Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biogas liquefaction. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the wide application of biogas resources in small and medium-sized distributed scenarios, the efficient liquefaction of biogas to prepare bio-liquefied natural gas has become an important direction to improve its energy density and economic value. The removal of high-concentration carbon dioxide in biogas is a key pretreatment step for liquefaction. Although traditional chemical absorption and pressure swing adsorption methods are relatively mature, they have problems such as complex equipment, high energy consumption, and the need for chemical regenerations, which are not suitable for small and medium-sized scenarios. In recent years, low-temperature condensation decarburization technology has attracted attention due to its simple process and the absence of added substances. However, in actual operation, especially for small and medium-sized biogas with large fluctuations in gas quality, the core bottleneck is that carbon dioxide, water vapor, and trace impurities in the condensation process are easily co-crystallized on the low-temperature heat exchange surface, forming complex mixed ice blockages, which seriously damage heat transfer and block flow channels, leading to frequent system shutdown and ice removal, and unable to run stably and continuously. Existing ice blockage prevention methods mainly focus on single-factor control or passive ice removal, and lack of integrated solutions for active prevention and dynamic control of condensation decarburization processes, which restricts the reliability and economy of the technology in the field of small and medium-sized biogas liquefaction. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a biogas liquefaction decarburization system and method with high integration, strong adaptability, and the ability to fundamentally prevent ice blockage condensation.

[0003] Patent application CN202410844323.2 (A supercritical pressure low-temperature carbon capture with pressure liquefaction coupling process for biogas) provides a supercritical pressure low-temperature carbon capture with pressure liquefaction coupling process for biogas, which separates carbon dioxide by condensation under high pressure and low temperature conditions, and provides cold energy by combining a single-stage mixed refrigerant cycle. It has the advantages of high equipment integration and low investment cost. However, this invention and similar low-temperature condensation processes are based on the ideal premise of deep dehydration of the inlet gas and constant gas quality. In actual operation, the risk of "ice blockage" caused by the condensation and co-crystallization of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and trace impurities in the biogas on the low-temperature heat exchange surface is completely ignored. Therefore, this invention focuses on the active prevention and coordinated control of ice blockage in actual scenarios with large fluctuations in biogas quality and high operation and maintenance requirements, aiming to develop a condensation decarburization process that integrates ice blockage prevention mechanisms, can adapt to changes in inlet conditions, and can run stably for a long time, to solve the core obstacle from laboratory methods to engineering applications.

[0011] A biogas liquefaction method, characterized in that the aforementioned biogas liquefaction system with anti-icing and anti-clogging desublimation decarbonization mechanism comprises the following steps: A pretreatment step: after the biogas is produced by the biogas fermentation device, the first gas flow regulating valve is opened, the biogas enters the filter, the impurities in the biogas are filtered out, and then the biogas enters the first gas-liquid separator for dehydration, the condensed water separated out is discharged from the first water trap, the dehydrated biogas enters the sulfur-containing gas pre-absorption tower to remove most of the sulfides, and then enters the heater for heating, the heated biogas enters the hydrolysis tower, the condensed water is discharged from the first water trap, and after the organic sulfur is hydrolyzed into hydrogen sulfide, the biogas enters the third gas water cooler, the cooled biogas enters the sulfur-containing gas fine absorption tower for further desulfurization, and the biogas after dehydration and desulfurization enters the first gas compressor and the second gas water cooler in sequence to complete the pressurization and cooling of the biogas; A denitrification step: the first nitrogen adsorption tower and the second nitrogen adsorption tower in the VPSA denitrogenation mechanism work alternately in adsorption and regeneration, and for example, the first nitrogen adsorption tower is adsorbed and the second nitrogen adsorption tower is regenerated, the steps are as follows: The biogas after desulfurization, dehydration, pressurization, and cooling enters the first gas buffer tank, the stabilized gas enters the first nitrogen adsorption tower through the first manifold, the second gas flow regulating valve, and the second manifold for denitrification, most of the biogas after the removal of nitrogen enters the second gas buffer tank through the third manifold, the fourth gas flow regulating valve, and the fourth manifold, and the stabilized denitrified biogas enters the first hot end inlet of the first LNG heat exchanger. Open the sixth gas flow regulating valve to connect the second nitrogen adsorption tower to the vacuum pump. The pressure inside the second nitrogen adsorption tower drops rapidly to negative pressure, and the adsorbed nitrogen is desorbed from the internal adsorption material. At this time, a small portion of the biogas after denitrification passes through the third manifold, the eighth gas flow regulating valve, and the sixth manifold to purge the nitrogen desorbed from the second nitrogen adsorption tower from top to bottom. This mixed gas is discharged from the system through the third gas buffer tank and the vacuum pump under the action of suction, thus completing the regeneration of the second nitrogen adsorption tower. Sublimation decarbonization process: The two sublimation separators in the sublimation decarbonization unit alternately perform sublimation crystallization of carbon dioxide and sublimation to remove carbon dioxide regeneration. Taking the first sublimation separator for sublimation crystallization of carbon dioxide and the second sublimation separator for sublimation to remove carbon dioxide regeneration as an example, the steps are as follows: After dehydration, desulfurization, and denitrification, and pressurization, the biogas containing carbon dioxide enters the hot end inlet of the first LNG heat exchanger. After being cooled, it flows out from the hot end outlet of the first LNG heat exchanger, passes through the first three-way switching valve, and enters the separation inlet of the first sublimation separator. When the carbon dioxide gas in the mixed gas passes through the cold pipe, it reaches the critical point of phase change and sublimates into solid carbon dioxide crystals. The biogas gas with carbon dioxide removed is cooled and flows out from the separation outlet of the first sublimation separator, passes through the second three-way switching valve, and enters the hot end inlet of the second LNG heat exchanger. When there are too many carbon dioxide crystals in the first sublimation separator, the process switches to the second sublimation separator to sublimate and crystallize carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide storage tank pre-stores carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas enters the heat pipe inlet of the second sublimation separator through the eleventh flow regulating valve and the fourth three-way switching valve. After releasing heat, the carbon dioxide flows out from the heat pipe outlet of the second sublimation separator. The solid carbon dioxide crystals inside the second sublimation separator are heated and undergo a phase change, sublimating into gas. It flows from the second separation outlet of the second sublimation separator through the third three-way switching valve into the third cold end inlet of the first LNG heat exchanger to release its cooling capacity. Then it flows out from the third cold end outlet of the first LNG heat exchanger. Part of it is stored in the carbon dioxide storage tank through the tenth flow regulating valve until the storage capacity in the carbon dioxide storage tank reaches the set value; part of it enters the heat pipe inlet of the second sublimation separator through the fourth three-way switching valve to provide heat. After releasing heat, it flows out from the heat pipe outlet of the second sublimation separator, and this cycle continues. After carbon dioxide is separated by condensation, the methane-containing biogas gas flows into the second hot end inlet of the second LNG heat exchanger. After releasing all the heat, it flows out from the second hot end outlet of the second LNG heat exchanger. After being depressurized and cooled by the third throttle valve, it is output as liquefied biogas. In the above process, the nitrogen gas sequentially passes through the fifth gas compressor and the fourth gas water cooler, the pressurized and cooled nitrogen gas enters the second hot end inlet of the first LNG heat exchanger, and after being preliminarily cooled, it flows out from the hot end outlet of the first LNG heat exchanger into the first gas expander, the expanded nitrogen gas passes through the flow divider, part of the nitrogen gas flows out from the flow divider into the first hot end inlet of the second LNG heat exchanger, and after being deeply cooled, it flows out from the first hot end outlet of the second LNG heat exchanger into the second gas expander, the expanded low-temperature gas flows into the cold end inlet of the second LNG heat exchanger, and after releasing part of the cold energy, it flows out from the cold end outlet of the second LNG heat exchanger into the second cold end inlet of the first LNG heat exchanger, and after releasing the remaining cold energy, it flows out from the second cold end outlet of the first LNG heat exchanger into the mixer after sequentially passing through the fourth gas compressor and the third gas water cooler, and the other part of the nitrogen gas flows out from the flow divider into the first cold end inlet of the first LNG heat exchanger, and after releasing the cold energy, it flows out from the cold end outlet of the first LNG heat exchanger into the mixer, and after the two parts of nitrogen gas are combined, they flow out of the mixer into the fifth gas compressor, thereby continuously circulating refrigeration. In the above process, the cooling medium R170 flows out from the cold end outlet of the first cascade heat exchanger, is depressurized and cooled by the first throttling valve, flows into the cold pipe inlet of the first desublimation separator through the fifth three-way valve, releases the cold energy, and flows out from the cold pipe outlet of the first desublimation separator, sequentially flows into the hot end inlet of the first cascade heat exchanger through the sixth three-way valve and the ninth gas flow regulating valve, the cooled fluid enters the second gas compressor, the compressed gas flows into the hot end inlet of the second cascade heat exchanger, the cooled fluid flows out from the hot end outlet of the second cascade heat exchanger into the cold end inlet of the first cascade heat exchanger, and after releasing the cold energy, the fluid flows out from the cold end outlet of the first cascade heat exchanger to complete the cycle; the cooling medium R404A flows out from the cold end outlet of the second cascade heat exchanger, sequentially enters the third gas compressor, the condenser and the second throttling valve, and flows into the cold end inlet of the second cascade heat exchanger, thereby continuously circulating refrigeration.

