Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of carbon dioxide transportation and storage, and in particular relates to a system and method for generating carbon dioxide hydrate using LNG cold energy and storing it in the ocean. Background Art

[0002] The utilization of LNG cold energy has received widespread attention in recent years. LNG is a natural gas cooled to about -162℃ and liquefied, and stored in LNG storage tanks. LNG generates a large amount of cold energy during the gasification process, which is a high-quality, low-cost energy. LNG cold energy can be used to provide air separation, refrigeration, power generation, etc., but its current scope of use is narrow and its utilization efficiency is low. Since the formation of carbon dioxide hydrate requires a low-temperature environment, the use of LNG cold energy to prepare carbon dioxide hydrate can improve the utilization efficiency of cold energy and reduce the energy consumption of cold energy manufacturing equipment during the formation of carbon dioxide hydrate.

[0003] Carbon dioxide is one of the main causes of global warming and extreme climate events. Therefore, a variety of carbon dioxide capture and storage methods have been proposed to cope with climate change, among which carbon dioxide hydrate storage is one of the most promising technologies. Carbon dioxide combines with water at a low temperature of about 1°C and a pressure of 1.5MPa to form solid hydrates, similar to "ice", and can be stored for a long time in the low temperature and high pressure environment of the seabed reservoir. Carbon dioxide mainly comes from coastal thermal power plants and chemical plants. The carbon dioxide produced by the plant is captured and transported to the carbon dioxide storage and transportation point near the LNG receiving station, and then the cold energy generated by the gasification of LNG is used to prepare carbon dioxide hydrates. This method reduces energy consumption in the preparation process, achieves energy saving and consumption reduction, and provides a new way for large-scale carbon dioxide capture and storage, which helps to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.

[0004] At present, there are many problems in using LNG cold energy to generate carbon dioxide hydrates. For example, in summer, when gas consumption decreases, LNG is supplied to downstream users through intermittent gasification. When LNG stops gasifying, the supply of cold energy decreases and is insufficient to provide the cold energy required for hydrate formation. In addition, after carbon dioxide hydrates meet the formation conditions, they need to go through a certain induction period before they can be generated, and the synthesis rate of carbon dioxide hydrates is affected by factors such as the degree of supercooling in the generation environment. Increasing the degree of supercooling can effectively increase the generation rate. Therefore, if the continuous preparation and marine storage of carbon dioxide hydrates using LNG cold energy is to be realized, the problem of continuous supply of LNG cold energy must be solved, and the efficiency of hydrate preparation must be improved at the same time. Through investigation, it was found that in the "A Hydrate Cold Storage and Supply System Based on LNG Cold Energy" with patent number CN116907153A, LNG cold energy was used to generate hydrates, but in summer, users' demand for natural gas is reduced, and LNG is supplied by intermittent gasification. When LNG stops gasification, it is impossible to use LNG cold energy to generate carbon dioxide hydrates. For example, in the "A Method for Marine Storage of Carbon Dioxide Hydrates" with patent number CN116040138 B, this method cannot achieve the effect of continuous preparation in the hydrate preparation method. The present invention prepares carbon dioxide hydrates using LNG cold energy, and through the continuous supply of cold energy and the continuous hydrate generation process, it is expected to solve the problem of continuous hydrate preparation, and ultimately solve the marine storage of carbon dioxide hydrates. Summary of the invention

[0005] Aiming at some problems in the existing field of carbon dioxide hydrate storage, the present invention proposes a carbon dioxide hydrate generation and marine storage system and method using LNG cold energy.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is achieved by at least one of the following technical solutions.

[0007] The LNG gasification system and the cold energy continuous supply system are used to provide the cold energy required for the subsequent formation of carbon dioxide hydrate.

[0008] The LNG gasification system includes an LNG storage tank, an LNG pump, an LNG gasification processing device, and a condenser; the specific connection relationship is: the output end of the LNG storage tank is connected to the input end of the LNG pump, the output end of the LNG pump is connected to the input end of the condenser, the output end of the condenser is connected to the input end of the LNG gasification processing device, and the output end of the LNG gasification processing device is connected to the downstream user;

[0009] Furthermore, the LNG in the LNG storage tank is transported under pressure by an LNG pump, then releases cold energy through a condenser, and finally is gasified into natural gas through a gasification processing device and then sent to downstream users.

