Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of carbon dioxide capture and compression by chemical absorption method, and particularly relates to the field of waste heat recovery and liquefied natural gas cold energy utilization generated during the capture process. In particular, it relates to a carbon capture and compression system based on the comprehensive utilization of waste heat and LNG cold energy. Background Technology
[0002] The massive emission of greenhouse gases is one of the main causes of global warming, with carbon dioxide contributing approximately 60% to this increase. Carbon dioxide primarily originates from the use of fossil fuels, and its unchecked emission into the environment will severely exacerbate the greenhouse effect. Chemical absorption, represented by amine solutions, is a relatively mature and commercially viable carbon dioxide capture technology; however, it suffers from high initial investment, high capture energy consumption, and high compression power consumption. The regeneration energy consumption of chemical absorption carbon dioxide capture technology consists of three parts: reaction heat, sensible heat, and latent heat. The magnitude of the reaction heat is mainly determined by the type of absorbent. Sensible heat is used to heat the rich absorbent solution, raising its temperature to the reboiler temperature. Latent heat is mainly used to heat the solution to generate stripping steam and to raise the temperature of the reflux condensate at the top of the regeneration tower to the rich solution temperature. Furthermore, carbon dioxide needs to be liquefied before being transported to storage or utilization sites for pipeline transport. This typically involves multi-stage compression and intercooling to increase the pressure to around 150 bar, resulting in very high compression power consumption. On the other hand, chemical absorption carbon dioxide capture and compression systems generate a large amount of low-temperature waste heat, such as the cooling heat of the gas at the top of the regeneration tower, the superheat of the low-pressure extraction steam, the cooling heat of the reboiler condensate, and the intermediate cooling heat during carbon dioxide compression. This heat is difficult to recover using conventional methods, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency. Therefore, effectively recovering the system's waste heat and reducing energy losses during the utilization process is key to achieving high efficiency and energy saving in carbon dioxide capture systems.
[0003] As the fastest-growing primary energy source, natural gas boasts advantages such as high combustion efficiency and low greenhouse gas emissions. Liquefied natural gas (LNG), as the liquid form of natural gas, has a temperature of -162°C at atmospheric pressure. Before use, it must absorb heat and vaporize into natural gas, releasing approximately 830 kJ / kg of cold energy in the process. Using seawater as a heat source would cause low-temperature pollution of the ocean and waste of high-grade cold energy. Currently, there are few reports on the integrated utilization of waste heat and LNG cold energy in chemical absorption carbon dioxide capture and compression technologies, and detailed and in-depth discussions are lacking, indicating significant research potential.
[0004] Lu Shijian et al. disclosed a chemical absorption carbon dioxide capture system based on waste heat recovery and utilization in Chinese invention patent CN110152457A. The system uses two lean and rich liquid heat exchangers and a heat pump system to recover the system's waste heat. The system is relatively complex, increases the number of equipment, and only recovers the heat of the gas discharged from the top of the desorption tower. A large amount of other waste heat, such as superheated steam extraction and carbon dioxide compression heat, is wasted. In addition, the recovery of liquefied natural gas cold energy is not considered, and the waste heat utilization is insufficient. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to at least solve one of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model proposes a chemical absorption carbon dioxide capture and compression system based on the comprehensive utilization of waste heat and liquefied natural gas cold energy. It can effectively integrate the low-temperature waste heat existing in the system and realize the efficient utilization of liquefied natural gas cold energy, improve the energy utilization efficiency of the system, and reduce the energy consumption of the carbon dioxide capture and compression process.
[0006] To achieve the objectives of this utility model, a chemical absorption carbon dioxide capture and compression system based on the comprehensive utilization of waste heat and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold energy is proposed. The system includes a flue gas cooler, an absorption tower, a rich liquid pump, a rich liquid distributor, a lean-rich liquid heat exchanger, a regeneration tower, a reboiler, a regenerated gas heat exchanger, a pressure reducing valve, a flash tank, a flash steam compressor, a lean liquid pump, a back-pressure turbine, a mixer, a condensate distributor, a generator, a magnetic coupler, a lean liquid cooler, a lean liquid mixer, a lean liquid pressure reducing valve, a multi-stream heat exchanger, a two-phase separator, a first-stage compressor, a first-stage gas-liquid separator, a second-stage compressor, a second-stage gas-liquid separator, a carbon dioxide condenser, an LNG storage tank, an LNG booster pump, and a carbon dioxide booster pump.
