Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide production, and in particular to an apparatus for producing liquid carbon dioxide. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid carbon dioxide is produced through desulfurization, dehydrocarbonization, purification, and liquefaction purification processes. The carbon dioxide feedstock entering the desulfurization process is at room temperature and pressure between 10 kPa and 100 kPa. In the liquid carbon dioxide production process, the feedstock gas is first compressed to a pressure of 0.9 MPa to 1.2 MPa, then sequentially passed through the desulfurization, dehydrocarbonization, and purification processes. The purified carbon dioxide gas is then compressed to a pressure of 2.8 MPa to 3.3 MPa before being sent to the liquefaction and distillation purification processes.

[0003] In the carbon dioxide desulfurization process, when the temperature and pressure of the carbon dioxide feed gas entering the desulfurization tower are too high, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent in the desulfurization tower is less, which is not conducive to the adsorption of the desulfurization adsorbent. The pressure change will change the specific surface area and structure of the catalyst. The high pressure of the carbon dioxide feed gas entering the dehydrocarbonization process results in lower activity of the dehydrocarbonization catalyst, thus affecting the efficiency of carbon dioxide gas in the dehydrocarbonization process.

[0004] For example, the prior art document CN201210583434.X discloses a method for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the production of food-grade liquid carbon dioxide, which includes the following steps: a denitrification process; a first compression process; a desulfurization process; a dehydrogenation process; a purification process; a second compression process; a liquefaction process; and a distillation purification process. This method can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. However, after the compression process, the temperature and pressure of the carbon dioxide feed gas entering the desulfurization tower are too high, which is not conducive to the adsorption of the desulfurization adsorbent. The high pressure of the carbon dioxide feed gas entering the dehydrogenation process results in low catalyst activity, thus affecting the efficiency of liquid carbon dioxide production.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of this disclosure, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the liquid carbon dioxide production apparatus 10 of this disclosure includes a desulfurization process equipment 100, a dehydrocarbonization process equipment 200, a purification process equipment 300, a liquefaction and purification equipment 400, and a compression process equipment 500.

[0033] The compression process equipment 500 includes a first compression component 510, a second compression component 520, a third compression component 530, and a fourth compression component 540;

[0034] The desulfurization process equipment 100 includes a raw material inlet pipe 110, a cryostat 120, and a desulfurization tower 130. The raw material inlet pipe 110 is connected to the inlet end of the first compression assembly 510, the inlet end of the cryostat 120 is connected to the outlet end of the first compression assembly 510, and the desulfurization tower 130 is connected to the outlet end of the cryostat 120. The inlet end of the second compression assembly 520 is connected to the outlet end of the desulfurization tower 130, and the inlet end of the dehydrocarbon removal process equipment 200 is connected to the outlet end of the second compression assembly 520. The third compression assembly 530 has its inlet end connected to the outlet end of the dehydrocarbonization process equipment 200, and its outlet end connected to the inlet end of the purification process equipment 300. The purification process equipment 300 is connected to the outlet end of the third compression assembly 530. The fourth compression assembly 540 has its inlet end connected to the outlet end of the purification process equipment 300, and its inlet end connected to the liquefaction purification equipment 400. The outlet end of the liquefaction purification equipment 400 is used to connect to a storage tank.

[0035] In this embodiment, the carbon dioxide feedstock gas first enters the first compression assembly 510 through the feedstock inlet pipe 110 for compression and pressurization. After the first pressurization, the pressure of the carbon dioxide feedstock gas is approximately 0.4 MPa. The pressurized carbon dioxide feedstock gas then enters the cryogenic cooler 120 for cooling. Chilled water is circulated inside the cryogenic cooler 120, and the temperature of the carbon dioxide feedstock gas rapidly decreases to below 10°C after passing through the cryogenic cooler. The pressurized, low-temperature carbon dioxide feedstock gas then enters the desulfurization tower 130 for desulfurization. The desulfurized carbon dioxide gas then enters the second compression assembly 520 for a second pressurization. After the second pressurization, the pressure is approximately 0.8 MPa. The pressurized, desulfurized carbon dioxide gas then enters the desulfurization tower 130 for desulfurization. In the hydrocarbon equipment, the desulfurized carbon dioxide gas reacts with oxygen in the catalyst of the dehydrogenation process equipment 200 to carry out the dehydrogenation process. The dehydrogenated carbon dioxide gas enters the third compression component 530 for a third pressurization. The pressure after the third pressurization is about 1.5 MPa. After pressurization, the dehydrogenated carbon dioxide gas enters the purification equipment for purification to remove moisture and oxygen-containing organic matter from the raw gas. The purified carbon dioxide gas enters the fourth compression component 540 for pressurization. The pressure after the fourth pressurization is about 2.4 MPa. The pressurized and purified carbon dioxide gas enters the liquefaction purification equipment 400 for liquefaction. The liquefied carbon dioxide liquid is sent to the storage tank.

