Definitions
- This invention concerns processes and installations for providing gaseous carbon monoxide by cryogenic distillation.
- it concerns the supply of carbon monoxide by vaporisation of liquid carbon monoxide when an industrial installation, such as a separation unit, requires a rapidly increasing amount of gaseous carbon monoxide product.
- the CO liquid is removed before expansion and vaporized at the desired pressure (for example, that of the client's network).
- the amount of gaseous carbon monoxide produced can increase by at least 1 % per minute.
- an installation for supplying gaseous carbon monoxide by cryogenic distillation including:
- Optional features include:
- Figure 1 shows an apparatus for separating a mixture containing principally methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
- the mixture may also contain small amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, humidity, higher hydrocarbons, methanol, etc.
- This mixture is generally synthesis gas produced by a partial oxidation unit, a steam methane reformer, an auto thermal reformer, gasifier or any combination of these process schemes.
- the mixture 1 is purified in a front end purification unit to remove impurities. Then the mixture is cooled to a cryogenic temperature in heat exchangers 3, 5 and sent to the bottom of a methane wash column 7 operating at a pressure between 10 and 60 bars. A methane wash stream 9 is fed to the top of column 7 and a hydrogen enriched stream 11 is removed from the top of the column. From the bottom of the column is removed a liquid stream 13 enriched in carbon monoxide.
- Stream 13 is further treated before being sent to the stripping column 19 which operates at between 4 and 17 bars, at least one feed stream formed from stream 13 being sent to the top of stripping column 19. Alternatively if a methane stream is fed to the top of stripping column 19, the feed stream is fed thereto at a lower point.
- the gas 21 from the top of the stripping column is warmed in the exchangers 5,3 and is used as fuel or burnt.
- the liquid stream 23 from the bottom of the stripping column 19 is divided in two and may be further treated before being sent to the column 27. In particular, several feeds (liquid, dual phase, gaseous, in this case two liquid streams) at different levels may be provided to the column 27. Column 27 operates at between 1 and 10 bars, often around 2.5 bars.
- methane rich liquid 29 at the bottom of the column and a carbon monoxide rich gas 31 at the top of the column.
- Part of the methane rich liquid is pumped by pump 33 and sent to the top of the methane wash column 7 and the rest is removed as a purge stream.
- the two portions of the methane rich liquid may be removed separately from the column.
- the methane rich liquid is pumped by pump 33 and sent in part to the top of the methane wash column 7 and the remaining purge stream is warmed in heat exchangers 5, 3.
- the carbon monoxide rich product stream 31 removed from the top of column 27 is warmed in a heat exchanger 52 and then in heat exchanger 3, compressed in a compressor 35 and is removed as a compressed product gas 37.
- Refrigeration for the system is provided by a carbon monoxide cycle of which the compressor 35 forms part.
- the carbon monoxide is compressed in compressor 35 to a pressure of between 10 and 60 bars.
- Part of the compressed carbon monoxide 39 is further compressed in compressor 35A, then cooled in exchanger 3 to an intermediate temperature of the exchanger and then expanded in turbine 41.
- the expanded carbon monoxide gas is warmed in the exchanger 3 and recycled to the compressor 35 at the entry thereof or an intermediate pressure thereof.
- the unexpanded carbon monoxide 43 is divided into three parts, two of which, namely parts 51, 53, serve to reboil columns 9 and 11. Part 51 is sent to reboiler 55 of column 19 and part 53 is sent to the reboiler 57 of column 27.
- Stream 53 is entirely sent to top condenser and/or CO liquid storage capacity 47 of column 27 via open expansion valve V3. During normal operation, all of stream 51 is also sent to top condenser and/or CO liquid storage capacity 47 via open expansion valve V2, valve V1 being closed.
- the top condenser and/or CO storage liquid capacity 47 forms an integral part of the column 27 and additionally serves to provide reflux to the top of column 27 and to supply liquid carbon monoxide to cool an intermediate reboiler 49 of the methane wash column 7.
- a further part 59 of the unexpanded carbon monoxide 43 is cooled in exchangers 3, 5 and sent to the top condenser or storage 47 via expansion valve V5.
- part 59A of the carbon monoxide is sent via open valve V6, which is not an expansion valve, to vaporiser 54, replacing at least one of streams 51, 53 or in addition to at least one of these streams.
- part 51A or all of the liquid 51 may be vaporised in a vaporiser 54 upstream of the top condenser and/or CO liquid capacity 47 by opening valve V1 and at least partially closing valve V2. Since valve is not an expansion valve, the carbon monoxide stream sent to vaporiser 54 is produced substantially at the outlet pressure of compressor 35A, less the pressure drop in the conduits.
- the vaporiser 54 may either allow heat exchange with ambient air, water or steam if it is outside the cold box or may be within the cold box and may be constituted by the exchanger 5 or another heat exchanger.
- the vaporised carbon monoxide produced 55 is sent to a point downstream of the compressor 35 to form part of the product gas 37.
- valve V4 which is not an expansion valve and by at least partially closing valve V3 to allow stream 53A to flow to the vaporiser 54.
- the liquid to be vaporised 51, 53 is available at high pressure, ie a pressure higher than that of condenser (or storage) 47, the gas produced, by vaporisation in vaporiser 54, can be directly mixed with the product gas 37.
- Gaseous and liquid carbon monoxide are defined to be respectively a gas and a liquid containing at least 85% carbon monoxide, preferably at least 95% carbon monoxide.
- cryogenic separation processes for mixtures containing carbon monoxide and at least one of hydrogen, nitrogen and methane as principal components, for example processes to separate mixtures of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane such as the partial condensation process or processes for separating mixtures containing carbon monoxide and nitrogen only as principal components or processes including a nitrogen wash unit.
