摘要:

乙烯装置深冷分离过程需要制冷系统提供不同温度级位的冷能,而低温LNG在加热和汽化过程中会释放出大量的冷能。文中研究了LNG接收站和乙烯装置的冷量集成,提出使用携带LNG冷能的中间冷媒在乙烯装置内替代部分乙烯和丙烯冷剂,降低压缩机功率,从而降低乙烯装置能耗。以某1 200 kt/a乙烯装置为例,使用-80 ℃中间冷媒在装置内梯级换热替代部分乙烯和丙烯冷剂,冷媒使用量约800 t/h,可降低丙烯制冷压缩机功率约11 600 kW,降低乙烯制冷压缩机功率约1 500 kW,乙烯装置的单位能耗(标油)降低约25 kg/t乙烯。

Abstract:

The cyrogenic separation process of ethylene plant requires the refrigeration system to provide cold energy at different temperature levels, and the low temperature LNG releases large amounts of cold energy during heating and vaporization. This paper studies the cold energy integration of LNG terminal and ethylene plant. It is proposed to use the cold medium carrying LNG cold energy to replace the ethlyene and propylene refrigerants in ethylene plant, so as to reduce the compressor power and reduce the energy consumption of ethylene plant. In a 1,200 kt/a ethlyene plant, -80℃ cold medium is used to replace part of the ethlyene and propylene refrigerants, and the cold medium consumption is about 800 t/h. Compared to the ethlyene plant of the same capacity, the power of propylene refrigeration compressor is reduced by 11,600 kW and the power of ethylene refrigeration compressor is reduced by 1,500 kW, therefore the unit energy comsumption of ethylene plant is reduced by 25 kg EO/t ethylene.
