Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of natural gas experimental technology, specifically relating to a pilot-scale experimental device for natural gas VTSA decarbonization without greenhouse gas emissions and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] In actual natural gas production, most processes undergo experimental research before being put into production to provide a reference for actual production. Currently, during the experimental process, most processes use a specific ratio of pure CO2 and pure CH4 as feedstock gas. After the experiment, the purified CH4 gas is directly vented or burned, while the desorbed gas is vented, resulting in waste of feedstock gas and environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem this invention aims to solve is the waste of raw material gas and environmental pollution during natural gas experiments. It proposes a pilot-scale experimental device for natural gas VTSA decarbonization without greenhouse gas emissions and its working method.

[0004] A pilot-scale natural gas VTSA decarbonization experimental device with no greenhouse gas emissions includes a feed gas mixing tank, a purified gas storage tank, a desorbed gas storage tank, a purified gas and desorbed gas mixing tank, and an adsorption-desorption tower.

[0005] The raw gas mixing tank is connected to the raw gas compressor, desorption gas buffer tank, CO2 cylinder, CH4 cylinder, CNG station pipeline, and purified gas buffer tank via pipelines.

[0006] The raw material gas compressor is connected to the raw material gas buffer tank via pipeline. The raw material gas buffer tank is connected to the gas inlet at the bottom of the adsorption-desorption tower and the vacuum pump via pipeline. The vacuum pump is connected to the gas outlet at the bottom of the adsorption-desorption tower and the desorbed gas storage tank via pipeline. The purified gas outlet at the top of the adsorption-desorption tower is connected to the purified gas storage tank via pipeline. The purified gas storage tank is connected to the purified gas separator.

[0007] The desorbed gas storage tank is connected to the desorbed gas separator via a pipeline;

[0008] The purified gas separator is connected to the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing tank, the purified gas buffer tank, and the desorbed gas separator via pipelines; the desorbed gas separator is connected to the desorbed gas buffer tank via pipelines.

[0009] The purified gas and desorbed gas mixing tank is connected to the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing compressor via pipeline. The purified gas and desorbed gas mixing compressor is connected to the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing heat exchanger via pipeline. The purified gas and desorbed gas mixing heat exchanger is connected to the high-purity gas cylinder and the CNG station pipeline via pipeline.

[0010] Furthermore, the CH4 cylinder, CO2 cylinder, purified gas buffer tank, and desorption gas buffer tank constitute a raw material gas component adjustment system, with the CH4 cylinder and purified gas buffer tank connected, and the CO2 cylinder and desorption gas buffer tank connected.

[0011] Furthermore, a heat-conducting oil heater is provided on the outside of the adsorption-desorption tower.

[0012] Furthermore, each pipeline is equipped with a regulating valve.

[0013] Furthermore, pressure and temperature measuring instruments are installed on the raw gas mixing tank, the desorbed gas storage tank, the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing tank, and the adsorption-desorption tower.

[0014] Furthermore, the raw material gas mixing tank, the purified gas storage tank, the desorbed gas storage tank, and the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing tank are equipped with sampling ports.

[0015] Furthermore, depending on the different experimental research objectives, different proportions of raw material gas are prepared in the raw material gas mixing tank.

[0016] A pilot-scale experimental method for natural gas VTSA decarbonization without greenhouse gas emissions, based on the aforementioned pilot-scale experimental apparatus for natural gas VTSA decarbonization without greenhouse gas emissions, includes the following steps:

[0017] S1. At the start of the experiment, based on the ratio of CO2 to CH4 in the pipeline natural gas, gas is supplied to the raw material gas mixing tank through CH4 gas cylinder or CO2 gas cylinder, gas is supplied to the purified gas buffer tank through CH4 gas cylinder, and gas is supplied to the desorption gas buffer tank through CO2 gas cylinder, so that the raw material gas ratio meets the experimental requirements.

[0018] S2. The raw material gas prepared in step S1 is pressurized by a raw material gas compressor to meet the raw material gas inlet pressure requirement of 4.0–4.5 MPa, and coordinated with the regulating valve at the top of the adsorption-desorption tower to ensure the flow rate of the adsorption-desorption tower is 250–300 m³ / h. 3 The requirements are: / h and pressure of 3.5–4.0 MPa;

[0019] S3. When the CH4 content in the purified gas buffer tank is not less than 99%, and the CO2 content in the desorption gas buffer tank is higher than that in the raw gas, shut off the CH4 and CO2 cylinders. Then, supply high-purity CH4 from the purified gas buffer tank or high-purity CO2 from the desorption gas buffer tank, respectively. Adjust the raw gas ratio to conduct a natural gas decarbonization experiment. The formula for calculating the gas ratio is:

[0020]

[0021] Where C represents the CO2 content of the raw gas, C P C represents the CO2 content of the pipeline gas.S For purified gas or CH4 cylinders, the CH4 content, C D For desorption gas or CO2 content in CO2 cylinders, F P F represents the gas flow rate in the pipeline. S For the flow rate of purified gas or CH4 cylinders, F D For desorption gas or CO2 cylinder flow rate;

[0022] S4. When the natural gas decarbonization experiment in step S3 is stable, the purified gas from the adsorption-desorption tower is depressurized by the regulating valve and enters the purified gas storage tank. Then the purified gas is processed by the purified gas separator to remove impurities from the purified gas and obtain the processed purified gas.

