Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process and an apparatus for the liquefaction of hydrogen, preferably integrated with the cryogenic separation of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
- the hydrogen is cooled and then liquefied in three stages:
- the heat exchange between 300K and 20K is done through brazed aluminum multi-passage plate heat exchangers.
- the passages corresponding to the flow of gas to be liquefied contain catalyst and allow continuous conversion of hydrogen until a para-hydrogen content greater than 95% is reached.
- the cooling down to approximately 80K is carried out in an enclosure thermally insulated with perlite.
- This cooling is carried out using a closed nitrogen cycle or with the cold of an addition of cryogenic liquid (usually liquid nitrogen) called in French “biberonnage", both consuming lot of energy.
- Cooling from approximately 80K to 20K takes place in a vacuum enclosure maintained at approximately 10 -6 mm Hg, with the equipment in the enclosure surrounded by multi-layer insulation.
- This cooling which includes liquefaction, is carried out using a hydrogen or helium cycle.
- a nitrogen cycle in particular, could not be used at such low temperatures.
- An object of the present invention is to reduce the energy consumption of the process and possibly to eliminate part of the equipment by eliminating the precooling step.
- a hydrogen liquefaction process integrated with the cryogenic separation of a first mixture (1) of hydrogen and another component in which:
- a flow rich in hydrogen is cooled in a second heat exchanger of the liquefier from a temperature greater than 103K, preferably greater than 0°C and the flow then cooled is cooled in the second heat exchanger heat, the hydrogen-rich gas is mixed with the hydrogen-rich stream having substantially the same pressure and composition as the hydrogen-rich gas and cooled in the second heat exchanger to the temperature of the hydrogen-rich gas to form a second mixture and the second mixture is liquefied either in the first heat exchanger or after cooling in the first heat exchanger to form liquid hydrogen.
- a hydrogen liquefaction apparatus comprising a liquefier comprising a first heat exchanger, a separation apparatus by distillation and/or exhaustion and/or partial condensation, means for sending a hydrogen-rich gas originating from the apparatus for separation by distillation and/or stripping and/or partial condensation at a temperature of at most 103K containing at least 99.9% mol of hydrogen, preferably at least 99.99%, mol of hydrogen or even at least 99.999% mol of hydrogen and at a pressure between 20 and 30 bars in the hydrogen liquefier, without having heated the hydrogen-rich gas to a temperature above 0°C and means for sending the hydrogen-rich gas is cooled from the temperature of at most 103K and at the pressure between 20 and 30 bars in the first heat exchanger characterized in that it comprises a second heat exchanger, means for sending a rich flow into hydrogen to be cooled in the second heat exchanger, means for mixing the hydrogen-rich gas with the hydrogen-rich stream cooled in the second heat exchanger
- the first exchanger is preferably located in a first thermally insulated enclosure and the second exchanger is located in a second thermally insulated enclosure, the point where the hydrogen-rich gas and the hydrogen-rich flow mix being located outside the first and second pregnant.
- the apparatus may comprise comprising a refrigeration cycle using helium or hydrogen to cool and optionally liquefy the second mixture.
- the means for liquefying the cooled gas to form liquid hydrogen can be constituted by the first heat exchanger and/or by expansion means downstream of the latter.
- the expansion means are preferably located in the same insulated enclosure as the heat exchanger but may be in a dedicated thermally insulated enclosure.
- phase separator 9 shows a process using a phase separator 9, a methane washing column 15, a stripping column 25 and a carbon monoxide and methane separation column 45, containing for example structured packings for the columns and capable of operate at cryogenic temperatures.
- the syngas 1 containing carbon monoxide, methane and carbon monoxide is purified into water and/or carbon dioxide in the purification unit 3 before arriving at the heat exchanger 7 where it cools to cryogenic temperature and partially condenses.
- the two phases are separated in a phase separator 9, to form a gas 11 enriched in hydrogen and a liquid depleted in hydrogen 13.
- the gas 11 is sent to the bottom of the methane scrubbing column 15 which produces a gas 19 enriched in hydrogen which heats up in the exchanger. Part of this gas 19 is used to regenerate the purification unit 3.
- At least one intermediate gas 210, 211 withdrawn from column 15 is cooled in a heat exchanger 23 by heat exchange with a process fluid, here the liquid 51.
- a top gas 27 from the stripping column contains at least 95% mol of hydrogen as well as carbon monoxide, nitrogen and methane. It is between 20 and 30 bars which is the operating pressure of column 25 and has a temperature between 103 and 120K.
- the gas 27 is not heated but is purified in an adsorption unit 29 operating at cryogenic temperatures to remove carbon monoxide and/or methane and/or nitrogen to provide a gas 31 capable of being liquefied. containing at least 99.9% mol of hydrogen, preferably at least 99.99% mol of hydrogen or even at least 99.999% mol of hydrogen.
- Such a purification is described in "The low temperature removal of small quantities of nitrogen or methane from hydrogen gas by physical adsorption on a synthetic zeolite", Kidnay et al, AIChE Journal, Vol 12, no. 1, January 1966.
- a liquid 33 taken from the bottom of the stripping column 25 cools in the exchanger 7 and is sent to the separation column 45. Another part of the same liquid 35 vaporizes in a bottom reboiler 37 and is returned to the bottom. of the exhaustion column.
