Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural gas hydrate development and carbon dioxide sequestration technology, and in particular to a CH4-CO2 hydrate formation prediction system based on temperature and pressure synergistic regulation. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas hydrates (CH4 hydrates), as an important future energy source, are limited by the harsh low-temperature and high-pressure formation conditions and the risk of formation instability caused by extraction. Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrates, due to their high thermodynamic stability and environmentally friendly properties, have become an effective carrier for CO2 sequestration. Studies have shown that CO2 and CH4 coexisting can promote hydrate formation through a "displacement effect" or "co-nucleation" mechanism. However, existing technologies face the following limitations: traditional experimental setups cannot accurately simulate the dynamic processes of gas-liquid-solid multiphase systems, resulting in an unclear mechanism by which CO2 influences CH4 hydrate formation in miscible systems through lattice competition and interfacial tension changes; offline sampling can damage the original sample structure, and existing Raman spectroscopy systems lack the ability to capture transient spectral characteristics in the early stages of hydrate nucleation in real time due to the lack of high-pressure reaction chambers and dynamic temperature and pressure control; furthermore, existing technologies often control temperature or pressure parameters in isolation, ignoring the synergistic effect of gas-liquid miscibility on phase equilibrium, leading to significant differences between experimental conditions and real reservoir environments, thus hindering research on hydrate formation mechanisms and technological optimization.

This system integrates temperature and pressure regulation, gas-liquid miscibility optimization, and in-situ Raman monitoring, solving the problem of studying the promoting mechanism of CO2 on CH4 hydrate formation. In this embodiment, as...

The data feedback and optimization module receives temperature and pressure parameters, mixing ratios, and Raman spectral characteristic parameters in real time, dynamically adjusts experimental parameters, and performs intelligent optimization control of the system.
[0019] In the above embodiments, the temperature-pressure mixed-phase coordinated control module includes a high-precision temperature control unit, a dynamic pressure control unit, and a gas-liquid mixed-phase injection module.
[0020] The high-precision temperature control unit includes a double-layer constant temperature jacketed reaction chamber 17, which monitors the temperature gradient inside the double-layer constant temperature jacketed reaction chamber 17 in real time and transmits the real-time monitoring data to the data feedback and optimization module. A dynamic pressure control unit is used to control the injection pressure of CH4 gas 5, CO2 gas 3 and liquid 6 respectively; The gas-liquid mixed-phase injection module includes a microfluidic mixer, which is used to inject CH4 gas 5, CO2 gas 3 and liquid 6 into the microfluidic mixer respectively, and to perform controllable mixing under the control of the dynamic pressure regulation unit to generate a uniformly dispersed system.
[0021] In this embodiment, the inner layer of the double-layer thermostatic jacketed reaction chamber 17 is made of titanium alloy, and the outer layer integrates a semiconductor cooling chip 18, with a viewing window 25 provided on the outer layer. A pressure relief valve 23 is provided on the rear side of the double-layer thermostatic jacketed reaction chamber 17 for pressure relief after the experiment, facilitating disassembly of the reaction vessel. The viewing window 25 is made of sapphire, which can withstand high-pressure environments and provides good optical transmittance; preferably, the sapphire window has a thickness of 10 mm and a pressure resistance of 60 MPa.
[0022] The double-layered constant-temperature jacketed reaction chamber 17 is equipped with a detachable stirring paddle 27, the rotation speed of which can be adjusted within the range of 0~2000 rpm. The surface of the detachable stirring paddle 27 is hydrophobically treated to effectively reduce the interference of bubble bursting on the experiment. An ultrasonic transducer is also built into the double-layered constant-temperature jacketed reaction chamber 17 to enhance gas-liquid mass transfer and improve reaction efficiency.

The distributed fiber optic temperature sensor is installed inside the double-layer constant-temperature jacketed reaction chamber 17 to monitor the temperature gradient within the reaction chamber in real time and transmit the data to the Instec hot and cold stage intelligent temperature control system and the data feedback and optimization module. The Instec hot and cold stage intelligent temperature control system includes a main controller, a cold stage CNC display screen 20, and a circulating water tank 21. Based on the received temperature data, the main controller controls the semiconductor cooling chip 18 and the circulating water tank 21 to control the temperature of the double-layer constant-temperature jacketed reaction chamber 17, which is then displayed in real time on the cold stage CNC display screen 20. The temperature range controlled within the double-layer constant-temperature jacketed reaction chamber 17 is 30℃~60℃, with a fluctuation accuracy of ≤±0.05℃.