[0010] Furthermore, the LNG gasification system also includes a first pressure sensor, a first temperature sensor, a second pressure sensor, a second temperature sensor and a first flow meter, the pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure of the LNG, the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the LNG, and the flow meter is used to measure the flow of the LNG.

[0011] The cold energy continuous supply system comprises a liquid ammonia storage tank, a liquid ammonia pump, a first vaporizer, a second vaporizer, an ammonia storage tank, a condenser and a first centrifugal compressor; the specific connection relationship is: the output end of the liquid ammonia storage tank is connected to the input end of the liquid ammonia pump, the output end of the liquid ammonia pump is connected to the input end of the first vaporizer, the output end of the first vaporizer is connected to the input end of the second vaporizer, the output end of the second vaporizer is connected to the input end of the ammonia storage tank, the output end of the ammonia storage tank is connected to the input end of the first centrifugal compressor, the output end of the first centrifugal compressor is connected to the input end of the condenser, and the output end of the condenser is returned and connected to the input end of the liquid ammonia storage tank, forming a complete circulation path;

[0012] Furthermore, the cold energy continuous supply system also includes a third pressure sensor, a third temperature sensor, a fourth pressure sensor, a fourth temperature sensor and a second flow meter, the pressure sensor is used to monitor the liquid ammonia pressure, the temperature sensor is used to monitor the liquid ammonia temperature, and the flow meter is used to measure the liquid ammonia flow.

[0013] Furthermore, the cold energy continuous supply system also includes a fifth pressure sensor, a fifth temperature sensor, a sixth pressure sensor, a sixth temperature sensor and a third flow meter, the pressure sensor is used to monitor the ammonia pressure, the temperature sensor is used to monitor the ammonia temperature, and the flow meter is used to measure the ammonia flow.

[0014] Furthermore, the liquid ammonia changes from liquid to gas after being vaporized by the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer, and is stored in an ammonia storage tank; the ammonia gas is then pressurized by the first centrifugal compressor, and then condensed into liquid ammonia again by the condenser, and refluxed to the liquid ammonia storage tank, thereby realizing the gas-liquid recycling of ammonia; at the same time, the cold energy obtained by the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer is transferred to carbon dioxide and seawater.

[0015] Furthermore, when the LNG gasification system is working, it provides cooling capacity to the condenser, and the ammonia gas is liquefied into liquid ammonia and stored in the liquid ammonia storage tank. At the same time, the gas-liquid circulation of liquid ammonia and ammonia gas provides cooling capacity to the first gasifier and the second gasifier. This process can provide cooling capacity through the gas-liquid conversion of liquid ammonia and ammonia gas, and can also utilize the liquefaction of ammonia gas into liquid ammonia to store cooling capacity. When the LNG gasification system stops working, the gas-liquid conversion of liquid ammonia and ammonia gas can be utilized to provide cooling capacity to the first gasifier and the second gasifier, thereby realizing the continuous provision of cooling capacity required for the subsequent continuous preparation of hydrates.

[0016] The precooling system, the pressurizing system, the hydrate generation system and the hydrate pipeline transportation system are used to transport the precooled carbon dioxide and seawater to two reactors respectively to generate hydrates, and effectively separate the unreacted carbon dioxide, unreacted seawater and generated hydrates through a three-phase separator; the unreacted carbon dioxide is transported to the carbon dioxide pipeline at the outlet of the low-temperature precooling water tank through a pipeline and before the second centrifugal compressor; the unreacted seawater is transported to the seawater pipeline at the bottom outlet of the low-temperature precooling water tank through a pipeline and before the pressure pump; the hydrate enters the slurry storage and distribution tank through the bottom outlet of the three-phase separator, the seawater in the slurry storage and distribution tank is provided by the low-temperature precooling water tank, the seawater in the slurry storage and distribution tank that passes through the low-temperature precooling water tank is volume-proportioned with hydrates, and the hydrate slurry formed by the proportioned seawater and hydrates is transported to the bottom of the seabed reservoir through the hydrate slurry transportation pipeline for sealing.

