[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for increasing the transmission capacity of a natural gas pipeline, comprising the following steps:

[0034] S1, when the natural gas pipeline station receives a request for increased transmission, LNG is injected into the injection port of the natural gas pipeline, and the temperature of the injection port is collected in real time. Wherein:

[0035] Natural gas pipeline stations refer to management platforms or bases that coordinate the gas transmission, intake, and distribution of all pipelines in a given area.

[0036] An increase request is a request to increase the transport volume when, after checking all pipeline segments and finding no abnormalities, it is determined that the supply of the scheduled quantity cannot be completed within the time corresponding to the scheduling requirement.

[0037] The injection port of a natural gas pipeline can be the gas inlet of the natural gas pipeline.

[0038] LNG refers to cryogenic medium.

[0039] The temperature at the injection port is collected by a temperature sensor located at the injection port.

[0040] S2, maintain the temperature of the injection port within the preset temperature range, and complete the LNG injection volume corresponding to the increased transmission request to complete the increased transmission of natural gas pipeline.

[0041] When the temperature of the injection port is not within the preset temperature range, immediately stop injecting LNG into the injection port and wait for the temperature of the injection port to return to the preset temperature range before restarting the injection of LNG into the injection port.

[0042] The beneficial effects of the natural gas pipeline enhancement method provided by this invention are as follows:

[0043] By using LNG, the long-standing technical challenge of reducing drag and increasing transmission capacity in natural gas pipelines, which has remained unresolved both domestically and internationally, can be solved. Whether in the eastern coastal areas of my country where LNG supply is convenient or in the central and western regions where LNG is inconvenient to obtain, natural gas pipelines can achieve LNG injection and cooling transportation at pipeline stations, thereby realizing the comprehensive utilization of cold energy, promoting the effective use of clean energy throughout society, and bringing huge economic benefits, energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection effects.

[0044] Furthermore, the method for determining the LNG is as follows:

[0045] By combining the hydraulic formula of natural gas pipeline, all the parameters affecting the transportation volume of natural gas pipeline are determined, all the parameters are verified, and the temperature parameter is determined to be the optimal parameter. Based on the temperature parameter, the medium corresponding to the optimal parameter is determined to be LNG.

[0046] Among them, all influencing parameters include: friction coefficient, temperature, and compressibility factor.

[0047] To determine which medium can increase the pipeline's transport capacity, the following research method is proposed:

[0048] First, determine the hydraulic formula for natural gas pipelines (GB 50251), as follows:

[0049]

[0050] Where, qv The flow rate (m³) of the gas (P0 = 0.101325 MPa, T = 293 K) 3 / d), P1 is the starting pressure (absolute) (MPa) of the calculated section of the gas pipeline, P2 is the ending pressure (absolute) (MPa) of the calculated section of the gas pipeline, d is the inner diameter of the gas pipeline (cm), λ is the hydraulic friction coefficient, Z is the compressibility factor of the gas, Δ is the relative density of the gas, T is the average temperature of the gas in the gas pipeline (K), and L is the length of the calculated section of the gas pipeline (km).

[0051] As can be seen from the above formulas, parameters such as pipe diameter, length, pressure, and the properties of the medium itself are immutable, while the friction coefficient, temperature, and compressibility factor are variable. This means that for a specific pipeline, only these three variables can significantly affect the throughput. Furthermore, it is certain that reducing the friction coefficient can increase throughput by reducing drag, as has been proven in practice. However, temperature changes are more complex. Temperature variations can cause changes in parameters such as gas density, compressibility factor, friction, and dynamic viscosity, making it difficult to determine the specific impact on throughput.

[0052] Furthermore, when the substance in the pipeline is methane, the temperature-density curve of methane (e.g.) is obtained. Figure 2 (as shown) and the temperature-dynamic viscosity curve of methane (as shown) Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, within the pipeline transportation temperature range used in engineering, such as above -10℃, at the same pressure, the density of methane increases significantly with decreasing temperature, and the increase in density is greater with increasing pressure. This indicates that transporting a unit volume of natural gas results in an increase in mass, which is equivalent to an increase in volume compared to before cooling. Within the pipeline transportation temperature range used in engineering, such as above -10℃, at pressures less than or equal to 10 MPa, the dynamic viscosity of methane decreases with decreasing temperature. This indicates that the internal friction of the fluid does not increase with increasing density; on the contrary, it decreases, which will also lead to a reduction in energy consumption.

[0053] Therefore, preliminary analysis suggests that the decrease in temperature leads to an increase in gas density and a decrease in dynamic viscosity, which should result in an increase in throughput while keeping the pipe volume constant.

[0054] To verify the above statement, namely that temperature is a factor affecting the delivery volume, the following experiment was conducted:

[0055] The pipeline design institute simulated data on the potential impact of changes in outlet temperature on pipeline throughput in a real pipeline. Under unchanged basic operating conditions, the pipeline throughput changed as follows by activating the air cooler to lower the delivery temperature: Figure 4As shown, the transmission volume increases significantly with decreasing outlet temperature. At an outlet temperature of 25℃, daily transmission volume can be increased by 14.6% and annual transmission volume by 23.9%, respectively. Considering that the minimum transmission temperature of domestic natural gas pipelines is generally around 0℃, this results in a large temperature drop range at the outlet end of most natural gas pipelines (assuming no ice blockage issues, which can be resolved using hydrate inhibitors).

[0056] In addition, the principle of the increased transmission effect brought about by lowering the temperature of natural gas can also be analyzed from the perspective of thermodynamic energy conservation. Since the internal energy of gas molecules (that is, the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) is affected by temperature, the lower the temperature, the smaller the internal energy, and the lower the energy of molecular motion, thus inhibiting turbulence to a certain extent. Under the same compressor work, macroscopically, this will inevitably lead to an increase in transmission capacity.

