Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel oxy-fuel combustion carbon capture system for LNG ships, belonging to the field of carbon capture for LNG ships. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous growth of the world's population, the demand for primary energy by humans is also increasing. During the development and utilization of primary energy, a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions cause the greenhouse effect, which will lead to global warming and threaten the survival and development of humanity. Therefore, reducing carbon dioxide emissions has become an important issue that people urgently need to solve at present.

[0003] In global trade, maritime transportation accounts for two-thirds of the total global trade volume. The carbon emissions caused by maritime transportation every year are equivalent to those of the eighth largest carbon-emitting country in the world. In the field of ships, LNG is considered a transitional fuel from fossil fuels to hydrogen fuels. As a clean primary energy, LNG has the advantages of clean combustion products and high combustion efficiency. Before combustion, LNG needs to be gasified, and a large amount of high-grade cold energy is wasted during this process. If this cold energy can be recycled, it will bring high economic benefits. In LNG ships, the rational allocation of cold and thermal energy is currently a hot topic of concern.

[0004] In the patent document with the authorization publication number CN111874200A, a comprehensive thermal energy utilization system for LNG ships is proposed. This system uses the cooling water of the LNG engine to heat and convert LNG into CNG to achieve LNG gasification. At the same time, the waste heat of the flue gas is used for seawater desalination to achieve comprehensive energy utilization. However, this system does not consider capturing the carbon dioxide emitted by the ship.

[0005] In the patent document with the authorization publication number CN115263466A, a low-temperature carbon capture coupling cold energy and preheating cascade utilization system for LNG-powered ships is proposed. Through the organic Rankine cycle and seawater, LNG is converted into NG, and at the same time, the cold energy of the products of the air separation technology is used for carbon capture and air separation. The high-grade cold energy of LNG in this system is utilized by the two-stage cascaded Rankine cycle, and the cold energy required by the air separation device comes from the air separation products. In this system, the cold energy air separation device only realizes the separation of oxygen in the air, and the separated nitrogen is discharged after providing the cold energy, without using it as a by-product of the system.

[0006] In the patent document with the authorization publication number CN 115540498 A, a device for utilizing cold and heat energy and a method for carbon capture suitable for LNG ships are proposed. In this device, by reasonably matching the cold and heat sources on the LNG ship, carbon dioxide capture is achieved through an absorption carbon capture system, and the cold energy of LNG provides cold energy for liquefied storage of carbon dioxide. However, the pressure for liquefied storage of carbon dioxide in this system is relatively high.

[0007] In combination with the existing technical conditions and some deficiencies in the above several inventions, the present invention proposes a new type of oxy-fuel combustion carbon capture system for LNG ships to solve the above problems, which is very necessary. Summary of the Invention
