[0002] Natural gas hydrate is a kind of non-fixed crystal cage-shaped solid compound generated under high pressure and low temperature conditions, and is used to store and transport natural gas in the form of hydrate, and has the advantages of high efficiency, safety, energy saving, environmental protection and the like. 3 Natural gas hydrate can be decomposed into 164-180m 3 of natural gas, and according to this, it can be estimated that about 1.8x10 6 -2.1x10 6 m 3 of natural gas is contained in the global natural gas hydrate, which is equivalent to twice the total amount of carbon in the global proven conventional fossil fuels. Therefore, it is possible for natural gas hydrate to replace conventional fossil fuels in the future.
[0003] At present, it is found that when the amount of hydrate in the reactor is large, due to the four-phase equilibrium of hydrate-water-ice-gas in the system during the decomposition process, a decomposition buffer phenomenon occurs, which greatly reduces the overall decomposition rate of the hydrate. In addition, there are few studies on the continuous vaporization device and method of natural gas hydrate, and the main problem is to prevent the rapid and large release of gas during the vaporization process of natural gas hydrate, and the sudden increase in pressure and a large amount of natural gas affects the stability of the entire continuous production process.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a hydrate continuous vaporization device.
[0006] Specifically, the hydrate continuous vaporization device comprises an ice breaking unit and a vaporization unit, and the ice breaking unit and the vaporization unit are communicated through a plurality of connecting channels;
[0007] The ice breaking unit is provided with a hydrate slurry inlet at the bottom, and a plurality of rotating shovel discs are arranged in the ice breaking unit from bottom to top, and each rotating shovel disc corresponds to a connecting channel port;
[0008] The circulation cooling water outlet, the backflush water inlet, the hydrate filter plate, the tray, the connecting channel interface, the spraying water inlet and the gas outlet are sequentially arranged in the vaporization unit from bottom to top.
[0009] Further, the ice breaking unit and the vaporization unit are both vertically arranged cylindrical structures.
[0010] Further, the connecting channel has a certain inclination angle, so that the ice breaking unit connecting channel interface is higher than the vaporization unit connecting channel interface. The inclination angle (i.e. the angle between the connecting channel and the horizontal plane) is generally 10°-60°, preferably 15°-45°. The connecting channel can be one or several, preferably two or more.
[0011] Further, the several connecting channels have different heights, i.e. the several connecting channels have openings or interfaces at different heights in the ice breaking unit and the vaporization unit, respectively.
[0012] Further, in the hydrate continuous vaporization device, the lower end of the outlet of the connecting channel in the vaporization unit is fixedly connected with the tray, and the inclination angle of the tray is the same as that of the connecting channel. The lower end (or the lower end) of the tray is provided with a notch as a dropping port, so that the slurry can flow onto the lower tray. Each connecting channel outlet is connected with a tray. Between the two adjacent connecting channel outlet trays, there is an opposite tray, the inclination direction of which is opposite to that of the adjacent tray, the high end of the tray is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the vaporization unit, and the low end of the tray is provided with a dropping port (notch) as a slurry flow channel.
[0013] Further, in the hydrate continuous vaporization device, the spraying water inlet is located at the upper part of the vaporization unit and is connected to the inside of the vaporization unit through a side water pipe. The spraying device can use a liquid distributor known in the art to achieve uniform spraying of the spraying water and ensure basic coverage of the tray cross section in the vaporization unit.
[0014] Further, in the hydrate continuous vaporization device, the rotating shovel disc is composed of rotating shafts and shovel discs. The rotating shafts are vertically perpendicular to the connecting channels, and the rotating shafts are arranged in parallel with each other.