[0017] The precooling system comprises a low-temperature precooling water tank and a first vaporizer; the cold energy transmitted by the first vaporizer is used for precooling the low-temperature precooling water tank, the low-temperature precooling water tank is equipped with seawater and carbon dioxide pipelines, the carbon dioxide pipeline is connected to the low-temperature precooling water tank to precool under the low-temperature environment, and the seawater pipeline is connected to inject seawater into the low-temperature precooling water tank for precooling;

[0018] Furthermore, the low-temperature precooling water tank is provided with a fifteenth temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature inside the low-temperature precooling water tank 61, and by monitoring the temperature change, the release of the cooling capacity of the first vaporizer is controlled to improve the utilization efficiency of the cooling capacity.

[0019] Furthermore, the external carbon dioxide and seawater pass through the low-temperature precooling water tank, and the internal temperature is controlled at 4-6°C, which is used for precooling carbon dioxide and seawater; due to the high temperature of the external seawater and carbon dioxide, precooling is beneficial to reduce the load of the gasifier, increase the supercooling degree of the subsequent hydrate generation environment, shorten the induction period of hydrate growth, and ultimately increase the hydrate generation rate. Further, the volume of seawater inside the low-temperature precooling water tank is controlled at 90% of the volume of the low-temperature precooling water tank, which is used to improve the utilization efficiency of the low-temperature precooling water tank and to have sufficient precooled seawater and hydrate volume ratio when the hydrate slurry is transported in the subsequent hydrate pipeline transportation system.

[0020] The pressurizing system comprises a pressurizing pump, a second centrifugal compressor, a low-temperature precooling water tank, a first high-pressure reactor and a second high-pressure reactor; the specific connection relationship is: the seawater output end at the bottom end of the low-temperature precooling water tank is connected to the input end of the pressurizing pump, the pressurizing pump has two output ends, the first output end of the pressurizing pump is connected to the liquid phase input end of the first high-pressure reactor, and the second output end of the pressurizing pump is connected to the liquid phase input end of the second high-pressure reactor; the carbon dioxide pipeline is precooled by the low-temperature precooling water tank and then connected to the input end of the second centrifugal compressor, the second centrifugal compressor has two output ends, the first output end of the second centrifugal compressor is connected to the gas phase input end of the first high-pressure reactor, and the second output end of the second centrifugal compressor is connected to the gas phase input end of the second high-pressure reactor;

[0021] Furthermore, the booster pump is used to increase the delivery pressure of seawater and transport seawater; the second centrifugal compressor is used to increase the delivery pressure of carbon dioxide and transport carbon dioxide; the two output ends of the booster pump are respectively connected to the liquid phase input ends of the two reactors, and the two output ends of the second centrifugal compressor are respectively connected to the gas phase input ends of the two reactors.

[0022] Furthermore, the second centrifugal compressor in the pressurizing system is equipped with a seventh pressure sensor, a seventh temperature sensor, an eighth pressure sensor, an eighth temperature sensor, a fifth flowmeter and a seventh flowmeter before and after; wherein the pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure of carbon dioxide, the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of carbon dioxide, and the flowmeter is used to measure the flow of carbon dioxide; at the same time, the pressurizing pump is equipped with a ninth pressure sensor, a ninth temperature sensor, a tenth pressure sensor, a tenth temperature sensor, a fourth flowmeter and a sixth flowmeter before and after; the pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure of seawater, the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of seawater, and the flowmeter is used to measure the flow of seawater.

[0023] The hydrate generation system comprises a low-temperature precooling water tank, a booster pump, a second centrifugal compressor, a first high-pressure reactor, a second high-pressure reactor, a first agitator, a second agitator, a second gasifier and a three-phase separator; the specific connection relationship is: the two output ends of the booster pump are respectively connected to the liquid phase input ends of the first high-pressure reactor and the second high-pressure reactor; the two output ends of the second centrifugal compressor are respectively connected to the gas phase input ends of the first high-pressure reactor and the second high-pressure reactor; the output ends at the bottom ends of the first high-pressure reactor and the second high-pressure reactor are connected to the input end at the top end of the three-phase separator; the gas phase output end at the top of the three-phase separator is connected to the carbon dioxide pipeline at the output end of the low-temperature precooling water tank and before the second centrifugal compressor; the liquid phase output end at the top of the three-phase separator is connected to the seawater pipeline at the output end of the bottom end of the low-temperature precooling water tank and before the booster pump; the solid phase output end at the bottom end of the three-phase separator is connected to the hydrate pipeline transportation system;

