Description

一种船运液化乙烯或乙烷蒸发气体的再液化方法 A kind of reliquefaction method of shipping liquefied ethylene or ethane boil-off gas

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及液态石化产品的蒸发气体(BOG)再液化技术领域,具体是指一种船运液化乙烯或乙烷时,运输及卸货等过程因入热产生的BOG的再液化方法。The invention relates to the technical field of reliquefaction of boil-off gas (BOG) of liquefied petrochemical products, and specifically refers to a method for reliquefaction of BOG generated by heat during transportation and unloading when liquefied ethylene or ethane is shipped.

背景技术Background technique

乙烯工业是衡量一个国家石油化工的规模和发展程度的标志,无论发达国家还是发展中国家,凡有条件的都会极力促进乙烯工业的建设和发展。随着我国石化工业和国民经济的持续快速发展,对乙烯的需求持续增加。2007年我国乙烯消费量为2169万吨,而乙烯产量为1047万吨,自给率仅为48.3%;预计2010年我国乙烯生产能力将达1600万吨,乙烯需求当量将达2735万吨,当量需求满足率为58.5%,仍需依靠大量进口乙烯满足需求。The ethylene industry is a symbol to measure the scale and development of a country's petrochemical industry. No matter whether it is a developed country or a developing country, all conditions will try their best to promote the construction and development of the ethylene industry. With the sustained and rapid development of my country's petrochemical industry and national economy, the demand for ethylene continues to increase. In 2007, my country's ethylene consumption was 21.69 million tons, while ethylene production was 10.47 million tons, and the self-sufficiency rate was only 48.3%. It is estimated that my country's ethylene production capacity will reach 16 million tons in 2010, and the ethylene demand equivalent will reach 27.35 million tons. The satisfaction rate is 58.5%, and it still needs to rely on a large amount of imported ethylene to meet the demand.

乙烯成本中裂解原料费用所占比例很大,世界富产天然气的地区都将廉价的天然气中的乙烷和丙烷作裂解原料制乙烯。中东地区(如沙特阿拉伯)资源丰富,当地乙烷价格为37.5美元/t,乙烯原料85%采用乙烷和丙烷,从而使其乙烯生产成本低达100美元/t。而我国的乙烯工业受资源限制,国内乙烯原料90%来自炼厂,原料偏重,多以石脑油为主,乙烯生产成本高达530美元/t。为了满足乙烯原料需求,2010年我国的石油对外依存度进一步加大。选择适当进口乙烷以补充乙烯原料的不足,对降低国内乙烯生产成本,缓解石油资源的短缺,具有显著的社会和经济意义。The cost of cracking raw materials accounts for a large proportion of the cost of ethylene, and the regions rich in natural gas in the world use ethane and propane in cheap natural gas as cracking raw materials to produce ethylene. The Middle East (such as Saudi Arabia) is rich in resources. The local ethane price is US$37.5/t, and 85% of the ethylene raw materials are ethane and propane, making its ethylene production cost as low as US$100/t. However, my country's ethylene industry is limited by resources. 90% of domestic ethylene raw materials come from refineries, and the raw materials are heavy, mostly naphtha. The production cost of ethylene is as high as 530 US dollars/t. In order to meet the demand for ethylene raw materials, my country's dependence on foreign oil was further increased in 2010. Selecting appropriate imported ethane to supplement the shortage of ethylene raw materials has significant social and economic significance for reducing domestic ethylene production costs and alleviating the shortage of oil resources.

