Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of BOG treatment of LNG membrane tanks, and in particular to a BOG dynamic balance treatment system for offshore ships and land liquid cargo membrane tanks. Background Art
[0002] Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has been the preferred energy source to replace oil for its advantages of being green, environmentally friendly and efficient, and has become one of the fastest growing energy industries in the world. The application and development of LNG has received more and more attention from all parties, and the demand for clean energy in society has grown rapidly.
[0003] LNG usually needs to rely on transportation equipment, such as ships and other marine equipment for transportation. The main components of an LNG receiving station are dock unloading, LNG storage, process processing and external transmission. Among them, the LNG storage tanks that undertake the storage task have the longest construction period, the most advanced technology, and the most difficulties in the construction process. They have always been managed as the key path of the entire project.
[0004] LNG has an extremely low temperature, which can be as low as -160℃. During storage, LNG will continuously absorb heat from the environment and evaporate flash gas (Boil Off Gas, BOG) which is stored in the LNG storage tank. At the same time, the BOG generated by LNG absorbing heat in other equipment and pipelines of the LNG station will eventually return to the LNG storage tank. The pressure in the LNG storage tank will gradually increase with the increase of BOG.
[0005] After the LNG ship arrives at the LNG receiving station, it is necessary to send LNG and other liquid cargoes in the LNG storage tanks of the sea vessels to the LNG storage tanks on land through pipelines. However, the temperature of the LNG storage tanks on land increases due to the sun and other reasons, and the BOG generated by LNG and other liquid cargoes increases. The increased tank pressure affects the storage of compressed low-temperature liquefied gases such as LNG. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with BOG in time to reduce the temperature and tank pressure in the land LNG storage tanks. In some cases, such as when ships are storing and transporting LNG, BOG will be generated in the tank due to the loss of cold energy on the surface of the LNG storage tank, so it is necessary to reduce the temperature and tank pressure in the ship's LNG storage tank.
[0006] CN119665136A discloses a LNG tank BOG liquefaction recovery system and a control method thereof. When the BOG in the LNG tank needs to be recovered, the BOG transported from the LNG tank is cooled and liquefied by a refrigerator and then returned to the LNG tank to achieve the recovery of the BOG gas in the LNG tank. During the BOG recovery process, when it is necessary to maintain the supercooling of the LNG tank, the LNG transported from the LNG tank is cooled by a refrigerator, and the cooled LNG is returned to the LNG tank and mixed with the LNG in the LNG tank to reduce the LNG temperature in the LNG tank to maintain the supercooling of the LNG tank. The system in CN119665136A is essentially a control process of a single LNG tank. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a processing system that can achieve dynamic balance between offshore ship LNG tanks and land LNG tanks, so as to be applicable to the LNG and other liquid cargo transportation process between offshore ship LNG tanks and land LNG tanks.

[0019] Furthermore, a spray cooling pipeline and a spray filling pipeline are sequentially arranged on the top of the first film tank from top to bottom; The spray cooling pipeline and the spray filling pipeline are both arranged at a height higher than the liquid level of the liquid cargo in the first membrane tank.
[0020] Furthermore, the liquid cargo is cryogenic liquid such as liquefied natural gas or liquid ammonia.
[0021] Furthermore, valves are provided on the above pipelines.
[0022] Furthermore, the device can utilize the cold energy of the liquid cargo in the first membrane tank to treat the BOG in the liquid cargo in the second membrane tank, allowing the second membrane tank to self-circulate and cool down, the double tanks (the first membrane tank and the second membrane tank) to circulate and recover the BOG, and reduce the tank pressure of the second membrane tank.