[0024] Furthermore, carbon dioxide and seawater enter the first high-pressure reactor and the second high-pressure reactor, and the internal pressure is maintained at 5 MPa. At the same time, the release of the cold capacity of the second gasifier is controlled to control the temperature of the two reactors at 0.5-1.5°C, and the internal environment is maintained at a low temperature and high pressure, in which hydrates will be generated; at the same time, there is a large degree of supercooling inside, and through the continuous stirring of the first agitator and the second agitator, the induction time is significantly shortened, and hydrates are quickly generated.

[0025] Furthermore, the first high-pressure reactor is equipped with an eleventh pressure sensor and an eleventh temperature sensor; the second high-pressure reactor is equipped with a twelfth pressure sensor and a twelfth temperature sensor; the pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure of the two reactors, and the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the two reactors.

[0026] Furthermore, the hydrates generated by the two reactors pass through a three-phase separator, and an insulation layer is applied outside the three-phase separator to prevent the loss of cold. After the unreacted carbon dioxide is transported to the carbon dioxide pipeline at the output end of the low-temperature precooling water tank through the gas phase output end at the top of the three-phase separator, an insulation layer is applied outside the pipeline in front of the second centrifugal compressor. After the unreacted seawater is transported to the seawater pipeline at the bottom output end of the low-temperature precooling water tank through the liquid phase output end at the top of the three-phase separator, an insulation layer is applied outside the pipeline in front of the booster pump. The hydrates separated from the bottom solid phase output end are transported to the hydrate pipeline transportation system.

[0027] Furthermore, in the hydrate generation system, hydrates are prepared through two reactors, and a three-phase separator is used to separate unreacted carbon dioxide, unreacted seawater and hydrates; since carbon dioxide is dissolved in the unreacted seawater, this part of the seawater will subsequently generate a part of hydrates, and in order to improve the storage efficiency of carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide and seawater are transported through pipelines to re-enter the two reactors for hydrate preparation; and the generated hydrates are separated through the solid phase output end at the bottom of the three-phase separator and enter the hydrate pipeline transportation system, and an insulation layer is applied outside the pipeline; in the hydrate preparation process, the carbon dioxide pipeline and the seawater pipeline form a cycle, and at the same time, the LNG gasification system and the cold energy continuous supply system are used to provide continuous cold energy, thereby ultimately realizing the continuous preparation of hydrates.

[0028] The hydrate pipeline transportation system comprises a low-temperature precooling water tank, a three-phase separator, a slurry storage and distribution tank, a mixed transfer pump, and a hydrate slurry transportation pipeline; the specific connection relationship is: the solid phase output end at the bottom of the three-phase separator is connected to the input end at the top of the slurry storage and distribution tank, the output end at the bottom of the low-temperature precooling water tank is connected to the input end at the bottom of the slurry storage and distribution tank, the output end at the bottom of the slurry storage and distribution tank is connected to the input end of the mixed transfer pump, and the output end of the mixed transfer pump is connected to the hydrate slurry transportation pipeline; the pipeline between the seawater outlet at the bottom of the low-temperature precooling water tank and the inlet at the bottom of the slurry storage and distribution tank and the pipelines before and after the mixed transfer pump are all laid with a thermal insulation layer;

[0029] Furthermore, hydrates and seawater enter a slurry storage and distribution tank, and the volume ratio of low-temperature seawater and hydrates in the slurry storage and distribution tank is controlled. The hydrate slurry formed after stirring is stirred by a third agitator, and then is transported to the seabed reservoir through a mixing pump and a hydrate slurry transportation pipeline for hydrate sealing.