[0007] After being cooled by the flue gas cooler, the high-temperature flue gas enters the absorption tower from the bottom and comes into countercurrent contact with the lean absorbent sprayed from the top of the absorption tower. A chemical reaction occurs, and the carbon dioxide in the flue gas reacts with the absorbent to form carbamate. The purified gas, with the carbon dioxide removed, is discharged from the top of the absorption tower.
[0008] The rich liquid that has absorbed carbon dioxide is divided into two streams by the rich liquid splitter. One stream enters the regeneration gas heat exchanger to recover the heat of the regeneration gas at the top of the regeneration tower, and the other stream enters the lean and rich liquid heat exchanger to recover the heat of the lean liquid. After the temperature rises, it enters the regeneration tower for desorption.
[0009] The low-pressure extraction steam from the power plant has a relatively high pressure and temperature. To prevent absorbent degradation, it first enters the back-pressure turbine to drive the impeller and recover pressure energy before entering the reboiler for heating. A portion of the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy via a magnetic coupler connected to a generator. After the pressure decreases, the extraction steam mixes with some of the reboiler condensate to recover superheated extraction steam. After the temperature decreases, it enters the reboiler for heating.
[0010] In the reboiler, the rich liquor is heated by low-pressure steam to produce stripping steam, which comes into countercurrent contact with the rich liquor flowing down from above. This heating causes a desorption reaction in the rich liquor, releasing carbon dioxide and carrying a large amount of water vapor, which is then discharged from the top of the regeneration tower. To recover the latent heat of the lean liquor, the high-temperature lean liquor flowing from the bottom of the regeneration tower enters a lean liquor pressure reducing valve to lower the pressure. It then enters a flash tank to flash out the lean liquor vapor. The remaining lean liquor enters a lean-rich liquor heat exchanger to heat the rich liquor. The lean liquor vapor is then pressurized to the regeneration tower pressure by a flash compressor and then fed into the lean-rich liquor heat exchanger to heat the rich liquor, lowering its temperature to the reboiler temperature before it enters the regeneration tower for heating.
[0011] The regenerated gas at the top of the regeneration tower recovers some heat through the regeneration gas heat exchanger and then enters the multi-flow heat exchanger to recover the remaining heat energy. After the temperature drops, it enters the two-phase separator, where the water vapor condenses into condensate and enters the multi-flow heat exchanger to be heated. After the temperature rises, it enters the regeneration tower from the bottom, reducing the latent heat and the flow rate of the make-up water.
[0012] Carbon dioxide carrying water vapor is pressurized by the first-stage compressor and then enters a multi-flow heat exchanger to recover the heat of compression. After its temperature decreases, it enters the first-stage gas-liquid separator to remove condensate. Then, it is compressed to above the triple point pressure by the second-stage compressor to prevent sublimation. After the pressure increases, the carbon dioxide re-enters the multi-flow heat exchanger to recover the heat of compression in the second stage. After cooling down, it enters the second-stage gas-liquid separator to remove the remaining condensate, yielding high-purity carbon dioxide.
[0013] Water vapor-free carbon dioxide enters a carbon dioxide condenser and exchanges heat with liquefied natural gas from the liquefied natural gas storage tank, reducing its temperature below the boiling point. After recovering the cold energy, the liquefied natural gas is vaporized into natural gas for subsequent utilization. Liquid carbon dioxide is pressurized to transportation pressure by a carbon dioxide booster pump and then enters a multi-flow heat exchanger to be heated to transportation temperature before being transported to storage or utilization sites via pipeline.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] (1) In the system of this utility model, a portion of the rich liquid is diverted to the regeneration gas heat exchanger to recover the waste heat of the regeneration gas at the top of the regeneration tower, thereby reducing the sensible heat; the lean liquid at the bottom of the regeneration tower is depressurized by the pressure reducing valve and then flashed out as lean liquid vapor. After being pressurized by the flash vapor compressor, the temperature rises and enters the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger to heat the rich liquid. After recovering the heat, the temperature drops to the reboiler temperature and then enters the regeneration tower for heating, thereby reducing the heat load of the reboiler.
[0016] (2) In the system of this utility model, the pressure energy of the low-pressure extracted steam is recovered by the back pressure steam turbine to drive the flash steam compressor, and is converted into electrical energy by the generator, so that the extracted steam is reduced to a suitable pressure and then enters the reboiler for heating, thus realizing cogeneration; the superheat of the reboiler condensate is recovered by mixing the reflux part of the reboiler condensate and the extracted steam, which reduces the amount of gas extracted by the power plant; the waste heat of the regeneration gas at the top of the regeneration tower and the heat of carbon dioxide compression are recovered by the multi-stream heat exchanger to heat the condensate reflux water of the regeneration tower, saving latent heat and makeup water flow.
