FLNG液化工艺的关键技术

Key FLNG liquefaction technologies

  • 摘要: FLNG(LNG Floating Production Storage and Offloading Unit)液化工艺的关键技术包括液化工艺的选择、晃荡条件下工艺及关键设备的适应性,其对装置的投资、运行稳定性及安全产生很大的影响。根据海上工艺设计标准,对不同液化流程进行比选,分别建造氮膨胀和混合制冷剂两套液化实验装置,并开展晃荡实验,验证工艺及关键设备的海上适应性,实验结果表明:晃荡工况下,丙烷预冷双氮膨胀工艺和双混合制冷剂工艺的液化和处理能力均能保持较高水平,前者适用于处理量小且海况恶劣的海域,后者适用于处理量大且海况平稳的海域;壳侧降膜流动的不稳定性是导致绕管式换热器适应性较板翅式换热器低的主要因素;倾斜和横摇会在较大程度上降低填料塔内液体分布均匀性及传质性能;共振周期直接影响薄膜型液舱的装满度,横摇会提高气液两相分离过程的平衡程度;晃荡对膨胀机工作性能无影响。

     

    Abstract: The key FLNG liquefaction technologies, including the selection of liquefaction process and the adaptability of process and key device under sloshing conditions, have huge impacts on the investment, operation stability and safety of equipments. In this paper, the liquefaction processes were compared according to the offshore process design criteria. Then, two liquefaction experiment devices were built, and they are the nitrogen expansion device and the mixed refrigerant device. And finally, sloshing experiments were carried out to verify the adaptability of the technology and device in offshore conditions. It is concluded that under sloshing conditions, propane pre-cooling dual nitrogen expansion process and double mixed refrigerant process are both high in processing and liquefaction capacities. The former is suitable for the rough sea conditions with small-scale FLNG production, while the latter is applicable to the smooth sea conditions with large-scale FLNG production. The instability of falling film flow along the shell side is the main factor which results in the lower adaptability of spiral tube heat exchanger than that of plate-fin heat exchanger. Tilting and rolling deteriorate significantly the liquid distribution uniformity and mass transfer performance of the packed column. In addition, the resonance period affects directly the filling degree of the membrane-type tank, the rolling can improve the balance degree in the process of gas-liquid separation, and the sloshing has no effect on the operating performance of expanders.