[0023] Furthermore, the working method of the BOG dynamic balance treatment system of the marine vessel and the land liquid cargo membrane tank includes the following steps: The top temperature of the second film tank initially drops: The compressor extracts BOG from the land liquid cargo membrane tank and compresses it to obtain compressed gas, which then enters the seawater heat exchanger to cool the compressed gas to room temperature, and then enters the low-temperature heat exchanger to cool the BOG to about -20~0℃, and then cools the BOG to -80℃ after pressure regulation (0.65MPa), and circulates back to the land liquid cargo membrane tank (pressure regulation is to reduce the pressure of the fluid in the pipeline. The BOG in the tank needs to be pressurized by the compressor and then reduced to low temperature to liquefy, and then reduced to low pressure before entering the atmospheric pressure membrane tank) and then reduces the temperature in the land liquid cargo membrane tank to -160℃ and the pressure to atmospheric pressure, in preparation for the next step of reducing to a lower temperature; the ship membrane tank passes through the liquid cargo The pump supplies the liquid cargo to the low-temperature heat exchanger to exchange heat with the high-temperature BOG in the land-based liquid cargo membrane tank. The liquid cargo that absorbs heat will be vaporized. The vaporized liquid cargo enters the gas-liquid spray cooling tank and directly contacts with the liquid cargo spray cooling to cool down (the liquid cargo in the gas-liquid spray cooling tank comes from the liquid cargo transported by the liquid cargo pump in the ship's membrane tank, which is used as a direct heat exchanger to cool down the BOG; the compressor compresses and pressurizes the BOG, which will increase the temperature of the compressor). The low-temperature gaseous liquid cargo is pressurized to 0.65MPa by the compressor, and then mixed with the un-vaporized liquid cargo at the bottom of the gas-liquid spray cooling tank and passed into the supercooling unit to be cooled to -175℃ to obtain the liquefied liquid cargo. The liquefied liquid cargo is returned to the ship's membrane tank; The second membrane tank is further cooled down to below -165 degrees, in preparation for filling the second membrane tank with liquid cargo from the first membrane tank: The compressor extracts BOG from the land liquid cargo membrane tank and directly supplies it to the supercooling unit. The supercooling unit in S1 reduces the BOG temperature to a low temperature (-80°C) and then circulates the gas-liquid spray cooling tank for buffering and reduces the temperature to a low temperature of -160°C. The BOG reduced to a low temperature (-160°C) returns to the land liquid cargo membrane tank and continuously circulates the gas phase to gradually reduce the temperature in the land liquid cargo membrane tank to about -170°C, completing the cooling in the land liquid cargo membrane tank and reaching a supercooling temperature lower than the liquid cargo storage temperature. Subcooled liquid cargo spraying second membrane tank: Spray a certain amount of supercooled liquid cargo on the second film tank to be loaded, so that the main film shielding layer of the second film tank can adapt to the supercooled liquid cargo; First, the first membrane tank is loaded with liquid cargo through a liquid cargo pump and temporarily stored in a gas-liquid spray cooling tank. The liquid cargo is then sent to the supercooling unit through a circulating pump at the bottom of the gas-liquid spray cooling tank to be supercooled and gasified. The supercooled liquid cargo is then pumped into the second membrane tank and sprayed from the top of the second membrane tank until the second membrane tank reaches a low temperature state. The gas phase is connected to the second membrane tank through a gas phase connecting hose to achieve gas-liquid pressure balance. Carry out the filling process: the liquid cargo in the first membrane tank is transported into the second membrane tank through the liquid cargo pump and the liquid phase connecting hose.
