Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process and apparatus for separating a mixture of hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide by cryogenic distillation.
- it relates to a process for producing a mixture of H 2 / CO containing a low content of CH 4 , with possibly combined production of CH 4 in liquid form.
- the production units for carbon monoxide and hydrogen can be separated into two parts:
- an adsorbent bed purification unit A cryogenic separation unit called cold box for the production of CO and / or hydrogen and / or a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen called oxogaz with a defined ratio of H 2 / CO.
- the synthesis gas comprises a mixture at high pressure (between
- methane washing allows the production of pressurized hydrogen with good purity, whose CO content can range from 0.5% mol to a few ppm.
- the residual content of CH4 can not fall below generally 1% mol.
- US-A-4488890 and US-A-6098424 disclose methods with a liquid carbon monoxide scrubbing column in which substantially all the frigories are produced by a carbon monoxide cycle.
- the idea is to cool the synthesis gas to a temperature level close to -167 ° C (thus 20 ° warmer than in a partial condensation scheme), the vapor phase being treated in a CO washing column where liquid CO is injected at the top of the column.
- a method of separation by cryogenic distillation of a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane in which the mixture is cooled in a line of exchange and at least one part in a liquid CO washing column, a gas is taken at the top of the washing column, the tank liquid is sent from the washing column, optionally after purification, to a CO / CH 4 separation column, withdrawn a CO-rich liquid at the top of the CO / CH 4 separation column is pressurized at least in part and at least a part is sent to the top of the washing column and a liquid rich in methane is withdrawn in a tank of the CO / CH4 separation column as final product, at least a portion of the separation energy being supplied by a closed cycle with nitrogen, methane, oxygen and argon as cycle fluid, helium or hydrogen.
- the gas taken at the top of the washing column is a mixture of H 2 and CO containing less than 1 mol% / CH 4; the closed cycle ensures the top condensation of the CO / CH4 column;
- the closed cycle ensures the reboiling of the CO / CH 4 column and / or a depletion column;
- the closed cycle provides at least part of the liquefaction energy of this CH 4 ; two liquids of the closed cycle vaporize at at least two different pressures in the exchange line;
- At least a portion of the carbon monoxide-rich liquid withdrawn from the CO / CH 4 column is pressurized by means of a pump and at least a portion of the pumped liquid is sent to the washing column - at least two of the temperatures of the following list differ by no more than 5 0 C:
- a cryogenic distillation separation apparatus of a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane comprising a liquid CO column, a separation column
- the apparatus comprises:
- synthesis gas 1 available under high pressure (generally between 15 and 60 bar) is cooled in the main exchanger 3 and partially condensed in the exchange line to a temperature level of the order -167 ° C.
- the vapor phase is sent to the bottom of a washing column 5 where it is washed with liquid CO 5 injected at the top of the column 5. This makes it possible to lower the CH 4 content in the steam 7 produced at the top of the column. washing 5 to less than 1 mol% to be able to treat it after heating in the exchange line in a unit of MeOH for example.
- the liquid phase 11, in the liquid CO column 5, is very rich in CH 4 and also contains CO and dissolved hydrogen.
- This liquid 11 is sent to the top of a depletion column 13, having a bottom reboiler 15, to separate hydrogen and lower its content in the flash column tank liquid 17 to reduce the amount of hydrogen. incondensable hydrogen during CO and CH4 separation in column 33.
- the overhead column 21 of the depletion column heats up in the exchange line 3 and serves as a fuel.
- the bottom liquid 17 of the depletion column 13 is subcooled by the exchanger 19 and is then sent to a two-part CO / CH 4 separation column.
- a portion 27 is expanded in the valve 31 and sent to the top of the column 33.
- the remainder 23 is expanded in the valve 29, then heated by the heater 25 and then sent to the bottom of the column 33.
- the CO is produced in liquid form 47 at the head and is sent to pumps 49 to raise its pressure up to the pressure level of the CO 5 scrubbing column.
- a portion of the liquid CO 55 may be passed through the overhead gas valve 57 of the washing column 5 to form a mixed flow rate 9. This allows the CO / H 2 ratio of the gas to be adjusted.
- CH 4 product 39 is columnar vessel CO / CH 4 33 as liquid form.
- the column CO / CH 4 has a bottom reboiler 37 and a top condenser 35.
- This CH 4 liquid 39 output in CO / CH4 column vat will be subcooled in the exchange line 41 before sending it to storage to limit the production of vaporized liquid said boil off.
- a valve 43 makes it possible to short-circuit the line 41.
- the overhead gas 59 of the CO / CO 4 column 33 is compressed in a compressor 61 to form the flow 63, condensed in the exchange line and sent to the top of the washing column 5 in place of or in addition to the pumped flow from the pump 49.
- the separation energy is provided by a closed external cycle. This cycle will also bring the liquefaction energy of this CH 4 39.
- the gas used for the cycle can be chosen from the list N 2 , CH 4 , O 2 , Ar, He,
- the gas 65 serves to reboil the column CO / CH 4 and then forms the liquid 67 which is divided in half.
- a portion 71 passes through the valve 73 and is sent to the head condenser 35.
- the vaporized flow rate in the condenser is sent as flow 81, 83 to the series compressor 85, 87, 89.