[0036] In the aforementioned liquid carbon dioxide production apparatus 10, the carbon dioxide feed gas is cooled by a cryocooler 120, lowering its temperature before entering the desulfurization tower 130 and thus increasing the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent in the desulfurization tower 130. The desulfurized carbon dioxide gas enters the dehydrocarbonization process equipment 200 at a lower pressure, resulting in higher catalyst activity and improved efficiency in removing hydrocarbon impurities from the carbon dioxide gas. After being pressurized, the dehydrocarbonized carbon dioxide gas enters the purification process equipment 300, thus improving the purification process equipment 300's efficiency. The efficiency of adsorbing moisture and oxygen-containing organic impurities is improved; after the purified carbon dioxide gas is repressurized, it enters the liquefaction purification equipment 400, which improves the liquefaction efficiency of the liquefaction purification equipment 400; the first compression component 510, the second compression component 520, the third compression component 530 and the fourth compression component 540 of the compression process are adapted to the working conditions of the desulfurization process, the dehydrocarbonization process, the purification process and the liquefaction purification process, which improves the efficiency of removing impurities in the production of liquefied carbon dioxide gas and improves the efficiency of carbon dioxide liquefaction, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of liquefied carbon dioxide gas production.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the desulfurization process equipment 100 further includes a first ambient temperature cooler 140. One end of the first ambient temperature cooler 140 is connected to the outlet end of the first compression assembly 510, and the other end of the first ambient temperature cooler 140 is connected to the inlet end of the cryogenic cooler 120. In this embodiment, the carbon dioxide feed gas has a high temperature. When the carbon dioxide feed gas passes through the first ambient temperature cooler 140, the temperature of the carbon dioxide feed gas is reduced through heat exchange, which reduces the cooling difficulty of the cryogenic cooler 120 for the carbon dioxide feed gas and improves the cooling efficiency of the cryogenic cooler 120 for the carbon dioxide feed gas.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the dehydrogenation process equipment 200 includes a dehydrogenation heat exchanger 210, a dehydrogenation heater 220, and a dehydrogenation reactor 230. The inlet of the dehydrogenation heat exchanger 210 is connected to the outlet of the second compression assembly 520. The dehydrogenation heat exchanger 210, the dehydrogenation heater 220, and the dehydrogenation reactor 230 are sequentially connected. The outlet of the dehydrogenation reactor 230 is also connected to the inlet of the third compression assembly 530. In this embodiment, the dehydrogenation heat exchanger 210 condenses and removes low-boiling-point hydrocarbon compounds in the carbon dioxide gas. The dehydrogenation heater 220 increases the temperature of the carbon dioxide gas before it enters the dehydrogenation reactor 230. This facilitates the reaction of oxygen-containing organic impurities in the heated carbon dioxide gas with the catalyst to produce water and carbon dioxide.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the dehydrogenation process equipment 200 further includes a second ambient temperature cooler 240. One end of the second ambient temperature cooler 240 is connected to the outlet end of the second compression assembly 520, and the other end of the second ambient temperature cooler 240 is connected to the inlet end of the dehydrogenation heat exchanger 210. In this embodiment, after desulfurization, the carbon dioxide pressure increases after passing through the second compression assembly 520, and the temperature of the carbon dioxide gas increases. Heat exchange occurs through the second ambient temperature cooler 240, causing the temperature of the carbon dioxide gas to decrease. The cooled carbon dioxide gas then flows into the dehydrogenation heat exchanger 210, which facilitates heat exchange and condensation within the dehydrogenation heat exchanger 210 to remove low-boiling-point hydrocarbon compounds.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the dehydrogenation process equipment 200 further includes a dehydrogenation cooler 250 and a water separator 260. The inlet of the dehydrogenation cooler 250 is connected to the outlet of the dehydrogenation reactor 230, the inlet of the water separator 260 is connected to the outlet of the dehydrogenation cooler 250, and the outlet of the water separator 260 is connected to the inlet of the third compression assembly 530. In this embodiment, the dehydrogenation cooler 250 is used to cool the moisture in the dehydrogenated carbon dioxide gas, and then the water separator 260 separates the moisture, thereby reducing the moisture content of the dehydrogenated carbon dioxide gas passing through the dehydrogenation cooler 250 and the water separator 260.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the purification process equipment 300 includes a purification tower 310, a regeneration preheater 320, and a purification heat exchanger 330. The air inlet of the purification tower 310 is connected to the air outlet of the third compression assembly 530. The purification tower 310 and the regeneration preheater 320 are connected to the purification tower 310. The regeneration preheater 320 is used for backflushing and regenerating the purification tower 310. The purification heat exchanger 330 is connected to the regeneration preheater 320. The air outlet of the purification tower 310 is connected to the air inlet of the fourth compression assembly 540. In this embodiment, the purification tower 310 uses pressure swing adsorption with an adsorbent to remove moisture and trace amounts of oxygen-containing organic matter remaining from the dehydrocarbonization process in the carbon dioxide gas. When the adsorbent in the purification tower 310 is saturated, high-temperature gas can be introduced through the regeneration preheater 320 to regenerate the adsorbent in the purification tower 310 by hot blowing. The purification heat exchanger 330 is used to exchange heat with the gas released from the flash steam of the evaporator condenser 420, and then it is introduced into the regeneration preheater 320 for utilization.

