[0041] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a carbon capture liquefaction and dry ice preparation system based on LNG cold energy according to an embodiment of the utility model.
[0042] like Figure 1As shown, one embodiment of the utility model provides a carbon capture liquefaction and dry ice preparation system based on LNG cold energy, comprising: a carbon capture unit and a liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit, the carbon capture unit is configured to adsorb and desorb carbon dioxide, and the carbon dioxide desorbed by the carbon capture unit enters the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit;
[0043] Among them, the hot water of the solar thermal unit is used as the heat source of the carbon capture unit, the closed-loop cooling water of the gas-steam combined cycle unit is used as the cold source of the carbon capture unit, and the cold energy generated by the LNG gasification process is used as the cold energy of the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit.
[0044] The carbon capture liquefaction and dry ice preparation system of this embodiment includes a carbon capture unit and a liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit. The carbon capture unit is used to capture carbon dioxide generated after combustion, adsorb and desorb carbon dioxide, and the desorbed carbon dioxide enters the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit to provide raw materials for the preparation of dry ice, thereby avoiding direct emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to cause pollution, and there is no need to seal carbon dioxide in underground oil layers to avoid occupying the oil layer area; at the same time, the hot water of the photothermal unit is used as the heat source of the carbon capture unit, and the closed-loop cooling water of the gas-steam combined cycle unit is used as the cold source of the carbon capture unit, so that the energy of the cold source and the heat source can be fully utilized to improve the energy utilization rate. The cold energy generated by the LNG gasification process is used as the cold energy of the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit, which, on the one hand, realizes the cascade utilization of energy and improves the energy utilization rate, and on the other hand, can also avoid the generation of cold energy pollution to a certain extent, thereby improving the environmental protection of the system.
[0045] Specifically, the carbon capture unit collects flue gas after combustion and adsorbs carbon dioxide in the flue gas, that is, it achieves the adsorption of carbon dioxide. When it is necessary to desorb carbon dioxide, it is connected to the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit, and the carbon dioxide is transported to the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit as a raw material. The liquefied liquid carbon dioxide is stored by the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit. When dry ice needs to be made, liquid carbon dioxide is used as a raw material for preparing dry ice. The entire system can achieve a step-by-step use of the energy of each unit, and convert carbon dioxide in the system to prevent carbon dioxide from being discharged into the atmosphere and polluting the air. At the same time, the liquefied liquid carbon dioxide is used as a raw material for dry ice to avoid the storage of carbon dioxide occupying too much area.
[0046] In one possible embodiment, the carbon capture unit comprises:
[0047] The first adsorption tower 5.1, the first air inlet of the first adsorption tower 5.1 is connected to the exhaust gas P3 at the waste heat boiler outlet, the first liquid inlet and the first liquid outlet of the first adsorption tower 5.1 are both connected to the photothermal unit, the first liquid inlet and the first liquid outlet are also connected to the gas-steam combined cycle unit, and the first air outlet of the first adsorption tower 5.1 is respectively connected to the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit and the unit exhaust flue P5;
[0048] The second adsorption tower 5.2, the second air inlet of the second adsorption tower 5.2 is connected to the exhaust gas P3 at the waste heat boiler outlet, the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet of the second adsorption tower 5.2 are both connected to the photothermal unit, the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet are also connected to the gas-steam combined cycle unit, and the second air outlet of the second adsorption tower 5.2 is respectively connected to the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit and the unit exhaust flue P5;
[0049] Herein, connectivity refers to connectivity through pipelines.
[0050] It should be noted that the carbon capture unit usually includes two adsorption towers, namely the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2. Usually, the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 are used alternately, that is, when the first adsorption tower 5.1 is adsorbing carbon dioxide from the flue gas, the second adsorption tower 5.2 is desorbing carbon dioxide; when the first adsorption tower 5.1 is desorbing carbon dioxide, the first adsorption tower 5.1 is adsorbing carbon dioxide from the flue gas.
[0051] Among them, the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 adsorb carbon dioxide at a temperature of 60°C to 70°C, and the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 desorb carbon dioxide at a temperature of 110°C to 120°C. This embodiment uses the closed-loop cooling water of the gas-steam combined cycle unit as a cold source for carbon dioxide adsorption, and uses the hot water of the photothermal unit as a heat source for carbon dioxide desorption, which can improve the step-by-step utilization of the energy of the gas-steam combined cycle unit and the photothermal unit without the need to additionally set up a cold source and a heat source, thereby improving energy utilization.
