The running action of hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is described.
The running of hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is carried out with absorption (recovery) operation and these two steps of regeneration (desorb) operation usually.Therefore, behind the explanation absorption process, step for regeneration is described.Usually, in hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100, stream is switched to the airborne release side, be controlled to unlike the authorized pressure height by the pressure of pressure-regulating valve 4 with gasoline storage tank 1 by three-way switch valve 3a.In addition, in present embodiment 1, describe having as the action under the situation of two basic adsorption-desorption towers 14 of hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100.
[absorption process]
From oil truck etc. through oil filling pipe 2 when gasoline storage tank 1 is supplied with gasoline, three-way switch valve 3a is switched to retracting device side (three-way switch valve 3b side), simultaneously, three-way switch valve 3b is switched, and links to each other with hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 with gasoline storage tank 1.At this moment, if beginning is supplied with gasoline to gasoline storage tank 1, the hydrocarbon gas that then riddles gasoline storage tank 1 is discharged from gasoline storage tank 1.The hydrocarbon concentration of the hydrocarbon gas of this moment is about 30~40vol% at normal temperatures.
The hydrocarbon gas of discharging from gasoline storage tank 1, is carried to first heat exchanger 6 by hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 through three- way switch valve 3a and 3b with air.First heat exchanger 6 is by the heat medium cooling that is frozen machine 12 and 13 coolings of second heat exchanger.Usually, the inside of first heat exchanger 6 remains on about 0 ℃ to 5 ℃, contained condensate moisture in the part of hydrocarbon gas and the gas.Therefore, the air that contains hydrocarbon gas that flow into first heat exchanger 6 flows out from first heat exchanger 6 as the mixing object that has mixed aqueous hydrocarbon, hydrocarbon gas, water, air state.This mixes object and flows into gas-liquid separator 8.
The mixing object that flow into gas-liquid separator 8 is separated into gas (hydrocarbon gas and air) and liquid (aqueous hydrocarbon and water) by gas-liquid separator 8.Separated liquid retention is stored temporarily in aqueous hydrocarbon accumulator tank 9 through aqueous hydrocarbon with magnetic valve 10 at the downside of gas-liquid separator 8.In this hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100, as shown in Figure 1, hydrocarbon gas is gone into circulation from the upside of first heat exchanger 6.So, aqueous hydrocarbon and moisture flow downwards effectively because of gravity and gas stream, and the recovery of these liquefaction things is easy.
But, be that 0.5MPa (G), chilling temperature are to turn round under 5 ℃ the condition if make first heat exchanger 6 at pressure, be under the situation of gasoline vapour then at hydrocarbon gas, in first heat exchanger 6, gasoline vapour concentration is about 10vol%.Usually contain butane, iso-butane etc. in the gasoline vapour.It is that 0.5MPa (G), temperature are 5 ℃ of down their saturated concentrations during running at pressure that investigation makes first heat exchanger 6, and the result is that the saturated vapor concentration of butane is about 20vol%, and the saturated vapor concentration of iso-butane is about 30vol%.Under this condition, under the situation that the butane that contains in gasoline vapour, the amount of iso-butane do not have to reduce, gasoline vapour concentration can not reach below the 10vol% in theory.
In addition, by reducing temperature (at the chilling temperature of the gasoline vapour of first heat exchanger 6), can be reduced in the gasoline vapour concentration of the outlet of first heat exchanger 6.But below freezing, then contained water freezes at first heat exchanger 6 in the gas (air that contains hydrocarbon gas) as if the design temperature that makes first heat exchanger 6.So, increase in the loss of first heat exchanger, 6 pressure inside, therefore, the design temperature of wishing first heat exchanger 6 is about 0 ℃ to 5 ℃.
Then, the hydrocarbon gas of discharging from gas-liquid separator 8 is transported to the adsorption-desorption tower 14 that connects in parallel, is adsorbed processing.That is, as shown in Figure 1, two adsorption-desorption towers 14 all flow into the hydrocarbon gas of discharging from gas-liquid separator 8.Therefore, be in two-port valve 16a, two-port valve 17a, two-port valve 18a, two-port valve 19a open (blacking), two-port valve 16b, two-port valve 17b, two-port valve 18b, two-port valve 19b close (whitewashing), and flow controller 20 cuts out the state of (whitewashing).In addition, the gas of discharging from adsorption-desorption tower 14 is discharged into the atmosphere through pressure controller 15.
Enclose the adsorbent that above-mentioned such adsorbed gas shape hydrocarbon is arranged in the adsorption-desorption tower 14.In hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100,, mainly use silica gel as the adsorbent of hydrocarbon gas.Particularly, effectively have the silica gel in 4~10 independent dust apertures or synthetic zeolite or their mixture as adsorbent.That is, pass through in such adsorbent by making hydrocarbon gas, hydrocarbon gas is removed in absorption, becomes the clean air of the following gasoline concentration of 1vol%, through pressure controller 15 to airborne release.
Adsorption-desorption tower 14 is irrelevant with the effect of the adsorption-desorption of hydrocarbon gas, the temperature that the heat medium that quilt is supplied with by liquid circulation pump 11 is cooled to stipulate.That is, the always controlled running of the cooling system of first heat exchanger 6 is so that maintain as design temperature 0~5 ℃ by the refrigerator 12 and second heat exchanger 13.Its reason is, because the adsorbent that is filled in adsorption-desorption tower 14 is by the heat transfer cooling from the heat exchanger of fin-tube heat exchanger etc. (not shown go out), so cool time to a certain degree is integral, and running that can not corresponding moment.Have again, can produce harmful effect to equipment cost in the situation that the short time is cooled off the big refrigerator of such cooling capacity 12, cheap device can not be provided because have.
