Definitions
- the present invention relates to a boil-off gas processing apparatus and a liquefied gas tank, and more particularly to a boil-off gas processing apparatus for re-liquefying boil-off gas and returning it to the liquefied gas tank, and a liquefied gas tank equipped with the boil-off gas processing apparatus.
- liquefied gas such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is enclosed in a liquefied gas tank in facilities and equipment such as transportation tankers, import bases, storage bases, and liquefied gas fuel tanks of ships. Stored. Even if the liquefied gas tank is provided with a heat insulation measure, the liquefied gas evaporates due to the intrusion heat from the outside of the tank to the inside of the tank.
- LNG liquefied natural gas
- LPG liquefied petroleum gas
- evaporated gas hereinafter referred to as “boil-off gas”
- the gas vapor pressure in the liquefied gas tank rises, and the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas tank is saturated with the liquefied gas surface temperature. It becomes a pressure and becomes a gas-liquid equilibrium state. Further, the heated liquefied gas gathers on the liquid surface portion of the liquefied gas tank by convection accompanying the temperature rise, and forms a liquid layer (upper high temperature layer) higher than the entire temperature of the liquefied gas. And a vapor-liquid equilibrium state is maintained between this upper high temperature layer and a gas vapor phase.
- the intrusion heat into the liquefied gas tank is carried to the upper high temperature layer by the convection of the liquefied gas and raises the temperature of the upper high temperature layer. Therefore, the temperature of the upper high temperature layer rises in a relatively short time, and the pressure of the gas vapor phase that balances with the temperature of the upper high temperature layer also rises. Since the upper high temperature layer is thinner (smaller amount) than the lower low temperature layer that occupies most of the liquefied gas, it rises to a predetermined pressure (upper limit value) of the liquefied gas tank in a relatively short time.
- boil-off gas is transferred to an external gas processing device by a compressor or the like.
- the gas processing device includes, for example, a reliquefaction device that cools boil-off gas with a low-temperature medium such as nitrogen gas, liquefies it, and returns it to the liquefied gas tank, a gas using device that burns in a boiler or a gas-fired engine, and is used as an energy source,
- gas incineration and disposal devices for burning and discarding gas, and devices for discarding to the atmosphere such as gas flares and gas vent devices.
- the BOG return pipe is branched from the middle of the BOG extraction pipe for taking out the BOG (boil-off gas) generated in the low-temperature liquefied gas tank, and the BOG return pipe is placed in the low-temperature liquefied gas tank.
- the tip is opened near the bottom of the tank.
- a net for injecting BOG as a small-diameter bubble is attached to the lower end outlet which is the tip of the BOG return pipe, and the BOG taken out from the BOG take-out pipe is passed through the BOG return pipe through the net. It is designed to be ejected into low-temperature liquefied gas as small-diameter bubbles.
- Such a processing method re-liquefies the boil-off gas.
- BOG blow-off gas
- a liquefied gas tank of a liquefied gas carrier is reformed, supplied to the fuel cell as fuel, and the fuel cell generates power. It is a thing.
- Such a processing method uses boil-off gas as an energy source.
- Patent Document 2 requires a fuel cell facility equipped with a fuel cell, a reformer, and the like, resulting in a large equipment cost.
- the boil-off gas when used as an energy source in this way, the amount of boil-off gas generated may exceed the energy consumption. In such a case, the boil-off gas must eventually be incinerated or discarded. There was also a problem of not becoming.
- the present invention was devised in view of the above-described problems, and reduces the equipment cost and operation cost required for boil-off gas processing, and can suppress the boil-off gas incineration or disposal. And it aims at providing a liquefied gas tank.
- a boil-off gas processing apparatus that re-liquefies boil-off gas generated in a liquefied gas tank that stores liquefied gas and returns the boil-off gas to the liquefied gas tank, and discharges the boil-off gas from the liquefied gas tank to the outside.
- a boil-off gas processing apparatus characterized by maintaining a pressure necessary for re-liquefying the boil-off gas and having a length capable of releasing heat necessary for re-liquefaction of the boil-off gas.
- a liquefied gas tank having a heat insulating container for storing the liquefied gas, the boil-off gas processing device for re-liquefying the boil-off gas generated in the liquefied gas tank and returning it to the liquefied gas tank.
- a boil-off gas discharge line that discharges the boil-off gas to the outside from the liquefied gas tank; and a boil-off gas reliquefaction line in which at least a part of the boil-off gas discharge line is immersed in the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas tank;
- the boil-off gas reliquefaction line has a length capable of maintaining a pressure necessary for reliquefaction of the boiloff gas and releasing a heat amount necessary for reliquefaction of the boiloff gas.
- a liquefied gas tank is provided.
- the boil-off gas reliquefaction line has pressure holding means for condensing and collecting the boil-off gas and discharging the boil-off gas into the liquefied gas as a liquid. Also good.
- the boil-off gas re-liquefaction line may re-liquefy all of the boil-off gas and release it into the liquefied gas, or may re-liquefy part of the boil-off gas and release it into the liquefied gas. Good.
- an external induction line that guides the boil-off gas reliquefaction line to the outside of the liquefied gas tank, and a pressure that is disposed at a tip of the external induction line to condense and collect the boil-off gas and discharge the boil-off gas as a liquid
- You may have a holding means and a return line which returns the liquid discharge
- a liquid receiving tank for temporarily receiving the liquid discharged from the pressure holding means may be provided between the pressure holding means and the return line.
- the boil-off gas discharge line may include a compressor that discharges or boosts the boil-off gas.
- the boil-off gas reliquefaction line is maintained at a predetermined pressure and is formed to have a predetermined length.
- Heat exchange is performed with the liquefied gas stored in the liquefied gas tank.
- the boil-off gas can be re-liquefied in the boil-off gas re-liquefaction line, and the boil-off gas can be re-liquefied and then released to the liquefied gas tank. Therefore, a special reliquefaction device is not required, and the equipment cost and operation cost required for processing the boil-off gas can be reduced.
- the boil-off gas can be discharged from the gas vapor phase so that the inside of the liquefied gas tank does not reach a predetermined pressure, and the discharged boil-off gas can be re-liquefied and returned to the liquefied gas tank. Therefore, incineration or disposal of boil-off gas can be suppressed.