[0024] In this embodiment, the dynamic pressure control unit includes a three-channel servo motor 1, a CO2 high-pressure plunger pump 2, a CH4 high-pressure plunger pump 4, and an infusion pump 7. The three-channel servo motor 1 drives the CO2 high-pressure plunger pump 2, the CH4 high-pressure plunger pump 4, and the infusion pump 7, respectively. The CO2 high-pressure plunger pump 2 injects pressure into the CO2 gas cylinder 3, the CH4 high-pressure plunger pump 4 injects pressure into the CH4 high-pressure gas cylinder 5, and the infusion pump 7 injects pressure into the liquid (deionized water / saline) in the storage tank 6. In this embodiment, the purity of the CO2 gas in the CO2 gas cylinder 3 is ≥99.99%; the salinity of the saline is 0~5 wt%.
[0025] Proportional regulating valves 23 are installed on the pipelines between the CO2 high-pressure plunger pump 2 and the CO2 cylinder 3, the pipelines between the CH4 high-pressure plunger pump 4 and the CH4 high-pressure cylinder 5, and the pipelines between the infusion pump 7 and the storage tank 6. The three pumps (CO2 high-pressure plunger pump 2, CH4 high-pressure plunger pump 4 and infusion pump 7) are linked with the proportional regulating valves 23 to ensure dynamic adjustment within the pressure range of 0.1~50 MPa. The linkage structure adopted in this embodiment effectively improves the system's response speed and control accuracy, and reduces energy loss.
[0026] In use, the system can achieve precise pressure adjustment through the control of the three-channel servo motor 1, with an accuracy of ±0.01 MPa.
[0027] In this embodiment, the gas-liquid mixed-phase injection module includes a microfluidic mixer 14 and an online conductivity meter and gas mass spectrometer 19. The microfluidic mixer 14 has a CO2 gas inlet, a CH4 gas inlet, and a liquid inlet. The two gas inlets are connected to a CO2 cylinder 3 and a CH4 high-pressure cylinder 5, respectively, and the liquid inlet is connected to a storage tank 6. A CO2 pressure gauge 8 is installed at the CO2 gas inlet, a CH4 pressure gauge 9 is installed at the CH4 gas inlet, and a hydraulic gauge 10 is installed at the liquid inlet. The online conductivity meter and gas mass spectrometer 19 are connected to the microfluidic mixer 14 for real-time monitoring of the composition of the mixed system within the microfluidic mixer 14. The microfluidic mixer 14 is also connected to a double-layered constant-temperature jacketed reaction chamber 17 via piping for inputting a uniformly dispersed gas-liquid system into the reaction chamber.
[0028] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the microfluidic mixer 14 adopts a T-joint structure, and its internal channels are configured as serpentine channels 15. The gas lines at the CO2 gas inlet and the CH4 gas inlet intersect at a 90° angle, and both gas inlets have a diameter of 0.3 mm; the liquid inlet is perpendicular to the gas channels, has a diameter of 0.5 mm, and is configured with a tapered converging structure 11 (preferably, the cone angle of the tapered converging structure 11 is 15°) to accelerate liquid flow.
[0029] A micro-serrated structure 13 is installed downstream of the T-junction junction (i.e., at the CH4 gas inlet) as a vortex generator. This structure generates micro-vortices through periodic perturbation, thereby enhancing the initial dispersion of the gas and liquid phases to achieve controllable mixing from laminar to turbulent flow, resulting in a uniformly dispersed system. Preferably, the micro-serrated structure 13 has a tooth height of 50 μm and a tooth pitch of 100 μm.
[0030] In the above embodiments, the in-situ Raman spectroscopy module includes a double-layered isothermal jacketed reaction chamber 17, a Raman spectroscopy system, and a computer and numerical control system 22. The Raman spectroscopy system is used for in-situ high-precision monitoring of the double-layered isothermal jacketed reaction chamber 17 during the hydrate formation process, and transmits the monitored spectral data to the computer and numerical control system 22. The computer and numerical control system 22 is equipped with a signal processing and modeling unit to realize real-time online analysis of spectral data and component ratios.