In addition,, can increase adsorption capacity, reduce the use amount of adsorbent by reducing adsorption-desorption tower 14 temperature inside.But, below freezing, then,, produce the problem of the gasoline adsorption capacity reduction of adsorbent in adsorption-desorption tower 14 so ice is put aside gradually at adsorbent because water freezes as if the internal temperature that makes adsorption-desorption tower 14.Therefore, wish that the internal temperature of adsorption-desorption tower 14 is above freezing.Based on above-mentioned situation, unified by the cooling system that makes first heat exchanger 6 and adsorption-desorption tower 14 in hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100, can reclaim hydrocarbon gas effectively.
For the internal pressure that makes adsorption-desorption tower 14 is pressure 0.5MPa (G) when the absorption, be about 0.02MPa when desorb, and adsorption-desorption tower 14 is made cylindrical conformation.By adsorption-desorption tower 14 is made cylindrical conformation, can make the pressure equalization that is applied to internal face.Therefore, even the pressure in the adsorption-desorption tower 14 are pressurized state, negative pressure state, can warpage etc. yet, can realize safe adsorption-desorption tower 14.In addition,, consider heat transfer, configuration fin-tube heat exchanger (by the aluminium fin time temperature media stream to heat-transfer pipe) to silica gel, synthetic zeolite equigranular adsorbent in the inside of adsorption-desorption tower 14.
Then,, between the aluminium fin, insert adsorbent, prevent nut, prevent that adsorbent from flowing out pipe arrangement, simultaneously, make gas flow good in the outflow of upper and lower settings adsorbent at adsorption-desorption tower 14.Under this situation, even in order to make hydrocarbon gas to the absorption of adsorbent, the cowling panel by making such as perforated metals also can be set, so that hydrocarbon gas flows equably at adsorption-desorption tower 14.Setting in the mode parallel with the flow direction of hydrocarbon gas towards hope of the fin of fin-tube heat exchanger is so that the pressure loss can not become hydrocarbon gas and flow the time.In addition, for cooling effectively is filled near the outer wall adsorbent, also can carry out between fin-tube heat exchanger and outer wall, can not producing the research in gap.
Under this situation, with regard to side with blow vent, be provided with and partly contact such clathrate, tabular metal (aluminium of heat-transfer character excellence, copper the best) with blow vent, with regard to the side that does not have blow vent, long by length than the fin of fin-tube heat exchanger itself, eliminate the gap between outer wall and the fin-tube heat exchanger, this situation is effective.In addition, in order to eliminate the gap portion between outer wall and the fin-tube heat exchanger, also can insert metal bar, finned pipe etc.Have again, wish that before entering heat-transfer pipe, the pipe arrangement branch with heat medium flows is divided into a plurality of with fin-tube heat exchanger, make heat medium in parallel mobile.So, can reduce the pressure loss of the mobile pipe arrangement of heat medium, can reduce the capacity of heat medium to the liquid circulation pump 11 of adsorption-desorption tower 14 supplies.
Have again, in adsorption-desorption tower 14, because hydrocarbon gas flows from bottom to top, so, wish to prevent that the mode that nut joins from disposing so that the granulated sorbent of fin-tube heat exchanger and bottom flows out.In view of the above, can prevent to eliminate the space between nut and the fin-tube heat exchanger, that is, only fill the space of granulated sorbent, can when absorption, fully implement the cooling of granulated sorbent in the granulated sorbent outflow.Its result is, can prevent that the temperature of the existing hydrocarbon gas of part that the hydrocarbon gas at maximum concentration enters from rising, and safe adsorption-desorption tower 14 can be provided.In addition, under the situation that hydrocarbon gas flows from the top down, can certainly make the granulated sorbent outflow on top prevent that nut and fin-tube heat exchanger from joining.
Under the situation that first heat exchanger 6 is not set, because the hydrocarbon gas of high concentration flows into adsorption-desorption tower 14, simultaneously, contained moisture is adsorbed agent absorption in the hydrocarbon gas, the absorption property of hydrocarbon gas reduces, so, the loading of adsorbent is increased.In addition, be reduced under the situation below freezing, existed generation moisture to freeze the possibility of the fault that gas obstruction etc. are big on the surface of adsorbent in temperature with adsorption-desorption tower 14.
Therefore, hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 in relevant present embodiment 1 is provided with first heat exchanger and gas-liquid separator 8 because of the leading portion at adsorption-desorption tower 14, so, moisture is removed with hydrocarbon gas, can prevent the harmful effect of the moisture in the adsorption-desorption tower 14 in advance.In addition, can significantly reduce quantity delivered, simultaneously, can prevent that vaporific hydrocarbon from entering (describing in detail among Fig. 3), therefore, can dwindle adsorption-desorption tower 14, can make at an easy rate to adsorption-desorption tower 14 gas supplied shape hydrocarbons.
Have again, in the hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 of relevant present embodiment 1, because the hydrocarbon gas of the high concentration (40vol%) of discharging from gasoline storage tank 1 is reduced to 10vol% by first heat exchanger 6, so the amount of gasoline of being handled by adsorption-desorption tower 14 is lowered to 1/4 (=10%/40%) with respect to whole traffic attractions.That is, be provided with first heat exchanger 6 and gas-liquid separator 8, can make the volume of adsorption-desorption tower 14 be roughly 1/4 by leading portion at adsorption-desorption tower 14.
