Problems solved by technology

Due to the high boiling point and freezing point of heavy hydrocarbon components such as C4 and C5, when the temperature of natural gas liquefaction reaches -162°C, heavy hydrocarbon components will form solids, which will seriously block pipelines and equipment, and affect the normal operation of the main refrigeration cycle

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for liquefying natural gas by using a propylene precooling mixed cryogen, aiming at solving the problems that a heavy hydrocarbon component needs to be added in a natural gas precooling cryogen for ensuring cooling effect when propane is used as the natural gas precooling cryogen so as to result in that pipelines and equipment are blocked and normal circulation operation is influenced. According to the invention, propylene is adopted to replace propane to be used as the precooling cryogen in a natural gas liquefying process with a mixed cryogen, and the precooling effects of the natural gas and mixed cryogen are improved through changing process flow, thereby obviously reducing energy consumption and simplifying liquefication flow equipment andoperation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquefaction of natural gas, coal bed methane or other methane-rich gases, in particular to a method and device for liquefying natural gas with propylene precooling mixed refrigerant. Background technique [0002] As early as the 1930s, Porter Nickel of the United States proposed a mixed refrigerant liquefaction process. Although this process can reduce equipment, simplify the process, and save fixed cost investment, the single use of single-stage mixed refrigerant liquefied natural gas has a lower energy efficiency utilization rate than cascade cycle refrigeration, and the corresponding technology is not mature. Therefore, before the 1970s, large-scale liquefaction devices worldwide were still dominated by cascade circulation. [0003] In 1970, Lee S.Gaumer and Charles L.Newton of APCI Corporation of the United States proposed a system and method combining cascade cycle and single-stage mixed refrigeran...