[0052] Optionally, by connecting the first air inlet and the second air inlet to the exhaust gas P3 at the exhaust heat boiler outlet, the carbon dioxide in the exhaust heat boiler outlet exhaust gas P3 can be treated to avoid carbon dioxide being discharged into the atmosphere and increasing the pace of global warming, thereby ensuring the environmental friendliness of the entire system.
[0053] In a feasible embodiment, a fifth flue gas damper 4.5 is provided between the first air inlet and the flue gas P3 at the waste heat boiler outlet, a sixth flue gas damper 4.6 is provided between the second air inlet and the flue gas P3 at the waste heat boiler outlet, a fourth flue gas damper 4.4 is provided between the first air outlet and the unit exhaust flue P5, a second flue gas damper 4.2 is provided between the second air outlet and the unit exhaust flue P5, a third flue gas damper 4.3 is provided between the first air outlet and the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit, and a first flue gas damper 4.1 is provided between the second air outlet and the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit;
[0054] Among them, the smoke damper is configured to control the flow of gas.
[0055] It can be understood that by setting the flue gas damper, it is controlled whether the flue gas enters the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2, and whether the flue gas is discharged from the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 to the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit, and whether the flue gas is discharged from the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 to the unit exhaust duct P5.
[0056] Specifically, when the first adsorption tower 5.1 is adsorbing carbon dioxide, the fifth flue gas damper 4.5 and the fourth flue gas damper 4.4 are opened. At this time, the second adsorption tower 5.2 is desorbing carbon dioxide, the first flue gas damper 4.1 is opened, and the other flue gas dampers are closed; similarly, when the second adsorption tower 5.2 is adsorbing carbon dioxide, the sixth flue gas damper 4.6 and the second flue gas damper 4.2 are opened. At this time, the first adsorption tower 5.1 is desorbing carbon dioxide, the third flue gas damper 4.3 is opened, and the other flue gas dampers are closed.
[0057] In a feasible implementation manner, the gas-steam combined cycle unit comprises a cooling water intake port P10 and a cooling water return port P9, the cooling water intake port P10 is respectively connected to the first liquid inlet and the second liquid inlet, and the cooling water return port P9 is respectively connected to the first liquid outlet and the second liquid outlet;
[0058] A first plate heat exchanger 12.1 is provided at the cooling water intake port P10 and the cooling water return port P9, and a first booster pump 11.1 is also provided on the pipeline of the cooling water intake port.
[0059] The temperature in the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 is lowered by the cooling circulating water of the gas-steam combined cycle unit, so that the temperature in the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 reaches 60°C to 70°C, which facilitates the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 to adsorb carbon dioxide in the flue gas and fully absorb the carbon dioxide in the flue gas P3 at the outlet of the waste heat boiler.
[0060] In a feasible embodiment, a sixth regulating valve 10.6 is provided between the first booster pump 11.1 and the first liquid inlet, a fifth regulating valve 10.5 is provided between the first booster pump 11.1 and the second liquid inlet, a third regulating valve 10.3 is provided between the first liquid outlet and the first plate heat exchanger 12.1, and a fourth regulating valve 10.4 is provided between the second liquid outlet and the first plate heat exchanger 12.1.
[0061] The first booster pump 11.1 is provided to facilitate water from the cooling water inlet P10 to enter the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2, that is, the cold water from the cooling water inlet P10 is transported to the first adsorption tower 5.1 through the sixth regulating valve 10.6, or the cold water is transported to the second adsorption tower 5.2 through the fifth regulating valve 10.5. After the cold water passes through the first adsorption tower 5.1 or the second adsorption tower 5.2, it is heated up, returns to the first plate heat exchanger 12.1 for cooling, and then returns to the gas-steam combined cycle unit through the cooling water return port P9.
[0062] It can be understood that, since the adsorption and desorption of carbon dioxide by the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 are performed alternately, the third regulating valve 10.3 and the sixth regulating valve 10.6 are opened at the same time, and the fifth regulating valve 10.5 and the fourth regulating valve 10.4 are closed; similarly, when the fifth regulating valve 10.5 and the fourth regulating valve 10.4 are opened, the third regulating valve 10.3 and the sixth regulating valve 10.6 are closed.
[0063] In a feasible embodiment, the photothermal unit includes a high-temperature water outlet P7 and a high-temperature water return port P8, the high-temperature water outlet P7 is respectively connected to the first liquid inlet and the second liquid inlet, and the high-temperature water return port P8 is respectively connected to the first liquid outlet and the second liquid outlet;
[0064] A second plate heat exchanger 12.2 is provided at the high-temperature water outlet P7 and the high-temperature water return port P8, and a second booster pump 11.2 is provided on the pipeline of the high-temperature water outlet P7.