[step for regeneration]
The step for regeneration of adsorption-desorption tower 14 is carried out in the following manner, promptly, two adsorption-desorption towers 14 that use during the absorption of hydrocarbon gas (two the adsorption-desorption towers 14 of adsorption-desorption tower that are used for the absorption of hydrocarbon gas) connect in the mode of series connection, connect hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5, first heat exchanger 6, gas-liquid separator 8 between this two tower.Promptly, using gases shape hydrocarbon supply pump 5, attract gas from an adsorption-desorption tower 14 (for example adsorption-desorption tower 14b), the hydrocarbon gas that is adsorbed agent absorption is carried out desorb, supply with to first heat exchanger 6, gas-liquid separator 8 successively, supply with the gas of discharging to another adsorption-desorption tower 14 (for example adsorption-desorption tower 14a), carry out the regeneration of hydrocarbon gas from gas-liquid separator 8.
Again in other words, hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is when adsorbed gas shape hydrocarbon (during absorption process), make from gas-liquid separator 8 effluent air shape hydrocarbons and flow into whole adsorption-desorption towers 14, when hydrocarbon gas is carried out desorb (during step for regeneration), at least one adsorption-desorption tower 14 in a plurality of adsorption-desorption towers 14 (for example adsorption-desorption tower 14b) is connected the upstream side of hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5.Just switch stream by two-port valve, so that when adsorbed gas shape hydrocarbon, make from gas-liquid separator 8 effluent air shape hydrocarbons and flow into whole adsorption-desorption towers 14, when hydrocarbon gas is carried out desorb, switch stream, so that the gas vent of at least one adsorption-desorption tower 14 in the adsorption-desorption tower 14 (for example adsorption-desorption tower 14b) is connected the upstream side of hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5.
After having continued the stipulated time running, switch the switching of two-port valve, never carry out adsorption-desorption tower (for example adsorption-desorption tower 14a) the adsorption-desorption hydrocarbon gas of desorb.Promptly, using gases shape hydrocarbon supply pump 5, attract gas from the opposing party's adsorption-desorption tower 14 (for example adsorption-desorption tower 14a), the hydrocarbon gas that is adsorbed agent absorption is carried out desorb, supply with to first heat exchanger 6, gas-liquid separator 8 successively, to supply with to an adsorption-desorption tower 14 (for example adsorption-desorption tower 14b) from the gas that gas-liquid separator 8 is discharged, carry out the regeneration of hydrocarbon gas.In the hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 of relevant present embodiment 1, the regeneration of hydrocarbon gas is carried out in such operation of stipulated number repeatedly.
Fig. 2 is the summary construction diagram of the structure of expression first heat exchanger 6.According to Fig. 2, first heat exchanger 6, second heat exchanger 13, refrigerator 12 and the heat medium accumulator tank 7 of hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is described.First heat exchanger 6 has the stream that hydrocarbon gas flows.The cold-producing medium that 13 conductings of second heat exchanger are supplied with from refrigerator 12.Refrigerator 12 has freeze cycle, to second heat exchanger, 13 the supply system cryogens.Heat medium accumulator tank 7 stores the heat medium that first heat exchanger 6 is cooled off.Constitute condensing unit by first heat exchanger 6, second heat exchanger 13, refrigerator 12 and heat medium accumulator tank 7.
As shown in Figure 2, first heat exchanger 6 has the stream that a plurality of hydrocarbon gas flow.That is, the heat exchange department 22 that constitutes by the branching portion (collector) 21 that the hydrocarbon gas stream that flows into is cut apart, by the fin-tube heat exchanger that is inserted with at a plurality of heat-transfer pipes of branching portion 21 branches of first heat exchanger 6, the hydrocarbon gas that will discharge from heat exchange department 22 and the interflow portion (Off Star タ one) 23 at aqueous hydrocarbon interflow constitute.By first heat exchanger 6 is made such structure, can reduce the flow velocity of the air that contains hydrocarbon gas, can not can reduce heat exchanger effectiveness, and the pressure loss is reduced.
In addition, do not make the air branch of the hydrocarbon gas that contains big flow, under the situation about cooling off with first heat exchanger 6,, be necessary to make the contact area of heat exchange department 22 to increase in order to accelerate flow velocity.For contact area is increased, be necessary to make the piping length of heat-transfer pipe to increase.Therefore, because piping length increases, produced the problem that the pressure loss further increases.For to should problem, by at first heat exchanger 6, the stream that hydrocarbon gas is flowed branches into a plurality of, prevents the situation of pressure loss geometry character ground increase, can efficiently hydrocarbon gas be liquefied.
Then, the validity of having used the cooling that condensing unit brings is described.
Usually, under the situation of carrying out heat exchange, do not use heat medium etc., the refrigerant piping and object (hydrocarbon gas) pipe arrangement that is cooled is integrated, should integrated part to make thermal insulation construction the most effective.But, contain in cooling under the situation of air of moisture, can not freeze in order to make moisture, be necessary to make the evaporating temperature of cold-producing medium above freezing.Under this situation, produce heat exchanger effectiveness and reduce, the object that is cooled can not be cooled to the problem of set point of temperature.
In the hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 of relevant present embodiment 1, it is characterized in that, use heat medium, by making heat medium free convection, can cool off effectively.Because in first heat exchanger 6, by the power of gravity and gas stream, aqueous hydrocarbon is discharged, so, hydrocarbon gas flows into from the top of first heat exchanger 6, and gas shape and aqueous hydrocarbon flow out from the bottom of first heat exchanger 6.Therefore, supply with hot hydrocarbon gas to the top of first heat exchanger 6, the temperature of the heat medium of the top periphery of first heat exchanger 6 rises.In view of the above, at the periphery of first heat exchanger 6, heat medium produces flowing from bottom to top.
On the other hand, at the periphery of second heat exchanger 13, because heat medium is cooled, so heat medium produces flowing from the top down.In view of the above, at heat medium accumulator tank 7, produce the such heat medium stream in the first heat exchanger top → second heat exchanger top → second heat exchanger bottom → first heat exchanger bottom, even do not stir etc., the object that is cooled (first heat exchanger 6) also can be cooled off effectively.Therefore, wish that first heat exchanger 6 and second heat exchanger 13 are arranged in the heat medium accumulator tank 7 in the mode that becomes the approximate horizontal position.