世界上常采用低温槽船进行乙烯商业性海运,如美国等发达国家从中东进口液态乙烯,船运回国。常压下等重量的-104℃液化乙烯体积约为常态下气体乙烯的1/490,液化后的体积大大缩小,对乙烯的贮运较为有利。但在海运过程中由于低温乙烯储罐受外界环境热量的侵入,乙烯液货罐内液下泵运行时部分机械能转化为热能,都会使罐内液体乙烯气化产生闪蒸气,也即BOG(boiloff-gas)气体。蒸发气体的产生会使液货舱的液货乙烯温度升高,从而导致货舱压力的升高。过高的液货舱压力会破坏液货舱的结构,对其维护系统造成危险。但如果任其排入空气中,不但危险,在经济上也很不合算。因此,从船舶运输的安全性和经济性上考虑,都需要对蒸发气体进行再液化处理,以回收这部分BOG。乙烷与乙烯性质类似,常压下,与乙烷气体相同重量的液态乙烷,温度为-88℃,体积则只有1/435。在乙烷的海运中同样存在和乙烯海运的问题,也需要对蒸发的乙烷气体进行再液化回收处理。In the world, low-temperature tankers are often used for commercial shipping of ethylene. For example, developed countries such as the United States import liquid ethylene from the Middle East and ship it back to China. The volume of liquefied ethylene at -104°C under normal pressure is about 1/490 of that of gaseous ethylene under normal pressure, and the volume after liquefaction is greatly reduced, which is more beneficial to the storage and transportation of ethylene. However, due to the intrusion of the low-temperature ethylene storage tank by the heat of the external environment during sea transportation, part of the mechanical energy of the submerged pump in the ethylene liquid cargo tank is converted into heat energy, which will cause the liquid ethylene in the tank to vaporize and produce flash steam, that is, BOG (boiloff -gas) gas. The generation of boil-off gas will increase the temperature of the liquid cargo ethylene in the cargo tank, resulting in an increase in the pressure of the cargo tank. Excessive cargo tank pressure can damage the structure of the cargo tank and pose a danger to its maintenance system. But if it is allowed to be discharged into the air, it is not only dangerous, but also economically uneconomical. Therefore, considering the safety and economy of ship transportation, it is necessary to re-liquefy the evaporated gas to recover this part of BOG. Ethane has similar properties to ethylene. Under normal pressure, liquid ethane with the same weight as ethane gas has a temperature of -88°C and a volume of only 1/435. In the sea transportation of ethane, there are also problems with the sea transportation of ethylene, and it is also necessary to re-liquefy and recover the evaporated ethane gas.

液货在运输过程中产生的蒸气再液化的工艺,目前文献《低温液化气船再液化原理及再液化装置概述》(代乾,李品友.低温液化气船再液化原理及再液化装置概述.深冷技术,2005(1):6-9)中有相关的技术报道。有关技术包括:《低温液化气船再液化原理及再液化装置概述》中所提到的多用途低温液化气船上的再液化装置,该装置主要用于液化乙烯、石油气、氨,以满足不同货物的载运要求。该装置采用复叠式直接制冷循环,即由一个以液货为制冷介质的开式循环和一个采用R22制冷剂的闭式制冷循环串联而成。在该装置的制冷剂闭式循环中,制冷剂气体与后续流程的返流气混合经压缩机压缩后,直接进入制冷剂冷凝器冷却,全靠海水冷却制冷剂,换热负荷较大。经冷却的制冷剂分成两股,一股经节流阀减压后进入换热器,冷却另一股制冷剂,换热后的制冷剂气体作为返流气。经冷却后的另一股制冷剂进入冷凝蒸发器冷却BOG气体,换热后的制冷剂气体进入一级压缩机构成循环。The process of reliquefaction of the steam generated during the transportation of liquid cargo, the current literature "Reliquefaction Principle and Reliquefaction Device Overview of Cryogenic Liquefied Gas Carrier" (Dai Gan, Li Pinyou. Reliquefaction Principle and Reliquefaction Device Overview of Cryogenic Liquefied Gas Carrier. Deep There are related technical reports in Cold Technology, 2005(1):6-9). Relevant technologies include: the reliquefaction device on multi-purpose cryogenic liquefied gas ship mentioned in "Reliquefaction Principle and Reliquefaction Device Overview of Cryogenic Liquefied Gas Carrier", which is mainly used to liquefy ethylene, petroleum gas and ammonia to meet different needs Cargo requirements. The device adopts a cascade direct refrigeration cycle, that is, an open cycle with liquid cargo as the refrigerant medium and a closed refrigeration cycle with R22 refrigerant connected in series. In the refrigerant closed cycle of the device, the refrigerant gas is mixed with the return gas of the subsequent process, compressed by the compressor, and then directly enters the refrigerant condenser for cooling. The refrigerant is cooled entirely by seawater, and the heat exchange load is relatively large. The cooled refrigerant is divided into two streams, one is decompressed by the throttle valve and then enters the heat exchanger to cool the other refrigerant, and the refrigerant gas after heat exchange is used as return gas. After cooling, another stream of refrigerant enters the condensing evaporator to cool the BOG gas, and the refrigerant gas after heat exchange enters the primary compressor to form a cycle.

