Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of gas purification and natural gas preparation, and in particular to a device for preparing liquefied natural gas from semi-coke tail gas. Background Art
[0002] Semi-coke tail gas is a gas produced during the production of semi-coke. Its main components include nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Compared with coke oven gas, semi-coke tail gas contains more carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, but less hydrogen. Too low a hydrogen-carbon ratio is not conducive to methane synthesis. It is necessary to remove excess carbon dioxide from semi-coke tail gas to meet the hydrogen-carbon ratio required for methane synthesis.
[0003] Patent CN108034464A discloses a method for producing liquefied natural gas from semi-coke tail gas, which removes coke, benzene and naphthalene from the semi-coke tail gas, and then sends it to a low-temperature methanol washing unit for purification and desulfurization. The desulfurized semi-coke tail gas is mixed with methane-rich gas and sent to a methanation unit for methanation to obtain a crude methane product gas, which is then sent to a low-temperature methanol washing unit for purification and decarbonization, and finally nitrogen is removed by deep cold separation to obtain liquefied natural gas. The low-temperature methanol washing process used in this patented technology has a large demand for low-temperature cold sources, and the selective absorption rate of methanol as a physical absorbent for carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide is not high, and part of the methane in the raw gas will also be absorbed. The above means high energy consumption and more equipment, which will eventually lead to high investment and operating costs.
[0004] Patent CN 108977243A discloses a process for preparing liquefied natural gas from semi-coke tail gas, in which the semi-coke tail gas after buffering in the gas tank is subjected to wet desulfurization, water washing purification, gas pressurization, and methanation treatment to convert CO and CO2 in the semi-coke tail gas into CH4, and then the synthesis gas after methanation is subjected to decarbonization and deep cold liquefaction to liquefy CH4 into liquefied natural gas. The patent uses water washing to remove most of the benzene, naphthalene, and tar in the semi-coke tail gas, but the solubility of benzene and naphthalene in water is extremely low, and it is unrealistic to remove them to the index specified in the patent, and the treatment of water that absorbs benzene, naphthalene, and tar is also a considerable problem.

A part of the semi-coke tail gas is mixed with the circulating gas and water to undergo a methanation reaction in the primary reactor. The outlet temperature is controlled at 540±10°C. After the waste heat is recovered, the outlet gas is mixed with another part of the semi-coke tail gas and enters the secondary reactor for a methanation reaction. The outlet temperature is controlled at 470±10°C. The outlet gas is divided into two parts after the waste heat is recovered. One part is sent to the primary reactor as the circulating gas through the compressor for pressurization, and the other part enters the tertiary reactor for a methanation reaction. The outlet gas becomes synthesis gas after cooling and liquid separation.

A part of the nitrogen-rich tail gas from the liquefaction unit is introduced into this unit as the regeneration gas of the molecular sieve. The regenerated tail gas after the molecular sieve regeneration is the nitrogen-rich tail gas discharged from the unit through the regeneration tail gas pipeline of the dehydration unit. The heating heat source of the regeneration gas is the steam produced by the methane synthesis unit.

The liquefaction unit adopts a cryogenic distillation process with precooling, including a precooler, a cold box, a refrigerant compressor and a nitrogen compressor. The synthesis gas is first precooled to 12±2℃ by the precooler, and then enters the cold box to complete cryogenic distillation. The synthesis gas entering the cold box is initially cooled to -95℃~-105℃ by the main heat exchanger in the cold box and then extracted. After passing through the tower kettle evaporator of the denitrification tower as a heat source, it returns to the main heat exchanger and continues to cool to -145℃~-150℃, and then passes through the pressure reducing valve After being reduced in pressure to 0.6±0.1MPa, it enters the denitrification tower, where the nitrogen and hydrogen components flow out from the top of the tower in the form of gas as nitrogen-rich tail gas, and the remaining methane flows out from the bottom of the tower in the form of liquid as liquefied natural gas. The nitrogen-rich tail gas is reheated by the main heat exchanger and then leaves the unit. The reheated nitrogen-rich tail gas is divided into two parts, one part is sent to the dehydration unit as regenerated gas and then discharged, and the other part is directly discharged. The nitrogen content of the liquefied natural gas flowing out of the bottom of the denitrification tower is not higher than 1%. It is supercooled to -162±5℃ by the main heat exchanger and then sent to the cold box. After throttling, it is output from the liquefaction unit as a liquefied natural gas product.
