Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to biogas liquefaction technology, and particularly to a full-process biogas liquefaction and carbon dioxide co-production system. Background Art
[0002] At present, biogas liquefaction and carbon dioxide capture technologies face challenges under complex raw material conditions and full-process conditions. The proportions of methane and carbon dioxide in biogas produced by different raw materials through fermentation vary greatly, and the ratio of methane to carbon dioxide also changes dynamically at different stages during the fermentation process of the same raw material. Traditional processes have certain limitations in adapting to multiple working conditions, reducing energy consumption, and improving resource utilization efficiency, and are difficult to meet the requirements of diversified biogas liquefaction and carbon dioxide capture. In the patent CN202010091218.8 (a mixed refrigerant biogas pressurized liquefaction system and its working method) previously disclosed by Wang Yong et al., a biogas pretreatment unit, a secondary membrane separation unit, a mixed refrigerant refrigeration cycle unit, and a CO2 rectification and purification unit are provided to achieve efficient desulfurization, dehydration, and filtration of biogas. The secondary membrane separation unit can separate biogas into a high-purity CH4 stream and a CO2-rich stream, and produce liquid CH4 and food-grade liquid CO2 through pressurized liquefaction and rectification processes. However, it still has deficiencies in terms of adaptability and process efficiency. First, the secondary membrane separation unit and the pressurized liquefaction process of the system cannot get rid of the dependence on the ratio of methane and carbon dioxide in biogas raw materials, and it is difficult to cope with the multi-condition of dynamic changes in methane and carbon dioxide during the fermentation process of different raw materials and cannot efficiently separate and liquefy the biogas components at different stages of the full process, resulting in poor applicability. Second, there is a 5% - 10% loss of raw gas in the secondary membrane separation, resulting in a low resource utilization rate. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the remarkable technical effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0030] It is applicable to the dynamic changes in the proportions of methane and carbon dioxide during the fermentation processes of different raw materials. It can achieve the liquefaction and recovery of methane and carbon dioxide under different gas component stages through process flow changes. The system has good adaptability and avoids the high requirements for the raw material gas component ratio in the traditional mixed refrigerant system.
[0031] The collaborative design of the rich carbon system and the lean carbon system can adapt to the full process conditions of biogas treatment, efficiently complete gas separation and liquefaction, and solve the pain points that the traditional process cannot optimize the gas components in different stages of biogas fermentation.
[0032] The system design reduces energy consumption. Through the nitrogen removal and recovery module and the BOG re-liquefaction module, it improves the resource utilization efficiency. In contrast, the mixed refrigerant refrigeration cycle system used in Wang Yong's patent in the background technology relies on a complex refrigeration cycle and has relatively high energy consumption.
[0033] The system allows biogas raw gas with different components to enter the corresponding rich-carbon system or lean-carbon system after passing through the raw gas pretreatment module. After passing through the membrane separation carbon dioxide removal module or the carbon dioxide absorption tower, the gas then enters the biogas liquefaction module, the nitrogen removal and recovery module, and the BOG re-liquefaction module in sequence. Thus, efficient carbon dioxide separation and methane liquefaction are achieved, minimizing the loss of methane components in the raw gas and avoiding the problem of resource waste.
[0034] The system has strong process flexibility. Through the multi-stage coupling process of membrane separation, liquefaction, and nitrogen removal and recovery modules, it can dynamically adjust the treatment strategy according to the gas component ratio and is applicable to various gas source conditions.

[0073] The following is an explanation in combination with the specific operating parameters during the normal operation of a biogas liquefaction system using nitrogen expansion refrigeration:
[0074] Taking the operation of the carbon-enriched system as an example, the 0.1Mpa, 40℃ biogas passes through the first gas flow regulating valve 1, the filter 2, the first gas compressor 3, the first gas water cooler 4, the second gas compressor 5, and the second gas water cooler 6, and then the biogas is pressurized to 5Mpa, 40℃, and passes through the sulfur-containing gas fine absorption tower 12, the first steam-water separator 13, the first steam trap 14, and the drying tower 15. Then, it enters the pressure reducing valve 17, and the gas expands to 0.5Mpa, 20℃, and then the gas passes through the raw gas buffer tank 18 and enters the primary membrane separation group 19, among which the 0.05Mpa, 20℃ CO2 permeate gas flows into a vacuum unit 21 and passes through a vacuum pump circulating water tank 22, and is pressurized to 0.1Mpa, 21℃ as CO2 product gas output, and the 0.4Mpa, 20℃ CH4 The retentate gas enters the bubbling humidifier 24, and the humidified CH4 retentate gas enters the second steam-water separator 25 for dehydration, and then the CH4 retentate gas at 0.4Mpa and 20°C enters the secondary membrane separation group 26, among which the CO2 permeate gas at 0.04Mpa and 20°C flows into the second-stage vacuum unit 28 and passes through the second-stage vacuum pump circulating water tank 29, and then is pressurized to 0.1Mpa and 20°C and flows into the third gas compressor 31, and the gas pressurized to 0.5Mpa and 22°C again flows into the raw gas buffer tank 18, and the CH4 retentate gas at 0.3Mpa and 20°C enters the first methane gas storage tank 56. After the biogas liquefaction module is started, the fifth gas flow regulating valve 57 is opened to allow the gas to flow into the fourth gas compressor 58, and the gas pressurized to 5Mpa and 42°C is merged into the biogas liquefaction module.

The expanded gas enters the second methane storage tank 40. After a period of time, the BOG gas overflowing at 0.12 MPa and -155°C enters the fourth LNG heat exchanger 42 to be cooled to 0.12 MPa and -160°C for reliquefaction.
[0075] In the nitrogen expansion refrigeration cycle, the nitrogen that has absorbed heat flows out from the cold end outlet 34e of the first LNG heat exchanger 34 at 0.1 Mpa and 30 °C, and then enters the fifth gas compressor 46, the fourth gas water cooler 47, the sixth gas compressor 48, and the fifth gas water cooler 49 in sequence, and is pressurized to 5 Mpa and 50 °C. The pressurized nitrogen enters the hot end inlet 34d of the first LNG heat exchanger 34. The gas after releasing heat is divided into two paths. One path of the gas passes through the first LNG heat exchanger 34, the seventh gas flow regulating valve 50, and the first turbine expander 51 in sequence to cool the gas to 0.1 Mpa and -170 °C. The other path of the gas passes through the first LNG heat exchanger 34, the eighth gas flow regulating valve 52, the second LNG heat exchanger 36, and the second turbine expander 53 in sequence to cool to 0.1 Mpa and -165 °C, and then enters the third LNG heat exchanger 38 to absorb heat to 0.1 Mpa and -150 °C, and then converges with the first path to jointly provide cooling capacity for the second LNG heat exchanger 36 and the first LNG heat exchanger 34, absorb heat to 0.1 Mpa and 30 °C, and then enter the fifth gas compressor 46, the fourth gas water cooler 47, the sixth gas compressor 48, and the fifth gas water cooler 49 in sequence to complete the refrigeration cycle.