In addition, in hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100, because by liquid circulation pump 11, heat medium is supplied with to adsorption-desorption tower 14, so, synchronous by the stream that makes the free convection generation in the stream that produces because of the circulation of this heat medium and the heat medium accumulator tank 7, can more effectively cool off processed object.Promptly, as an example, extract heat medium out by bottom from second heat exchanger 13, make heat medium turn back to the top of second heat exchanger 13, can not hinder the such heat medium stream in the first heat exchanger top → second heat exchanger top → second heat exchanger bottom → first heat exchanger bottom, and can cool off processed object effectively.
Because above-mentioned situation, the hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 of relevant present embodiment 1 constitutes condensing unit by first heat exchanger 6, second heat exchanger 13, refrigerator 12, heat medium accumulator tank 7, simultaneously, first heat exchanger 6 and second heat exchanger 13 are configured in heat medium accumulator tank 7, so that heat medium moves at above-below direction, in view of the above, produce convection current, can cool off the object that is cooled effectively in the inside of heat medium accumulator tank 7.
Fig. 3 is the skeleton diagram of the internal structure of expression gas-liquid separator 8.According to Fig. 3, the hydrocarbon that describes gas-liquid separator 8 in detail is removed the impact of performance.As shown in Figure 3, gas-liquid separator 8 has hydrocarbon gas outlet 24, centrifugation portion (gas-liquid separation portion) 25, gas-liquid mixture inlet 26, aqueous hydrocarbon storage portion 27, aqueous hydrocarbon outlet 28, taper screen cloth (mist is removed portion) 29 and heat-barrier material 30.That is, gas-liquid separator 8 has hydrocarbon gas and liquefaction hydrocarbon position (centrifugation portion 25) of separating and the position that hydrocarbon gas is separated with vaporific hydrocarbon (as the taper screen configuration, being taper screen cloth 29).
Gas-liquid mixture inlet 26 becomes the inflow entrance of hydrocarbon gas (comprising air) and aqueous hydrocarbon.Centrifugation portion 25 will be from gas-liquid mixture 26 hydrocarbon gas and the aqueous hydrocarbon centrifugations that flow into that enter the mouth.Hydrocarbon gas outlet 24 flow exports that become by centrifugation portion 25 gas separated.Aqueous hydrocarbon storage portion 27 stores the liquid that is separated by centrifugation portion 25.Aqueous hydrocarbon outlet 28 becomes the outlet of the liquid that is stored in aqueous hydrocarbon storage portion 27.Taper screen cloth 29 is removed vaporific hydrocarbon effectively.Heat-barrier material 30 reduces giving and accepting of heat between gas-liquid separators 8 inside and outside.
By 25 centrifugations of centrifugation portion, gas and liquid are separated from gas-liquid mixture inlet 26 hydrocarbon gas of coming in and aqueous hydrocarbon.But, because if handling flow increases, then aqueous hydrocarbon is accelerated to the impact velocity of the wall of centrifugation portion 25, so, from the vaporific hydrocarbon of aqueous nytron deposits yields.Because vaporific hydrocarbon is by 25 centrifugations of centrifugation portion, so, exist to adsorption-desorption tower 14 and supply with, the problem that makes the performance of the adsorbent of adsorption-desorption tower reduce soon.In order to prevent the generation of this problem, be necessary to remove vaporific hydrocarbon.In order to remove vaporific hydrocarbon, effectively possesses the screen cloth that the aperture is the degree that mist conflicted.
But, have under the situation of screen cloth, if screen cloth is blocked in mist and screen cloth collision, then the pressure loss increases, and therefore, is necessary to remove effectively the mist attached on the screen cloth.Therefore, the gas-liquid separator 8 at hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is provided with the taper screen cloth 29 that cross sectional shape is a upside-down triangle shape.The mist that collides taper screen cloth 29 moves to the central portion that does not have flowing gas substantially (the downside summit of upside-down triangle shape) because of gravity, and is a certain amount of as if having compiled, and then drips.Like this, taper screen cloth 29 is set, can removes the mist that produces because of wall collision effectively, can avoid the performance of adsorption-desorption tower 14 to reduce as far as possible with gas-liquid separator 8 by the top in centrifugation portion 25.
Fig. 4 is that the chart of mist amount to the result of the influence of the exit concentration of the hydrocarbon gas of adsorption-desorption tower 14 investigated in expression.According to Fig. 4, the influence of the amount of vaporific hydrocarbon to the exit concentration of the hydrocarbon gas of adsorption-desorption tower 14 is described.In this Fig. 4, investigated the mist amount to 500L/min, make hydrocarbon gas flow into the influence of exit concentration of the hydrocarbon gas of the adsorption-desorption tower 14 under 20 minutes the situation.In addition, in Fig. 4, be respectively the longitudinal axis represent from adsorption-desorption tower 14 spill concentration (vol%), transverse axis represents to flow into the mist amount of adsorption-desorption tower 14.
As shown in Figure 4, known following investigation result, promptly, in the mist amount that flows into adsorption-desorption tower 14 ((a) shown in Figure 4) under 0 the situation, the concentration that spills from adsorption-desorption tower 14 is 4vol%, in the mist amount that flows into adsorption-desorption tower 14 ((b) shown in Figure 4) under the situation of 100mL/min, the concentration that spills from adsorption-desorption tower 14 is 6vol%, being ((c) shown in Figure 4) under the situation of 200mL/min in the mist amount that flows into adsorption-desorption tower 14, is 8vol% from the concentration that spills of adsorption-desorption tower 14.