[0043] Preferably, the pre-purification device uses no less than 4 adsorption towers, using adsorbents to physically adsorb impurities such as tar, benzene, naphthalene, etc. contained in the lignite tail gas, and a portion of the steam by-product of the methane synthesis unit is used for thermal regeneration of the adsorbent.
[0044] Preferably, the deacidification device adopts a two-stage absorption process of MDEA (methyldiethanolamine), using MDEA solution to absorb and remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the semi-coke tail gas. The heat required for the regeneration of the MDEA solution is provided by the steam produced by the methane synthesis unit.
[0045] Advantages of this application:
[0046] The device for preparing liquefied natural gas from lignite tail gas of the present application is relatively simple, low-cost, low-energy consumption, and the product has a high methane content, thus avoiding the problems of both high investment and operating costs in the prior art.

[0059] The nitrogen-rich tail gas pipeline S14 of the liquefaction device is divided into two branches. The first branch S16 of the nitrogen-rich tail gas pipeline of the liquefaction device is connected to the dehydration device, and the second branch S15 of the nitrogen-rich tail gas pipeline of the liquefaction device is a direct discharge pipeline.
[0060] The pre-purification device B2 includes a detarring tower and a debenzene and denaphthalene tower connected in series, which may be an existing detarring tower and a debenzene and denaphthalene tower, and is operated according to existing process conditions.
[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the deacidification unit B4 adopts a two-stage absorption process of MDEA (methyldiethanolamine), including an amine absorption tower A01, a first cooler A02, a first gas-liquid separator A03, a first pressure reducing valve A04, a flash tank A05, a first heat exchanger A06, a second heat exchanger A07, an amine regeneration tower A08, a first reboiler A09, a second cooler A10, a second gas-liquid separator A11, a reflux pump A12, a third cooler A13, a semi-lean liquid pump A14, a fourth cooler A15 and a lean liquid pump A16.
[0062] The feed of the deacidification device is the semi-coke gas pressurized by the compression device, which enters from the bottom gas inlet of the amine absorber A01 through the semi-coke gas feed pipe 401, the lean liquid (lean MDEA solution) enters from the top liquid inlet of the amine absorber A01 through the lean liquid feed pipe 422, and the semi-lean liquid (semi-lean MDEA solution) enters from the middle liquid inlet of the amine absorber A01 through the semi-lean liquid feed pipe 421. After the lean liquid, semi-lean liquid and the gas entering the bottom are fully contacted in the tower for heat and mass transfer, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are absorbed by the amine liquid. The amine liquid that absorbs carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide is discharged from the bottom liquid outlet of the amine absorber A01 through the amine liquid discharge pipe 404. The deacidified gas (gas with carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide removed) is discharged from the top gas outlet of the amine absorber A01 through the top outlet pipe 402.
[0063] After the deacidified gas is cooled to 40±5°C, for example, about 40°C, by the first cooler A02, it enters the first gas-liquid separator A03 to separate the condensed free water, and the remaining gas is output from the deacidification device through the outlet pipe 403 at the top of the first gas-liquid separator. The carbon dioxide content in the output gas is not higher than 50ppm, and the hydrogen sulfide content is not higher than 0.1ppm.

After the heat exchange, the two branches merge into the amine regeneration tower feed pipe 408 and enter the top of the amine regeneration tower A08.
[0066] The rich amine liquid enters the amine regeneration tower A08 through the amine regeneration tower feed pipe 408 and flows downward, and contacts with the stripping steam from bottom to top in countercurrent for heat and mass transfer. The carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the rich amine solution are resolved from the rich amine solution and discharged from the top gas outlet of the amine regeneration tower A08. The top gas is cooled to 40±5°C, for example, about 40°C, through the second cooler A10 (CO2 cooler) from the top outlet pipe 409 of the amine regeneration tower, and then enters the second gas-liquid separator A11.

