康菲石油推进天然气液化工艺

    中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气11月5日消息：为了应对日益增长的液化天然气市场，康菲石油公司推出了新的创新技术，以进一步增强其优化级联天然气液化工艺(即OCP技术)的功能，该技术目前已在全球27个加工厂获得许可。

    为了通过减少液化生产线的设备数量和占地面积以及大大精简模块化来降低总安装成本，这家总部位于德克萨斯州的公司开发了一种名为OCP Compass的新工厂配置。

    OCP Compass是与贝克休斯公司合作开发的，非常适合容量为1-3 MTPA的中型液化天然气应用，无论是单管柱还是双生产线一组的配置，都可以提供更高的容量、可用性和调节能力。

    康菲石油公司还表示，将授权使用其重型去除装置(HRU)技术OCP CryoSep，该技术可以回收重烃，并去除那些可能在液化装置中冻结或导致BTU含量过高的成分。

    除了OCP CryoSep之外，该公司还将授权其氮去除装置(NRU)技术OCP Nitro，以有效地从液化天然气过程中去除氮，实现产品规格和产量最大化。

    最后，康菲石油公司为获得OCP许可证的工厂开发了一种独特的软件解决方案OCP Navigator，以优化工厂的盈利能力、热效率和产量。该多功能软件系统利用定制的面向方程的模拟来帮助实时优化设施。

    ConocoPhillips advances gas liquefaction process

    In response to the growing LNG market, ConocoPhillips has launched new innovations to further enhance the functionality of its Optimised Cascade natural gas liquefaction process, or OCP™ technology, which is currently licensed in 27 processing trains worldwide.

    To lower total installed cost by reducing the liquefaction train’s equipment count and footprint, and greatly simplifying modularisation, the Texas-based company has developed a new plant configuration called OCP Compass.

    Developed in collaboration with Baker Hughes, the OCP Compass’ configurations are well suited for midscale LNG applications in the 1-to-3 MTPA capacity range, in either single-string or two-trains-in-one configurations to provide higher capacity, availability and turndown.

    ConocoPhillips also said it will license its heavy removal unit (HRU) technology, OCP CryoSep, which recovers heavy hydrocarbons and removes components that would otherwise freeze in the liquefaction unit or lead to excessive BTU content.

    In addition to the OCP CryoSep, the company will license its nitrogen removal unit (NRU) technology, OCP Nitro, to efficiently remove nitrogen from the LNG process, achieve product specifications and maximize production.

    Lastly, ConocoPhillips has developed a unique software solution, OCP Navigator, for OCP-licensed facilities to optimise plant profitability, thermal efficiency and production. This multifunctional software system utilises a customised equation-oriented simulation to help optimise the facility on a real-time basis.
