Description

Multi-stage separation gas purification equipment Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas purification equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-stage separation gas purification device. Background Technology

[0002] Heterogeneous gas purification technology is widely used in human life and industrial production. As industry standards and production processes tighten their requirements for the content of relevant gas components, and as new materials and technologies emerge, the requirements for gas purification equipment are constantly increasing.

[0003] Natural gas extracted during oil and gas production contains certain components of liquid impurities such as water and heavy hydrocarbons, as well as harmful elements like sulfur and chlorine. If these impurities are not removed to below acceptable levels, they can negatively impact subsequent gas processing. For example, impurities can scale and clog valves and pipelines; they can form highly corrosive acids upon contact with water, corroding equipment and creating safety hazards; and toxic impurities can reduce product purity. Furthermore, the presence of non-gaseous impurities reduces the transport capacity of the target product, leading to increased transportation energy consumption and operating costs. In nuclear energy utilization, ensuring high-quality steam enters the turbine is crucial. Liquid water in high-temperature steam can corrode the turbine and must be completely removed before it enters the turbine; otherwise, it will significantly affect the turbine's energy conversion efficiency. Additionally, production processes in refining, thermal power, and building materials industries generate large quantities of complex waste gases, which must be strictly discharged according to standards to ensure good air quality.

[0004] Cyclone separators offer advantages such as low pressure drop, simple structure, and good separation effect, making them widely used in gas-liquid separation processes. However, due to their reliance on inertial separation, they suffer from problems such as small droplet and / or dust entrainment in practical applications, failing to meet increasingly stringent process requirements. Therefore, cyclone separators are typically used as primary coarse separators, followed by multiple stages of separators and dryers in series. This results in numerous gas processing devices, complex processes, and large footprints. Especially in confined spaces such as offshore platforms, gas purification equipment must be highly efficient and energy-saving while maintaining the compactness of related process equipment. The performance of widely used demisters, such as corrugated plate demisters and wire mesh demisters, is limited by parameters such as gas velocity and impurity particle size, resulting in limited operational flexibility.

[0005] Patent CN216677698U discloses a porous jet scrubbing tower. Its working principle is as follows: the gas to be treated is introduced into a gas distribution unit through an inlet pipe. This unit distributes the gas into different gas pipes. The outlet of each gas pipe is below the surface of the washing solution and has multiple vents. The gas flowing out of the vents is divided into multiple paths, fully contacts the washing solution, overflows from the surface, and is discharged from the exhaust pipe to the next unit. This patent uses wet scrubbing to remove solid and gaseous impurities from the gas. The gas distribution unit, branch pipes, and porous connectors increase the contact area between the gas and the washing solution. However, the waste liquid generated during gas purification is difficult to treat, increasing the operating cost of gas purification. When the gas flow rate is high and the temperature is high, the washing solution may be carried out of the equipment, making it unsuitable for applications requiring high humidity.

[0006] US Patent 20220163245A1 discloses a novel gas-liquid separation device, including a cylinder, external interfaces, an adapter, and a gas-liquid separation assembly. The cylinder has a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber, and the external interfaces include a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface, enabling two operating states: one inlet and one outlet, or one inlet and two outlets. This patent allows for flexible adjustment of its operating state according to the requirements of different working environments. However, this device has many moving parts, making it unable to operate stably under harsh conditions such as high particulate matter content, resulting in problems such as high operational difficulty and high maintenance costs.

[0007] Patent US10830431B2 discloses a two-stage steam / water separator, primarily used in direct-flow steam generator systems in the nuclear power industry. Steam enters the first separation space tangentially, where it undergoes first-stage steam / water separation through swirling action. Water is separated and collects at the bottom of the container, then exits the separator through a drain outlet. The steam separated in the first stage rises through a riser, passes through a herringbone corrugated plate demister, and exits the separator, completing the second-stage steam / water separation. This patent uses a swirling cylinder and corrugated plates connected in series to achieve gas-liquid separation. Centrifugal separation can separate particles as small as 20 μm. Although a corrugated demister is subsequently installed, the separation efficiency is low, failing to address the entrainment of small droplets and / or dust. Furthermore, this demister has stringent requirements on gas flow rate and a narrow operating range. Summary of the Invention

The exit angle of the guide vanes is preferably 15° to 35°. The beam tube maintains the swirling intensity of the gas, facilitating the centrifugal separation of subsequent impurities, such as liquids and / or solid particles, like droplets and / or dust. The length of the beam tube depends on the size of the particulate impurities (such as droplets and / or dust) in the gas. When the median particle size of the impurities is greater than 20 μm, the height of the beam tube is preferably 1d to 3d, where d is the diameter of the beam tube.