The steam produced by the synthesis unit is introduced into the first reboiler A09 through the steam pipeline 415 to provide the heat required for the regeneration of the amine liquid.

[0069] The rich amine liquid from which carbon dioxide is partially removed is referred to as semi-lean liquid. The semi-lean liquid is discharged from the middle liquid outlet of the amine regeneration tower A08 through the semi-lean liquid outlet pipe 414, and after heat exchange with the rich amine liquid from the second branch pipe 407 of the flash tank outlet pipe through the second heat exchanger A07, it is cooled to 40±5°C, for example, about 40°C, through the third cooler A13, and is sent to the middle of the amine absorption tower A01 through the semi-lean liquid pump A14.

[0071] The deacidified gas output by the deacidification unit is the feed of the methane synthesis unit. After being preheated by the third heat exchanger Y01 from the deacidified gas feed pipeline 501, it is divided into two parts. One part is mixed with the circulating gas from the circulating gas pipeline 521 and the circulating liquid from the circulating liquid pipeline 524 through the first branch pipe 502 of the deacidified gas and then enters the heat exchanger Y02 to be heated to 280±10℃, for example, about 280℃. The heated gas flow enters the primary reactor Y03 through the primary reactor feed pipe 504, and a methanogenic reaction occurs in the reactor.

[0072] Methane synthesis reaction equation:
[0073] CO+3H2=CH4+H2O
[0074] CO2+4H2=CH4+2H2O.
[0075] The outlet gas flow of the first reactor Y03 enters the first waste boiler Y04 through the first reactor outlet pipe 505 to recover heat. The gas flow after heat recovery enters the heat exchanger Y02 through the circulation pipe 506 to exchange heat with the aforementioned feed. The gas flow after heat exchange passes through the first reactor product pipe 507 and is mixed with another part of the preheated feed from the second branch pipe 503 of the deacidified gas. The mixing temperature is about 280±10°C, for example, about 280°C. The gas flows into the second reactor Y05 to continue the methanation reaction in the reactor.
[0076] The gas flow at the outlet of the secondary reactor enters the secondary waste boiler Y06 through the secondary reactor outlet pipe 508 for heat exchange and heat recovery. The gas flow after heat recovery enters the fifth heat exchanger Y07 through the secondary waste boiler and the fifth heat exchanger connecting pipe 509 for heat exchange with the gas flow from the first branch pipe 513 of the gas phase outlet of the fourth gas-liquid separator. The gas flow after heat exchange enters the third heat exchanger Y01 through the fifth heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger connecting pipe 510 for heat exchange with the gas flow of the deacidified gas feed pipe 501. The gas flow after heat exchange enters the seventh heat exchanger Y12 through the third heat exchanger and the seventh heat exchanger connecting pipe 511 for heat exchange with the gas flow of the compressor outlet pipe 520. The gas flow temperature after heat exchange is about 110±10℃ and enters the fourth gas-liquid separator Y13 through the fourth gas-liquid separator inlet pipe 512.
[0077] The outlet gas flow of the fourth gas-liquid separator is divided into two parts, one of which flows through the second branch pipe 514 of the gas phase outlet of the fourth gas-liquid separator as circulating gas to enter the compressor Y14 for pressurization, and the pressurized circulating gas enters the seventh heat exchanger Y12 through the compressor outlet pipe 520 to exchange heat with the gas flow (discharge product of the secondary reactor) from the connecting pipe 511 between the third heat exchanger and the seventh heat exchanger, and the gas flow after heat exchange is mixed with the circulating liquid from the circulating liquid pipe 524 and the main gas flow of the first branch pipe 502 of the deacidified gas through the circulating gas pipe 521 and then enters the primary reactor Y03. The other part of the gas flow enters the fifth heat exchanger Y07 through the first branch pipe 513 of the gas phase outlet of the fourth gas-liquid separator to exchange heat with the gas flow from the connecting pipe 509 between the secondary waste boiler and the fifth heat exchanger for preheating, and the gas flow 515 preheated to 270±10℃ (e.g., about 270℃) enters the tertiary reactor Y08, and continues to undergo methanation reaction in the reactor.