[0057] LNG has the same composition as natural gas, but its temperature is -162℃, providing ample heat exchange and cooling capacity. Furthermore, one cubic meter of LNG can be vaporized into approximately 600 cubic meters of gaseous natural gas. Because natural gas itself has a very low dynamic viscosity (e.g., around 0.01 cP at 50℃ and 12 MPa), its Reynolds number in pipelines can reach approximately 107-108 (pipe diameter 1219 mm, pressure 12 MPa) or even higher, placing it in a fully turbulent flow state. Therefore, LNG injected into the pipeline can quickly vaporize and mix with natural gas, thereby lowering the gas flow temperature. Thus, injecting a certain proportion of LNG into natural gas pipelines can be considered to cool pipeline-transported natural gas while simultaneously significantly increasing natural gas throughput.

[0058] According to the methane phase diagram, methane is essentially in the gas phase at a pressure of 12 MPa and a temperature above -13°C. For example... Figure 5 As shown. Therefore, when a small amount of LNG is injected or sprayed into the outlet of a natural gas station at a pressure typically below 12 MPa and a temperature between 40-70°C, the LNG will vaporize instantly upon entering the pipeline and be carried away by the strong natural gas flow. Therefore, there is no issue of cryogenic LNG adhering to the pipe wall surface and affecting the toughness of the pipe material or inner coating.

[0059] From a broad perspective, natural gas transmission enhancement can be approached from two aspects: fluid and pipeline. This approach, which focuses on reducing drag and enhancing transmission from the fluid perspective, may seem simple, but it involves introducing new matter, energy, and momentum into a relatively closed fluid equilibrium system to achieve a new balance. It falls under the category of turbulent fluid drag reduction and integrates the basic principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics with the mechanism of drag reduction and transmission enhancement. It can be described as an extremely ingenious method for enhancing natural gas transmission.

[0060] Furthermore, the LNG acquisition methods include: extracting LNG from an on-board LNG storage tank or preparing LNG through natural gas liquefaction.

[0061] Example 1, 1. LNG injection cooling and transportation enhancement method;

[0062] This invention is the first to propose a method for increasing pipeline transportation by injecting LNG into natural gas pipelines. The LNG can be sourced from onboard LNG storage tanks or from LNG produced locally at natural gas stations using natural gas liquefaction in pipelines.

[0063] 2. Peak-shaving operation method of natural gas pipelines

[0064] This invention is the first to propose a method for local liquefaction and storage of natural gas in pipelines, followed by direct injection of LNG when pipeline capacity needs to be increased, without the need for pre-gasification. Foreign methods involve locally gasifying LNG before injecting it into pipelines for peak shaving, but these methods fail to consider the increased transport capacity effect achieved by LNG injection into pipelines after temperature reduction.

[0065] This invention is the first in China to propose using distributed energy sources such as solar, wind, and thermal power generation at natural gas stations to produce LNG, achieving comprehensive energy utilization and energy conservation. Because pipeline natural gas has a relatively simple composition and few impurities, a separate purification process is no longer required, making LNG production relatively easy to implement.

[0066] LNG production can utilize currently mature natural gas liquefaction processes, primarily including: cascade liquefaction processes, mixed refrigerant liquefaction processes, and liquefaction processes with expanders. Different natural gas liquefaction processes can be adopted depending on specific requirements.

[0067] 3. LNG injection unit and injection process

[0068] This invention is the first to propose a method for directly injecting LNG into natural gas pipelines using fixed or skid-mounted devices at natural gas pipeline stations. The process primarily involves drawing LNG from an LNG tank using a cryogenic pressure pump, and then injecting it into the natural gas pipeline through a cryogenic pipeline and an inlet on the natural gas outlet pipeline. The inlet on the outlet pipeline must meet cryogenic material requirements, or heat tracing must be used to ensure the injection port is within an acceptable temperature range. Furthermore, to ensure that the LNG quickly vaporizes and mixes with the natural gas after injection, preventing it from spraying onto the pipeline inner wall and affecting its physical properties due to cryogenic temperatures, the LNG injection port must achieve atomized spraying.

[0069] 4. Gasification process of LNG receiving terminal

[0070] This invention can be used to establish an auxiliary gasification process at LNG receiving terminals, where some LNG is not gasified through seawater heat exchange, but is directly injected into the gasified natural gas export pipeline or a natural gas pipeline near the LNG receiving terminal, achieving energy saving, cooling, and increased transmission effects.

[0071] 5. Urban cooling energy utilization

[0072] This invention can be used to inject LNG into urban natural gas pipelines, reduce the temperature of the natural gas during transportation, and combine it with urban cold energy utilization through heat exchangers to achieve cooling for factory production or indoor cooling during hot summer weather.

[0073] Injecting LNG into natural gas pipelines will bring the following benefits:

[0074] If the LNG injection nozzle is placed at the center line of the compressor station's outlet pipeline, with an appropriate injection volume, the LNG will instantly vaporize and flow away with the natural gas flow, without the need for additional LNG vaporization equipment and costs.

[0075] The ultra-low temperature of LNG will easily reduce the temperature of the natural gas leaving the station. For example, a preliminary estimate suggests that an injection volume of about 0.835% (equivalent to 5% of the transmission volume after gasification) will result in a temperature drop of about 10-15°C at the station, and generate an additional transmission increase effect of more than 5%.

[0076] Simultaneous LNG injection at multiple pipeline stations will result in a more significant increase in overall pipeline transport capacity.

[0077] Under certain operating conditions, the air cooler can be shut down to achieve energy-saving and consumption-reducing operation.

[0078] Peak shaving in natural gas pipelines can be achieved by utilizing the liquefaction, storage, and injection cooling of natural gas.