As can be seen from Figure 4, by preventing the inflow of mist, can suppress the concentration of the hydrocarbon gas that the adsorption-desorption tower 14 when having handled the hydrocarbon gas of ormal weight discharges to adsorption-desorption tower 14.Based on above-mentioned situation, possesses gas-liquid separator 8, this gas-liquid separator 8 has hydrocarbon gas and liquefaction hydrocarbon position of separating and the position that hydrocarbon gas is separated with vaporific hydrocarbon, in view of the above, can reduce to adsorption-desorption tower 14 gas supplied shape hydrocarbon amounts, can reclaim hydrocarbon gas efficiently.
The running start method of hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is described.
Hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 also can by the driver's operation of oil truck etc. entry into service during step switch.That is, also can be with gasoline when the driver of the oil truck of gasoline storage tank 1 unloading (supply) etc. is unloading gasoline, entry into service when having operated the step switch of hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100.In view of the above, misoperation can be prevented, hydrocarbon gas can be reclaimed efficiently.
In addition, prevent that with regard to possessing oil truck from causing oil to plant with regard to the wrong retracting device that mixes anti-locking apparatus (not shown go out), the also key apparatus interlock that can differentiate with the oil kind in when beginning of unloading, hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 beginnings running automatically.In view of the above, people's operation can be alleviated, hydrocarbon gas can be more stably reclaimed.Have again, the also oil gauge that can manage (not shown go out) interlock with quantity in stock (Fuel Oil Remaining) to gasoline storage tank 1, by the change of pasta position, detect the situation that quantity in stock changed in the short time, the 100 automatic entrys into service of hydrocarbon gas retracting device.Have again, also can link with this device, running is begun automatically and finish to the pouring orifice of gasoline storage tank 1 unloading the electronic sensor (catching the variation (not shown go out) of voltage etc.) of tracer liquid being set from oil truck.In view of the above, can not need people's operation, simultaneously, needn't newly possess senior metering device, can more stably reclaim hydrocarbon gas.
Fig. 5 is the loop diagram of the hydrocarbon gas stream in the step for regeneration of expression hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100.Fig. 6 is the flow chart of the handling process in the step for regeneration of expression hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100.According to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, describe the step for regeneration of the hydrocarbon gas that is adsorbed desorber 14 absorption in detail, that is, and the desorption process of hydrocarbon gas.As mentioned above, two adsorption-desorption towers 14 that the step for regeneration of adsorption-desorption tower 14 used with when absorption be series connection, and the mode of connection hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5, first heat exchanger 6, gas-liquid separator 8 begins between this two tower.Then,, change the order of the adsorption-desorption tower 14 that is connected in series, all carry out the regeneration of hydrocarbon gas from adsorption-desorption tower 14 arbitrarily through after the stipulated time.Carry out this operation of stipulated number repeatedly, carry out the regeneration of hydrocarbon gas.
Hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 makes all two-port valves when absorption finishes be full cut-off.Hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is opened (step S101) with two-port valve 16a, two-port valve 17b, two-port valve 18a, two-port valve 19b, makes 5 work (step S102) of hydrocarbon gas supply pump.Begin first operation (step S101~S105) like this.By making the 5 work stipulated times of hydrocarbon gas supply pump, through two-port valve 17b, attract gas from adsorption-desorption tower 14b, the hydrocarbon gas that is adsorbed agent absorption is carried out desorb (step S103).In addition,, then open two-port valve 19b and stream controller 20, make the air of certain flow flow into adsorption-desorption tower 14b, adsorption-desorption tower 14b pressure inside is roughly maintained necessarily from atmosphere if the pressure in the adsorption-desorption tower 14b is reduced to authorized pressure.
Though adsorption-desorption tower 14b pressure with 0.5MPa (G) when absorption moves, but when desorb, reduced pressure below the atmospheric pressure by hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5, therefore, the hydrocarbon that is adsorbed agent absorption by this pressure differential under the state of simmer down to high concentration by desorb.Under this situation, though depend on gas flow, the adsorbance when adsorbing of hydrocarbon gas, by the pressure in the adsorption-desorption tower 14b is controlled at 0.02~0.04MPa, can make hydrocarbon gas concentration is 30~60vol%.
Hydrocarbon gas after the desorb is supplied with to first heat exchanger 6 by hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5.That is be that 30vol%, pressure are the high concentration of 0.5MPa (G), the hydrocarbon gas of high pressure, to first heat exchanger, 6 supply gas shape hydrocarbon concentrations.Same during with absorption, first heat exchanger 6 is by the heat medium cooling by refrigerator 12 and 13 coolings of second heat exchanger.Usually, the inside of first heat exchanger 6 remains on about 0 ℃ to 5 ℃, a part of condensation liquefaction of hydrocarbon gas.
Therefore, supply with not at the hydrocarbon gas of first heat exchanger, 6 condensations and at the mixing object of the aqueous hydrocarbon of first heat exchanger, 6 condensations to gas-liquid separator 8.This mixing object is separated into gas (hydrocarbon gas and air) and liquid (aqueous hydrocarbon) (with reference to Fig. 3) by gas-liquid separator 8.Separated liquid retention turns back to aqueous hydrocarbon accumulator tank 9 through aqueous hydrocarbon with magnetic valve 10 the downside of gas-liquid separator 8 (aqueous hydrocarbon storage portion 27).
As mentioned above, be that 0.5MPa (G), chilling temperature are to turn round under 5 ℃ the condition if make first heat exchanger 6 at pressure, be under the situation of gasoline vapour then at hydrocarbon gas, in first heat exchanger 6, gasoline vapour concentration is about 10vol%.Usually contain butane, iso-butane etc. in the gasoline vapour.It is that 0.5MPa (G), temperature are their saturated concentration in 5 ℃ of whens running at pressure that investigation makes first heat exchanger 6, and the result is that the saturated vapor concentration of butane is about 20vol%, and the saturated vapor concentration of iso-butane is about 30vol%.Under this condition, under the situation that the butane that contains in gasoline vapour, the amount of iso-butane do not have to reduce, gasoline vapour concentration can not reach below the 10vol% in theory.
