Description

以可變能耗低溫分離空氣之方法與裝置
本發明係有關一種藉低溫分離空氣來可變提取(variable Gewinnung)壓縮氣體產品之方法與裝置。
用於低溫分離空氣之方法與裝置例如披露於Hausen/Linde,Tieftemperaturtechnik,2.Auflage 1985,Kapitel 4(Hausen/Linde,低溫技術,1985年第2版,第4章,第281至337頁)。
此類設備之蒸餾塔系統可構造成雙塔系統(例如經典Linde雙塔系統),或者亦可構造成三塔或多塔系統。除氮氧分離塔外,該系統還可具有用於提取高純度產品及/或其他空氣組分特別是稀有氣體之其他裝置,例如提氬裝置及/或氪氙提取裝置。
在製程中的“內壓縮”階段,在液態下被加壓之產品流遇熱載體而蒸發且最終作為經內壓縮之壓縮氣體產品被提取。此方法亦稱內壓縮。其用於提取氣態加壓產品。在超臨界壓力下不發生真正意義上之相變,遂使得產品流“假蒸發”。該產品流例如可為來自雙塔系統之低壓塔的氧產品或者來自雙塔系統之高壓塔或主冷凝器(高壓塔與低壓塔透過該主冷凝器而處於熱交換連接)之液化室的氮產品。
處於高壓下之熱載體遇該(假)蒸發產品流而液化(若熱載體處於超臨界壓力下,則為假液化)。該熱載體往往由空氣的一部分構成,在該情況下由經壓縮之所用空氣的“第二分流”構成。
內壓縮方法例如披露於DE 830805、DE 901542(=US 2712738/US 2784572)、DE 952908、DE 1103363(=US 3083544)、DE 1112997(=US 3214925)、DE 1124529、DE 1117616(=US 3280574)、DE 1226616(=US 3216206)、DE 1229561(=US 3222878)、DE 1199293、DE 1187248(=US 3371496)、DE 1235347、DE 1258882(=US 3426543)、DE 1263037(=US 3401531)、DE 1501722(=US 3416323)、DE 1501723(=US 3500651)、DE 253132(=US 4279631)、DE 2646690、EP 93448 B1(=US 4555256)、EP 384483 B1(=US 5036672)、EP 505812 B1(=US 5263328)、EP 716280 B1(=US 5644934)、EP 842385 B1(=US 5953937)、EP 758733 B1(=US 5845517)、EP 895045 B1(=US 6038885)、DE 19803437 A1、EP 949471 B1(=US 6185960 B1)、EP 955509 A1(=US 6196022 B1)、EP 1031804 A1(=US 6314755)、DE 19909744 A1、EP 1067345 A1(=US 6336345)、EP 1074805 A1(=US 6332337)、DE 19954593 A1、EP 1134525 A1(=US 6477860)、DE 10013073 A1、EP 1139046 A1、EP 1146301 A1、EP 1150082 A1、EP 1213552 A1、DE 10115258 A1、EP 1284404 A1(=US 2003051504 A1)、EP 1308680 A1(=US 6612129 B2)、DE 10213212 