[0023] S5. When the CH4 content of the purified gas in step S4 is no higher than 50ppm and the CH4 content is no higher than 3% when the purified gas is used as pipeline gas, close the raw material gas inlet regulating valve and the purified gas outlet regulating valve of the adsorption-desorption tower, open the heat transfer oil heater, and heat the outer wall jacket of the adsorption-desorption tower until the CO2 content of the desorbed gas no longer increases.

[0024] S6. Based on the desorption gas generated by the adsorption-desorption tower in step S5, the desorption gas in the adsorption-desorption tower is extracted by a vacuum pump and introduced into the desorption gas storage tank. Then, the desorption gas is processed by the desorption gas separator to remove impurities in the desorption gas and obtain the processed desorption gas.

[0025] S7. The purified gas obtained in step S4 and the desorbed gas obtained in step S6 are introduced into the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing tank. The ratio of the mixed gas is adjusted by controlling the flow rate of the purified gas and the desorbed gas to obtain a mixed gas. The mixed gas is pressurized by the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing gas compressor, and then heated by the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing gas heat exchanger before being introduced into the downstream of the CNG station pipeline.

[0026] Furthermore, in step S7, the gas content inside the test purification gas and desorption gas mixing tank is collected through the sampling port to ensure that the CO2 content in the mixed gas is lower than the CO2 content in the CNG station pipeline.

[0027] Furthermore, when the purified gas obtained in step S4 and the desorbed gas obtained in step S6 are not reinjected into the pipeline gas, the following processes are performed respectively:

[0028] The treated purified gas is introduced into a purified gas and desorbed gas mixing tank, and then pressurized by a purified gas and desorbed gas mixing compressor before being introduced into a CH4 gas cylinder.

[0029] The treated desorbed gas is fed into a mixture tank of purified gas and desorbed gas, and then pressurized by a compressor of the mixture of purified gas and desorbed gas before being fed into a CO2 cylinder.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0031] The present invention discloses a pilot-scale experimental device for decarbonization of natural gas VTSA without greenhouse gas emissions. The process of taking raw gas from CNG station pipelines and reinjecting purified gas and desorbed gas during the experiment can greatly save experimental costs, with almost no greenhouse gas emissions, reducing environmental pollution to zero.

[0051] S1.

[0052] S2. The raw material gas prepared in step S1 is pressurized by a raw material gas compressor to meet the raw material gas inlet pressure requirement of 4.0–4.5 MPa, and coordinated with the regulating valve at the top of the adsorption-desorption tower to ensure the flow rate of the adsorption-desorption tower is 250–300 m³ / h. 3 The requirements are: / h and pressure of 3.5–4.0 MPa;

[0053] S3. When the CH4 content in the purified gas buffer tank is not less than 99%, and the CO2 content in the desorption gas buffer tank is higher than that in the raw gas, shut off the CH4 and CO2 cylinders. Then, supply high-purity CH4 from the purified gas buffer tank or high-purity CO2 from the desorption gas buffer tank, respectively. Adjust the raw gas ratio to conduct a natural gas decarbonization experiment. The formula for calculating the gas ratio is:

[0054]

Then the purified gas is processed by the purified gas separator to remove impurities from the purified gas and obtain the processed purified gas.

[0057] S5. When the CH4 content of the purified gas in step S4 is no higher than 50ppm and the CH4 content is no higher than 3% when the purified gas is used as pipeline gas, close the raw material gas inlet regulating valve and the purified gas outlet regulating valve of the adsorption-desorption tower, open the heat transfer oil heater, and heat the outer wall jacket of the adsorption-desorption tower until the CO2 content of the desorbed gas no longer increases.

The mixed gas is pressurized by the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing gas compressor, and then heated by the purified gas and desorbed gas mixing gas heat exchanger before being introduced into the downstream of the CNG station pipeline.

[0060] Furthermore, in step S7, the gas content inside the test purification gas and desorption gas mixing tank is collected through the sampling port to ensure that the CO2 content in the mixed gas is lower than the CO2 content in the CNG station pipeline.

[0061] Furthermore, when the purified gas obtained in step S4 and the desorbed gas obtained in step S6 are not reinjected into the pipeline gas, the following processes are performed respectively:
