本技术方案所要解决的技术问题主要有:
1,现有的LNG运输船舶吨位较大,只能进入港口而无法停靠在水深较浅的海岸边,无法与用气设备直接连接,需要中转设备,增加了天然气用气成本;
2,除了设备成本,天然气中转设备需要占用土地,造成天然气用气成本进一步升高;
3,现有的LNG运输船舶、周转船舶等设备,受到行业标准的限制和要求,需要采用真空双层储液罐或单层承压储液罐,特别是装载在船舶等海上设施上的真空双层储液罐,对储罐的出液方式有具体要求:
当采用内外双层均为不锈钢的真空双层储液罐时,可采用下出液方式,该下出液方式利用LNG的重力可实现中压区储罐10向潜液泵箱20提供连续的LNG,但是,真空双层储液罐的内外层均为不锈钢材质时,会造成储液罐成本很高,特别是随着真空双层储液罐的体积增大,成本也将成倍增加。
当采用内层为不锈钢材质、外层为碳钢等保温材质的真空双储液罐时,储液罐的成本可得到有效控制,(碳钢等保温材质的成本远低于不锈钢材质)但是,根据行业标准IGC要求,此形式的真空双层储液罐出液口必须设置在罐体顶部,需要将LNG从顶部抽出。如何将LNG抽出并向LNG气化装置21连续供液,是本发明所要解决的核心问题之一。上述行业标准具体为IGC要求(IGC MSC.370(93)_the latest version of IGC Code)。
为了向海岸边的发电厂等用户提供连续的高压气态天然气,本发明提供了一种不占用土地的浮式液化天然气存储和气化装置,如图1所示,该系统包括船体23,该船体23的最小吃水深度在3-4米之间,船体23可方便停靠在大部分的海岸边,既解决了大型船舶无法与用户直接对接的问题,还解决了天然气中转设备需要占用土地的问题,极大降低了高压天然气的用气成本;
船体23上设置有至少一个中压区储罐10,该中压区储罐10为真空双层储 液罐,真空双层储液罐是存储、运输液化天然气的通用设备,大型的真空双层储液罐制造成本极高,本发明通过使用多个较小的真空双层储液罐分别存储LNG来降低储罐的使用成本,船体23上通常设置4-8个真空双层储液罐,易知,本技术方案对真空双层储液罐的数量并不作限定。船体23上设置多个真空双层储液罐,设计合理的载重量,使得承载真空双层储液罐的船体23可以停靠在水深较小的岸边,方便与发电厂对接。
本技术方案所要解决的如何将LNG抽出并向LNG气化装置21连续供液这一核心问题还可拆解为若干连续的小问题,第一,如何将LNG自中压区储罐10中连续抽出;第二,如何将抽出的LNG连续供应至LNG气化装置中;第三,采用外置潜液泵19和潜液泵箱20时,如何保证潜液泵19的正常工作,即潜液泵箱20液面的控制和潜液泵箱20工作气压的控制,如果进入潜液泵箱20的LNG速度过快,导致潜液泵箱20液面升高过快,潜液泵箱20内工作气压过高会导致LNG无法流入或潜液泵19工作异常,如果流入的LNG速度过慢,潜液泵箱20液面下降露出潜液泵19,会导致潜液泵19损坏,即中压区储罐10与潜液泵箱20的供液配合是很难解决的问题;第四,潜液泵箱20中的空腔通常需要与一个储液腔体导通,用来排出BOG,如果采用中压区储罐10与潜液泵箱20配合,则潜液泵箱20的空腔找不到合适的储液腔体配合,如果单独配置储液腔体,则造成成本不必要的上升;第五,如何实现在中压区储罐10、低压区缓冲罐18、潜液泵箱20之间形成LNG液体流动的简单控制和自动控制。