[0031] In this embodiment, the Raman spectroscopy system includes an integrated confocal micro Raman probe 26 and a laser source 16, which are mounted on the same horizontal plane as the double-layered thermostatically controlled reaction chamber 17. The laser source 16 provides a laser source for the confocal micro Raman probe 26, supplying lasers of different wavelengths to the sapphire window 25 of the double-layered thermostatically controlled reaction chamber 17 to alternately excite the sample, and the spectral signals are acquired by the confocal micro Raman probe 26.
[0032] Specifically, the laser source 16 employs a dual-wavelength laser source, preferably a 532 nm laser, to excite the CH bond stretching vibration of CH4 (characteristic peak at 2917 cm⁻¹). - ¹), using a 785 nm laser to match the Fermi resonance double peaks (1388 / 1285 cm⁻¹) of CO₂. - ¹), effectively avoiding fluorescence interference. The power of the two lasers is adjustable, with the 532 nm laser power range of 0~100 mW and the 785 nm laser power range of 0~150 mW, and they are coupled to the same optical path through a beam splitter (50:50 beam splitting ratio).
[0033] The confocal micro-Raman probe 26 employs a microscope objective; this objective is a 50x long working distance objective with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.55, a working distance of 10.6 mm, and a spatial resolution of 1 μm, capable of focusing on micro-regions (diameter ≤ 2 μm) at the gas-liquid interface. The confocal optical path of the confocal micro-Raman probe 26 uses a 25 μm pinhole aperture, effectively suppressing defocus signals and improving the signal-to-noise ratio by over 20 dB.
[0034] In terms of dynamic signal processing, the Raman signal acquired by the confocal micro Raman probe 26 is transmitted to the spectrometer through an optical fiber with a core diameter of 50 μm and a numerical aperture of 0.22. The spectral data is synchronized to the signal processing and modeling unit in the computer and numerical control system 22 at a frequency of 100 Hz.
[0035] The confocal Raman microscope probe 26 also features three-dimensional scanning capabilities, equipped with an XYZ three-axis motorized translation stage, a positioning accuracy of ±0.1 μm, and a preset spiral scanning path (5 μm step size), capable of generating spatial distribution maps of hydrates. The autofocus function, based on reflected light intensity feedback, dynamically adjusts the objective lens focal length with a response time of less than 100 ms, ensuring stable focus of the light spot at the interface. The confocal Raman microscope probe 26 used in this embodiment has a resolution of 1 μm, and laser wavelengths include 532 nm (for CH4C-H bond vibration) and 785 nm (for the CO2 Fermi resonance band). The spectral acquisition frequency can reach up to 100 Hz, covering a wavenumber range of 100–4000 cm⁻¹. - ¹.
[0036] In this embodiment, the signal processing and modeling unit is composed of a convolutional neural network (CNN). The preprocessing unit performs baseline correction and normalization on the obtained Raman spectrum, and automatically identifies CH4 (2917 cm⁻¹). - ¹), CO2 (1388 cm³) - ¹) and hydrate cage-like structure (OH vibration 3100~3700 cm) -¹) Characteristic peaks were identified, and a quantitative regression model (error < 2%) was established between the CO2 / CH4 molar ratio and the integral value of the characteristic peak area. The optimal model was obtained after the model was validated by the training set and the test set (7:3 ratio), realizing real-time online analysis of spectral data to component ratios.
[0037] When in use, the computer and CNC system 22 automatically identifies the CH4 / CO2 characteristic peaks, calculates the molar ratio (with an error of less than 2%), and associates the hydrate crystal form (sI / sII) classification with an accuracy of over 95%.
[0038] In the above embodiments, the data feedback and optimization module consists of a computer and a numerical control system 22. It receives temperature and pressure parameters, miscibility ratio, and Raman spectral characteristics in real time, and dynamically adjusts the temperature and pressure setpoints through a built-in PID-PSO (particle swarm optimization) algorithm to optimize experimental conditions. It predicts the hydrate formation rate threshold and feeds the results back to the gas-liquid miscibility injection module to dynamically adjust the CO2 injection ratio, thereby achieving intelligent optimization control of the system.