- the separation column comprises several distillation separation sections and optionally a capacity 99. It has a bottom reboiler 73 which is used to heat the bottom liquid 75, the gas formed being returned to the bottom.
- the bottom liquid 77 enriched in methane is divided into two. Part 83 vaporizes in exchanger 7 to form fuel.
- the rest 85 is pressurized by a pump 87 and is sent to the top of the washing column 15.
- the overhead gas from column 43 enriched in carbon monoxide is sent to a product compressor 57 which produces a gas enriched in carbon monoxide 57.
- a portion of the gas enriched in carbon monoxide 61 is cooled and splits into two.
- Part 65 is expanded in a turbine 67 to supply cold.
- the expanded gas 89 is returned to the inlet of the compressor 57.
- the rest of the gas 69 continues its cooling in the exchanger 7 and is used to heat the reboilers 73 and 37 (flows 93 and 73).
- the gas used for reboiling is thus partially condensed and supplies as flow 97 capacity 99 at the head of separation column 45.
- Gas 41 from capacity 99 supplies compressor 57.
- Liquid 47 from capacity 99 is sent to a phase separator 49, the liquid 51 from the separator serves as refrigerant in the heat exchanger 23 to cool the intermediate gases 21A, 21B, 21C as well as the top gas 27 of the stripping column.
- a liquid withdrawn from the separation section of the separation column can replace liquid 47 or another process liquid.
- hydrogen 27 can be produced by a phase separator at between 20 and 30 bar abs in a partial condensation process associated or not with distillation.
- separation processes are also capable of supplying hydrogen at cryogenic temperature and pressure between 20 and 30 bar, for example the separation of purge gas from an ammonia production process.
- the hydrogen produced at low temperature and at a pressure between 20 and 30 bars can be purified in the thermally insulated enclosure in which the separation column and/or the phase separator from which it comes is located. Otherwise, and in particular in the case of the modification of an existing apparatus, the hydrogen can leave the enclosure where the separation column and/or the phase separator from which it comes and be sent by at least one pipe thermally insulated in an enclosure 102 containing the purification device to reduce its content of impurities, for example at least one of carbon monoxide, methane and nitrogen.
- impurities for example at least one of carbon monoxide, methane and nitrogen.
- the “cold” purification is a necessary step in order to eliminate all the impurities which could freeze along the exchange line which goes down to approximately 20K, and consequently clog the heat exchangers.
- TSA Temporal Swing Adsorption
- 80K where the adsorption capacity is high. Removing 2% or even 1% d impurities involves short cycles (a few hours) and a high regeneration rate.
- the gaseous purified hydrogen 27 leaves either the thermally insulated enclosure E in which the separation column and/or the phase separator C is located, from which it comes, or from a dedicated purification enclosure 102 at a pressure between 20 and 30 bar abs.
- This enclosure 104 contains a heat exchanger 101 with brazed aluminum multi-passage plates.
- the passages corresponding to the flow of gas to be liquefied contain catalyst and allow continuous conversion of hydrogen until a para-hydrogen content greater than 95% is reached.
- the enclosure 104 is under vacuum maintained at approximately 10 -6 mm Hg, the equipment inside the enclosure being surrounded by multilayer insulation. This cooling that takes place there includes liquefaction and is carried out using a hydrogen or helium cycle.
- the exchanger 101 may simply contain at least one passage for cooling and liquefying the hydrogen, all the hydrogen being produced in liquid form and removed as product 111, as well as the passages necessary for the refrigeration cycle or cycles.
- the purified hydrogen can be introduced at the hot end of the heat exchanger 101.
- the purified hydrogen is the only source of hydrogen to be liquefied or if all the hydrogen to be liquefied is available at the temperature of the hydrogen to be purified, no precooling will be necessary and the second conventional exchanger to cool hydrogen up to around 120K with its nitrogen cycle or other refrigerant will not be required.
- the second exchanger 103 will be present but preferably the purified hydrogen 27 coming from the low temperature separation will be mixed with the flow rich in hydrogen 127 cooled in the second exchanger outside the enclosure 106 of the second exchanger 103 and then the mixture formed will be cooled in the liquefaction heat exchanger 101 inside the enclosure 104.
- the hydrogen-rich flow 127 is cooled by traversing the second exchanger 103 from the hot end to the cold end and a common cycle 105 provides cold temperatures for the first and second exchangers while a cycle 107 provides cold temperatures only for the second exchanger 103.
- Hydrogen liquefaction as such can be:
- the invention can also be used by modifying an existing synthesis gas separation apparatus. Consideration should be given to increasing the size of the refrigeration cycle, the size of the turbines and the size of the cycle compressor coolers.
- liquid nitrogen bottle feeding can provide the cold temperatures necessary to extract one of the main products at subambient temperature.
- the synthesis gas 1 can be cooled at least partially in the heat exchanger 103 upstream of the separation.
- At least part of the apparatus for separation by distillation and/or exhaustion and/or partial condensation can be arranged in the same thermally insulated enclosure as the second heat exchanger.
- the hydrogen to be liquefied is usually expanded at the end of cooling in a turbine and/or a valve. This last step is not illustrated.