[0012] The advantages of the biogas liquefaction system with an anti-icing desublimation decarbonization mechanism and the biogas liquefaction method are as follows: 1. The desublimation decarbonization mechanism is provided, and two desublimation separators can alternately perform desublimation carbon dioxide crystallization and sublimation carbon dioxide removal regeneration, so that carbon dioxide can be effectively separated from biogas in a crystalline form, which can prevent ice crystal blockage caused by carbon dioxide, water vapor or impurities at low temperature, thereby ensuring that the entire decarbonization and liquefaction process can be long-term, stable and continuous, and overcoming the defects of frequent operation interruption and efficiency reduction in traditional low-temperature separation process.

[0013] II. The biogas liquefaction mechanism is deeply coupled and optimized with the nitrogen expansion refrigeration cycle and the carbon dioxide desublimation decarbonization process. The system realizes efficient cascade utilization of cold energy, significantly improves system energy efficiency, and greatly reduces unit product energy consumption. Moreover, the nitrogen expansion refrigeration cycle has high adaptability to fluctuations in the gas source conditions of raw biogas. Under wide gas conditions, compared with traditional mixed refrigerant refrigeration cycles, the system can maintain high liquefaction rate and stable low energy consumption operation, has strong anti-working condition fluctuation ability, and is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized biogas projects with unstable gas sources.

Each module is cooperatively designed and optimized, has high overall integration, compact process flow, and high automation, and is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized application scenarios that are sensitive to land area, operation convenience, and initial investment.

[0027] The desublimation decarburization mechanism is provided with two desublimators. Each desublimator is provided with a cold pipe for providing cold to sublimate carbon dioxide in biogas and a hot pipe for providing heat to sublimate carbon dioxide. The two desublimators can alternately sublimate carbon dioxide and regenerate by sublimating and removing carbon dioxide. By alternately sublimating carbon dioxide and regenerating by sublimating and removing carbon dioxide through the two desublimators, continuous removal of carbon dioxide can be achieved, and ice blockage can be effectively avoided. The alternation of the two desublimators is achieved by switching through the first three-way switching valve 34, the second three-way switching valve 36, the third three-way switching valve 38, and the fourth three-way switching valve 39.

[0028] Taking the first desublimator 35 as an example, carbon dioxide is sublimated and crystallized, and the second desublimator 37 is regenerated by sublimating and removing carbon dioxide.

[0029] The biogas containing methane and carbon dioxide after dehydration, desulfurization and denitrification and being pressurized enters the first hot end inlet 33a of the LNG heat exchanger, is cooled and then flows out from the first hot end outlet 33b of the first LNG heat exchanger, enters the separation inlet 35a of the first condensation separator 35 through the first three-way switch valve 34, and the carbon dioxide gas in the mixed gas reaches the phase change critical point when passing through the first condensation separator cold pipe (35c, 35d), and is condensed into solid carbon dioxide crystals.