[0017] (3) In the system of this utility model, the cold energy of liquefied natural gas is recovered and used to liquefy carbon dioxide under intermediate pressure, which greatly reduces the number of compression stages and compression power consumption of carbon dioxide. In addition, after the carbon dioxide is liquefied, it enters the multi-flow heat exchanger to recover the remaining cold energy, which can significantly reduce the amount of cooling water used in the carbon dioxide compression process.
[0018] (4) This utility model effectively recovers the low-temperature waste heat in the carbon dioxide capture and compression process, realizes the efficient utilization of liquefied natural gas cold energy, significantly reduces the regeneration energy consumption and compression power consumption, and greatly improves energy utilization efficiency and economy.

High-temperature flue gas enters the flue gas cooler 28 through the first inlet 2801 and is cooled by the cooling water entering the flue gas cooler 28 through the second inlet 2802. After the temperature rises, the cooling water is discharged from the second outlet 2804. The flue gas temperature drops to 40°C and then enters the absorption tower 1 through the first outlet 2803 and the first inlet 101 of the absorption tower.
[0178] High-temperature flue gas emitted from a stationary emission source (in one embodiment of this invention, the temperature can reach 100~120°C) enters the flue gas cooler 28 from the first inlet 2801. Since the carbon dioxide absorption reaction is exothermic, the low temperature condition can promote the forward absorption reaction. Therefore, the flue gas is cooled by cooling water entering the flue gas cooler 28 through the second inlet 2802 (in one embodiment of this invention, the cooling water reduces the flue gas temperature to about 40°C). The cooling water is discharged from the second outlet 2804 of the flue gas cooler, and the flue gas flows out through the first outlet 2803 of the flue gas cooler and enters the bottom of the absorption tower 1 from the first inlet 101 of the absorption tower.
[0179] The lean absorbent solution is an organic amine solution, which enters the top of the absorption tower 1 from the second inlet 102 of the absorption tower. It comes into countercurrent contact with the flue gas and undergoes an absorption reaction. Carbon dioxide and amine react to form carbamate. The purified flue gas, after the removal of carbon dioxide, is discharged from the first outlet 103 of the absorption tower, and the rich solution, which has absorbed carbon dioxide, is discharged from the second outlet 104 of the absorption tower.
[0180] The rich liquid enters the rich liquid pump 2 through the rich liquid pump inlet 201, and after being pressurized, it is discharged from the rich liquid pump outlet 202. It then enters the rich liquid distributor 3 through the rich liquid distributor inlet 301 and is divided into two streams. One stream of rich liquid is discharged from the first outlet 302 of the rich liquid distributor and enters the regeneration gas heat exchanger 17 through the first inlet 1701 of the regeneration gas heat exchanger. It exchanges heat with the high-temperature regeneration gas at the top outlet of the regeneration tower (in one embodiment of this utility model, the temperature is about 100~110℃) to recover the waste heat of the regeneration gas. After the temperature rises, the rich liquid enters the top of the regeneration tower 5 through the second inlet 502 of the regeneration tower. The remaining rich liquid enters the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 4 from the first inlet 401 of the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger and is heated by the lean liquid. After the temperature rises, it flows out from the first outlet 404 of the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger and enters the top of the regeneration tower 5 through the first inlet 501 of the regeneration tower. Under the action of gravity, it flows from top to bottom and enters the reboiler 6 through the first outlet 506 of the regeneration tower and the first inlet 601 of the reboiler. It is heated by low-pressure steam extraction to generate stripping steam to achieve carbon dioxide desorption.
[0181] The low-pressure extraction steam in the power plant has a high pressure and temperature. If it is directly used to heat the reboiler 6, the absorbent will be severely degraded. Therefore, effectively recovering the pressure energy and heat energy of the low-pressure extraction steam can not only improve energy utilization efficiency, but also avoid damage to the system.