In addition, by reducing temperature (chilling temperature of the gasoline vapour of first heat exchanger 6), can reduce the gasoline vapour concentration of the outlet of first heat exchanger 6.But below freezing, then contained water freezes at second heat exchanger 6 in the gas (air that contains hydrocarbon gas) as if the design temperature that makes first heat exchanger 6.So, the loss of first heat exchanger, 6 pressure inside increases, and therefore, the design temperature of wishing first heat exchanger 6 is about 0 ℃ to 5 ℃.
Then, the hydrocarbon gas about the 10vol% that discharges from gas-liquid separator 8 is transported to adsorption-desorption tower 14a and handles.Enclose among the adsorption-desorption tower 14a adsorbent is arranged, the air that contains hydrocarbon gas passes through in this adsorbent, and in view of the above, hydrocarbon gas is adsorbed to be removed, become the clean air of the following gasoline concentration of 1vol%, through two-port valve 18a and pressure controller 15 to airborne release.Through after the stipulated time, stop hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 (step S104), close two-port valve 16a, two-port valve 17b, two-port valve 18a, two-port valve 19b (step S105).In addition, also irrelevant even in when regeneration with the effect of the adsorption-desorption of hydrocarbon gas, always be cooled to uniform temperature by the heat medium of supplying with by liquid circulation pump 11.That is, equally always controlled running during with absorption is so that maintain 0~5 ℃.
Like this, in first operation (first step for regeneration),, can liquefy effectively and reclaim the hydrocarbon gas of discharging from adsorption-desorption tower 14b by cooling under pressurized state, absorption.In addition, when desorb, raise, desorption rate is accelerated, or hydrocarbon gas concentration is thickened by making adsorption-desorption tower 14b temperature inside.But, because temperature swing, the problem that exists consumed energy to increase or can not cool off in time etc. to next absorption process, therefore, aspect energy effectively, the temperature that when desorb, do not raise, but carry out desorb with temperature identical when adsorbing.
Hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 then begins second operation (step S106~step S110) if be through with first operation.Hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is opened two-port valve 16b, two-port valve 17a, two-port valve 18b, two-port valve 19a (step S106), makes 5 work (step S107) of hydrocarbon gas supply pump.Like this, begin second operation (second step for regeneration).By making the 5 work stipulated times of hydrocarbon gas supply pump, attract gas through two-port valve 17b from adsorption-desorption tower 14a, the hydrocarbon gas that is adsorbed agent absorption is carried out desorb (step S108).In addition,, then open two-port valve 18b and flow controller 20, make the air of certain flow flow into adsorption-desorption tower 14a, maintain adsorption-desorption tower 14a pressure inside roughly certain from atmosphere if the pressure in the adsorption-desorption tower 14a is reduced to the pressure of regulation.
Though adsorption-desorption tower 14a pressure with 0.5MPa (G) when absorption moves, but when desorb, reduced pressure below the atmospheric pressure, therefore by hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5, by this pressure differential, the hydrocarbon that is adsorbed agent absorption under the state of simmer down to high concentration by desorb.Under this situation, though depend on gas flow, the adsorbance when adsorbing of hydrocarbon gas,, by the pressure in the adsorption-desorption tower 14a is controlled at 0.02~0.04MPa, can make hydrocarbon gas concentration is 30~60vol%.
Hydrocarbon gas after the desorb is supplied with to first heat exchanger 6 by hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5.That is be that 30vol%, pressure are the high concentration of 0.5MPa (G), the hydrocarbon gas of high pressure, to first heat exchanger, 6 supply gas shape hydrocarbon concentrations.Same during with absorption, first heat exchanger 6 is by the heat medium cooling by refrigerator 12 and 13 coolings of second heat exchanger.Usually, the inside of first heat exchanger 6 remains on about 0 ℃ to 5 ℃, a part of condensation liquefaction of hydrocarbon gas.
Therefore, supply with not at the hydrocarbon gas of first heat exchanger, 6 condensations and at the mixing object of the aqueous hydrocarbon of first heat exchanger, 6 condensations to gas-liquid separator 8.This mixing object is separated into gas (hydrocarbon gas and air) and liquid (aqueous hydrocarbon) (with reference to Fig. 3) by gas-liquid separator 8.Separated liquid retention turns back to aqueous hydrocarbon accumulator tank 9 through aqueous hydrocarbon with magnetic valve 10 the downside of gas-liquid separator 8 (aqueous hydrocarbon storage portion 27).
As mentioned above, be that 0.5MPa (G), chilling temperature are to turn round under 5 ℃ the condition if make first heat exchanger 6 at pressure, be under the situation of gasoline vapour then at hydrocarbon gas, in first heat exchanger 6, gasoline vapour concentration is about 10vol%.Usually contain butane, iso-butane etc. in the gasoline vapour.It is that 0.5MPa (G), temperature are their saturated concentration in 5 ℃ of whens running at pressure that investigation makes first heat exchanger 6, and the result is that the saturated vapor concentration of butane is about 20vol%, and the saturated vapor concentration of iso-butane is about 30vol%.Under this condition, under the situation that the butane that contains in gasoline vapour, the amount of iso-butane do not have to reduce, gasoline vapour concentration can not reach below the 10vol% in theory.
