally eliminates the need to compress the rapidly expanding vapor, and reduces the specific energy consumption required to manufacture LN G. However, in some cases, it may be preferable to reduce the volume of the heat exchanger 60 and use a fast-expanding gas compressor or page 47.

Description of the invention () The method of depositing any generated rapidly expanding gas to reduce production costs. Although the expansion of individual gas streams is described in the expansion device, other expansion devices can also be used if appropriate. For example, 'Code method feeds a nearly condensed feed gas (flow 3 5 a in Figures 1, 3, 6 and 7) or a medium pressure return gas (flow 39 in Figures 1, 6, 8) Case of swelling. In addition, the supercooled liquid flow leaving the heat exchange 60 (airflow 49 in Figs. 1, 6, and 8; airflow 49d in Figs. 3, 4, 7, and 9-16); airflow 49b in Figs. 5, 19, and 20; The airflow 49e of Fig. 17 'The airflow 49c of Fig. 18 and the airflow 49a of Fig. 21) can be rapidly expanded in isentropy instead of work expansion, but will cause more cooling requirements for the heat exchanger 60' to avoid The rapid expansion vapor is formed during expansion, or the rapid expansion vapor compression is increased, or other devices need to deposit the obtained rapid expansion vapor. Similarly, for the ultra-cooled, high-pressure refrigerant flow leaving the heat exchange 60 (flow 1 1 0 in Figures 1 and 3-21), it is possible to rapidly expand by isoentropy instead of work expansion, and the result will increase due to the need to compress the refrigerant Although the above describes the specific embodiments considered to be preferred by the present invention, those skilled in the art should know that without departing from the spirit of the present invention as defined in the scope of the patent application below, Make many better or further improvements, that is, make the present invention applicable to various situations, the type of feed gas or other needs.
