Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas storage dew point control for gas extraction, and relates to a low-energy consumption dew point control method and device for a gas storage. Background Art
[0002] In summer, the ambient temperature is high, the market natural gas consumption is low, and the surplus natural gas needs to be stored. In winter, the weather is cold and the natural gas consumption increases exponentially. Therefore, the gas storage in the north has the characteristics of summer injection and winter production, and large injection and production volume. Usually, the gas injection period starts from mid-March to mid-October each year, and the gas production period starts from late November each year to early March of the following year. For gas storages that do not have surplus pressure energy available during the gas production period, the dew point control processes that can be used mainly include propane external cooling low-temperature separation dehydration and dehydrocarbon process, throttling and pressure reduction low-temperature separation dehydration and dehydrocarbon + pressurized external transmission process, and silica gel adsorption dehydration and dehydrocarbon process. Among them, the silica gel adsorption dehydration and dehydrocarbon process has not been actually applied in China at present.
[0003] The existing dehydration and dehydrocarbon removal process fails to fully utilize the ambient cold in gas storage applications, resulting in high energy consumption. In addition, the hydrocarbon water dew point of natural gas treated by the existing air-cooled low-temperature dehydration technology in the natural gas gathering and transportation system changes with the ambient temperature. When the ambient temperature is high, the hydrocarbon water dew point of the treated natural gas does not meet the standard, and the hydrocarbon water dew point index is unstable. Condensed liquid will precipitate in the gathering and transportation pipeline, and the pipeline needs to be equipped with a ball cleaning system.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new low-energy dew point control method and device for gas storage, so as to meet the refrigeration demand when the ambient temperature at the end of gas production and the temperature of the incoming raw gas increase, and ensure that the hydrocarbon water dew point of the exported gas meets the standard during the entire gas production period. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention provides a low-energy consumption dew point control method and device for a gas storage facility, which overcomes the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and can effectively solve the problems that after being treated by air-cooling and low-temperature dehydration technology in the existing natural gas gathering and transportation system, the hydrocarbon water dew point of the treated natural gas does not meet the standard when the ambient temperature is high, condensed liquid will precipitate in the gathering and transportation pipeline, the pipeline needs to be equipped with a ball cleaning device, and the ambient cold capacity cannot be fully utilized, resulting in high energy consumption.

From top to bottom, reverse heat exchange is performed with the low-temperature dry gas from bottom to top after low-temperature separation to pre-cool the temperature and obtain pre-cooled wet natural gas; in the fifth step, the pre-cooled wet natural gas is refrigerated again to obtain low-temperature wet natural gas; in the sixth step, the low-temperature wet natural gas is transported to the low-temperature separator for gas-liquid separation to obtain low-temperature dry gas and the second mixed liquid phase respectively; in the seventh step, the low-temperature dry gas is transported to the bottom of the three-stream heat exchanger for reverse heat exchange with the antifreeze wet natural gas. After the low-temperature dry gas is reheated, high-pressure external dry gas is obtained for external transmission, and the second mixed liquid phase is sent to the downstream process for hydrocarbon alcohol separation and recovery.

[0034] According to needs, in the later period of gas production in the gas storage (late February to early March), the ambient temperature and the temperature of the incoming raw gas both rise, and the raw gas can first go to the air cooler 3 through the second bypass pipeline 22 to air-cool the raw gas, then return through the third bypass pipeline 23, and then go to the three-stream heat exchanger 1 for pre-cooling, and then go directly to the propane external cooling evaporator 4 through the first bypass pipeline 20 of the air cooler 3 to be refrigerated to the designed low-temperature separation temperature. After low-temperature separation, the dry gas is reheated through the three-stream heat exchanger 1 and then transmitted to the outside.
[0035] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the equipment and devices used are all publicly known equipment and devices in the art, such as a three-stream heat exchanger 1, a gas-liquid separator 2, an air cooler 3, a propane external cooling evaporator 4 and a low-temperature separator 5.
[0036] As required, the pipelines and equipment of the device for implementing the low-energy dew point control method for gas storage facilities may also be equipped with conventional valves, thermometers, pressure gauges, etc. that are well known and used in the art according to production needs.
[0037] Example 11: The gas production period of a gas storage in a certain northern region starts from November 20th of each year and ends on March 10th of the following year. In the past 10 years, the ambient temperature in this region ranges from -17°C to 2°C from November 20th to December 10th of each year; from -27°C to -9°C from December 10th to February 20th of the following year; and from -19°C to 3°C from February 20th to March 10th.