[0078] The outlet gas flow of the tertiary reactor Y08 enters the sixth heat exchanger Y09 through the tertiary reactor outlet pipe 516 to exchange heat with the deoxygenated water input into the device through the deoxygenated water pipe 525. The gas flow after heat exchange enters the fifth cooler Y10 through the sixth heat exchanger and the fifth cooler connecting pipe 517 to be cooled to 40±5°C, for example, about 40°C. The cooled gas enters the third gas-liquid separator Y11 through the third gas-liquid separator feed pipe 518 to complete gas-liquid separation. The separated gas is discharged from the third gas-liquid separator gas phase outlet pipe 519 as the output product gas of the methane synthesis unit (referred to as synthesis gas); the separated liquid is combined with the liquid from the fourth gas-liquid separator Y13 liquid outlet pipe 523 through the third gas-liquid separator liquid phase outlet pipe 522 to form a circulating liquid, which is pressurized by pump Y15. The pressurized circulating liquid is mixed with the circulating gas from the circulating gas pipe 521 and the main gas flow of the first branch pipe 502 of the deacidified gas through the circulating liquid pipe 524.
[0079] The methane synthesis reaction is an exothermic reaction, and the heat released by the reaction is used to generate steam. The deoxygenated water input into the device is preheated by the sixth heat exchanger Y09, and then injected into the reaction heat through the first-level waste boiler Y04 and the second-level waste boiler Y06 to become steam, and then output from the device through the steam pipeline 526.
[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, the deamine device adopts a water washing process, including a water washing tower M01, preferably a plate tower. The synthesis gas output by the methane synthesis device enters the lower part of the water washing tower M01 through the water washing tower feed pipe 601, and contacts the desalted water entering from the upper part of the water washing tower M01 through the desalted water pipeline 602 in reverse, and the trace ammonia remaining in the synthesis gas is absorbed by water. The deammonified synthesis gas is discharged from the top of the water washing tower M01 through the water washing tower top outlet pipeline 603, and the absorbed ammonia aqueous solution is discharged from the bottom of the water washing tower M01 through the water washing tower bottom outlet pipeline 604.

In one embodiment, it includes a heater D02, a sixth cooler D03, a fifth gas-liquid separator D04, a dehydration tower assembly D01 consisting of three dehydration towers (the first dehydration tower T1, the second dehydration tower T2, and the third dehydration tower T3) and a programmable valve. The gas flow from the dehydration device input pipeline 701 is the synthesis gas output by the deammoniation device. The dehydration tower is filled with molecular sieves to adsorb water in the synthesis gas, so that the water content in the dry gas flow of the device output pipeline 703 is not higher than 1ppm. The molecular sieve that has completed adsorption needs to be regenerated using low-pressure regeneration gas. The low-pressure regeneration gas of the low-pressure regeneration gas pipeline 702 comes from the nitrogen-rich tail gas discharged from the liquefaction device. The regeneration gas flow rate is about 20±5% of the synthesis gas flow rate entering the device. The regeneration gas is first dehydrated by a dehydration tower. The regeneration gas after the dehydration tower (dehydration regeneration gas output pipeline 704) is heated to about 240±10°C by a heater D02. The hot regeneration gas enters the dehydration tower through a hot regeneration gas input pipeline 705 to regenerate the molecular sieve. The regeneration gas out of the dehydration tower enters the sixth cooler D03 through the regeneration gas output pipeline 706 and is cooled to about 40±5°C, for example, about 40°C. The cooled gas enters the fifth gas-liquid separator D04 through the fifth gas-liquid separator inlet pipeline 707 to separate the condensed water, and the tail gas is discharged from the dehydration device through the tail gas exhaust pipe 708.