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the purification process equipment 300 further includes a third ambient temperature cooler 340. One end of the third ambient temperature cooler 340 is connected to the outlet end of the third compression assembly 530, and the other end of the third ambient temperature cooler 340 is connected to the inlet end of the purification tower 310. In this embodiment, after the dehydrocarbonized carbon dioxide gas passes through the third compression assembly 530, the temperature of the pressurized dehydrocarbonized carbon dioxide gas increases. The third ambient temperature cooler 340 lowers the temperature of the purified carbon dioxide gas, allowing the ambient temperature dehydrocarbonized carbon dioxide gas to enter the purification process equipment 300 for purification. The low temperature is beneficial to the adsorption of the adsorbent in the purification process equipment 300, thereby improving the purification effect of the purification process equipment 300 on the dehydrocarbonized carbon dioxide gas.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the liquefaction purification equipment 400 includes a liquid nitrogen freezing pipe 410, an evaporator condenser 420, and a purification tower 430. The liquid nitrogen freezing pipe 410 is connected to a cooling channel opened in the evaporator condenser. The evaporator condenser 420 is connected to the gas outlet of the fourth compression assembly 540. The liquid inlet of the purification tower 430 is connected to the gas outlet of the evaporator condenser 420. The liquid outlet of the purification tower 430 is used to connect to a storage tank. In this embodiment, the pressure of the purified carbon dioxide gas is increased after compression by the fourth compression component 540. The purified carbon dioxide gas with higher pressure flows into the evaporator condenser 420. Liquid nitrogen is introduced into the liquid nitrogen freezing pipe 410 and connected to the cooling channel of the evaporator condenser 420, so that the carbon dioxide gas in the evaporator condenser 420 is liquefied. Both cooling and pressurization will cause the carbon dioxide gas to liquefy. The liquefied carbon dioxide and the uncondensed carbon dioxide gas are sent to the purification tower 430. The purification tower 430 purifies the gas by distillation, so that other gaseous impurities that were not adsorbed and removed and the uncondensed gas are released by distillation. Purified liquid carbon dioxide is obtained at the bottom of the purification tower 430.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the liquefaction purification equipment 400 further includes a fourth ambient temperature cooler 440. One end of the fourth ambient temperature cooler 440 is connected to the outlet end of the fourth compression assembly 540, and the other end of the fourth ambient temperature cooler 440 is connected to the inlet end of the evaporator-condenser 420. In this embodiment, the temperature of the purified carbon dioxide increases after passing through the fourth compression assembly 540, and the temperature of the carbon dioxide gas decreases after passing through the fourth ambient temperature cooler 440 before flowing into the liquefaction purification equipment 400. This reduces the heat absorbed by the carbon dioxide gas during liquefaction, thereby improving the carbon dioxide liquefaction efficiency.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the liquefaction purification equipment 400 further includes a subcooler 450. The subcooler 450 has a subcooling channel connected to the liquid nitrogen freezing pipe 410. The inlet of the subcooler 450 is connected to the liquid outlet of the purification tower 430, and the outlet of the subcooler 450 is connected to a storage tank. In this embodiment, the subcooler 450 is connected to the subcooling channel of the liquid nitrogen freezing pipe 410. After passing through the subcooler 450, the temperature of the liquid carbon dioxide is further reduced to a subcooled state, maintaining the stability of the liquid carbon dioxide and thus ensuring the quality of the liquid carbon dioxide flowing into the storage tank.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0047] In the aforementioned liquid carbon dioxide production apparatus 10, the carbon dioxide feed gas is cooled by a cryocooler 120, lowering its temperature before entering the desulfurization tower 130 and thus increasing the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent in the desulfurization tower 130. The desulfurized carbon dioxide gas enters the dehydrocarbonization process equipment 200 at a lower pressure, resulting in higher catalyst activity and improved efficiency in removing hydrocarbon impurities from the carbon dioxide gas. After being pressurized, the dehydrocarbonized carbon dioxide gas enters the purification process equipment 300, thus improving the purification process equipment 300's efficiency. The efficiency of adsorbing moisture and oxygen-containing organic impurities is improved; after the purified carbon dioxide gas is repressurized, it enters the liquefaction purification equipment 400, which improves the liquefaction efficiency of the liquefaction purification equipment 400; the first compression component 510, the second compression component 520, the third compression component 530 and the fourth compression component 540 of the compression process are adapted to the working conditions of the desulfurization process, the dehydrocarbonization process, the purification process and the liquefaction purification process, which improves the efficiency of removing impurities in the production of liquefied carbon dioxide gas and improves the efficiency of carbon dioxide liquefaction, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of liquefied carbon dioxide gas production.