[0182] As attached Figure 3As shown, the low-pressure extraction steam from the power plant enters the back-pressure turbine 7 through the back-pressure turbine inlet 701, driving the impeller to expand and recover pressure energy. This energy also drives the flash compressor 12 via the common shaft and is connected to the generator 29 through the magnetic coupler 30 to generate electricity. After the pressure decreases, the low-pressure extraction steam exits from the back-pressure turbine outlet 702, passes through the first mixer inlet 801, and enters the mixer 8. It mixes with some condensate water that exits from the second outlet 903 of the condensate diverter and enters through the second mixer inlet 802 to recover superheated extraction steam. After the temperature decreases, the low-pressure extraction steam exits through the mixer outlet 803 and enters the reboiler 6 through the second reboiler inlet 602 for heating. After releasing heat, the low-pressure extraction steam becomes condensate water, exits from the second reboiler outlet 604, and enters the condensate diverter 9 through the condensate diverter inlet 901, splitting into two streams. One stream flows out from the second outlet 903 of the condensate diverter to recover superheated extraction steam, and the other stream returns to the steam unit's steam-water cycle through the first outlet 902 of the condensate diverter.
[0183] In reboiler 6, the rich liquor is heated to generate stripping steam that flows upward, transferring heat to the rich liquor and causing a desorption reaction. After desorption, carbon dioxide carries a large amount of water vapor and is discharged from the second outlet 507 of the regeneration tower.
[0184] High-temperature lean liquor is discharged from the first outlet 506 of the regeneration tower, enters the pressure reducing valve 10 through the pressure reducing valve inlet 1001, and the outlet pressure is within the range of the regeneration tower pressure and the absorption tower pressure. After the pressure is reduced, the lean liquor is discharged from the pressure reducing valve outlet 1002 and enters the flash tank 11 through the flash tank inlet 1101 for flash evaporation. The flash steam is discharged from the first outlet 1102 of the flash tank, enters the flash steam compressor 12 through the flash steam compressor inlet 1201 to be pressurized, and compressed to the regeneration tower pressure. After the pressure is increased, it is discharged from the flash steam compressor outlet 1202 and enters the lean-rich liquor heat exchanger 4 through the third inlet 403 to heat the rich liquor and recover heat (heating the rich liquor entering from the first inlet 401 of the lean-rich liquor heat exchanger to reduce the temperature to the reboiler temperature). The flash steam after the temperature is reduced is discharged from the third outlet 406 of the lean-rich liquor heat exchanger and enters the bottom of the regeneration tower 5 through the third inlet 503 of the regeneration tower. The remaining lean liquid is discharged from the second outlet 1103 of the flash tank, enters the lean liquid pump 13 through the lean liquid pump inlet 1301, and flows out from the lean liquid pump outlet 1302 after the pressure increases. It then enters the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 4 through the second inlet 402 of the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger to heat the rich liquid and recover heat. After heat exchange, the lean liquid flows out from the second outlet 405 of the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger and enters the lean liquid cooler 14 through the first inlet 1401 of the lean liquid cooler. It exchanges heat with the cooling water that enters the lean liquid cooler 14 through the second inlet 1402 of the lean liquid cooler. After the cooling water is heated, it flows out through the second outlet 1404 of the lean liquid cooler. The lean liquid is further cooled (in one embodiment of this utility model, the temperature is reduced to 40°C) and then flows out from the first outlet 1403 of the lean liquid cooler. It enters the lean liquid mixer 15 through the third inlet 1503 of the lean liquid mixer and mixes with the makeup water that enters the lean liquid mixer 15 through the second inlet 1502 of the lean liquid mixer and the supplementary absorbent (in one embodiment of this utility model, an organic amine) that enters the lean liquid mixer 15 through the first inlet 1501 of the lean liquid mixer to maintain a constant concentration. The lean liquor flows out from the outlet 1504 of the lean liquor mixer, enters the lean liquor pressure reducing valve 16 through the inlet 1601 of the lean liquor pressure reducing valve, reduces the pressure, and then is discharged from the outlet 1602 of the lean liquor pressure reducing valve. It then returns to the absorption tower 1 from the second inlet 102 of the absorption tower, completing the absorption-desorption cycle.
[0185] The regeneration gas (a mixture of carbon dioxide and water vapor) at the top of the regeneration tower is discharged from the second outlet 507 of the regeneration tower and enters the regeneration gas heat exchanger 17 via the second regeneration gas inlet 1702 to heat the rich liquid in the regeneration gas heat exchanger 17 (the rich liquid enters the regeneration gas heat exchanger 17 via the first outlet 302 of the rich liquid distributor and the first inlet 1701 of the regeneration gas heat exchanger). After recovering some heat, the regeneration gas flows out from the second outlet 1704 of the regeneration gas heat exchanger and enters the multi-stream heat exchanger 18 via the first inlet 1801 of the multi-stream heat exchanger to recover the remaining heat. Waste heat; after the temperature decreases, the regenerated gas flows out from the first outlet 1807 of the multi-flow heat exchanger, enters the two-phase splitter 19 through the inlet 1901 of the two-phase splitter, and the water vapor condenses into condensate, which is discharged from the second outlet 1903 of the two-phase splitter and enters the multi-flow heat exchanger 18 through the fourth inlet 1804 of the multi-flow heat exchanger to recover heat; after the temperature increases, the condensate is discharged from the fourth outlet 1810 of the multi-flow heat exchanger and enters the regeneration tower 5 through the fourth inlet 504 of the regeneration tower to maintain the system water balance.
