Description
本願は、2011年1月13日に日本に出願された特願2011-004752について優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
このGTL技術に用いられる炭化水素合成反応装置では、媒体液(例えば、液体の炭化水素など)中に固体の触媒粒子(例えば、コバルト触媒など)を懸濁させてなるスラリーが収容された反応器本体の内部で、合成ガス中の一酸化炭素ガスと水素ガスとをFT合成反応させることで炭化水素を合成する。
この種の触媒回収システムとして、例えば下記特許文献1に示すような構成が知られている。この触媒回収システムは、スラリーを反応器本体から抜き出すための第1の流路と、抜き出したスラリーを貯留する貯留タンクと、貯留タンクのスラリーを処理するための第2の流路と、第2の流路の上流側から下流側に向けて設けられた複数のフィルタと、を備えている。
また、スラリーから分離された触媒粒子を排出するときには、フィルタによって濾過され固形物となった状態の触媒粒子を排出するため、フィルタによるスラリーの濾過を停止する必要があるとともに人手による操作、作業が多く、効率が悪いという問題もある。
さらに、固形物となった状態の触媒粒子を排出するときに、触媒粒子が酸化により発熱し易く、排出した触媒粒子を処理し難いという問題もある。
ここで濃縮スラリー生成部が、濃縮スラリーを連続的に生成するので、反応器本体からスラリーを抜き出すのを止めずに、スラリーを抜き出し続けながら濃縮スラリーを生成し続け、スラリーから触媒粒子を分離することができる。これにより、前記従来技術のように、貯留タンクに一端、スラリーを貯留しなくても、スラリーから触媒粒子を分離することが可能になり、この触媒回収システムが、貯留タンクおよび貯留タンク外のフィルタを備えた構成でなくても良く、触媒回収システムの簡素化、小型化を図ることができる。
また第1排出部が、固形状の触媒粒子に比べて流動性が高い濃縮スラリーを排出するので、排出作業を簡便化することが可能になる。これにより、スラリーから触媒粒子を効率良く分離させることができる。
さらに回収機構において、濃縮スラリーが凝固スラリーとして回収され、触媒粒子の表面が、凝固した媒体液でコーティングされているので、排出された触媒粒子と空気との接触を抑えることが可能になり、触媒粒子の酸化を抑制することができる。
以上のように、沈降分離槽内に前記区画壁と前記連通路が設けられていることから、濃縮スラリーを沈降分離槽内から排出しつつ、清澄スラリーを沈降分離槽内から導出することができる。
このように、傾斜壁の傾斜角度が、触媒粒子の安息角以上となっているので、スラリー中の触媒粒子の少なくとも一部を、傾斜壁に沿って円滑に沈降させることが可能になり、触媒粒子をより効果的に沈降させることができる。
以上により、第1排出部を通した沈降分離槽内と外部との連通を遮断した状態で、沈降分離槽から濃縮スラリーを排出することが可能になり、濃縮スラリー排出時における沈降分離槽内の圧力を安定させることができる。
このように、冷却ホッパーに前記ガス廃棄路が設けられているので、冷却ホッパー内でガスが滞留するのを抑制することができる。
また、本発明に係る炭化水素合成反応装置および炭化水素合成反応システムによれば、前記装置およびシステムの小型化および簡素化を図ることができる。
図1に示すように、液体燃料合成システム(炭化水素合成反応システム)1は、天然ガス等の炭化水素原料を液体燃料に転換するGTLプロセスを実行するプラント設備である。この液体燃料合成システム1は、合成ガス生成ユニット3と、FT合成ユニット(炭化水素合成反応装置)5と、アップグレーディングユニット7とから構成される。合成ガス生成ユニット3は、炭化水素原料である天然ガスを改質して一酸化炭素ガスと水素ガスを含む合成ガスを製造する。FT合成ユニット5は、製造された合成ガスからFT合成反応により液体の炭化水素化合物を生成する。アップグレーディングユニット7は、FT合成反応により合成された液体の炭化水素化合物を水素化・精製して液体燃料その他の製品(ナフサ、灯油、軽油、ワックス等)を製造する。以下、これら各ユニットの構成要素について説明する。
合成ガス生成ユニット3は、例えば、脱硫反応器10と、改質器12と、排熱ボイラー14と、気液分離器16および18と、脱炭酸装置20と、水素分離装置26とを主に備える。脱硫反応器10は、水素化脱硫装置等で構成されて原料である天然ガスから硫黄成分を除去する。改質器12は、脱硫反応器10から供給された天然ガスを改質して、一酸化炭素ガス(CO)と水素ガス(H2)とを主成分として含む合成ガスを製造する。排熱ボイラー14は、改質器12にて生成した合成ガスの排熱を回収して高圧スチームを発生する。気液分離器16は、排熱ボイラー14において合成ガスとの熱交換により加熱された水を気体(高圧スチーム)と液体とに分離する。気液分離器18は、排熱ボイラー14にて冷却された合成ガスから凝縮分を除去し気体分を脱炭酸装置20に供給する。脱炭酸装置20は、吸収塔(第2吸収塔)22と、再生塔24と、を有する。吸収塔22では、気液分離器18から供給された合成ガスに含まれる炭酸ガスが吸収液によって吸収される。再生塔24では、炭酸ガスを吸収した吸収液が炭酸ガスを放散し、吸収剤が再生される。水素分離装置26は、脱炭酸装置20により炭酸ガスが分離された合成ガスから、当該合成ガスに含まれる水素ガスの一部を分離する。ただし、上記脱炭酸装置20は場合によっては設けないこともある。
CH4+CO2→2CO+2H2 ・・・(2)
FT合成ユニット5は、例えば、気泡塔型反応器(反応器本体)30と、気液分離器34と、分離器36と、気液分離器38と、第1精留塔40と、触媒回収システム80と、を主に備える。気泡塔型反応器30は、上記合成ガス生成ユニット3で製造された合成ガス、即ち、一酸化炭素ガスと水素ガスとからFT合成反応により液体炭化水素化合物を合成する。気液分離器34は、気泡塔型反応器30内に配設された伝熱管32内を通過して加熱された水を、水蒸気(中圧スチーム)と液体とに分離する。分離器36は、気泡塔型反応器30の中央部に接続され、触媒と液体炭化水素化合物を分離する。気液分離器38は、気泡塔型反応器30の塔頂に接続され、未反応合成ガス及び気体炭化水素化合物を冷却する。第1精留塔40は、気泡塔型反応器30から分離器36、気液分離器38を介して供給された液体炭化水素化合物を各留分に分留する。
このとき、排熱ボイラー14において合成ガスにより加熱された水は気液分離器16に供給される。そして、この合成ガスにより加熱された水は、気液分離器16において高圧スチーム(例えば3.4~10.0MPaG)と、水とに分離される。分離された高圧スチームは、改質器12または他の外部装置に供給され、分離された水は排熱ボイラー14に戻される。
分離された液体炭化水素化合物は、第2精留塔70に導入され、気体分(水素ガスを含む。)は、上記水素化反応に再利用される。
第2精留塔70の中央部からは灯油及び軽油が排出される。一方、第2精留塔70の塔頂からは、C10以下の気体炭化水素化合物が排出されて、ナフサ・スタビライザー72に導入される。
触媒回収システム80は、気泡塔型反応器30に収容されたスラリーから触媒粒子を回収する。この触媒回収システム80は、濃縮スラリー生成部82と、第1排出部84と、清澄流路86と、遠心分離機88と、第2排出部90と、凝固スラリー生成部91と、回収機構92とを備えている。