A1、DE 10213211 A1、EP 1357342 A1或DE 10238282 A1DE 10302389 A1、DE 10334559 A1、DE 10334560 A1、DE 10332863 A1、EP 1544559 A1、EP 1585926 A1、DE 102005029274 A1EP 1666824 A1、EP 1672301 A1、DE 102005028012 A1、WO 2007033838 A1、WO 2007104449 A1、EP 1845324 A1、DE 102006032731 A1、EP 1892490 A1、DE 102007014643 A1、A1、EP 2015012 A2、EP 2015013 A2、EP 2026024 A1、WO 2009095188 A2或DE 102008016355 A1。
DE 102010052545 A1揭露一種在主熱交換器中加熱空氣流並將其回輸至主空氣壓縮機之穩態內壓縮方法。
該發明具體係關於將全部之所用空氣壓縮至一壓力的系統,該 壓力大幅超過蒸餾塔系統之塔內部佔優勢的最高蒸餾壓力(正常情況下為高壓塔壓力)。此類系統亦稱HAP製程(HAP-high air pressure,高空氣壓力)。其中,“第一壓力”即用以壓縮總空氣之主空氣壓縮機(MAC=main air compressor)的出口壓力例如超過最高蒸餾壓力4bar以上,特定言之超過最高蒸餾壓力6bar至16bar。“第一壓力”之絕對值例如介於17bar與25bar間。在HAP法中,主空氣壓縮機通常為唯一一台由外部供能之空氣壓縮機器。“唯一一台機器”係指所有級皆連接同一驅動裝置之單級或多級壓縮機,其中所有級皆安置在同一殼體內或連接同一傳動裝置。
所謂的MAC-BAC法為上述HAP法之替代方案,其在主空氣壓縮機內將空氣壓縮至較低之總空氣壓力,例如壓縮至高壓塔之操作壓力(加上管線損失)。來自主空氣壓縮機之空氣的一部分在由外部供能之增壓空氣壓縮機(BAC=booster air compressor)內被壓縮至更高壓力。此部分處於更高壓力下之空氣(通常稱為節制流)在主熱交換器中提供內壓縮產品(假)蒸發所需要之絕大部分熱。此部分空氣於主空氣壓縮機下游在節流閥或密集液體膨脹機(DLE=dense liquid expander)內膨脹至蒸餾塔系統所需之壓力。
由於對內壓縮產品的需求存在波動,要求將空氣分離設備設計成能以可變運行來實現可變之壓縮氣體生產。反之,有益者係空氣分離設備在生產恆定或基本恆定之情況下仍設置能耗不同之不同操作模式以實現可變運行。
此種邊界條件之一具體實例係為在環氧乙烷生產設備上提供內壓縮氧(GOXIV)及視情況其他氣態及/或液態產品。在此,需氧量往往與生產EO時之觸媒狀態相匹配;故該需氧量在觸媒壽命(一般3年左右)期間可能在100%與約70%間變化。其要點在於,在此期間空氣分離設備大約以相同時間形成不同之GOXIV產品數量(介於100%與約 70%間)。因此,設備既在設計情況下以100% GOXIV運行,亦在欠載情況下高效運行,此點較為重要。此要求由於以下因素而進一步加大難度:其他空分產品之生產不受GOXIV產品影響;例如當GOX生產由100%下降至約70%時,對一種、數種或所有其他空分產品之需求可能保持不變。此等“其他空分產品”例如可為以下產品中的一種、數種或全部:
- 內壓縮氮產品(GANIV)
- 其他氣態加壓產品,例如氣態提取自高壓塔且視情況而在氮氣壓縮機內經進一步壓縮之加壓氮(HPGAN)。