[0024] Furthermore, during the filling process, part of the liquid cargo may be vaporized due to the friction between the liquid cargo and the pipeline, the loss of pipeline temperature, the cooling process of the pipeline, or the change in the temperature loss and pressure of the first and second membrane tanks. In order to ensure constant temperature and BOG stability, the BOG control of the second membrane tank is carried out: The liquid cargo stored in the first membrane tank is continuously transported into the second membrane tank through the liquid cargo pump and the liquid phase connecting hose. The BOG generated by gasification in the second membrane tank and the first membrane tank is pumped away by the compressor (the compression work is linked with the pressure of the zero membrane tank to ensure that the tank pressure is at normal pressure). The BOG generated by gasification in the second membrane tank and the first membrane tank first enters the gas-liquid spray cooling tank. The BOG is first directly cooled by the sprayed supercooled liquid cargo. The cooled BOG enters the compressor. The BOG compressed to 0.65MPa by the compressor is then mixed with the ungasified liquid cargo at the bottom of the gas-liquid spray cooling tank and enters the supercooling unit to complete the liquefaction of the BOG, thereby realizing the re-liquefaction and recovery of the BOG in this process.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1) The present invention provides a BOG dynamic balance processing system for marine vessels and land liquid cargo membrane tanks. Before the marine vessel membrane tank (or land liquid cargo membrane tank) is unloaded into the land liquid cargo membrane tank (or ship membrane tank), the BOG of the LNG in the land liquid cargo membrane tank (or ship membrane tank) is processed by utilizing the cold energy of the LNG in the ship membrane tank (or land liquid cargo membrane tank), so that the land liquid cargo membrane tank (or ship membrane tank) can be cooled by self-circulation, BOG can be recovered by double tank circulation, and the tank pressure of the land liquid cargo membrane tank (or ship membrane tank) can be reduced. This can effectively solve the problem that the temperature of the land liquid cargo membrane tank (or ship membrane tank) increases due to the sun exposure, etc., and the BOG generated by liquid cargo such as LNG increases, resulting in an increase in tank pressure that affects the storage of compressed low-temperature liquefied gases such as LNG.
[0026] 2) The present invention provides a BOG dynamic balance treatment system for marine vessels and land liquid cargo membrane tanks. The entire system has a simple structure and simple process operation.
[0027] 3) During the filling process, part of the LNG will be gasified due to friction between the LNG and the pipeline, temperature loss of the pipeline, cooling process of the pipeline, or temperature loss and pressure change of the membrane tank. The present invention provides a BOG dynamic balance processing system for marine vessels and land liquid cargo membrane tanks, which can ensure constant temperature and BOG stability during the filling process.

[0045] This embodiment provides a working method of the BOG dynamic balance processing system of the marine vessel and the land liquid cargo membrane tank in Embodiment 1, and the liquid cargo is LNG, and the method comprises the following steps: S1. Initial cooling of the top temperature of the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10: The compressor 7 extracts the BOG in the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10 and compresses it to obtain compressed gas, which then enters the seawater heat exchanger 5 to cool the compressed gas to room temperature, and then enters the low-temperature heat exchanger 6 to cool the BOG to about -20 to 0°C, and then cools the BOG to -80°C by pressure regulation (0.65MPa), and circulates back to the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10 (pressure regulation is to reduce the pressure of the fluid in the pipeline. The BOG in the tank needs to be pressurized by the compressor and then reduced to low temperature to liquefy, and then reduced to low pressure before entering the normal pressure membrane tank) and then reduces the temperature in the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10 to -160°C and the pressure to normal pressure, in preparation for the next step of reducing to a lower temperature; the ship membrane tank 1 passes through the liquid cargo pump 2 The liquid cargo is supplied to the low-temperature heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange with the high-temperature BOG in the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10. The liquid cargo that absorbs heat will be vaporized. The vaporized liquid cargo enters the gas-liquid spray cooling tank 4 and directly contacts with the liquid cargo for spray cooling and cooling (the liquid cargo in the gas-liquid spray cooling tank 4 comes from the liquid cargo transported by the liquid cargo pump 2 in the ship's membrane tank 1, which is used as the BOG to directly exchange heat with the BOG for cooling; the compressor 7 compresses and pressurizes the BOG, which will increase the temperature of the compressor 7). The low-temperature gaseous liquid cargo is pressurized to 0.65MPa by the compressor 7, and then mixed with the un-vaporized liquid cargo at the bottom of