摘要:
Systems are disclosed herein for enhancing energy usage while pressurizing a carbonaceous gas. Such systems include a carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) liquefaction system (10). The CO 2 liquefaction system (10) includes a first cooling system (28) capable of cooling a CO 2 gas (74) to liquefy greater than approximately 50 percent of the CO 2 gas (74). The first cooling system (28) produces a first CO 2 liquid (30). The CO 2 gas (74) pressure is less than approximately 3450 kilopascals (500 pounds per square inch absolute).

摘要:
An air stream (100) is compressed in multiple stages (3a, 3b, 3c) using refrigeration derived from a refrigerant (166, 168) comprising natural gas for inter-stage cooling (4b, 4c). The possibility of natural gas leaking into the air stream is reduced by use of an intermediate cooling medium ("ICM") to transfer (4) the refrigeration from the refrigerant to the inter-stage air stream (102, 104). The compressed air stream can be fed to a cryogenic air separation unit (1) that includes an LNG-based liquefier unit (2) from which a cold natural gas stream is withdrawn for use as said refrigerant.
摘要:
A low temperature air separation process for producing pressurized gaseous product in an air separation unit using a system of distillation columns comprises cooling a compressed air stream to a heat exchange line (30) to form a compressed cooled air stream (3), sending at least part of the compressed, cooled air stream to a column (10) of the system, liquefying a process stream to form a first liquid product, storing at least part of the first liquid product in a storage tank (50), sending at least part (60) of the above first liquid product from the storage tank to the air separation unit as one of the feeds, extracting at least one second liquid product stream (6) from a column (11) of the column system and pressurizing the at least one second liquid product stream, vaporizing the above pressurized second liquid product stream to form pressurized gaseous product in the heat exchange line and extracting a cold gas (40) without warming it completely in the heat exchange line.

摘要:
A system for liquefying industrial gas wherein industrial gas is compressed to two levels using a first and a second compression system and then is processed in a heat exchanger having horizontally oriented sensible heat exchange passages and vertically oriented condensing heat exchange passages.
摘要:
Apparatus, systems, and methods store energy by liquefying a gas such as air, for example, and then recover the energy by regasifying the liquid and combusting or otherwise reacting the gas with a fuel to drive a heat engine. The process of liquefying the gas may be powered with electric power from the grid, for example, and the heat engine may be used to generate electricity. Hence, in effect these apparatus, systems, and methods may provide for storing electric power from the grid and then subsequently delivering it back to the grid.
摘要:
A process for the separation of air by cryogenic distillation operates either with a product ratio greater than 2.5 in which case nitrogen enriched liquid is sent from a storage tank (27) to the column system and feed air or nitrogen enriched gas (29) from the column system is compressed in a first compressor (33) having an inlet temperature of less than -50°C and then sent to the heat exchanger, or with a product ratio less than 2.5 in which case a second nitrogen rich gas removed from the column system is expanded in a turbine (73) having an inlet temperature lower than the ambient temperature or liquefied in a liquefier and nitrogen enriched liquid (57) is sent to the storage tank from the outlet of the turbine and/or from the column system and/or from the liquefier.