- 液態產品如液氧、液氮及/或液氬。
採用傳統MAC-BAC法能較好地實現此項任務,因為兩壓縮機(MAC及BAC)分管不同功能之任務。主空氣壓縮機基本僅提供分離所用之空氣;增壓空氣壓縮機為內壓縮(GOXIV,GANIV)及液體生產供能。兩機器通常在70%與100%間較易控制。
HAP法使用唯一一台壓縮機來解決此兩項任務(提供待分離空氣以及為內壓縮及/或液體生產供能)。此會導致某些工況處於壓縮機特性曲線族以外且無法加以操縱之情形。空氣分離設備之整體能量需求並非僅取決於GOXIV產品,而是絕大部分取決於液體生產及其他內壓縮產品。但待分離空氣之量往往取決於GOXIV產品。若GOXIV量顯著減少,則被送入設備之待分離空氣的量亦明顯減少。如此一來,輸入系統之能量亦大幅減少,從而可能不足以用來如願生產其他產品(液體、GANIV等等)。為了在空氣量明顯減少之情況下仍能提供足夠多的能量,須大幅提高壓縮機壓力。但HAP法僅在有限範圍內能實現此點,因為a)機器特性曲線族受限,以及b)設備“熱”部(預冷裝置、吸附器等等)之設計壓力不得被超 過。
本發明之目的在於提供一種方法及一種相應之裝置,其將HAP法之優點與MAC-BAC法之靈活性相結合。“靈活性”在此具體指系統並非僅在內壓縮產品之特定生產量下可節能運行,而是可在較寬之負載範圍內以大體恆定之較低專用能耗運行。其中具體而言,其他空分產品之生產應保持不變或者其變化強度至少應小於內壓縮產品之產品數量的變化強度。
請求項1之特徵為本發明用以達成該目的之解決方案。
本發明在第二操作模式下導引所用空氣量之一部分從整個蒸餾塔系統旁邊流過。如此一來,此部分量不參加第一產品流之產生,但仍可通過第一渦輪機以實現足量製冷或為系統足量供能,以便能維持液體生產或者至少確保其減少程度小於第一壓力生產(Druckproduktion)之量。
根據本發明,所用空氣之一部分不被導入蒸餾塔系統,而是被回輸至主空氣壓縮機,具體實現方式為:- 多級壓縮機由主空氣壓縮機構成,- 第一製程流由全部之所用空氣構成,並且- 第二製程流由所用空氣之經膨脹做功之第一分流的一部分構成。
過剩空氣不被導入蒸餾塔系統,而是在渦輪機中膨脹後立即被回輸至熱交換器,而後在未經節流處理之情況下在主空氣壓縮機之合適位置處(例如在第二或第三級之後)被送入。如此一來,必要的“過剩”空氣量係例如由5bar左右而非由大氣壓力開始進行壓縮,藉此可節省許多能量。
另一方案(適用於未設低壓GAN壓縮機之情形)係將過剩空氣導入蒸餾塔系統並加以分離。其中可提取存在於此空氣量內之氬。其中可 自低壓塔提取過剩氧量作為低壓氧並將其送入UN2流。在此基本上僅失去用來提取附加氧分子之分離功,但同時能生產明顯更多的氬。
可變空氣回輸亦可與相應壓縮機之氮中間饋送相結合,具體實現方式為:- 第三製程流在氮產品壓縮機中由入口壓力被壓縮至最後壓力,並且- 第四製程流在氮產品壓縮機之第一級下游至少間歇性地與第三製程流混合,其中- 第三製程流由來自低壓塔之第一氣態氮流構成,並且- 第四製程流由來自高壓塔之第一氣態氮流構成。
有利地,第二製程流與第一製程流之混合或第四製程流與第二製程流之混合在多級壓縮機之中間級進行。
進一步地,在第二操作模式下可自低壓塔下部區域提取氧氣流,將該氧氣流與來自低壓塔上部區域之氮富集流混合並且在主熱交換器中加熱該混合物。
根據本發明之特殊實施方式,此外更可使用第二空氣渦輪機,其中在主空氣壓縮機中被壓縮之所用空氣的第三分流在主熱交換器中冷卻至中間溫度並在該第二空氣渦輪機中膨脹做功,並且該經膨脹做功之第三分流的至少一第一部分被導入蒸餾塔系統。
