Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting helium from natural gas through a membrane process. The method is used for extracting helium in natural gas and comprises the following steps: carryingout dehydrogenation pretreatment on feed gas by using a first dehydrogenator to obtain first gas; enabling the first gas to sequentially pass through multiple stages of permeable membranes, and sequentially performing helium separation on the first gas by using the multiple stages of permeable membranes to obtain crude helium; conveying the crude helium gas to a second dehydrogenator, and carrying out dehydrogenation post-treatment on the crude helium gas by using the second dehydrogenator to obtain second gas; and purifying the second gas to obtain helium. According to the method for extracting helium from natural gas through the membrane process, the permeable membranes are adopted, partial pressure differences of gas on the two sides of the permeable membranes function as driving force, and the purpose of gas separation is achieved through transfer rate differences, generated through the steps of dissolution, diffusion, analysis and the like, of components. Compared with a mode ofextracting helium by adopting a low-temperature condensation method in related technologies, the method provided by the invention does not need a low-temperature environment and can be carried out atnormal temperature, and therefore, energy consumption is effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosure relates to the technical field of natural gas processing, in particular to a method and equipment for extracting helium from natural gas by membrane method. Background technique [0002] At present, the process used to extract helium from natural gas is generally low-temperature condensation method. The process generally includes gas source pretreatment and purification, crude helium extraction and helium refining, etc. Among them, when the low-temperature condensation method is used for the extraction of helium, the nitrogen cycle refrigeration technology is generally used to meet the refrigeration temperature required in the helium extraction process. For the front-end raw material gas precooling scheme, according to the specific raw material gas quality conditions, expansion refrigeration, external refrigeration and expansion refrigeration + external refrigeration are adopted. Therefore, compared with the non-cryogenic helium extrac...