[0082] The regeneration gas heater D02 uses steam to heat the regeneration gas, and the steam input through the steam pipeline 710 is produced from the methane synthesis unit.
[0083] like Figure 6As shown, the liquefaction device includes a raw gas precooler L01, a cold box L02, a main heat exchanger L03, a second reboiler L04, a second pressure reducing valve L05, a denitrogenation tower L06, a condenser L07, a sixth gas-liquid separator L08, a first throttle valve L09, a mixed refrigerant compressor L21, a mixed refrigerant precooler L22, a seventh gas-liquid separator L23, a second throttle valve L24, a third throttle valve L25, a nitrogen compressor L31 and a nitrogen precooler L32.
[0084] The dry synthesis gas output from the dehydration device discharge pipe 801 is cooled to 12±3°C by the raw gas precooler L01. The cooled synthesis gas enters the first heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger L03 in the cold box L02 through the synthesis gas feed pipe 802 for initial cooling, and leaves the main heat exchanger after initial cooling to -95°C~-105°C. The synthesis gas leaving the main heat exchanger L03 enters the reboiler L04 for heating through the outlet of the first heat exchange channel and the reboiler connecting pipe 803. The synthesis gas after heating enters the second heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger L03 through the reboiler and the second heat exchange channel connecting pipe 804 and is cooled to -145 to -150°C. The synthesis gas leaving the main heat exchanger enters the denitrification tower L06 after being reduced in pressure to 0.53±0.05MPa through the second pressure reducing valve L05 through the outlet of the second heat exchange channel and the denitrification tower connecting pipe 805.
[0085] The denitrification tower L06 purifies the methane in the feed by distillation. The denitrification tower reboiler L04 is provided with heat by the aforementioned logistics from the outlet of the first heat exchange channel and the reboiler connecting pipe 803. The nitrogen in the feed is discharged from the top of the tower. The outlet gas of the tower top outlet pipe 809 is cooled to -176±5°C by the condenser L07, and then enters the sixth gas-liquid separator L08 through the condenser cold channel outlet pipe 810. The separated gas phase returns to the third heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger L03 through the sixth gas-liquid separator gas phase outlet pipe 812. After reheating, it is discharged from the cold box from the hot end of the third heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger, and discharged from the liquefaction device as nitrogen-rich tail gas through the nitrogen-rich tail gas pipe 813. The liquid phase discharged from the liquid outlet of the sixth gas-liquid separator L08 flows back into the denitrification tower L06 through the sixth gas-liquid separator liquid phase outlet pipe 811. The bottom liquid of the denitrification tower L06 (the bottom liquid outlet pipeline 806 of the denitrification tower) is cooled to -163±10°C, preferably -163±5°C, through the fourth heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger L03. This liquid leaves the main heat exchanger through the fourth heat exchange channel outlet pipeline 807, and after throttling by the first throttle valve L09, it is output to the liquefaction device as a liquefied natural gas product (through the liquefied natural gas product pipeline 808).
[0086] The reboiler heat required for the distillation of the denitrogenation tower L06 comes from the initially cooled synthesis gas (from the pipe 803 connecting the outlet of the first heat exchange channel and the reboiler), and the required condensing cooling capacity comes from liquid nitrogen.
[0087] The mixed refrigerant cycle is used to provide the cooling capacity required for liquefaction. The mixed refrigerant is composed of nitrogen, methane, ethylene, propane and isopentane. The low-pressure mixed refrigerant comes from (the low-pressure mixed refrigerant outlet pipe 821 of the main heat exchanger L03) and is pressurized by the mixed refrigerant compressor L21. The pressurized high-pressure mixed refrigerant enters the mixed refrigerant precooler L22 through the mixed refrigerant compressor outlet pipe 822 to cool to about 12±5℃, and then enters the seventh gas-liquid separator L23 through the seventh gas-liquid separator inlet pipe 823. The separated gas phase mixed refrigerant enters the inlet of the fifth heat exchange channel of the cold box L02 through the seventh gas-liquid separator gas phase outlet pipe 826, and is cooled to -163±10℃ by the main heat exchanger. After leaving the refrigeration heat exchanger, The liquid mixed refrigerant separated by the seventh gas-liquid separator L23 enters the cold box L02 through the seventh heat exchange channel 824 of the main heat exchanger, is cooled to -40±5℃ by the main heat exchanger, leaves the main heat exchanger through the seventh heat exchange channel outlet pipe 825, and then is throttled, depressurized and cooled by the second throttle valve L24, returns to the sixth heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger, merges with the aforementioned reflux low-pressure mixed refrigerant to transfer cold, and is finally discharged from the hot end of the main heat exchanger L03 to become the low-pressure mixed refrigerant outlet pipe 821, and re-enters the mixed refrigerant compressor L21.