此外,在主空氣壓縮機中被壓縮之所用空氣的第二分流可在主熱交換器中冷卻至中間溫度,在作為冷壓縮機運行且由第二渦輪機驅動之第二增壓壓縮機中被再壓縮至高於第一壓力之第三壓力,在主熱交換器中冷卻,(假)液化,而後膨脹並被導入蒸餾塔系統。藉此方式可在不耗用外部能量之情況下進一步提高第二分流之壓力。可達到相應更高之內壓縮壓力。
進一步地,在主空氣壓縮機中被壓縮之空氣的第四分流可在第 一壓力下在主熱交換器中冷卻,而後膨脹並被導入蒸餾塔系統。此種第二節制流有助於進一步最佳化主熱交換器中之熱交換程序。
在包含第二渦輪機之另一實施方式中,有利地,第三分流在第二空氣渦輪機中膨脹至一壓力,該壓力比高壓塔之操作壓力高至少1bar,並且經膨脹做功之第三分流在主熱交換器中進一步冷卻,而後膨脹並被導入蒸餾塔系統。此種第三節制流有助於進一步最佳化主熱交換器中之熱交換程序。
本發明方法特定言之在由第一操作模式切換至第二操作模式時,在主空氣壓縮機中被壓縮之總空氣量根本不減少或者減少程度小於加壓氧產品數量,具體實現方式為:- 在第一操作模式下在主空氣壓縮機中壓縮所用空氣之第一量,並且- 在第二操作模式下在主空氣壓縮機中壓縮所用空氣之第二量,其中- 所用空氣之第二量與所用空氣之第一量之比大於第一壓縮氣體產品之第二量與第一壓縮氣體產品之第一量之比,特定言之大至少3%,尤其大5%以上。
在GOXIV產量減小之工況下,“人為”提高送入冷箱之所用空氣量,即送入設備低溫部分之空氣量超過提取此工況所要求之加壓氧產品所需要的空氣量。若以“過剩”模式操作所用空氣,則可減小壓縮機出口處之壓力,因為此情況下係利用空氣量而非空氣壓力來為GOXIV產品之(假)蒸發供能。其意義在於不僅只簡單地以“過剩”模式操作空氣(在主空氣壓縮機中被壓縮,在熱交換器中冷卻,在渦輪機中膨脹至高壓塔壓力,在熱交換器中再度被加熱且最終經節流處理而達到大氣壓力),而是透過前述特徵亦能實現其他優點。
透過此措施,仍有足夠的空氣可用來提取其他產品。例如可足 量製冷來提供恆定之液體產品數量。
根據本發明,在主空氣壓縮機中被壓縮之所用空氣的第一分流在被導入主熱交換器之前在由第一渦輪機驅動之熱運行的第一增壓壓縮機中被再壓縮。如此一來,第一渦輪機之入口壓力遠高於總空氣經壓縮而達到之第一壓力。用於第二渦輪機之空氣則例如未經再壓縮,即其入口壓力處於第一壓力之較低水平。
本發明更有關於一種如請求項10之裝置。可用對應於相關方法請求項之特徵的設備特徵補充本發明之裝置。
“用於在第一與第二操作模式間切換之手段”係指能透過共同作用而在兩操作模式間實現至少部分自動切換的複合型調控裝置,例如經相應程式化之操作控制系統。
下面結合圖式中以示意圖形式示出之實施例詳細闡述本發明及本發明之其他技術細節。
首先結合圖1說明本發明方法第一實施方式之第一操作模式。主空氣壓縮機2透過過濾器1抽吸大氣空氣(AIR)。該主空氣壓縮機在示例中具有五級並且將總空氣流壓縮至例如為22bar之“第一壓力”。主空氣壓縮機2下游之總空氣流3於第一壓力下在預冷裝置4中冷卻。經預冷之總空氣流5在具體由一對可切換之分子篩吸附器構成的淨化裝置6中被淨化。經淨化之總空氣流7的第一部分8在包含再冷器10之 熱運行的增壓空氣壓縮機9中被再壓縮至例如為28bar之第二壓力,而後分成“第一分流”11(第一渦輪機空氣流)及“第二分流”12(第一節制流)。