濃縮スラリー生成部82は、気泡塔型反応器30から抜き出されたスラリーを濃縮して濃縮スラリーを連続的に生成する。濃縮スラリーは、濃縮スラリー生成部82から第1排出部84を通じて排出される。清澄流路86は、濃縮スラリーと比較して触媒粒子含有量の少ない清澄スラリーを濃縮スラリー生成部82から導出する。清澄スラリーは、清澄流路86から遠心分離機88に供給される。遠心分離機88によって清澄スラリーから分離された残触媒含有スラリーは、第2排出部90を通じて排出される。凝固スラリー生成部91は、濃縮スラリー生成部82から排出された濃縮スラリー、および遠心分離機88から排出された残触媒含有スラリーを冷却して媒体油を凝固させて凝固スラリーを生成する。凝固スラリーは、回収機構92によって凝固スラリー生成部91から回収される。
図3に示すように、沈降分離槽94は、上下方向に延在する筒状の密閉容器であり、沈降分離槽94の底壁部は、下側に向かうに従い漸次、縮径する逆テーパー状に形成されるとともに、沈降分離槽94の頂壁部は上方に向けて膨出している。
さらに複数の傾斜壁112のうち、下傾斜壁112aよりも上側に位置する他の傾斜壁112の上端と、沈降分離槽94の周壁部の内周面と、の間には隙間があいている。
図3に示すように、界面検出手段126には、触媒回収システム80の各構成を制御可能な制御部130が電気的に接続されており、この制御部130には、界面検出手段126によって検出された濃縮スラリーの界面データが送出される。
一時ホッパー134には、一時ホッパー134内を加熱するホッパー加熱手段142と、一時ホッパー134内の濃縮スラリーを加圧する第1ホッパー加圧手段144と、が設けられている。
なおホッパー加熱手段142は、熱伝導部142aが電熱線で形成されるとともに、熱源供給部142bが熱源としての電気エネルギーを熱伝導部142aに供給する構成としてもよい。
第1ホッパー加圧手段144は、一時ホッパー134内に不活性ガスを供給することで、一時ホッパー134内の濃縮スラリーを加圧する。図示の例では、不活性ガスとして窒素ガスを採用している。
遠心分離機88は、例えば縦型構造となっており、清澄スラリーを遠心分離することで、残触媒含有スラリーと分離油とに分離する。残触媒含有スラリーは、清澄スラリー中に残った触媒粒子を含有し、分離油は、清澄スラリーよりも清澄とされ、例えば、粒径が0.1μm以下でごく少量の触媒粒子と、媒体油と、を含有している。
また遠心分離機88には、分離油が貯留される分離油槽148が接続されている。
第2ホッパー加圧手段160は、残触媒ホッパー152内に不活性ガスを供給することで、残触媒ホッパー152内の残触媒含有スラリーを加圧する。図示の例では、不活性ガスとして窒素ガスを採用している。
冷却手段164は、冷却ホッパー162内に冷却水を供給する。
破砕手段166は、冷却ホッパー162内に設けられており、この破砕手段166としては、例えば二軸回転式のスクリューを有する構成を採用することができる。
移送手段170は、凝固スラリーから冷却水を除去しながら移送する。図示の例では、移送手段170は、スクリューコンベアとされており、凝固スラリーを移送するスクリュー170aと、スクリュー170aを収容するケース170bと、を備えている。
また沈降分離槽94内は、スラリーで満たされ、沈降分離槽94内の圧力は、気泡塔型反応器30内の圧力(例えば、3.6MPaG程度)と同等となっているものとする。さらに、沈降分離槽94内のスラリーは、濃縮スラリーと清澄スラリーとに沈降分離されており、濃縮スラリーの沈降界面は、下室104内に位置しているものとする。
なお、この濃縮スラリー生成工程は、例えば気泡塔型反応器30内のスラリーが僅かとなって抜き出されなくなる程度まで継続して行うことができる。
以上で導出工程が終了する。
なお本実施形態では、沈降促進バッフル108の下端と流路壁114との間に前記微小隙間116があいているので、上室106内で触媒粒子が沈降すると、この微小隙間116を通して下室104内に移動する。
以上で第1排出工程が終了する。このように、第1排出工程は、第1排出部84を通した沈降分離槽94内と外部との連通を遮断した状態で行うことができる。