[0016] Further, in the hydrate continuous vaporization device, the hydrate filter plate is arranged at the bottom of the vaporization unit, generally at 1 / 5-1 / 4 of the vertical height of the bottom, and is oppositely inclined to the lowermost tray. That is, the filter plate is oppositely inclined to the lowermost tray. The filter structure on the hydrate filter plate is one or a combination of a filler structure, a wire mesh structure or a screen mesh structure, which is used to filter the hydrate slurry, so that the water produced after the decomposition of the hydrate and the spray water enter the bottom of the vaporization unit through the filter plate. The lower end of the filter plate is provided with a backflush water inlet, and a part of the filtered water can enter the filter plate in the vaporization unit through the backflush water inlet. The filtered water is opposite to the slurry flow direction, which prevents the slurry from accumulating on the filter plate and disperses the accumulated slurry at the bottom, thereby increasing the vaporization efficiency.
[0017] Further, in the hydrate continuous vaporization device, the circulating cooling water outlet is located at the bottom of the vaporization unit, and the liquid holdup of the vaporization unit is adjusted by a flow valve.
[0018] According to a second aspect of the present application, the present application provides a mixed gas hydrate continuous vaporization and separation system, which comprises the above-mentioned hydrate continuous vaporization device.
[0019] Specifically, the continuous vaporization and separation system comprises a mixed gas cooler, a hydrate reactor, a hydrate continuous vaporization device, a gas pump, a water pump and a solar water collecting tank. The mixed gas feed pipeline is connected with the mixed gas cooler, and then connected with the gas-liquid mixing nozzle on the feed inlet of the hydrate reactor. The hydrate slurry outlet of the hydrate reactor is connected with the slurry inlet of the hydrate continuous vaporization device through a pipeline. The circulating cooling water outlet of the hydrate continuous vaporization device is connected with the gas-liquid mixing nozzle on the feed inlet of the hydrate reactor and the water inlet of the solar water collecting tank, respectively. The spray water inlet of the hydrate continuous vaporization device is connected with the water outlet of the solar water collecting tank through the water pump.
[0020] Further, the gas pump is connected with the gas outlet of the vaporization unit, and the water pump is connected with the spray water inlet of the solar water collecting tank and the vaporization unit.
[0021] Further, in the vaporization and separation system, the hydrate reactor is provided with a first gas outlet at the top, and is provided with a gas-liquid mixing nozzle, a contact baffle and a hydrate reaction tray from top to bottom inside the reactor, and is provided with a hydrate slurry outlet at the bottom. The hydrate reactor is provided with a back pressure valve.
[0022] Further, the back pressure valve is set to a pressure of 0.5-8 MPa.
[0023] Further, in the vaporization separation system, the outlet of the circulating cooling water of the continuous vaporization device is located at the bottom of the vaporization unit, and is connected to the liquid inlet of the gas-liquid mixing nozzle through a three-way pipe.
[0024] Further, in the vaporization separation system, the spray water inlet of the continuous vaporization device is located at the top of the vaporization unit, and is connected to the inside of the vaporization unit through a side water pipe. The spray device can use a liquid distributor known in the art, which can realize uniform spraying of the spray water and ensure that the vaporization unit is basically covered.
[0025] Further, the gas outlet has a gas pump to extract gas, and a three-way pipe and a flow control valve are used to inject a certain volume of gas into the bottom of the hydrate reactor to increase the reaction pressure and promote the reaction balance.
[0026] Further, in the vaporization system, the rotation directions of the adjacent two groups of rotating shovels in the ice breaking unit are the same, and when one of the shovels in the upper group of rotating shovels is operated to the vertical direction and points downward to the rotating shaft of the adjacent rotating shovel in the lower group, the position should coincide with the midline of the two adjacent shovels in the lower group of rotating shovels. The ratio of the distance between the two groups of rotating shafts to the radius of the shovel is 1.732~2.828:1, so as to ensure that the two groups of rotating shovels will not collide mechanically. The rotation speeds of the two shovels are the same, and the angular velocity is 0.08 rad / s~0.2 rad / s. As the amount of hydrate in the lower group increases, the amount of hydrate carried by the lowermost shovel will increase, and when it is rotated to the uppermost position, a part of the slurry will be carried away by the adjacent upper group of shovels, which will play a role in breaking the whole into parts and preventing the hydrate from self-sealing and caking. At the same time, the vaporization efficiency of a small amount of slurry is higher.
[0027] Further, in the vaporization separation system, the solar heat collecting water tank is a closed water storage tank, and a solar heat collecting plate is laid on the top of the tank for heating the water in the tank by solar energy. The heating temperature is 10℃~25℃.

[0033] (4) After the hydrate slurry enters the continuous gasification device, it is accumulated in the icebreaking unit and is turned upward under the action of the two rotating shovels and enters the connecting channel under the action of gravity. The hydrate slurry is heated on the inclined tower plate under the action of the spray water in the gasification unit, and the gasification gas is extracted by opening the gas pump. After the separated gas is extracted, the pressure in the gasification unit is reduced, which promotes the decomposition of the hydrate;

The specific operating conditions need to be determined according to the mixed gas system to be treated and the type of additive selected.