第一分流11在主熱交換器13中冷卻至第一中間溫度。經冷卻之第一分流14在第一空氣渦輪機15中由該第二壓力膨脹做功至約5.5bar。第一空氣渦輪機15驅動熱增壓空氣壓縮機9。經膨脹做功之第一分流16被導入分離器(相分離器)17。液態分量18由管線19及20送入蒸餾塔系統之低壓塔22。
該蒸餾塔系統包括高壓塔21、低壓塔22、主冷凝器23以及包含粗氬塔25及精氬塔26之常用氬提取裝置24。主冷凝器23構造成冷凝蒸發器,在具體示例中構造成串級蒸發器。在示例中,高壓塔塔頂之操作壓力為5.3bar,低壓塔塔頂之操作壓力為1.35bar。
所用空氣之第二分流12在主熱交換器13中冷卻至高於第一中間溫度之第二中間溫度,由管線27送入冷壓縮機28並於該處被再壓縮至約為40bar之“第三壓力”。經再壓縮之第二分流29在高於第二中間溫度之第三中間溫度下被再度導入主熱交換器13並於該處冷卻至冷端溫度。冷第二分流30在節流閥31中大體膨脹至高壓塔之操作壓力並由管線32送入高壓塔21。一部分33被再度提取,在過冷式逆流熱交換器34中冷卻並由管線35及20送入低壓塔22。
所用空氣之“第三分流”36在第一壓力下被導入主熱交換器13並於該處冷卻至第四中間溫度,該第四中間溫度在示例中略低於第一中間溫度。經冷卻之第三分流37在第二空氣渦輪機38中由第一壓力大體膨脹做功至高壓塔壓力。第二空氣渦輪機38驅動冷壓縮機28。經膨脹做功之第三分流39由管線40送入高壓塔21底層。
“第四分流”41(第二節制流)在第一壓力下由熱端至冷端貫穿主熱交換器13。冷第四分流42在節流閥43中大體膨脹至高壓塔之操作壓 力並由管線32送入高壓塔21。
高壓塔21之氧富集底層液體在過冷式逆流熱交換器34中冷卻並由管線45導入可選之氬提取裝置24。由此產生之蒸汽46及剩餘液體47被送入低壓塔22。
高壓塔21之頂部氮48的第一部分49在主冷凝器23之液化室內遇到在蒸發室內蒸發之低壓塔底層液氧而完全液化或大體上完全液化。其間所產生之液氮50的第一部分51作為回流被送往高壓塔21。第二部分52在過冷式逆流熱交換器34中冷卻並由管線53送入低壓塔22。該液態低壓氮之至少一部分53在低壓塔22中用作回流;另一部分54可作為液氮產品(LIN)被提取。
自低壓塔22頂部提取氣態低壓氮55並在過冷式逆流熱交換器34及主熱交換器13中加熱之。熱低壓氮56在由兩區段構成且包含中間冷卻裝置及再冷裝置(58,60)之氮產品壓縮機(57,59)中被壓縮至期望產品壓力,該期望產品壓力在示例中為12bar。該氮產品壓縮機之第一區段57例如由包含相關再冷器之兩或三級構成;第二區段59具有至少一級且較佳同樣經中間冷卻及再冷卻。
自低壓塔22之中間位置提取氣態不純氮61並在過冷式逆流熱交換器34及主熱交換器13中加熱之。熱不純氮62可排放(63)入大氣(ATM)及/或作為再生氣體64用於淨化裝置6。
管線67及68(所謂的氬通道(Argonübergang))將低壓塔22與氬提取裝置24之粗氬塔25連接起來。
來自低壓塔22底層之液氧69的第一部分70作為“第一產品流”被提取,在氧泵71中達到例如為37bar之“第一產品壓力”並在該第一產品壓力下在主熱交換器13中蒸發,最終透過管線72作為“第一壓縮氣體產品”(GOX IC-內壓縮氣態氧)被提取。
來自低壓塔22底層之液氧69的第二部分73視情況在過冷式逆流 熱交換器34中冷卻並且透過管線74作為液氧產品(LOX)被提取。
在示例中,來自高壓塔21或主冷凝器23之液氮50的第三部分75亦經內壓縮處理,具體係該部分在氮泵76中達到例如為37bar之第二產品壓力並在該第二產品壓力下在主熱交換器13中假蒸發,最終透過管線77作為內壓縮氣態氮加壓產品(GAN IC)被提取。