[0039] The following examples further illustrate the real-time process of the present invention. Specifically, it is achieved through the coordinated operation of the temperature-pressure miscibility control module, the in-situ pull-out measurement module, and the data feedback and optimization module.
[0040] First, the operator sets the experimental parameters through the human-machine interface of the computer and CNC system 22, including the target temperature (e.g., 4℃), pressure (e.g., 10 MPa), gas mixing ratio (e.g., CH4:CO2=7:3) and liquid phase salinity (e.g., 3 wt% NaCl). The temperature-pressure-mixing coordinated control module is then activated: the semiconductor cooling chip 18 of the high-precision temperature control unit uses the Peltier effect to adjust the temperature of the double-layer titanium alloy reaction chamber through the PID algorithm, and the distributed fiber optic sensor monitors the temperature gradient inside the chamber in real time to ensure that the axial temperature difference is ≤0.03℃ / cm; the three-channel servo motor 1 of the dynamic pressure control unit drives the CH4 and CO2 high-pressure gas pumps 4 (2) and the saline infusion pump 7 respectively, and adjusts the flow rate with the proportional regulating valve 23 to stabilize the pressure within the set value ±0.01 MPa range. The gas-liquid mixed phase injection module realizes the controllable mixing of gas and liquid phases through the microfluidic mixer 14, in which the laminar flow zone of the serpentine channel 15 (Re=80) promotes molecular diffusion, and the turbulent zone of the T-shaped section structure of the microfluidic mixer 14 (Re=500) uses vortex to break the phase interface. The online conductivity meter and mass spectrometer 19 monitor the salinity and gas ratio of the mixed liquid in real time and output a uniformly dispersed system (droplet D32=20±5 μm).
[0041] The in-situ Raman spectroscopy module is activated simultaneously: the sapphire window 25 of the high-pressure resistant reaction chamber 17 allows the confocal micro Raman probe 26 (50× objective, NA=0.55) to focus on the gas-liquid interface. Dual-wavelength lasers (532 nm / 50 mW and 785 nm / 120 mW) alternately excite the sample, and a low-temperature CCD detector (cooled to -70℃) acquires spectral signals at a frequency of 100 Hz, covering wavenumbers from 100 to 4000 cm⁻¹. - ¹; The ultrasonic transducer (1 MHz) operates in pulse mode to enhance mass transfer efficiency, and the hydrophobic stirring paddle 27 (500 rpm) suppresses bubble coalescence. The signal processing and modeling unit in the computer and numerical control system 22 performs baseline correction (airPLS algorithm) and normalization on the original spectrum, and automatically identifies CH4 (2917 cm⁻¹) through a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN). - ¹), CO2 (1388 cm³) - ¹) and the OH vibration peak of hydrate (3100~3700 cm⁻¹) - ¹), and calculate the integral value of the characteristic peak area to establish a quantitative regression model of the CO2 / CH4 molar ratio (error < 2%). The model output is transmitted to the data feedback module in real time.
[0042] The data feedback and optimization module dynamically adjusts system parameters based on a PID-PSO hybrid algorithm: In the initial stage, the PID controller maintains steady-state conditions (e.g., 4℃±0.05℃, 10 MPa±0.01 MPa). When the CH4 peak area growth rate is detected to be >2% / min, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is activated to maximize the hydrate formation rate. It searches for temperature-pressure-miscibility parameter combinations (e.g., heating to 4.2℃, depressurizing to 9.5 MPa, and increasing the CO2 percentage to 40%), and executes the adjustment command through the proportional control valve 23 in conjunction with the servo motor 1. If the pressure drops suddenly >0.1 MPa / min or the temperature gradient >0.2℃ / cm, the system triggers a three-level safety mechanism: the electronic pressure relief valve 24 opens instantaneously to release pressure, the power of the semiconductor cooling chip 18 is adaptively adjusted, and the stirring speed is increased to 800 rpm to restore mass transfer balance.
[0043] After the experiment was terminated, the system was automatically depressurized to atmospheric pressure (at a rate of 0.5 MPa / min), and the temperature-pressure curve, spectral sequence, and optimization log were exported.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
