Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of coal seam mining simulation test, and in particular relates to a gas-liquid-solid separation and intelligent monitoring system and method for efficient coal seam gas development test. Background Art
[0002] Coalbed methane development is the key to ensuring safe and green production of coal mines and optimizing the energy structure. With the depletion of shallow resources, coal mine development has begun to move to deeper areas. However, deep coal seams generally have the characteristics of high stress, high karst water pressure and low permeability, which makes coalbed methane development more difficult and seriously restricts the efficient development of coalbed methane. Therefore, this issue has become an important research direction in the field of deep coalbed methane development.
[0003] Indoor physical simulation test is a common method for studying deep engineering problems, and provides an important means for studying the efficient development of deep coalbed methane. However, in the process of indoor physical simulation test of coalbed methane development, fluid migration is complex. It is not a simple single-phase or two-phase fluid migration, but a gas-liquid-solid three-phase migration including coalbed methane-water-coal particles. The three-phase fluid will interact, restrict and influence each other, which brings great difficulties to the quantitative analysis of coalbed methane development effect. In addition, in the simulation test process, the inability to separate the gas-liquid-solid three-phase fluid in time often leads to the reduction of the accuracy of related sensors or monitoring equipment, or even damage to sensors and monitoring equipment, which reduces the success rate of the test and increases the test cost and test error. Therefore, constructing the gas-liquid-solid three-phase separation equipment of coalbed methane-water-coal particles in the process of coalbed methane development, and proposing the gas-liquid-solid three-phase quantitative monitoring method of coalbed methane-water-coal particles, has certain theoretical and engineering practical significance for studying the efficient development of coalbed methane.

[0075] The method for using the gas-liquid-solid separation and intelligent monitoring system for efficient coalbed methane development test includes the following steps:
[0076] After the coal seam samples are processed, they are filled into the low coal seam gas pressure coal seam 2a and the high coal seam gas pressure coal seam 2b respectively, and the environmental simulation module is used to generate the test specified gas pressure, temperature and stress; wait for the coal seam samples to reach the adsorption equilibrium state;
[0077] The three-phase fluid separation and metering module and the negative pressure pump 19 are started to separate and meter the coalbed methane-water-coal particle three-phase mixed fluid 12;
[0078] At the same time, the reflux metering module measures the amount of the coalbed methane 17 flowing in the reverse direction.

[0081] As an optional implementation manner, the coal seam aeration adsorption time in the low coal seam methane pressure coal seam 2a and the high coal seam methane pressure coal seam 2b is 48 hours.
[0082] The process steps and action relationships of the present invention are as follows:
[0083] Step 1: Test preparation and efficient gas adsorption:
[0084] (1) Sample processing and loading: Coal samples collected from deep coal mines are finely cut and precisely ground to predetermined specifications and then loaded into the test chamber 1.
[0085] (2) Coal seam simulation and isolation: First, the treated coal sample is placed in the test chamber 1, and a high coal seam gas pressure environment is simulated in the high coal seam gas pressure coal seam 2b, and a separation layer 18 is laid above the high coal seam gas pressure coal seam 2b.
[0086] (3) Low-pressure coal seam filling and balance: Deep coal samples of the same specifications are loaded into the low coalbed methane pressure coal seam 2a to form a comparative test environment. At the same time, the two coal seams are inflated and adsorbed simultaneously to ensure that the coalbed methane adsorption equilibrium pressure in the high coalbed methane pressure coal seam 2b reaches 2MPa, while the adsorption equilibrium pressure in the low coalbed methane pressure coal seam 2a is 1MPa.
[0087] (4) Adsorption balance and development preparation: The two coal seams were aerated and adsorbed by the aeration adsorption control module. After 48 hours of aeration adsorption, the adsorption equilibrium state was reached. In this process, an energy-saving adsorption balance control system was used to reduce energy consumption and improve the accuracy of the test. After the adsorption balance was reached, the data acquisition and intelligent control module was instantly started and the needle valve 20 was automatically opened to perform the development operation of the coalbed methane. The preparation stage took into account the environmental protection and intelligent control of the entire test process.