现有的大型LNG储液罐采用上出液口式时,通常采用潜液泵19抽出LNG的方式,但是,由于LNG本身比重轻,温度低,对潜液泵19有非常高的要求,一套潜液泵19设备的成本往往高达数百万,对天然气的用气成本控制非常不利。特别的,本方案中使用的真空双层储液罐,外层使用碳钢,内层使用不锈钢,由于罐体壁比较薄,很难在罐内设置潜液泵19及配套支架等设备,所以,本方案中无论是从成本考虑还是从实际技术角度考虑,都不倾向于选择内置潜液泵19抽出LNG的方式。
本技术方案中,船体23上设置有至少一个中压区储罐10,中压区储罐10依次与低压区缓冲罐18、潜液泵箱20及LNG气化装置21连接;中压区储罐10 的出液口位于罐体顶部,低压区缓冲罐18的出液口位于LNG底部,液体输出管路11一端自中压区储罐10的出液口延伸至LNG底部,液体输出管路11的另一端与低压区缓冲罐18连接;
本技术方案中,设置了低压区缓冲罐18,该低压区缓冲罐18为真空双层缓冲罐,真空双层缓冲罐的内外双层均为不锈钢材质,为了控制这种成本较高的储罐,真空双层缓冲罐仅设置一个,且真空双层缓冲罐体积较小,其成本相对较低。
由于所有的真空双层储液罐中均设定一定的工作气压,真空双层缓冲罐也有一定的工作气压范围,可将真空双层储液罐的工作气压始终高于真空双层缓冲罐,利用压力差将LNG输送到真空双层缓冲罐中。该压力差即利用压力差将LNG自真空双层储液罐中抽出。
将LNG自中压区储罐10抽至低压区缓冲罐18中后,潜液泵19如果设置在低压区缓冲罐18内部,则仍然存在内置潜液泵19所存在的成本、维护、维修等问题,特别是,潜液泵19一旦出现问题更换时需要停机,导致LNG连续供应的中断,故需要使用单独潜液泵箱20,即形成中压区储罐10、低压区缓冲罐18和潜液泵箱20的连续连接。外置的潜液泵19,制造、安装及维护的成本低、耗电量少、运行平稳。
进一步的,外置的潜液泵19还存在很大问题,在实际运行中很难正常运行并达到连续供液LNG的目的,问题主要有潜液泵箱20液面的控制和潜液泵箱20工作气压的控制,以及潜液泵箱20BOG排放的问题,但是,通过设置真空双层缓冲罐及将真空双层缓冲罐和潜液泵箱20的空腔导通则完美解决了这一系列问题。
真空双层缓冲罐的作用包括:1,向前与真空双层储液罐配合将LNG抽出;2,先后与潜液泵箱20配合,真空双层缓冲罐的出液口设置在LNG底部,恢复了常规的、利用重力的连续LNG供液,由于真空双层缓冲罐通过通气管路24与潜液泵箱20导通,真空双层缓冲罐可同时调整潜液泵箱20的液面和工作气压。例如,LNG快速流入真空双层缓冲罐时,液面升高速度相对较慢,潜液泵箱20内的液面升高速度也相对较慢,这解决了潜液泵箱20体积小,对LNG流速非常敏感和难于控制的问题;3,由于真空双层缓冲罐带有安全放散阀25,还可将潜液泵箱20内的BOG排出。
通气管路24的作用包括:1,导通真空双层缓冲罐和潜液泵箱20,使得真空双层缓冲罐可利用LNG自重实现LNG自动流入潜液泵箱20;2,造成真空双层储液罐、真空双层缓冲罐、潜液泵箱20之间形成自高而低三级压力,这种设计方法造成各压力范围内的设备工作气压范围过窄,设备需要频繁开关,设计成本高,设施损耗大,本方案采用通气管路24将真空双层缓冲罐和潜液泵箱20导通,使真空双层缓冲罐和潜液泵箱20的工作气压始终相同,将三级压力简化为二级压力,还省去了潜液泵箱20内的气压控制设备,由于真空双层缓冲罐和潜液泵箱20的工作气压始终相同,流入真空双层缓冲罐的LNG自动流到潜液泵箱20中。3,可将潜液泵箱20内的BOG导出到真空双层缓冲罐,并利用真空双层缓冲罐的安全放散阀25排出BOG。
自此,完整的LNG连续供液方案完成,在一种优选实施例中:
如图2所示,浮式液化天然气存储和气化装置,包括船体23,船体23上设置至少一个真空双层储液罐,每个真空双层储液罐与真空双层缓冲罐连接,真空双层缓冲罐与潜液泵箱20连接,潜液泵箱20与LNG气化装置21连接;真空双层储液罐的出液口位于罐体顶部,真空双层缓冲罐的出液口位于LNG底部,液体输出管路11一端自真空双层储液罐的出液口延伸至LNG底部,另一端与真空双层缓冲罐连接;真空双层储液罐与真空双层缓冲罐均设置有补气管16,通过补气管16控制真空双层储液罐的工作气压始终大于真空双层缓冲罐,利用该压力差,真空双层储液罐通过液体输出管路11向真空双层缓冲罐提供连续LNG;通气管路24导通真空双层缓冲罐与潜液泵箱20使二者的工作气压始终相同,流入真空双层缓冲罐的LNG连续流入潜液泵箱20;潜液泵箱20通过潜液泵19向LNG气化装置21提供连续的LNG,LNG气化装置21向用气设备提供连续的高压气态天然气。
各中压区储罐10的压力处于中压区范围,真空双层缓冲罐和潜液泵箱20处于低压区范围。
该实施例的技术方案具有如下优势:船上设置多个中压区储罐10,中压区储罐10为真空双层储液罐,设计合理的载重量,使船体23可停靠在水深较小的岸边,吃水深度最小在3-4米之间,方便与用户及发电厂对接,既解决了大型运 输船舶只能停靠在港口等深水区域的问题,又避免了天然气存储和气化装置需要占用土地的问题;真空双层储液罐采用成本较低的外层为碳钢或其他保温材料、内层为不锈钢的罐体,在相同体积下,由于碳钢罐体的成本远低于不锈钢罐体,所以本方案避免使用大型的、价格高昂的大型储液罐,在承载相同LNG重量下,本装置的成本为内外双层均为不锈钢大型储液罐的船体23的10%左右;通过真空双层缓冲罐实现设备对潜液泵箱20及LNG气化装置21连续供液,进而实现对用户或发电厂提供连续高压气态天然气。
上述真空双层储液罐及真空双层缓冲罐也可以设置成单层承压储液罐及单层承压缓冲罐,具体的,单层承压储液罐的罐体为不锈钢材质,外围缠绕保温材料,单层承压缓冲罐的罐体为不锈钢材质,外围缠绕保温材料。
真空双层储液罐、真空双层缓冲罐、单层承压储液罐及单层承压缓冲罐均为C型储罐。C型储罐制造方便、耐用,保温性好。
所述船体23上设置有至少两个中压区储罐10,中压区储罐10的入液口位于罐体顶部,各中压区储罐10通过液体输入管路14与总进液口17并联连接,总进液口17通过液体输入管路14向中压区储罐10提供LNG,总进液口17可同时向多个中压区储罐10提供LNG,也可向单独中压区储罐10提供LNG,各中压区储罐10通过液体输出管路11与低压区缓冲罐18并联连接,每次选定某一个中压区储罐10向低压区缓冲罐18提供LNG。
所述液体输入管路14为钢管或软管,液体输出管路11为钢管或软管。
如图2所示,所述中压区储罐10的入液口上设有上进液喷淋头13。采用上进液喷淋的方式可减少中压区储罐10BOG的产生,增加LNG的储藏时间。
所述各中压区储罐10的出液口处设有控制中压区储罐10是否向低压区缓冲罐18供液的第一开关阀121;各中压区储罐10的入液口处设有控制总进液口17是否向中压区储罐10供液的第二开关阀122;各中压区储罐10的补气管16上设有中压补气阀151,低压区缓冲罐18的补气管16上设有低压补气阀152。
所述中压区储罐10及低压区缓冲罐18内均设置有气压检测计。气压检测计实时检测罐体内的工作气压值。
所述中压区储罐10及低压区缓冲罐18内还设有安全放散阀25。在LNG流入中压区储罐10或低压区缓冲罐18时,安全放散阀25可将含有BOG的保护气体或气态天然气及时排出,避免罐体内气压过高,安全放散阀25还可以过滤回收BOG或气态天然气,避免其对环境的污染和造成资源浪费。