この第2排出工程では、各バルブ156、158により第2上流路150および第2下流路154を予め閉状態にしておく。そしてまず、第2上バルブ156を作動させて第2上流路150を開状態として、第2上流路150を通して遠心分離機88内の残触媒含有スラリーを残触媒ホッパー152内に排出する。その後、第2上バルブ156を作動させて第2上流路150を閉状態とした後、第2下バルブ158を作動させて第2下流路154を開状態し、第2下流路154を通して残触媒ホッパー152内の残触媒含有スラリーを排出する。このとき、第2ホッパー加圧手段160によって残触媒ホッパー152内の残触媒含有スラリーを加圧することで、残触媒ホッパー152から残触媒含有スラリーを確実に排出させることができる。
以上で第2排出工程が終了する。
そして回収工程では、まず、冷却ホッパー162内の破砕手段166によって凝固スラリーを破砕する。この凝固スラリーでは、触媒粒子の表面が、凝固した媒体油でコーティングされる。
なお、冷却ホッパー162内の排出スラリーからガスが発生するが、このガスは、ガス廃棄路172を通して廃棄される。
また、濃縮スラリー生成部82が前記沈降分離槽94を備えているので、沈降分離によって濃縮スラリーを連続的に生成することが可能になり、触媒回収システム80の更なる簡素化を図ることができる。
さらに回収機構92において、濃縮スラリーが凝固スラリーとして回収され、触媒粒子の表面が、凝固した媒体油でコーティングされているので、排出された触媒粒子と空気との接触を抑えることが可能になり、触媒粒子の酸化を抑制することができる。
さらに、傾斜壁112の傾斜角度θが、触媒粒子の安息角以上となっているので、スラリー中の触媒粒子の少なくとも一部を、傾斜壁112に沿って円滑に沈降させることが可能になり、触媒粒子をより効果的に沈降させることができる。
さらに、第1排出部84を通した沈降分離槽94内と外部との連通を遮断した状態で、沈降分離槽94から濃縮スラリーを排出することが可能になり、濃縮スラリー排出時における沈降分離槽94内の圧力を安定させることができる。
さらに、一時ホッパー134に前記ホッパー加熱手段142が設けられているので、一時ホッパー134内の濃縮スラリー中の媒体油が温度低下して凝固するのを抑制することが可能になり、一時ホッパー134から濃縮スラリーを確実に排出させることができる。

さらに、本実施形態に係る液体燃料合成システム1によれば、簡素化および小型化されたFT合成ユニット5を備えているので、該システムの小型化および簡素化を図ることができる。
さらに前記実施形態では、回収機構92は、破砕手段166、触媒受槽168および移送手段170を備えているが、凝固スラリー生成部91から凝固スラリーを回収するものであれば、異なる構成を採用することも可能である。
さらに、前記実施形態では、触媒回収システム80は、遠心分離機88および第2排出部90が設けられているが、これらは無くてもよい。例えば、清澄流路86から分離油槽148に清澄スラリーが導出される構成であってもよい。なおこの場合、凝固スラリー生成部91は、濃縮スラリーを排出スラリーとして冷却し、凝固スラリーを生成する。
さらに、前記実施形態では、沈降分離槽94内に集油管122が設けられているが、集油管122は無くてもよい。
また、前記実施形態では、沈降分離槽94内に傾斜壁112が設けられているが、傾斜壁112は無くてもよい。さらに、前記実施形態では、沈降促進バッフル108は傾斜しているが、傾斜しておらず、単に下室104と上室106とを区画している区画壁であってもよい。
また、濃縮スラリー生成部82は、気泡塔型反応器30から抜き出されたスラリーを濃縮して濃縮スラリーを連続的に生成するものであれば、前記実施形態に示すものに限られず、適宜変更することが可能である。