In addition, by reducing temperature (chilling temperature of the gasoline vapour of first heat exchanger 6), can reduce the gasoline vapour concentration of the outlet of first heat exchanger 6.But below freezing, then contained water freezes at second heat exchanger 6 in the gas (air that contains hydrocarbon gas) as if the design temperature that makes first heat exchanger 6.So, the loss of first heat exchanger, 6 pressure inside increases, and therefore, the design temperature of wishing first heat exchanger 6 is about 0 ℃ to 5 ℃.
Then, the hydrocarbon gas about the 10vol% that discharges from gas-liquid separator 8 is transported to adsorption-desorption tower 14b and handles.Enclose among the adsorption-desorption tower 14b adsorbent is arranged, the air that contains hydrocarbon gas passes through in this adsorbent, and in view of the above, hydrocarbon gas is adsorbed to be removed, become the clean air of the following gasoline concentration of 1vol%, through two-port valve 19a and pressure controller 15 to airborne release.Through after the stipulated time, stop hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 (step S109), close two-port valve 16b, two-port valve 17a, two-port valve 18b, two-port valve 19a (step S110).In addition, even when regeneration is also irrelevant with the effect of the adsorption-desorption of hydrocarbon gas, always be cooled to uniform temperature by the heat medium of supplying with by liquid circulation pump 11.That is, equally always controlled running during with absorption is so that maintain 0~5 ℃.
If second operation finishes, then hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 begins first operation (step S111) once more.After this operation of implementing set point number repeatedly, hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 finishes a series of action (step S111; YES).Usually, refuel all these a series of operations repeatedly to gasoline storage tank 1 at every turn.By this action, only with the hydrocarbon gas of maximum 1vol% to airborne release, and can make carrying capacity of environment very little.
In addition, because hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is only with the discharging of the hydrocarbon gas of maximum 1vol%, so, can reclaim the 39vol% in the hydrocarbon gas of 40vol%, organic efficiency is 97.5%, efficient is very high.Have again, because be to have carried out carrying out behind the condensation operation adsorption operations at a temperature band, so, also have and can make significantly miniaturization of adsorption-desorption tower 14, can make the effect of device overall compactization.
Be arranged on the same section bottom of adsorption-desorption tower 14 (among the Fig. 1) of adsorption-desorption tower 14 when in addition, attracting during desorb to the position of adsorption-desorption tower 14 supply gas shape hydrocarbons from the position of the hydrocarbon gas of adsorption-desorption tower 14 and absorption.Because utilization adsorption-desorption tower 14, so that the hydrocarbon gas concentration that makes 14 outlets of adsorption-desorption tower is below 1vol%, so, become when absorption near the hydrocarbon gas steam suction inlet of adsorption-desorption tower 14, hydrocarbon gas adsorbs to high-density, near the hydrocarbon gas outlet of adsorption-desorption tower 14, the state how hydrocarbon gas does not adsorb.
For by condensation, from the hydrocarbon gas of adsorption-desorption tower 14 discharges, be necessary to improve as much as possible hydrocarbon gas concentration when reclaiming desorb effectively.That is, still discharge hydrocarbon gas, can discharge the hydrocarbon gas of high concentration from the part of absorption to high-density.Therefore, in hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100, by the part of adsorbing to high-density from hydrocarbon gas, promptly, near the hydrocarbon gas suction inlet when in adsorption-desorption tower 14, adsorbing, when desorb, attract to discharge hydrocarbon gas, can improve the organic efficiency of hydrocarbon gas.
Certain hour is regularly carried out in oiling to the gasoline storage tank 1 of fueling facilities such as gas station usually mostly.Therefore, produce hydrocarbon gas from gasoline storage tank 1 and be limited to certain regular hour band one day.Therefore, viewpoint from the operating efficiency that improves device, think effectively, be with the adsorption operations that carries out adsorption-desorption tower 14, carry out the regenerative operation of adsorption-desorption tower 14 at the time band that does not produce hydrocarbon gas in the time that produces hydrocarbon gas.
According to above-mentioned situation, the hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 of relevant present embodiment 1 when absorption adsorption-desorption tower 14 to connect with respect to gas-liquid separator 8 modes parallel with one another, reduce the gas flow that flows to an adsorption-desorption tower 14, supply, connects the mode of two adsorption-desorption towers 14 with series connection when desorb from gas-liquid separator 8 effluent air shape hydrocarbons, carry out the adsorption-desorption operation repeatedly, carry out the regeneration of adsorbent, in view of the above, can realize the raising of operating efficiency.
Promptly, hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 is (during absorption process) when the absorption of hydrocarbon gas, can make from gas-liquid separator 8 effluent air shape hydrocarbons and flow into whole adsorption-desorption towers 14, increase the flow of handling gas, when the desorb of hydrocarbon gas (during step for regeneration), at least one adsorption-desorption tower 14 in a plurality of adsorption-desorption towers 14 (for example adsorption-desorption tower 14b) is connected the upstream side of hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5, can carries out the regeneration of hydrocarbon gas.
Fig. 7 is the chart of the relation that changes the exit concentration of the exit concentration of exit concentration, gas-liquid separator 8 of the hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 of expression in the step for regeneration and adsorption-desorption tower 14 and time.Fig. 8 is the switching time of expression in the step for regeneration and the chart of the relation of the exit concentration of adsorption-desorption tower 14.According to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the handover operation of the adsorption-desorption tower 14 in the step for regeneration is described.In Fig. 7, be respectively the longitudinal axis and represent the concentration of hydrocarbon gas (vol%), transverse axis is represented the time (min).In Fig. 8, be respectively the concentration (vol%) that the longitudinal axis is represented the hydrocarbon gas of adsorption-desorption tower 14 outlets, transverse axis is represented the time (min).