[0065] The temperature in the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 is increased by the hot water of the photothermal unit, so that the temperature in the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 reaches 110°C to 120°C, which facilitates the desorption of carbon dioxide in the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 and achieves sufficient desorption of carbon dioxide.
[0066] In a feasible embodiment, an eighth regulating valve 10.8 is provided between the second booster pump 11.2 and the first liquid inlet, a seventh regulating valve 10.7 is provided between the second booster pump 11.2 and the second liquid inlet, a second regulating valve is provided between the first liquid outlet and the second plate heat exchanger 12.2, and a first regulating valve 10.1 is provided between the second liquid outlet and the second plate heat exchanger 12.2.
[0067] Among them, the setting of the second booster pump 11.2 facilitates the hot water at the high-temperature water outlet P7 to enter the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2, that is, the hot water at the high-temperature water outlet P7 is transported to the first adsorption tower 5.1 through the eighth regulating valve 10.8, or the hot water is transported to the second adsorption tower 5.2 through the seventh regulating valve 10.7. After the hot water passes through the first adsorption tower 5.1 or the second adsorption tower 5.2, it is cooled down and returns to the second plate heat exchanger 12.2 to heat up and then returns to the photothermal unit through the high-temperature water outlet P7.
[0068] It can be understood that since the adsorption and desorption of carbon dioxide by the first adsorption tower 5.1 and the second adsorption tower 5.2 are performed alternately, the seventh regulating valve and the first regulating valve 10.1 are opened at the same time, and the seventh regulating valve 10.7 and the second regulating valve are closed; similarly, when the seventh regulating valve 10.7 and the second regulating valve are opened, the eighth regulating valve 10.8 and the first regulating valve 10.1 are closed.
[0069] Specifically, the working principle of the carbon capture unit is described in detail herein, as described below.
[0070] When the first adsorption tower 5.1 is adsorbing carbon dioxide, the fifth flue gas damper 4.5 and the fourth flue gas damper 4.4 are in the open state, and the third flue gas damper 4.3 is in the closed state. The residual gas after adsorption by the first adsorption tower 5.1 is discharged into the unit exhaust flue P5 through the fourth flue gas damper 4.4. At this time, the eighth regulating valve 10.8 and the first regulating valve 10.1 are closed, the sixth regulating valve 10.6 and the third regulating valve 10.3 are opened, and the closed-circulation cooling water of the gas-steam combined cycle unit is used to cool the environment in the first adsorption tower 5.1 to reach the temperature for adsorbing carbon dioxide. (60℃ to 70℃) requirement; at this time, the second adsorption tower 5.2 desorbs carbon dioxide, the sixth flue gas damper 4.6 and the second flue gas damper 4.2 are closed, and the first flue gas damper 4.1 is opened, and the carbon dioxide desorbed by the second desorption tower is transported to the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit for subsequent treatment. At this time, the first regulating valve 10.1 and the second regulating valve are opened, the fifth regulating valve 10.5 and the fourth regulating valve 10.4 are closed, and the hot water of the photothermal unit is used to heat the environment in the second adsorption tower 5.2 so as to meet the temperature requirement (110℃ to 120℃) for desorption of carbon dioxide.
[0071] When the first adsorption tower 5.1 is desorbing carbon dioxide, the fourth flue gas damper 4.4 and the fifth flue gas damper 4.5 are closed, and the third flue gas damper 4.3 is opened, and the carbon dioxide desorbed by the first desorption tower is transported to the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit for subsequent treatment. At this time, the first regulating valve 10.1 and the eighth regulating valve 10.8 are opened, and the third regulating valve 10.3 and the sixth regulating valve 10.6 are closed, and the hot water of the photothermal unit is used to heat the environment in the first adsorption tower 5.1 to meet the temperature requirement (110°C to 120°C) for desorption of carbon dioxide; at this time, the second adsorption tower 5 .2 for the adsorption of carbon dioxide, the sixth flue gas damper 4.6 and the second flue gas damper 4.2 are in the open state, the first flue gas damper 4.1 is in the closed state, and the residual gas after adsorption by the second adsorption tower 5.2 is discharged into the unit exhaust flue P5 through the second flue gas damper 4.2.

[0072] It should be noted that by setting up two adsorption towers and alternately adsorbing and desorbing carbon dioxide, the working efficiency of the system can be improved without stopping the system to wait for the adsorption and desorption process, thereby improving the working efficiency of the system and the efficiency of treating carbon dioxide.

