Definitions
- the invention relates to low temperature liquefied gas storage tanks, in particular tanks intended to receive liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquid oxygen ... It is particularly applicable to high capacity tanks (several thousand m 3 ), used in liquefaction plants for these gases, or LNG receiving terminals.
- LNG liquefied natural gas
- high capacity tanks hundredseveral thousand m 3
- FIG. 1 shows a sectional view illustrating the main characteristics of the tanks currently used to store these liquefied gases.
- These tanks are generally of cylindrical shape and comprise the following elements:
- a cylindrical cryogenic steel tank (1) the bottom of which rests, via an insulating layer (2) (generally consisting of blocks of glass foam, expanded foam or even plywood boxes filled with powdery or fibrous insulation), on a raft, typically concrete, (3) and whose vertical walls rest on an insulating concrete crown (4).
- the vertical walls of the tank are surrounded by a thermal insulation consisting of a powder of expanded glass beads (6) and a layer of rock wool or glass (5).
- This resilient layer of fibrous insulation wool has the function of absorbing the movements of expansion and contraction of the tray and thus prevent cavities form in the volume of expanded glass beads and degrade the thermal performance.
- a circular ring (8) is usually placed at the top of it.
- This ring is also isolated by a volume of rock wool or glass (7), above which is an additional volume (25) of expanded glass beads which, filled during construction, serves to compensate for possible settlement of this material and thus avoid a lack of insulation.
- various barriers generally metal barriers (9) and (11) are put in place, as well as one or more flexible seals (10) which are porous to the gases and generally made of glass fabrics.
- the tank is surrounded by a circular enclosure (16) and a roof (17), generally made of concrete , gas-tight and thus forming a barrier that can contain the liquid contained in the tray.
- the wall (16) and the raft (3) in addition, sometimes have the role of a second seal liquefied gas to contain it in case of leakage tray (1).
- the roof (17) of the tank is insulated by a suspended ceiling (12) which supports a thickness of insulation (14), usually made of rock wool or glass.
- the tank is equipped with various equipment and conduits for filling, emptying, pressure control and monitoring, which we have shown, in a simplified way, that the duct (15) and the watertight roof penetration (18) for vapors escaping from the liquid.
- the liquefied gas contained in the tank is maintained at a pressure generally slightly above atmospheric pressure, and mud constantly, under the effect of the various thermal inputs.
- the gas vapors are evacuated via the conduit (15) and the bushing (18) to the outside.
- the annular volumes (5), (6), (7) and (25) between the vertical walls of the tank (1) and the concrete vertical wall (16) - the volume (2) between the bottom of the tank (1) ) and the raft (3) are all in communication with each other and are filled with gas vapors contained in the tray (1).
- the thermal inputs are essentially related to the solid conductivity of the materials used, it will be noted that, on the underside, the sides and the top of the tank, these thermal inputs will also be substantially dependent on the thermal conductivity of these vapors, the insulating materials occupying these volumes having the role of avoiding radiative and convective exchanges in these volumes of insulation.
- the object of the present invention is to replace the gas vapors present in these volumes with a gas having a substantially lower thermal conductivity: argon, in order to significantly improve the thermal performance of the tank and reduce its rate of evaporation. 3. Presentation of the invention
- the argon vapors have a thermal conductivity of several tens of percent less than that of the other gases.
- Figure 2 illustrates how these two properties can be used to improve the state of the art of these tanks.
- the methane or oxygen vapors, initially present, may also be replaced by argon by evacuating via one or more conduits (37) passing through the raft (3) and opening into the top of the volume (2).
- This duct (37) will also be used to evacuate any excess argon and thus avoid overpressure if the volume (2) is not connected, moreover, to the volume (5) via one or more ducts (36) to through the insulating concrete crown (4).
- the argon injected into the gaseous dome (27) above the suspended ceiling (12), to replace with this gas the oxygen or methane vapors initially present in the space insulation (14), will flow, by gravity effect, in the tank containing the liquefied gas, where it will either be dissolved in the mass of stored liquid gas or escape through the conduit (18) and will be lost without fulfilling the purpose of filling the volume of insulation (14) with argon.
