Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for double-stage expansion refrigeration high methane gas liquefaction and belongs to the field of high methane gas separation and liquefaction. According to the purposes of the method and device for double-stage expansion refrigeration high methane gas liquefaction, the problems of difficult heavy hydrocarbon separation, cumbersome operation, high equipment investment, large methane loss and high energy consumption in an existing production method for liquefied natural gas are solved. The method comprises the steps of high methane gas liquefaction and circulation refrigeration. After high methane feed gas and preheating gas are mixed, the mixture is subjected to heat exchanger cooling, throttling depressurization and gas-liquid separation, liquefied high methane gas and low-temperature flashing steam are obtained; and the liquefied high methane gas is collected as a product, and the low-temperature flashing steam is subjected to open type circulation refrigeration or closed circulation. The method and device have the advantages of being simple in procedure, low in energy consumption, flexible in operation, low in equipment investment, small in methane loss, good in nitrogen separation effect, easy in heavy hydrocarbon removal and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of natural gas, especially the field of separation and liquefaction of methane-rich gas, and specifically relates to a method and device for liquefaction of methane-rich gas with two-stage expansion refrigeration. Background technique [0002] The growth of natural gas consumption has promoted the rapid development of the liquefied natural gas industry. Since Shanghai LNG Accident Gas Source Backup Station (Phase I) was completed and put into operation in 1999, after more than ten years of development, China's LNG industry has gone from mainly relying on the introduction of foreign complete sets of technology and equipment to domestic independent R&D and production of LNG The process of producing the device. [0003] At present, there are three types of natural gas liquefaction refrigeration processes commonly used in China: cascade refrigeration process, expansion refrigeration process and hybrid refrigeration proce...