[0030] Furthermore, the slurry storage and distribution tank mixes hydrates and seawater in a certain volume ratio. The volume ratio of the liquid-solid mixture is determined according to the characteristics of the hydrate particles (size, shape, density), the characteristics of the seawater (viscosity, surface tension), the characteristics of the transportation pipeline (diameter, roughness, etc.) and the transportation pressure. The hydrate slurry is then transported to the seabed reservoir through the booster of the mixing pump using the hydrate slurry transportation pipeline.

[0031] Furthermore, the hydrate pipeline transportation system also includes a thirteenth pressure sensor, a thirteenth temperature sensor, a fourteenth pressure sensor, a fourteenth temperature sensor and an eighth flow meter; the pressure sensor is used to monitor the hydrate slurry pressure, the temperature sensor is used to monitor the hydrate slurry temperature, and the flow meter is used to measure the hydrate slurry flow.

[0032] Furthermore, in the hydrate pipeline transportation system, the hydrate slurry transportation pipeline should be provided with an insulation layer to keep the pipeline cold so as to prevent the decomposition of hydrates and the escape of carbon dioxide; the temperature of the seabed decreases with the increase of depth; therefore, when the pipeline reaches a certain depth on the seabed, the insulation layer may not be laid, which can reduce the cost during construction; when the temperature at a certain location on the seabed is detected to be 1°C, the hydrate slurry transportation pipeline is provided with an insulation layer above the location, and no insulation layer may be laid below the location.

[0033] Furthermore, all pressure sensors, temperature sensors and flow sensors in the LNG gasification system, cold energy continuous supply system, precooling system, pressurization system, hydrate generation system and hydrate pipeline transportation system transmit pressure, temperature and flow information to the computer data acquisition device to monitor the operating conditions in real time.

[0034] Furthermore, one-way stop valves are provided at the output ends of the LNG pump, liquid ammonia pump, first centrifugal compressor, second centrifugal compressor, booster pump and mixed transfer pump to prevent backflow of fluid, maintain the pressure of each system, and ensure normal inflow and outflow of fluid.

[0035] Furthermore, regulating valves are installed in the LNG gasification system, cold energy continuous supply system, precooling system, pressurization system, hydrate generation system, and hydrate pipeline transportation system to adjust the flow rate of the fluid in each system.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. By utilizing the cold energy generated by LNG gasification to prepare carbon dioxide hydrate, the related cold energy manufacturing equipment is reduced, and the energy consumption in the process of carbon dioxide hydrate generation is greatly reduced.

[0038] 2. First, cold energy is used to precool carbon dioxide and seawater, and then precooling is performed again in the two reactors to generate hydrates. The carbon dioxide and seawater are precooled twice to reduce the load of the gasifier and make the gasifier work more stably. At the same time, an insulation layer is laid on the carbon dioxide and seawater reinjection pipelines, and an insulation layer is laid on the outside of the three-phase separator and in the hydrate pipeline transportation system. The above-mentioned two precooling and cold preservation measures realize efficient utilization of cold energy.

[0039] 3. When the LNG gasification system is working, ammonia gas is condensed into liquid ammonia and stored in a liquid ammonia storage tank. At the same time, the gas-liquid circulation of liquid ammonia and ammonia gas is used to provide cooling for hydrate formation. This process can not only provide sufficient cooling for hydrate formation, but also store sufficient cooling. When the LNG gasification system stops working, cooling continues to be provided through the gas-liquid conversion between liquid ammonia and ammonia gas, thereby achieving a continuous supply of cooling required for hydrate formation.

[0040] 4. Hydrates are prepared by continuous cold supply, precooling, double reactors, and continuous stirring; a three-phase separator is used to separate the prepared hydrates, unreacted carbon dioxide, and unreacted seawater; the separated unreacted carbon dioxide and seawater are transported through pipelines and then enter the two reactors; at the same time, an insulation layer is laid outside the carbon dioxide reinjection pipeline, the seawater reinjection pipeline, and the three-phase separator to provide cold preservation measures, thereby ultimately achieving continuous preparation of hydrates.

[0041] 5. The hydrate and seawater in the slurry storage tank are mixed by adjusting the volume ratio of liquid to solid, and agitators are used for stirring, thereby fully improving the efficiency of pipeline transportation of hydrate slurry. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