- a tank designed according to the innovation will have the following characteristics: - the suspended ceiling (12) will be designed to be gas-tight to argon vapors; - a flexible membrane (13) designed to be argon vapor tight while allowing the mechanical decoupling of the ceiling (12) with the ring (8) or the barrier (9) will be installed on the perimeter of the ceiling (12) .
- the volumes (25) and (27) will only be partially filled with argon, the boundaries (20) and (22) between the argon vapors and those of the gas contained in the tank (1). displacing not only according to the quantities of argon injected but also according to the evolution of the temperature and the pressure in the volumes of insulation.
- the low level will correspond to the case of a tank full of liquid, for which the temperature of the isolation spaces is the lowest, at least, will be just above that of the insulation (14) of the suspended ceiling , so that the thermal inputs in the liquid gases are minimal;
- the high level will correspond to the case of a tank at the end of emptying, or empty, for which the temperature of the isolation spaces is the highest, and ideally, will be, with regard to the volume (27), at most, just below the baffle (23) to avoid argon losses by driving outward into the conduit (18).
- the amount of argon in the insulation volumes can be adjusted via the lines (19), (29), (33), (34), (35), ( 37) by connecting it with an auxiliary device for storing or supplying this gas (for example, using a pressurized capacity and a compressor for storing or supplying argon, or a buffer capacity, no shown in the figures).
- This system for managing the quantities of argon present in the insulation volumes can advantageously be obtained by sampling and analyzing the gases present at different locations or, as illustrated in FIG. 2, by differential pressure sensors (39), ( 40) and (41) which will measure the difference in hydrostatic pressure between two columns of gas:
- valve systems (28) can be installed in the suspended ceiling to prevent it from having to undergo the large variations in pressure difference between the volumes (26) and (27) that this kind of incident can generate. These valves will normally be closed and sealed against argon trapped above the suspended ceiling (12), and will open only when necessary.
- valves (28) it will be possible to equip the ceiling (12) with sealed conduits (32) opening above the highest position of the boundary (22) between the argon and the vapors of the contained gas in the bin (1). In this way, in the normal regime, because of the effect of gravity, argon can not flow through its ducts, whereas, in case of roll over, the two volumes (26) and (27) will remain in communication which will limit a possible difference of pressure.
- the volume (27) located above the ceiling (12) can be supplied with argon from the volume (25). via inclined or non-inclined ducts (21) which will cause gravity flow of argon from this volume (25) to the volume (27) as soon as the argon level (20) is at their height, passing above the game (31). So we can, advantageously, use the same source of argon to supply the volumes
- the volume (25) can advantageously be fed from the volume (27) by orienting these ducts (21) in the other direction.
- the pipe (34) will argon supply the volume (27) through the roof (17).
- This additional 2500 m will therefore move by filling the volume (25) and then discharge via the ducts (21) or (42) to gaseous dome (27).
- volume of argon vapor trapped above the ceiling (12) in the volume (14) will increase from 2300 to about 3500 m 3 .
- the total expansion of the gaseous volume of argon will be of the order of 3700 m3 which will generate a movement up the border (22) of approximately 1 m, well below the available height between the ceiling (12) and the roof (17) which is, at least, of the order of 2 to 3 m.
- This transfer compressor can also be used, in the other direction, to bring argon to the gaseous dome (27) during the heating of the insulation volumes.
- the pressure in the gaseous dome of the reservoir is not constant and can evolve in a range of a few tens of mbar.
- These pressure variations will also cause variations in argon volume of a few percent, which can easily be absorbed by moving a few tens of centimeters up or down the border (22). ) between the argon and the vapors of the gas contained in the tank (1), and without having to store outside the tank excess argon escaping volumes of insulation, the volume of argon trapped above the ceiling (12) serving expansion volume.
- This invention can be applied to new tanks but also to existing tanks, provided to modify the ceiling (12) to make argon tight to prevent it from pouring by gravity into the gas (26).
- the invention also has the advantage of filling the isolation spaces with a non-hazardous gas. dangerous surrounding the storage tank of an inert gas space.