高壓塔21之氣態頂部氮48的第二部分78在主熱交換器中被加熱並且透過管線79或者作為氣態中壓產品被提取,或者--如圖所示--作為密封氣體(Sealgas)用於圖中所示之一或數個製程泵。
若將達到最高製氧率(根據設計為100%)之運行稱作“第一操作模式”,則圖中加粗示出之管線65/66在此運行方式下保持不工作狀態。
在此情況下,更低之製氧率(例如75%)可被視作“第二操作模式”。在此,經膨脹做功之第一分流16之氣態分量17的一部分作為“第二製程流”由管線65、66經主熱交換器回輸至主空氣壓縮機2之中間級。在示例中,該回輸流在主空氣壓縮機之第二與第三級或第三與第四級間與所用空氣混合。(此所用空氣為“第一製程流”。)藉此可使得通過渦輪機15之空氣量保持較高水平並確保所提取之氮產品及液體產品的量不變或者至少減小幅度不大。
95%運行方式可被視作“第一操作模式”。在此情況下,製氧率例如達到設計值之90%時即為“第二操作模式”。
以下表格所列為如圖1之設備之兩種不同操作模式的示例性數值:
表格中之回輸量係關於通過過濾器1之當前空氣量。若無其他規定,則所給出之所有百分比全文皆指莫耳量。
透過下文所述之可選措施可進一步提高該方法之靈活性。其中在第二操作模式下自低壓塔提取氣態氧181並將其與來自低壓塔之氣態不純氮61混合。示例中係在過冷式逆流熱交換器34下游進行該混合。在第一操作模式下,管線181關閉或者由管線181輸送之氣體有所減少。
圖2示出第二方法方案之實施方式。其與圖1之區別在於以下特徵。
此處未設用於空氣之回輸管線65、66。作為替代,在第二操作模式下,除密封氣體量79外,來自高壓塔頂部之氣態頂部氮48的附加部分180作為“第二製程流”180由管線178、179輸送且最終在氮產品壓縮機之兩區段57、59間與來自低壓塔之氮56混合,此氮在該方案中形成“第一製程流”。
來自高壓塔之相應氮量180不在主冷凝器23中冷凝且不被導入低壓塔。在此情況下,此氮量不參加低壓塔中之精餾(既非間接透過底層氧蒸發,亦非直接作為回流液體),從而實現製氧率之減小。與此同時,等量(或僅略少於此氮量之)空氣可用於製冷與製氮。
在第一操作模式下,更少量之第二製程流180被送往氮產品壓縮機之中間位置或者管線180完全關閉。
透過下文所述之可選措施可進一步提高該方法之靈活性。其中在第二操作模式下自低壓塔提取氣態氧181並將其與來自低壓塔之氣態不純氮61混合。示例中係在過冷式逆流熱交換器34下游進行該混合。在第一操作模式下,管線181關閉或者由管線181輸送之氣體有所減少。
以下表格所列為如圖2之設備之兩種不同操作模式的示例性數值:
通過管線180之氮量與設計情況下通過過濾器1之空氣量有關。
圖3與圖1之區別在於第三節制流。為此,第二渦輪機38以較大出口壓力及較高出口溫度運行。在此情況下,經膨脹做功之渦輪機流339的壓力比高壓塔操作壓力高至少1bar,特定言之高4bar至11bar,其溫度比主熱交換器冷端之低壓氮流55、61的入口溫度高至少10K,特定言之高20K至60K。此流而後在主熱交換器之冷部中進一步冷卻。經進一步冷卻之第三分流340作為第三節制流在節流閥341中大體膨脹至高壓塔壓力並由管線32送入高壓塔。藉此可進一步最佳化主熱交換器中之熱交換程序。
圖4不同於圖3之處在於,第三分流436在更高之第二壓力而非在第一壓力下被導入第二渦輪機38。
圖3及圖4之附加措施不僅可用於本發明,亦可用於如圖2之方案。