[0038] Further, in the above-mentioned continuous gasification separation method, the water temperature T2 preheated by the solar energy collection tank in step (2) is 20℃~50℃.

[0041] Further, in the continuous vaporization separation method, the rotating speed of the rotating shovel disc of the ice breaking unit in step (4) is preferably 100 r / min to 300 r / min.
[0042] Further, in the continuous vaporization separation method, the circulating volume ratio of water in the cooling water circulating pipeline in step (5) is 5% to 55%.
[0043] In the present application, "up" and "down" are used for description purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The technical term "several" refers to two or more, unless otherwise explicitly limited.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0045] 1. The continuous vaporization device is used, which has the characteristics of breaking the hydrates into small pieces by the rotating shovel disc and vaporizing them in multiple connection channels. The hydrates are first broken and turned over by the sawtooth shovel disc in the ice breaking unit, then loaded by the spoon-shaped shovel disc and brought into the connection channel. The continuous breaking and turning over can slowly destroy the self-sealing effect of the hydrates, form micro-cracks on the surface of the hydrates, and the rotation of the shovel disc can bring the hydrates into the connection channel for vaporization in the vaporization unit, which stabilizes the pressure of the vaporization system.
[0046] 2. The vaporization unit in the continuous vaporization device uses inclined trays and water spraying, the hydrate slurry is vaporized by flowing on the trays and heat exchange with warm water, and the heat exchanged water can be recycled, reducing the investment and energy consumption of heating facilities, and the energy saving effect is obvious.
[0047] 3. The vaporization unit of the continuous vaporization device adopts the structure of the inclined filter plate and the backflushing water. Firstly, the inclined direction of the filter plate is opposite to the last tray, which can prevent the slurry flowing down from the tray from piling up on one side of the filter plate; secondly, the backflushing water inlet is arranged on the lower side of the filter plate, the backflushing water is opposite to the direction of the slurry flowing down, and the backflushing water disperses the slurry to prevent the self-sealing effect; thirdly, the force of the backflushing water can realize the flushing effect of the filter plate.

[0057] Example 1
[0058] The hydrate continuous vaporization device provided by the present application is used to treat the mixed gas Figure 2The shown process is for hydrate separation of a mixture of CO2 and CH4, which contains 85% CH4 and the rest is N2 and O2. The mixture is pre-cooled in a mixture cooler 22 at -10°C. The pre-cooled mixture is pressurized to 3 MPa with circulating cooling water and sprayed into a hydrate reactor 24 through a gas-liquid mixing nozzle 23. The reaction conditions in the hydrate reactor 24 are 3 MPa and 0°C. The gas-liquid mixture collides with a baffle in the hydrate reactor 24 and then reacts on the tower plates 8 coated with silicone adhesive, polyurethane sponge layer, poly N-isopropylamide gel and tetra-butyl ammonium bromide hydrate promoter from top to bottom. The sponge layer is 0.6 cm thick, the water content of the polymeric gel material is 85%, and the hydrate promoter concentration is 5 wt% solution. The volume ratio of the generated hydrate in the hydrate slurry is 60%, the water temperature in the solar water collector 34 is 30°C, the water pump 36 is opened, and the water in the solar water collector 34 is pumped into the vaporization unit 2 of the hydrate continuous vaporization device 27. The hydrate slurry discharge valve 202 is opened, the slurry is discharged through the hydrate slurry pipeline 26 and enters the hydrate continuous vaporization device 27. The gases N2 and O2 that do not form hydrates are discharged through the first gas valve 201.

[0059] Comparative Example 1
[0060] The same as example 1, except that the hydrate vaporization device adopts a conventional single tower form, and the whole hydrate and its slurry (60% hydrate content) is heated to realize the vaporization of the hydrate. Compared with example 1, due to the internal heat transfer of the hydrate after contacting the heat source, the hydrate forms a self-sealing effect at a suitable internal temperature, which greatly increases the energy consumption and vaporization time, and increases the operation cost. In addition, due to the whole heating, the pressure in the hydrate vaporization device is unstable, which increases the operation risk.