[0080] It should be noted that the carbon dioxide adsorbed by the first adsorption tower 5.1 or the second adsorption tower 5.2 enters the first compressor 2.1 after desorption, first increases the pressure of the carbon dioxide and then enters the first heat exchanger 3.1, and at the same time enters the first heat exchanger 3.1 with the outlet gas of the second heat exchanger 3.2 and the gaseous substance discharged by the gas-liquid separator 7, and exchanges heat with the carbon dioxide for cooling. The cooled carbon dioxide enters the second compressor 2.2 from the first heat exchanger 3.1 for further compression. After the carbon dioxide is compressed and pressurized by the second compressor 2.2, it enters the second heat exchanger 3.2 for further cooling and then enters the gas-liquid separator 7 for gas-liquid separation. The gaseous substance (i.e., impurity gas) obtained by the gas-liquid separator 7 enters the first heat exchanger 3.1 to recover excess cold energy and then is discharged into the unit exhaust flue P5. The liquid carbon dioxide obtained by the gas-liquid separator 7 flows to the liquid storage tank 8 for storage.
[0081] It is understandable that converting gaseous carbon dioxide into liquid carbon dioxide can, on the one hand, prevent gaseous carbon dioxide from being discharged into the air and causing pollution to the atmosphere; on the other hand, liquid carbon dioxide is easy to store and can also provide raw materials for the preparation of dry ice, avoiding the storage of liquid carbon dioxide taking up too much space.
[0082] Among them, the cold energy of the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit comes from the cold energy generated by the LNG gasification process. The liquefied natural gas at the LNG outlet P6 is respectively passed into the first flow valve and the second flow valve through the parallel pipeline. The liquefied natural gas enters the second heat exchanger 3.2 through the second flow valve to be heated and vaporized. The heated liquefied natural gas is mixed with the liquefied natural gas passing through the first flow valve and then passed into the first heat exchanger 3.1 after temperature adjustment. After heat exchange and temperature increase in the first heat exchanger 3.1, the liquefied natural gas enters the combustion chamber P4 of the gas turbine. After entering the combustion chamber of the gas turbine for combustion, the liquefied natural gas drives the steam turbine to work. Such a setting can provide cold energy for the first heat exchanger 3.1 and the second heat exchanger 3.2, and can realize the step-by-step utilization of energy in LNG gasification.
[0083] In a feasible embodiment, the liquefaction and dry ice preparation unit further includes:
[0084] A dry ice machine 14 is connected to the outlet of the liquid storage tank 8, and a liquid carbon dioxide regulating valve 16 is provided between the dry ice machine 14 and the liquid storage tank 8;
[0085] The gas storage tank 15 has an inlet connected to the gaseous carbon dioxide outlet of the dry ice machine 14, and an outlet connected to the first inlet of the first compressor 2.1. A gaseous carbon dioxide regulating valve 17 is provided between the gas storage tank 15 and the first compressor 2.1.
[0086] Optionally, when dry ice preparation is required, the liquid carbon dioxide regulating valve 16 is opened, and the liquid carbon dioxide in the liquid storage tank 8 is passed into the dry ice machine 14 for preparation of dry ice. The gaseous carbon dioxide generated by evaporation during the preparation process is passed into the gas storage tank 15. When the carbon dioxide in the gas storage tank 15 reaches a certain amount, it passes through the gaseous carbon dioxide regulating valve 17 and re-enters the first compressor 2.1 for compression. The subsequent process is as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0087] It should be noted that by connecting with the dry ice machine 14, the rational use of liquid carbon dioxide can be achieved. On the one hand, it can avoid too much liquid carbon dioxide occupying too much storage space. On the other hand, it can also achieve rational utilization of carbon dioxide, avoid carbon dioxide being released into the air to cause pollution, and improve the environmental friendliness of the system.

[0089] Small steam turbine 1, the inlet of small steam turbine 1 is connected with the outlet steam P1 of waste heat boiler, the first outlet of small steam turbine 1 is connected with condenser P2, small steam turbine 1 is connected with the crankshaft connecting rod of first compressor 2.1 and second compressor 2.2 respectively through shaft chain, small steam turbine 1 provides rotational kinetic energy for first compressor 2.1 and second compressor 2.2.
[0090] It should be noted that the steam P1 at the outlet of the waste heat boiler is high-pressure steam, and the small steam turbine 1 returns to the condenser P2 after doing work. This is a normal process of thermal power companies and will not be mentioned here.
