Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of energy technology, and in particular relates to a skid-mounted LNG deacidification device and method. Background Art
[0002] Natural gas, whose main component is methane, only produces carbon dioxide and water molecules after full combustion. It is recognized as the cleanest fossil energy on earth. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a liquid condensed from natural gas after purification, cooling, and supercooling to -162°C, and is stored in a low-temperature storage tank at 0.1MPa. The processed LNG has the advantages of being colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. Its volume is about 1 / 625 of the volume of the same amount of gaseous natural gas, and the mass of liquefied natural gas is only about 45% of the same volume of water, which greatly saves energy storage space.
[0003] However, before natural gas is liquefied at low temperature to obtain LNG, the natural gas produced by the gas field needs to be purified to remove corrosive and low-temperature solidified impurities in the natural gas directly produced from the gas field. This mainly includes three parts: deacidification, dehydration and demercuration. Among them, the deacidification part is an important concern in the purification process of LNG production regarding energy consumption, equipment protection and safe production.
[0004] In the prior art, the acid gas removal technology widely used in the field of natural gas treatment and processing is the MDEA absorption process. The MDEA acid removal process utilizes the performance of MDEA aqueous solution to dissolve the acid gas in the gas at room temperature and desorb the acid gas under high temperature and low pressure conditions, thereby removing the acid gas in the natural gas, avoiding corrosion to the equipment during the storage of LNG, and maintaining the safety of LNG storage.
[0005] Among the existing patents, patent application number CN200810044270.7, named "Front-end combined purification process for producing liquefied natural gas from methane-rich mixed gas", patent application number CN201520326787.0, named "A carbon dioxide removal device in the process of producing liquefied natural gas from coke oven gas", patent application number CN201620389925.4, named "A desulfurization and decarbonization system for synthetic natural gas", patent application number CN202010558598.1, named "An energy-saving natural gas MDEA The patents for "Decarbonization System and Decarbonization Process Thereof", "A Energy-Saving Natural Gas MDEA Decarbonization Device and Method" with patent application number CN202011171092.1, and "LNG Decarbonization System Based on MDEA Solvent" with patent application number CN202021764682.0 all use the MDEA absorption method to remove acid gas from LNG. However, the devices used in the above patents have the defects of numerous equipment and complex systems, which are not conducive to the operation of the deacidification device in subsequent use, and are more difficult to troubleshoot and repair in subsequent faults.