the gas-liquid spray cooling tank 4 and passed into the supercooling unit 3 to be cooled to -175°C to obtain the liquefied liquid cargo. The liquefied liquid cargo returns to the ship's membrane tank 1; S2, further cooling the land liquid cargo film tank 10, reducing the temperature inside the land liquid cargo film tank 10 to below -170°C, in preparation for filling the land liquid cargo film tank 10 with liquid cargo from the ship film tank 1: The compressor 7 extracts the BOG in the land liquid cargo film tank 10 and directly supplies it to the supercooling unit 3. In S1, the supercooling unit 3 reduces the BOG temperature to a low temperature (-80°C) and then circulates the gas-liquid spray cooling tank 4 for buffering and reduces the temperature to a low temperature of -160°C. The BOG reduced to a low temperature (-160°C) returns to the land liquid cargo film tank 10 and continuously circulates the gas phase to gradually reduce the temperature in the land liquid cargo film tank 10 to about -170°C, completing the cooling in the land liquid cargo film tank 10 and reaching a supercooling temperature lower than the liquid cargo storage temperature. S3, supercooled liquid cargo spraying land liquid cargo membrane tank 10: Spray the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10 to be loaded with a certain amount of supercooled liquid cargo (the reliquefaction device can supercool the liquid cargo delivered by the liquid cargo pump to -170°C for spraying to reduce the temperature) to allow the main film shielding layer of the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10 to adapt to the supercooled liquid cargo; First, the ship's membrane tank 1 is loaded with liquid cargo through the liquid cargo pump 2 and temporarily stored in the gas-liquid spray cooling tank 4. The liquid cargo is then sent to the supercooled liquid cargo in the supercooling unit 3 through the circulating pump at the bottom of the gas-liquid spray cooling tank 4 (the liquid cargo sprayed is not in the gas phase, the low-temperature BOG can be pre-cooled to -160°C in a cycle, and the liquid cargo sprayed is the supercooled liquid cargo at a low temperature of -170°C before filling). Then, the liquid cargo pump 2 sends the liquid cargo to the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10, and sprays from the top of the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10 until the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10 is filled. The inside reaches a low temperature state (the inside of the land liquid cargo film tank 10 is supercooled to -170°C and then filled with liquid cargo at -165°C, wherein -170°C is the supercooling temperature and -165°C is the normal liquid cargo temperature. Supercooling is to leave a margin temperature for the liquid cargo. The normal tank body will also heat up with the filling, rising to -165°C, and the tank body may rise to a temperature higher than -165°C), and the gas phase is connected to the land liquid cargo film tank 10 and the ship film tank 1 through the gas phase connecting hose 8 to achieve gas-liquid pressure balance; S4, performing the filling process: the liquid cargo in the ship's membrane tank 1 is transported into the land-based liquid cargo membrane tank 10 through the liquid cargo pump 2 and the liquid phase connecting hose 9.
[0046] Furthermore, during the filling process, part of the liquid cargo may be vaporized due to friction between the liquid cargo and the pipeline, temperature loss of the pipeline, cooling process of the pipeline, or temperature loss and pressure change of the ship membrane tank 1 and the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10. To ensure constant temperature and BOG stability, BOG control of the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10 is performed, including the following process: The liquid cargo stored in the ship's membrane tank 1 is continuously transported into the land-based liquid cargo membrane tank 10 through the liquid cargo pump 2 and the liquid phase connecting hose 9. The BOG generated by gasification in the land-based liquid cargo membrane tank 10 and the ship's membrane tank 1 is pumped away by the compressor 7 (the compression work is linked to the pressure of the filled membrane tank to ensure that the tank pressure is at normal pressure) (normally, when there is no excess BOG generated, there is no excessive gasification. The ship's membrane tank 1 and the land-based liquid cargo membrane tank 10 achieve pressure balance through the natural flow of the gas phase. When additional BOG is generated, it will cause the pressure to rise, and the compressor 7 needs to be turned on. The land-based liquid cargo membrane tank 1 0 and the BOG generated by gasification in the ship membrane tank 1 first enters the gas-liquid spray cooling tank 4, the BOG is first directly cooled by the sprayed supercooled liquid cargo (the liquid cargo comes from a small amount of liquid cargo diverted by the liquid cargo pump 2 during the filling process), the cooled BOG enters the compressor 7, the BOG compressed to 0.65MPa by the compressor 7 is then mixed with the ungasified liquid cargo at the bottom of the gas-liquid spray cooling tank 4 and enters the supercooling unit 3 to complete the liquefaction of the BOG (the liquefied BOG is then sent to the ship membrane tank 1 and / or the land liquid cargo membrane tank 10), realizing the reliquefaction and recovery of the BOG in this process.