[0088] Step 2: Separation and quantitative collection of coal particles:
[0089] (1) Starting the negative pressure development system: In step 1, when the data acquisition and intelligent control module is instantly started and the needle valve 20 is automatically opened, the negative pressure pump 19 is simultaneously started to implement the negative pressure development of coalbed methane.
[0090] (2) Fluid guidance and separation: With the opening of the needle valve 20 and the energy-saving negative pressure pump 19, the coalbed methane-water-coal particle three-phase mixed fluid 12 flows along the coalbed methane development pipe 3. The fluid first passes through the high-pressure resistant metal screen 4, and the coal particles are effectively separated by the high-pressure resistant metal screen 4.
[0091] (3) When the data acquisition and intelligent control module automatically recognizes that the coalbed methane pressure is close to the exhaustion pressure, it will automatically save the data and end the test. At the same time, it will automatically pop open the valve 5, so that the coal particles intercepted by the high-pressure resistant metal screen 4 fall into the coal particle separation and collection equipment 6 with measurement function.
[0092] Step 3: Separation and accurate quantitative collection of water:
[0093] (1) Fluid guidance: The coalbed methane-water two-phase mixed fluid 13 continues to flow along the coalbed methane development pipe until it reaches the tank body 7. A high-pressure resistant baffle 8 is provided inside the tank body 7, which can guide the fluid to flow toward the filter element 9.
[0094] (2) Separation and filtration: The filter element 9 uses high-efficiency filtration materials, which can effectively separate the water in the mixed fluid while allowing the coalbed methane single-phase fluid to pass through.
[0095] (3) Water collection and quantification: The filtered water is collected in the tank 7, which is equipped with a high-precision measurement system that can accurately measure the quality of the collected water.
[0096] Step 4: Separation and precise quantitative collection of forward and reverse flow coalbed methane:
[0097] (1) Forward coalbed methane flow collection: The coalbed methane gas continues to flow along the coalbed methane development pipe and passes through the one-way valve 15a to ensure the one-way passage of the fluid. The flow meter 16a adopts high-precision measurement technology and can quantitatively collect the forward coalbed methane flow in real time, providing accurate data for the effective development of coalbed methane resources.
[0098] (2) Reverse coalbed methane flow collection: Due to the pressure difference between the two coal seams, part of the high-pressure coalbed methane forms reverse-flow coalbed methane 17. The reverse-flowing coalbed methane 17 passes through a specially designed one-way valve 15b and a flowmeter 16b. The flowmeter 16b also uses high-precision measurement technology to complete the quantitative real-time collection of the reverse coalbed methane flow.
[0099] Through the above four carefully designed steps, the present invention realizes efficient gas-liquid-solid separation and accurate quantitative monitoring in deep coalbed methane development experiments, providing technical support for the green and efficient development of deep coalbed methane resources.
[0100] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0101] (1) Highly simulated environment: The maximum geostress loading value provided by the present invention reaches 12MPa, the maximum coalbed methane adsorption pressure can reach 3MPa, the simulated coal seam temperature can reach 50°C, and the maximum sealing pressure between coal seams can reach 1MPa, which can highly restore the deep multi-thin coal seam storage environment and the entire process of coalbed methane development. The design of these parameters can highly simulate the storage environment of deep coal seams and the entire process of coalbed methane development, providing a reliable test platform for the scientific development of deep coalbed methane resources.
[0102] (2) Safe and efficient separation technology: The present invention realizes efficient separation of gas-liquid-solid three phases in the process of deep coalbed methane development, which not only improves the safety of the operating environment of sensors or monitoring equipment during the test, but also significantly improves the success rate of the test and reduces the test cost. In addition, the application of this technology helps to reduce environmental pollution and is in line with the development concept of green environmental protection.
[0103] (3) Quantitative collection and analysis: The present invention can accurately and quantitatively collect the separated gas-liquid-solid three-phase fluid, providing an innovative idea and method for quantitatively analyzing the effect of coalbed methane development. This technology has important theoretical and engineering practical significance for optimizing coalbed methane development technology and improving resource utilization efficiency.