该文章介绍的再液化装置中的R22制冷剂闭式制冷循环中,采用R22为制冷剂,R22由于其臭氧损耗指数为0.055,已被列入蒙特利尔议定书中受控物质之一,国际上已对R22、R502等含氯制冷剂规定了禁用期限。另外该装置再液化流程中的R22冷凝器,制冷剂的冷却基本全靠海水,换热负荷大,加大了投资费用。且由于受进口海水温度的限制,使得制冷剂冷却温度也受到制约。In the closed refrigeration cycle of the R22 refrigerant in the reliquefaction device introduced in this article, R22 is used as the refrigerant. Because of its ozone depletion index of 0.055, R22 has been listed as one of the controlled substances in the Montreal Protocol, and has been internationally recognized. Chlorine-containing refrigerants such as R22 and R502 have stipulated a ban period. In addition, in the R22 condenser in the reliquefaction process of the device, the cooling of the refrigerant basically relies on seawater, and the heat exchange load is large, which increases the investment cost. Moreover, due to the restriction of the temperature of the imported seawater, the cooling temperature of the refrigerant is also restricted.

本发明的目的通过下述技术方案实现,一种船运液化乙烯或乙烷蒸发气体的再液化方法,包括以下具体步骤:The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions, a method for reliquefaction of shipping liquefied ethylene or ethane boil-off gas, comprising the following specific steps:

第一步乙烯或乙烷BOG的两级压缩Two-stage compression of ethylene or ethane BOG in the first step

船上乙烯或乙烷液货罐出来的BOG气体进入一级压缩机压缩后,与低温返流气混合,再进入二级压缩机压缩,得到高温高压乙烯或乙烷气体。The BOG gas from the ethylene or ethane liquid cargo tank on board enters the primary compressor for compression, mixes with the low-temperature reflux gas, and then enters the secondary compressor for compression to obtain high-temperature and high-pressure ethylene or ethane gas.

第二步乙烯或乙烷BOG的冷却Second step cooling of ethylene or ethane BOG

经过两级压缩的高温高压乙烯或乙烷气体先进入海水换热器,通过与海水换热冷却,再进入乙烯或乙烷冷凝器,通过与制冷剂换热冷却至更低的温度。The high-temperature and high-pressure ethylene or ethane gas after two-stage compression first enters the seawater heat exchanger, is cooled by heat exchange with seawater, and then enters the ethylene or ethane condenser, and is cooled to a lower temperature by heat exchange with refrigerant.

第三步乙烯或乙烷的相变潜热冷却Phase-change latent heat cooling of ethylene or ethane in the third step

从乙烯或乙烷冷凝器出来的乙烯或乙烷分成两股,一股进入闪蒸塔进行绝热闪蒸,从闪蒸塔塔顶出来的乙烯或乙烷气相出料作为低温返流气,塔底的乙烯或乙烷液相出料则作为冷源,进入换热器利用自身的相变潜热来冷却另一股乙烯或乙烷,使其进一步降温,换热后的乙烯或乙烷气体也作为低温返流气。The ethylene or ethane from the ethylene or ethane condenser is divided into two streams, one stream enters the flash tower for adiabatic flash evaporation, and the ethylene or ethane gas phase output from the top of the flash tower is used as low-temperature reflux gas. The ethylene or ethane liquid phase output at the bottom is used as a cold source, and enters the heat exchanger to use its own latent heat of phase change to cool another ethylene or ethane to further reduce the temperature, and the ethylene or ethane gas after heat exchange is also As low temperature reflux gas.