[0038] November 20 to February 20: Gas production: 1440×10 4 m 3 / d, gas inlet pressure 10.5MPa, temperature 25℃ to 35℃, fourth valve 21, fifth valve 24 and sixth valve 25 are closed, first valve 17, second valve 18 and third valve 19 are opened, after the raw gas enters the station, the free liquid carried by the underground produced gas is separated by the gas-liquid separator 2, and then it goes to the three-stream heat exchanger 1 for precooling to -5℃ to 0℃, and then enters the air cooler 3, and is cooled to -10℃ to -5℃ by the air enthalpy difference, and then enters the low-temperature separator 5 to separate the condensed liquid, and the low-temperature dry gas goes to the three-stream heat exchanger 1 for reheating to 20℃ to 30℃ for external transmission. The hydrocarbon water dew point of the externally transmitted gas is ≤0℃, which meets the requirements of the current specification "Natural Gas" GB 17820-2018 for the handover of natural gas, that is, under the pressure and temperature conditions of the handover point (the ground temperature t≥0℃ at the handover point), there should be no liquid water and liquid hydrocarbons in the natural gas. During the time period when the daytime temperature is higher than -10℃ (about 2 to 3 hours), the propane refrigeration system operates at a small load, and the air-cooled natural gas is further cooled to -10℃ to -5℃ for low-temperature separation. During other periods, the propane external cooling system is on standby and air-cooled by air cooler 3.
[0039] From February 20 to March 10 of the following year, the gas production was 1440×10 4 m 3 / d, the gas inlet pressure is 10.5MPa, the temperature is 35℃ to 45℃, the first valve 17, the second valve 18 and the third valve 19 are closed, the fourth valve 21, the fifth valve 24 and the sixth valve 25 are opened. After the raw gas enters the station, it first goes to the air cooler 3 through the second bypass pipeline to be air-cooled to 25℃, and then enters the gas-liquid separator 2 through the third bypass pipeline 23 to separate the free liquid carried in the produced gas, and goes to the three-stream heat exchanger 1 for pre-cooling to -5℃, and enters the propane external cooling evaporator 4 through the first bypass pipeline 20, and is refrigerated to -10℃ by propane. After entering the low-temperature separator 5 to separate the condensed liquid, the low-temperature dry gas goes to the three-stream heat exchanger 1 for reheating to 30℃ to 40℃ for external transmission. The hydrocarbon water dew point of the exported gas is ≤0℃, which meets the requirements of the current specification "Natural Gas" GB 17820-2018 for the handover of natural gas, that is, under the pressure and temperature conditions of the handover point (the ground temperature at the handover point t≥0℃), there should be no liquid water and liquid hydrocarbons in the natural gas. At the end of gas production, due to the high temperature of the incoming raw gas and the high saturated water content of the natural gas, the second bypass pipeline 22 and the third bypass pipeline 23 can be cooled by air before gas-liquid separation, pre-cooling by the three-stream heat exchanger 1, propane refrigeration, low-temperature separation, and reheating for external transmission.
[0040] In Example 11 of the present invention, the energy consumption of treating 10,000 cubic meters of produced gas in a gas storage in a certain place in the north is about 1.76 kgce, which is about 46.8% lower than the energy consumption of the conventional propane refrigeration dew point control process, and the carbon emission is reduced by about 8.4 kg CO2 / 10 4 m 3Compared with the throttling and depressurization low-temperature separation dehydration and dehydrocarbon removal + pressurized external transmission process, the energy consumption is reduced by about 68.3%, and the carbon emission is reduced by about 20.6 kg CO2 / 10 4 m 3 Therefore, the present invention has the advantages of low production and operation cost, low energy consumption and low carbon emissions.
[0041] In summary, the present invention combines the characteristics of the injection and production cycle of the gas storage reservoir, analyzes the climate change in the area where the gas storage reservoir is located through big data statistics, and through technical and economic analysis, fully utilizes the coldness of the northern winter environment and adopts a low-temperature dehydration and dehydrocarbonization process of air enthalpy difference refrigeration + propane auxiliary refrigeration to achieve the goals of energy saving, carbon reduction and cost reduction.
[0042] The above technical features constitute the embodiments of the present invention, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different situations.
