초록
As the importance of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology increases for greenhouse gas reduction, CO2 transportation technology is also becoming crucial. Efficiently handling boil-off gas (BOG) generated during voyages is particularly important. This paper proposes a process incorporating two-stage separation and mixed refrigerants to reliquefy CO2 BOG containing nitrogen efficiently. This process was optimized based on specific power consumption (SPC) criteria and compared with the conventional single-stage separation using an ammonia refrigerant. The two-stage separation allows the removal of non-condensable gases, such as nitrogen, before expansion, and the use of mixed refrigerants enables more efficient heat exchange than ammonia refrigerants, improving the reliquefaction rate. As a result, the proposed process reduced SPC by up to 8.8 % with a nitrogen content of 5 mol% and up to 74.7 % with a nitrogen content of 15 mol%. In addition, the proposed process achieved a reliquefaction rate of over 74.2 % across all nitrogen content ranges of 5–15 mol%.
