Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquefied natural gas technology, and in particular to a gas recovery device for LNG desulfurization production. Background Technology

[0002] LNG is a liquefied form of natural gas. In the production of LNG from coke oven gas, the desulfurization system is a critical process. The desulfurization system removes sulfides from the feed gas to prevent corrosion of subsequent equipment and catalyst poisoning. During system start-up, the desulfurization catalyst needs to be heated to 280℃, which takes 3 days. During shutdown, catalyst replacement requires cooling, which takes 1 day. The system consumes approximately 15,000 Nm³ of coke oven gas per hour, and approximately 2.52 million Nm³ of coke oven gas is consumed annually during the two start-up and shutdown cycles. 3 This portion of the gas cannot be immediately sent to downstream processes, resulting in it being sent to the flare for combustion and release, causing resource waste and environmental pollution.

[0003] The current method is to directly burn and release the unprocessable gas during the system start-up phase. This not only wastes valuable gas resources but also increases the risk of environmental pollution. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a gas recovery device for LNG desulfurization production, which solves the problem of waste of coke oven gas during start-up and shutdown in the prior art.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a gas recovery device for LNG desulfurization production, comprising a nitrogen cooler, a first pipe connected to the desulfurization main vent pipeline, a second pipe, a third pipe connected to the desorbed gas pipeline, and a flow regulating valve. The outlet of the first pipe is connected to the shell-side inlet of the nitrogen cooler, the shell-side outlet of the nitrogen cooler is connected to the second pipe, the second pipe is connected to the third pipe, and the flow regulating valve is installed on the third pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, a safety valve is provided between the desulfurization main vent pipeline and the nitrogen cooler.

[0007] Furthermore, the first pipeline is equipped with a first drain valve, the second pipeline is equipped with a second drain valve, and the third pipeline is equipped with a third drain valve.

[0008] This invention has the following advantages: The coke oven gas to LNG co-production hydrogen unit is started and stopped twice a year. During the start-up and shutdown process, the approximately 2.52 million Nm³ of coke oven gas consumed in the heating and cooling of the desulfurization system is replaced by the existing direct flare combustion and release of the gas. Instead, the gas is fed into the recovery device of this invention. After being cooled by a nitrogen cooler, the coke oven gas enters the desorption gas return pipeline after the system pressure and flow are regulated by a regulating valve. This achieves the recovery and utilization of coke oven gas, realizes zero release during the system start-up phase, reduces environmental pollution, lowers carbon emissions, and saves more than 2.016 million yuan in fuel costs annually.

[0014] like Figure 1As shown, a gas recovery device for LNG desulfurization production includes a nitrogen cooler 3, a first pipeline 2 and a second pipeline 4 connected to the main desulfurization vent pipeline 1, a third pipeline 5 connected to the desorbed gas pipeline 7, a flow regulating valve 6, and a safety valve 9. The main desulfurization vent pipeline 1 is numbered VT0201-400, the first pipeline 2 is numbered VT0208-200, the nitrogen cooler 3 is numbered E0202, the second pipeline 4 is numbered VT0209-200, the flow regulating valve 6 is numbered HV-0204, and the third pipeline 5 is numbered VT02. 10-200. 15000 Nm³ / h of gas used in the start-up and shutdown of the desulfurization system for LNG production from coke oven gas is cooled to 40°C in the shell side of nitrogen cooler 3 through the main desulfurization vent pipeline 1 and the first pipeline 2. After passing through the second pipeline 4 and the third pipeline 5, the flow rate is regulated by the automatic flow regulating valve 6 and then converges to the outlet of the PSA system's desorbed gas pipeline 7. The PSA system is a pressure swing adsorption system used for gas adsorption, separation and purification.

[0015] The shell side of nitrogen cooler 3 contains process gas, while the tube side contains circulating water for cooling.

[0016] A safety valve 9 (PSV0201 in the attached diagram) is installed between the nitrogen cooler 3 and the sulfur vent line 1. The valve has a tripping pressure of 0.9 MPa and can ensure the safety of the equipment and pipeline under this process condition.