[0088] The low-pressure nitrogen from the outlet pipe 831 of the eighth heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger is pressurized by the nitrogen compressor L31, and the pressurized high-pressure nitrogen enters the nitrogen precooler L32 through the nitrogen compressor outlet pipe 832 and is precooled to 12±5°C. The precooled high-pressure nitrogen enters the ninth heat exchange channel of the cold box L02 through the nitrogen precooler outlet pipe 833, is cooled to -174±10°C through the main heat exchanger L03 to become high-pressure liquid nitrogen and leaves the main heat exchanger. The high-pressure liquid nitrogen leaving the main heat exchanger passes through the outlet pipe 834 of the ninth heat exchange channel and is reduced in pressure and temperature by the throttle valve L33 to become low-pressure liquid nitrogen, becomes low-pressure nitrogen after the condenser L07 provides cooling capacity, returns to the eighth heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger L03 through the condenser hot channel outlet pipe 835, and is discharged from its hot end (the outlet pipe 831 of the eighth heat exchange channel of the main heat exchanger), and re-enters the nitrogen compressor L31 as low-pressure nitrogen.

[0091] The semi-coke tail gas is first pressurized to 0.75MPa through the semi-coke tail gas feed pipe S01 through the first compression device B1. The compressor is a screw compressor. The pressurized semi-coke tail gas enters the pre-purification device B2 through the pre-purification device feed pipe S02 for detarring, debenzening and denaphthalening. The pre-purification unit uses no less than 4 adsorption towers, and uses adsorbents to physically adsorb tar, benzene, naphthalene and other impurities contained in the semi-coke tail gas, and finally reduces the tar and naphthalene content in the semi-coke tail gas to no more than 1mg / Nm 3 , benzene content is not higher than 20mg / Nm 3 A portion of the steam produced as a byproduct of the methane synthesis unit B5 is used for thermal regeneration of the adsorbent through the first branch S11 of the methane synthesis unit steam outlet pipeline.
[0092] The pre-purified blue coke tail gas is further pressurized to 2.1 MPa through the second compression device feed pipe S03 and the second compression device B3, and the compressor is a centrifugal compressor. The further pressurized blue coke tail gas is transported to the deacidification device B4 through the deacidification device feed pipe S04.
[0093] The deacidification device B4 adopts the MDEA (methyldiethanolamine) two-stage absorption process, using MDEA solution to absorb and remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the semi-coke tail gas. The carbon dioxide content in the semi-coke tail gas after treatment by the deacidification device is not higher than 50ppm, and the hydrogen sulfide is not higher than 0.1ppm. The heat required for the regeneration of the MDEA solution is provided by the steam produced by the methane synthesis device B5 (through the second branch S12 of the steam outlet pipeline of the methane synthesis device).
