Description

Liquefied natural gas de-heavy hydrocarbon apparatus and method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the de-weight of MRC (azeotrope refrigeration) technique LNG (liquefied natural gas) of a kind of improvement Hydrocarbon devices and methods therefor, compared with current existing LNG de-heavy hydrocarbon apparatus and method thereof, the invention enables de- Heavy hydrocarbon process requirements equipment reduces, and flow process is compacter, and operation easier reduces, under variable working condition or different makings Adaptability dramatically increase.
Background technology
Along with LNG industry develops rapidly in recent years, MRC technique LNG device is used gradually to increase.And at this Whether in a little devices, the removing of natural gas heavy hydrocarbon is a very important link, also contribute to LNG device and can Even running.Current domestic MRC refrigeration process LNG device takes off heavy hydrocarbon technique mainly to be had following several existing Technology;
1, Conventional cryogenic separating technology:
Such as Fig. 1, including azeotrope circulating device, and natural gas liquefaction device, and de-heavy hydrocarbon apparatus.
Room temperature in azeotrope circulating device, low-pressure vapor phase cryogen, after refrigerant compressor compresses, are divided into height Phase of calming the anger cryogen and high-pressure liquid phase cryogen two-way, high-pressure liquid phase cryogen through heavy hydrocarbon exchanger heat exchange after with high pressure The mixing of gas phase cryogen obtains high pressure mixing cryogen and enters from the top of ice chest, and from top to down with from bottom to top Reflux azeotrope carry out heat exchange, time to ice chest obtain low temperature liquid phase cryogen, azeotrope temperature It is about-150 DEG C, then through valve expansion throttling, it is thus achieved that lower temperature, the liquid-phase mixing cryogen of lower pressure, Flowing from bottom to top, and carry out heat exchange with high temperature azeotrope, the unstripped gas of both sides, azeotrope is multiple Rise to room temperature after heat by ice chest Base top contact, again enter compressor and complete a kind of refrigeration cycle.
Purifying raw natural gas to enter from ice chest top, from ice chest, cold section of extraction, is divided by cold catch pot After heavy hydrocarbon, return to ice chest continue cooling, finally obtain LNG product from ice chest bottom, and send to after treatment Storage tank.
The heavy hydrocarbon of cold catch pot bottom removing carries out heat exchange with high-pressure liquid phase cryogen and reclaims cold.Treated After send to storage tank.
In said apparatus start-up process, the thermograde of ice chest has a process gradually built up.Setting up Cheng Zhong, the temperature before the unstripped gas drawn in the middle part of ice chest enters cold catch pot can't drop to temperature required, Will result in heavy hydrocarbon natural gas off quality and introduce the bottom of ice chest heat exchanger, will result in startup procedure low temperature Blocking risk increases, and therefore, above-mentioned Conventional cryogenic separating technology generally also needs to increase by one group of heat exchanger that goes into operation. As CN201320066196.5-LNG produces the removing heavy hydrocarbon apparatus of equipment.The heat exchanger that goes into operation is positioned at heavy hydrocarbon and divides (not shown in figure 1) before device, it is ensured that when initial stage ice chest top of driving cannot provide cold, raw material Gas cools to about one 60 DEG C by the heat exchanger that goes into operation, the most again by cold catch pot by heavy hydrocarbon condense after from Unstripped gas is separated.
2, the heavy hydrocarbon separating technology of band washing:
Such as Fig. 2, azeotrope circulating device is compared with technology 1.
Purify raw natural gas and lead to heavy hydrocarbon scrubbing tower from ice chest precooling zone, return in ice chest after washing Cold section of cooling, then return to ice chest after leading to heavy hydrocarbon return tank separation heavy hydrocarbon and continue cooling, finally from ice chest Portion obtains LNG product, and sends to storage tank after treatment.
The heavy hydrocarbon separated from heavy hydrocarbon return tank is squeezed into heavy hydrocarbon scrubbing tower by heavy hydrocarbon reflux pump and is washed, weight The heavy hydrocarbon of hydrocarbon scrubbing tower bottom removing carries out heat exchange with high-pressure liquid phase cryogen and reclaims cold.Send to after treatment Storage tank.
3, room temperature washing process: such as Fig. 3, this technique typically uses isopentane to be solvent, at room temperature or lower slightly Under room temperature, by the similar principle that mixes of isopentane, in heavy hydrocarbon scrubbing tower, isopentane flows from the top down, Natural gas flows from bottom to top, by natural gas and isopentane contact and perforated space exchanges and makes the heavy hydrocarbon of natural gas Abjection, and directly go storage tank to store rich in the isopentane that heavy hydrocarbon is many.Heavy hydrocarbon scrubbing tower bottom removing heavy hydrocarbon with Isopentane carries out heat exchange and reclaims cold.Send to storage tank after treatment.
The shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art is:
Prior art 1 is simple low temperature separating process, uses separator to separate heavy hydrocarbon at low temperatures, and fills Put technique can not absolute stability, by raw natural gas change of component, and the component of azeotrope and Just pressure reduction impact, makes to increase into the temperature of charge of separator or time pressure increases, the former separator of being dissolved in The heavy constituents such as benzene in liquid phase, hexamethylene, pungent pentane can flash off, and causes the variation of separating effect, from And easily cause the blocking of ice chest low temperature.The de-heavy hydrocarbon result of different temperatures is shown in Fig. 5.
Secondly, the heat exchanger that goes into operation of increase only uses in the stage that goes into operation, and is again that equipment is not busy at normal operating phase Put waste, shortage effect.
Prior art 2 is to use Conventional cryogenic washing process to increase the dynamic equipment such as heavy hydrocarbon pump, increases answering of operation Polygamy and energy expenditure, increase the complexity of system.Limited by pump performance, thus limited device heavy hydrocarbon Adaptability.
Prior art 3 room temperature isopentane washing process increases the consumption of isopentane, and the operation adding device becomes This.