[0030] The cooling medium R170 flows out from the cold end outlet 43d of the first cascade heat exchanger, is depressurized and cooled by the first throttling valve 46, then flows into the first condensation separator from the cold end inlet 35c through the fifth three-way switch valve 40, flows out from the cold pipe outlet 35d of the first condensation separator after releasing the cooling capacity, and then flows into the hot end inlet 43a of the first cascade heat exchanger through the sixth three-way switch valve 41 and the ninth gas flow regulating valve 42 in sequence.

The cooling medium R404A flows out from the cold end outlet 45d of the second cascade heat exchanger and then enters the third gas compressor 47, the condenser 48 and the second throttling valve 49 in sequence, and then enters the cold end inlet 45c of the second cascade heat exchanger. The cooling medium R170 and the cooling medium R404A continuously circulate to provide cooling capacity for the condensation crystallization of the first condensation separator to remove carbon dioxide. When the second condensation separator is used for condensation crystallization to remove carbon dioxide, the cooling medium R170 and the cooling medium R404A continuously circulate to provide cooling capacity for the condensation crystallization of the second condensation separator to remove carbon dioxide, and the fifth three-way switch valve 40 and the sixth three-way switch valve 41 are switched.

[0031] The second desublimation separator 37 sublimes and removes carbon dioxide for regeneration: The carbon dioxide gas is pre-stored in the carbon dioxide storage tank 61, and the carbon dioxide gas enters the heat pipe inlet 37e of the second desublimation separator 37 through the eleventh flow regulating valve 62 and the fourth three-way switch valve 39. The carbon dioxide releasing heat flows out from the heat pipe outlet 37f of the second desublimation separator 37. The solid carbon dioxide crystals in the second desublimation separator 37 are heated to sublimate into gas, and then flow into the third cold end inlet 33e of the first LNG heat exchanger through the second separation outlet 37g of the second desublimation separator and the third three-way switch valve 38 to release cold. Then, the carbon dioxide flows out from the third cold end outlet 33f of the first LNG heat exchanger. Part of the carbon dioxide is stored in the carbon dioxide storage tank 61 through the tenth flow regulating valve 60 until the storage amount in the carbon dioxide storage tank 61 reaches the set value, and then the tenth flow regulating valve 60 is closed. Part of the carbon dioxide enters the heat pipe inlet 37e of the second desublimation separator through the fourth three-way switch valve 39 to provide heat, and then flows out from the heat pipe outlet 37f of the second desublimation separator after releasing heat. The cycle is repeated until the carbon dioxide crystals in the second desublimation separator 37 are exhausted. The carbon dioxide generated by the desublimation separator is used as a heating medium to sublimate the carbon dioxide crystals, which effectively reduces the equipment cost and the sublimation energy consumption.

[0032] The above-mentioned process of sublimating and removing carbon dioxide for regeneration in the second desublimation separator 37 is based on the premise that the second desublimation separator 37 has already crystallized carbon dioxide by desublimation. When the device is started, one desublimation separator crystallizes carbon dioxide by desublimation, and the other desublimation separator waits. When the carbon dioxide crystals in one desublimation separator are too much, the desublimation is switched to the other desublimation separator to crystallize carbon dioxide by desublimation. The desublimation separator with carbon dioxide crystals is used for sublimation to remove carbon dioxide for regeneration. Then, the crystallization by desublimation and the sublimation for regeneration are alternately performed.

[0033] The carbon dioxide crystals are separated from the biogas, and the biogas gas from which the carbon dioxide is removed flows out from the first separation outlet 35b of the first desublimation separator after being cooled, enters the second hot end inlet 52a of the second LNG heat exchanger through the second three-way switch valve 36, and is discharged from the second hot end outlet 52b of the second LNG heat exchanger after being cooled in the second LNG heat exchanger.

[0038] Desublimation decarbonization step: the two desublimation separators in the desublimation decarbonization mechanism alternately perform desublimation crystallization to remove carbon dioxide and sublimation to remove carbon dioxide for regeneration, taking the first desublimation separator 35 to perform desublimation crystallization of carbon dioxide and the second desublimation separator 37 to perform sublimation to remove carbon dioxide for regeneration as an example, the steps are as follows.