[0186] After the condensate is removed, carbon dioxide is discharged from the first outlet 1902 of the two-phase separator and enters the first-stage compressor 20 through the inlet 2001 of the first-stage compressor for pressurization, with a compression ratio of approximately 3. After the carbon dioxide pressure increases, it flows out from the outlet 2002 of the first-stage compressor and enters the multi-flow heat exchanger 18 through the third inlet 1803 to recover the heat of compression. After the temperature decreases, the carbon dioxide is discharged from the third outlet 1809 of the multi-flow heat exchanger and enters the first-stage gas-liquid separator 21 through the first inlet 2101 to remove the condensate. The condensate then exits from the second outlet 21 of the first-stage gas-liquid separator. 03. Carbon dioxide is discharged from the first outlet 2102 of the first-stage gas-liquid separator and enters the second-stage compressor 22 through the inlet 2201 of the second-stage compressor. It continues to be pressurized to the liquefaction pressure. After the pressure rises to the liquefaction pressure, it is discharged from the outlet 2202 of the second-stage compressor and enters the multi-flow heat exchanger 18 through the sixth inlet 1806 of the multi-flow heat exchanger to recover the second-stage compression heat. After the temperature drops, carbon dioxide is discharged from the sixth outlet 1812 of the multi-flow heat exchanger and enters the second-stage gas-liquid separator 23 through the inlet 2301 of the second-stage gas-liquid separator. The remaining condensate is discharged from the second outlet 2303 of the second-stage gas-liquid separator.
[0187] After removing water vapor, high-purity carbon dioxide is discharged from the first outlet 2302 of the second-stage gas-liquid separator and enters the carbon dioxide condenser 24 through the first inlet 2401. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is discharged from the LNG storage tank outlet 2601, enters the LNG booster pump 27 through the LNG booster pump inlet 2701, and after pressure increase, is discharged from the LNG booster pump outlet 2702. It then enters the carbon dioxide condenser 24 through the second inlet 2402, releasing cold energy and liquefying the carbon dioxide. After recovering the cold energy, the LNG becomes natural gas and is discharged from the second outlet 2404 of the carbon dioxide condenser, where it is burned as fuel to generate electricity.
[0188] The liquefied carbon dioxide is discharged from the first outlet 2403 of the carbon dioxide condenser and enters the carbon dioxide booster pump 25 through the inlet 2501 of the carbon dioxide booster pump, which increases the pressure to the transport pressure (approximately 150 bar in some embodiments of the present invention). After pressurization, the liquid carbon dioxide is discharged from the outlet 2502 of the carbon dioxide booster pump and enters the multi-flow heat exchanger 18 through the fifth inlet 1805 of the multi-flow heat exchanger to recover the remaining cold energy. After the temperature rises to the pipeline transport temperature (approximately 30°C in some embodiments of the present invention), the carbon dioxide is discharged from the fifth outlet 1811 of the multi-flow heat exchanger and enters the transport pipeline to be transported to the storage or utilization site.
[0189] This embodiment of the invention utilizes a rich liquid distributor and a regenerated gas heat exchanger to recover the waste heat of the regenerated gas at the top of the regeneration tower for heating the rich liquid, while simultaneously reducing the sensible and latent heat of absorbent regeneration. A pressure reducing valve and a flash compressor are used to recover the latent heat of the high-temperature lean liquid, and a back-pressure turbine and mixer are used to recover the pressure energy and superheat of the low-pressure extraction steam, reducing the extraction volume and driving the flash compressor and power generation. Furthermore, the cold energy of liquefied natural gas is used to liquefy carbon dioxide at intermediate pressure, reducing the number of compression stages and compression power consumption. A multi-stream heat exchanger is used to recover the heat of carbon dioxide compression for heating condensate, further reducing latent heat and cooling water usage. This achieves full recovery of waste heat and efficient utilization of liquefied natural gas cold energy in the chemical absorption carbon dioxide capture and compression system, improving the system's energy efficiency and economy.