[0094] The deacidified semi-coke tail gas is sent to the methane synthesis unit B5 through the methane synthesis unit feed pipe S05 for methane synthesis reaction. The methane synthesis unit consists of three reactors in series, and the reaction heat is recovered to produce steam. A part of the semi-coke tail gas is mixed with the circulating gas and water to undergo a methanogenic reaction in the primary reactor. The outlet temperature is controlled at 540°C. After the outlet gas is recovered by waste heat, it is mixed with another part of the semi-coke tail gas and enters the secondary reactor for a methanogenic reaction. The outlet temperature is controlled at 470°C. After the waste heat is recovered, the outlet gas is divided into two parts. One part is sent to the primary reactor as circulating gas through a compressor for boosting, and the other part enters the tertiary reactor for a methanogenic reaction. The outlet gas becomes synthesis gas after cooling and liquid separation. The reaction heat in the methane synthesis unit is recovered by the waste heat recovery system and used to produce 2.5MPa steam as a by-product. Part of the steam is sent to the pre-purification unit through the first branch S11 of the steam outlet pipe of the methane synthesis unit to be used as the adsorbent regeneration heat source therein, part of it is sent to the deacidification unit through the second branch S12 of the steam outlet pipe of the methane synthesis unit to be used as the regeneration heat source of the MDEA solution therein, and part of it is sent to the dehydration unit through the third branch S13 of the steam outlet pipe of the methane synthesis unit to be used as the regeneration heat source of the molecular sieve therein.
[0095] The synthesis gas produced by the methane synthesis unit is sent to the deamination unit B6 through the deamination unit feed pipe S06 to remove trace ammonia in the synthesis gas. The deamination unit adopts a water washing process, and the ammonia content in the final output gas flow is not higher than 1ppm.
[0096] The synthesis gas after deammoniation by the deamination unit is sent to the dehydration unit B7 through the dehydration unit feed pipe S07 for drying. The dehydration unit adopts the molecular sieve pressure and temperature swing adsorption (PTSA) process. The synthesis gas is continuously dried by the periodic adsorption of three dehydration towers, and the water content in the output gas flow is finally reduced to no more than 1ppm. A part of the nitrogen-rich tail gas from the liquefaction unit is introduced into this unit through the first branch S16 of the nitrogen-rich tail gas pipeline of the liquefaction unit as the regeneration gas of the molecular sieve. The regenerated tail gas (nitrogen-rich tail gas) after the molecular sieve regeneration is discharged from the unit through the dehydration unit regeneration tail gas pipeline S17. The heating heat source of the regenerated gas is the steam produced by the methane synthesis unit.
[0097] The dehydrated and dried synthesis gas is sent to the liquefaction unit B8 through the liquefaction unit feed pipe S08 for deep cold separation to produce liquefied natural gas that meets the index. The liquefaction unit adopts a cryogenic distillation process with precooling, which is composed of components such as a precooler, a cold box, a refrigerant compressor and a nitrogen compressor. The synthesis gas is first precooled to 12°C by the precooler, and then enters the cold box to complete cryogenic distillation. The synthesis gas entering the cold box is initially cooled to -95°C~-105°C by the main heat exchanger (plate-fin heat exchanger) in the cold box and then extracted. After passing through the tower kettle evaporator of the denitrification tower as a heat source, it returns to the main heat exchanger to continue cooling to -145°C~-150°C, and then enters the denitrification tower after being reduced to 0.6MPa through the pressure reducing valve. The nitrogen, hydrogen and other components flow out from the top of the tower in the form of gas as nitrogen-rich tail gas, and the remaining methane flows out from the bottom of the tower in the form of liquid as liquefied natural gas. The nitrogen-rich tail gas is reheated by the main heat exchanger and then discharged from the unit. The reheated nitrogen-rich tail gas is divided into two parts. One part is sent to the dehydration unit through the first branch S16 of the nitrogen-rich tail gas pipeline of the liquefaction unit as regeneration gas and then discharged. The other part is directly discharged through the second branch S15 of the nitrogen-rich tail gas pipeline of the liquefaction unit. The nitrogen content of the liquefied natural gas flowing out of the bottom of the denitrogenation tower is not higher than 1%. It is sent out of the cold box after being supercooled to about -162℃ by the main heat exchanger, and after throttling, it is output as a liquefied natural gas product through the liquefaction unit discharge pipe S09 to the liquefaction unit.
[0098] The cooling capacity required for the low-temperature distillation of the liquefaction unit is provided by a mixed refrigerant circulation system and a nitrogen refrigeration circulation system.