The nitrogen gas at 37 ℃ and 0.7 MPa is compressed and cooled to 20 ℃ and 2 MPa by the fourth gas compressor 55 and the third gas water cooler 56, respectively, and then flows into the nitrogen circulation through the mixer 57. Another small part of the nitrogen gas flows into the first LNG heat exchanger 33 through the flow divider 51. After releasing the cold energy, the nitrogen gas at 20 ℃ and 2 MPa flows into the mixer 57 again, is compressed by the fifth gas compressor 58, and is cooled by the fourth gas water cooler 59. In this way, the nitrogen gas is continuously circulated and refrigerated.

[0046] To prevent ice blocking caused by methane freezing inside the first desublimation separator 35 and the first desublimation separator 37, it is necessary to ensure that carbon dioxide is solidified before methane is solidified. A set of independent two-stage cascade refrigeration systems is used. The special cascade refrigeration system uses R170 (ethane) as the low-temperature loop refrigerant and R404A as the high-temperature loop refrigerant to provide precise directional cooling for the desublimation separator. The R170 (ethane) fluid at -53°C and 0.2 MPa that releases the cold energy flows out of the first desublimation separator 35, releases cold energy again in the first cascade heat exchanger 43 after passing through the ninth gas flow regulating valve 42, and then the R170 (ethane) fluid at -23°C and 0.2 MPa passes through the second gas compressor 44 for compression. The fluid at 108°C and 1.4 MPa is cooled to -21°C and 1.4 MPa twice in the second cascade heat exchanger 45 and the first cascade heat exchanger 43. After expansion cooling through the first throttling valve 46, the fluid at -70°C and 0.2 MPa enters the first desublimation separator 35 to complete the cycle. The R404A fluid at -5°C and 0.3 MPa that releases the cold energy out of the second cascade heat exchanger 45 is compressed to 58°C and 1.6 MPa by the third gas compressor 47, then condensed to 30°C and 1.6 MPa by the condenser 48, and then expanded and cooled to -31°C and 0.3 MPa by the second throttling valve 49, and then enters the second cascade heat exchanger 45 to complete the cycle.

[0047] As can be seen from the above, the biogas liquefaction system with an anti-ice-blocking desublimation decarbonization mechanism and the biogas liquefaction method provided by the present application have the following advantages: 1. The desublimation decarbonization mechanism is provided, wherein two desublimation separators can alternately perform desublimation crystallization of carbon dioxide and sublimation removal of carbon dioxide for regeneration, so that carbon dioxide can be effectively separated from biogas in a crystalline form, which can prevent ice blocking caused by carbon dioxide, water vapor or impurities at low temperature, thereby ensuring that the entire decarbonization and liquefaction process can be operated long-term, stably and continuously, and overcoming the defects of frequent operation interruption and efficiency reduction in traditional low-temperature separation processes.

[0048] 2. The biogas liquefaction mechanism is deeply coupled and cooperatively optimized with the nitrogen expansion refrigeration cycle and the carbon dioxide desublimation decarbonization process. The system realizes efficient cascade utilization of cold energy, the system energy efficiency is significantly improved, and the unit product energy consumption is greatly reduced. Moreover, the nitrogen expansion refrigeration cycle has high adaptability to fluctuations in the gas source conditions of raw biogas. Under wide inlet gas conditions, compared with traditional mixed refrigerant refrigeration cycles, the system can maintain high liquefaction rate and stable low energy consumption operation, has strong anti-working condition fluctuation ability, and is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized biogas projects with unstable gas sources.

[0049] Thirdly, the raw gas pretreatment mechanism, VPSA denitrogenation mechanism, desublimation decarburization mechanism, biogas liquefaction mechanism and cascade refrigeration mechanism of the system are synergistically optimized. Each module is synergistically designed and optimized, and the overall integration degree is high. The process flow is compact, and automation can be realized. It is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized application scenarios which are sensitive to land area, operation convenience and initial investment.