Be respectively the exit concentration of representing the hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 in the step for regeneration of adsorption-desorption tower 14b with the open circles mark among Fig. 7, the exit concentration of representing the hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 in the step for regeneration of adsorption-desorption tower 14b with the circle mark of blacking, the exit concentration of representing the gas-liquid separator 8 in the step for regeneration of adsorption-desorption tower 14b with hollow warning triangle, the exit concentration of representing the gas-liquid separator 8 in the step for regeneration of adsorption-desorption tower 14b with the warning triangle of blacking is represented the exit concentration of adsorption-desorption tower 14 with the asterisk mark.From this Fig. 7 as can be known, in step for regeneration, only hydrocarbon gas spills from adsorption-desorption tower 14 in the early stage.Therefore, investigate the influence of switching time to the exit concentration of adsorption-desorption tower 14.
Fig. 8 investigates first switching time to the figure of the influence of adsorption-desorption tower 14 exit concentrations.Among Fig. 8, be respectively the concentration of hydrocarbon gas of the outlet of the adsorption-desorption tower 14 when having represented to carry out the switching of one minute first operation first and second operation with diamond indicia, the concentration of the hydrocarbon gas of the outlet of the adsorption-desorption tower 14 when having represented to carry out the switching of three minutes first operation first and second operation with the fork mark, the concentration of the hydrocarbon gas of the outlet of the adsorption-desorption tower 14 when having represented to carry out the switching of six minutes first operation first and second operation with hollow warning triangle.As can be seen from Figure 8, along with the growth of switching time, the time of discharging hydrocarbon gas from 14 outlets of adsorption-desorption tower also increases.
In view of the situation, known first short more good more to the time that second operation is switched from first operation.On this basis, also clear, if make first from first operation to switching time of second operation below 0.5 minute, then at twice, hydrocarbon gas also spills from the adsorption tower outlet.From this result as can be known, by make first be 0.5 minute~1 minute from first operation to the switching time of second operation, can make the spilling of hydrocarbon gas in the step for regeneration be Min..
Fig. 9 is the chart of the relation that changes the exit concentration of the exit concentration of the hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 of expression in the step for regeneration and gas-liquid separator 8 and time.According to Fig. 9, the influence of the switching time of the adsorption-desorption tower 14 in the step for regeneration to the recovery of hydrocarbon gas is described.In Fig. 9, be respectively the longitudinal axis and represent the concentration of hydrocarbon gas (vol%), transverse axis is represented the time (min).In addition, be respectively Fig. 9 (a) expression with the characteristic under the situation of interval switching in two fens, Fig. 9 (b) expression to be prolonging the characteristic under situation switching time in 2 minutes → 6 minutes → 10 minutes gradually, and Fig. 9 (c) expression is with the characteristic under 2 minutes → 1 minute → situation that shortened switching time gradually in 0.5 minute.In addition, circle mark and warning triangle shown in Figure 9 are identical with circle mark and warning triangle shown in Figure 7.
From shown in Fig. 9 (b) as can be known, by prolonging switching time gradually, the exit concentration of hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 reduces.This is illustrated in the not liquefaction of first heat exchanger, 6 hydrocarbon gas.That is, the hydrocarbon gas of discharging from adsorption-desorption tower 14b only is that former state ground moves to adsorption-desorption tower 14a, and energy is consumed in vain.On the other hand, from shown in Fig. 9 (c) as can be known, by shortening switching time gradually, the reduction of the exit concentration of hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 is inhibited.Hence one can see that, and the amount of the difference of the exit concentration of the exit concentration of hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5 and gas-liquid separator 8 is liquefied, and by switching, can effectively hydrocarbon gas be liquefied.
From above-mentioned situation as can be known, by accelerating (shortening) switching time that makes adsorption-desorption tower 14 gradually, can effectively hydrocarbon gas be liquefied.Therefore, in the hydrocarbon gas retracting device 100 of relevant present embodiment 1,, seek the raising of energy efficiency by accelerating gradually the switching time of adsorption-desorption tower 14.

In Figure 10, be respectively the outlet pressure (kPa[abs]) that the left side longitudinal axis is represented hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5, the right side longitudinal axis is represented the inlet pressure (kPa[abs]) of hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5, transverse axis is represented gas flow (L/min).In addition, in Figure 10, be respectively the outlet pressure that warning triangle is represented hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5, circle mark is represented the inlet pressure of hydrocarbon gas supply pump 5.In Figure 11, be respectively the left side longitudinal axis represent gas temperature (℃), the right side longitudinal axis is represented compression ratio (-), transverse axis is represented gas flow (L/min).In addition, in Figure 11, be respectively warning triangle and represent gas temperature, circle mark is represented compression ratio.
From as can be known shown in Figure 10, along with gas flow increases, outlet pressure reduces, and in addition, along with gas flow increases, inlet pressure increases.In step for regeneration, because be necessary to improve hydrocarbon gas concentration, so, be necessary to reduce the pressure in the adsorption-desorption tower 14b.That is, be about 40vol% for making hydrocarbon gas concentration, must make inlet pressure below 40kPa.Therefore, gas flow is below 200L/min.In addition, under the situation that contains the butane that is difficult to liquefy, iso-butane, be necessary to make hydrocarbon gas concentration about 60vol%, must make inlet pressure below 30kPa.Therefore, gas flow is below 100L/min.
From as can be known shown in Figure 11, because if gas flow reduces, then the heat of being taken away by gas reduces, so gas temperature rises.Being under the situation of object with the gasoline vapour as hydrocarbon gas, because the natural ignition temperature of gasoline vapour is about 250 ℃, so, be necessary to make gas temperature to drop to below 200 ℃.That is,, must make gas flow more than 40L/min in order to make gas temperature below 200 ℃.From these situations as can be known, for using gases shape hydrocarbon supply pump 5 only carries out the adsorption-desorption operation, can make the scope of gas flow at 40~200L/min, good is the scope of 40~100L/min.