第四步乙烯或乙烷BOG再液化的入罐储存The fourth step is the tank storage of ethylene or ethane BOG reliquefaction

经过换热器冷却的低温乙烯或乙烷,进入另一闪蒸塔绝热闪蒸,从闪蒸塔塔顶出来的乙烯或乙烷气相出料返回第一步的一级压缩机,塔底的乙烯或乙烷,即液货罐的BOG再液化后的液相出料,进入乙烯或乙烷液货罐储存。The low-temperature ethylene or ethane cooled by the heat exchanger enters another flash tower for adiabatic flash evaporation, and the ethylene or ethane gas phase output from the top of the flash tower returns to the first-stage compressor in the first step, and the first-stage compressor at the bottom of the tower Ethylene or ethane, that is, the liquid phase output after the BOG of the liquid cargo tank is reliquefied, enters the ethylene or ethane liquid cargo tank for storage.

上述船运液化乙烯或乙烷蒸发气体的再液化方法的第一步中,所述的制冷剂是R404A。In the first step of the reliquefaction method for shipping liquefied ethylene or ethane boil-off gas, the refrigerant is R404A.

上述船运液化乙烯或乙烷蒸发气体的再液化方法的第一步中,所述的制冷剂由制冷循环提供,所述制冷循环的工作流程包括以下步骤:In the first step of the reliquefaction method for shipping liquefied ethylene or ethane boil-off gas, the refrigerant is provided by a refrigeration cycle, and the working process of the refrigeration cycle includes the following steps:

第一步制冷剂气体的两级压缩Two-stage compression of refrigerant gas in the first step

制冷剂气体经一级压缩机压缩后,进入海水换热器,通过与海水换热带走一部分热量,然后再进入二级压缩机压缩,得到高温高压制冷剂气体。常压下的海水通过泵提压后,分成两部分为制冷剂提供冷量。一部分进入一级压缩机出口的海水换热器,另一部分进入二级压缩机出口的海水换热器。After the refrigerant gas is compressed by the first-stage compressor, it enters the seawater heat exchanger, and part of the heat is removed by exchanging heat with seawater, and then enters the second-stage compressor for compression to obtain high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas. After the seawater under normal pressure is boosted by the pump, it is divided into two parts to provide cooling capacity for the refrigerant. One part enters the seawater heat exchanger at the outlet of the first-stage compressor, and the other part enters the seawater heat exchanger at the outlet of the second-stage compressor.

第二步制冷剂的冷却Cooling of the refrigerant in the second step

经过两级压缩的高温高压制冷剂气体,先进入海水换热器,冷却,再进入冷箱,通过与返流低温制冷剂气体换热,进一步降温。After two-stage compression, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas first enters the seawater heat exchanger, cools down, and then enters the cold box, and further cools down by exchanging heat with the returning low-temperature refrigerant gas.

第三步制冷剂的相变潜热冷却Phase-change latent heat cooling of the third-step refrigerant

从冷箱出来的制冷剂,分成两股,一股进入闪蒸塔进行绝热闪蒸,从闪蒸塔塔顶出来的制冷剂气相出料作为低温返流气,塔底的制冷剂液相出料则作为冷源,利用自身的蒸发潜热冷却另一股制冷剂,使其进一步降温。换热后的制冷剂气体也作为低温返流气进入冷箱为压缩后的制冷剂提供冷量。The refrigerant coming out of the cold box is divided into two streams. One stream enters the flash tower for adiabatic flash evaporation. The material is used as a cold source, using its own latent heat of evaporation to cool another refrigerant to further reduce its temperature.
