Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of safe exploitation of natural gas hydrates, and particularly to a simulation device and experimental method for reservoir pressure rebound during the exploitation of hydrates in the sea area. Background Art
[0002] During the exploitation of natural gas hydrates in the sea area, the pressure reduction method is the preferred method in current domestic and international trial production projects and also the most promising method in the future due to its advantages such as simple application, high cost-effectiveness, and no additional energy input. Along with the pressure reduction, the hydrate phase equilibrium is broken, and the hydrates in the reservoir medium begin to decompose into natural gas and water, and accumulate and migrate in the reservoir pores. However, during this process, there will be a phenomenon of local pore pressure rebound in the hydrate reservoir, which makes it difficult to control the wellbore pressure during exploitation, seriously affects the exploitation efficiency and strategy, and even may trigger marine geological disasters such as the rupture of the shallow overlying formation of the reservoir.
[0003] During the exploitation of natural gas hydrates in the sea area, the driving forces for the migration of gas and water in the reservoir mainly come from the continuous in-situ accumulation of the decomposition products of hydrates, resulting in an increase in the local pore pressure of the reservoir. Only when the pore pressure reaches a certain value will the decomposition products start to migrate to the adjacent pores in the direction of the production well. That is, the pore pressure represents the pressure head of the local area, and the change in pore pressure can reflect the process of the accumulation of decomposition products in the in-situ pores and their migration to the adjacent pores. Specifically, in the initial stage of hydrate decomposition in the reservoir, when the increase in the local pore pressure potential energy is greater than the driving forces consumed by gas and water migration, gas and water will migrate to the adjacent pores; when the sensible heat in the local area of the reservoir is rapidly consumed and not replenished in time, the hydrate decomposition rate will rapidly decrease. Once the increase in the local pore pressure potential energy is less than the driving forces required for gas and water migration, the phenomenon of local pore pressure rebound will occur.
[0004] During the hydrate decomposition process, an accurate description of the heat transfer and migration of gas and water in a reservoir with non-uniform porosity distribution helps to develop safe and efficient natural gas hydrate production methods. The phenomenon of pore pressure rebound in local areas of the reservoir has been confirmed by numerical experiments and laboratory hydrate decomposition experiments. When the local pressure exceeds the shear stress of the reservoir, layered fractures may even occur in the local area and formation outburst may occur (for shallow buried hydrate reservoirs), which is extremely unfavorable to the reservoir stability. However, most current studies focus on how to efficiently extract natural gas from the reservoir, and there is a lack of analysis on the change of pore pressure in local areas of the reservoir during the hydrate decomposition process, resulting in extremely unclear strong coupling relationships among the thermal-fluid-solid-chemical multi-physical fields in the reservoir during the hydrate production process. There is even a blank state for the relevant experimental equipment that takes the appearance and prevention of pore pressure rebound in local areas of the reservoir as the research focus. At the same time, the existing hydrate reservoir production simulation devices can only achieve the pressing and testing of a single-section core with a fixed porosity and cannot achieve the free combination and continuous integrated testing of cores with different porosities and permeabilities, making it difficult to effectively simulate the pore pressure rebound phenomenon in local areas of the reservoir.
[0005] To sum up, during the hydrate pressure reduction production process, the causes and laws of the pore pressure rebound phenomenon in local areas of the reservoir are not clearly understood, there is a lack of prevention methods for the reservoir pore pressure rebound, and the relationship between the reservoir pore pressure rebound and the fracture of the shallow overlying formation of the reservoir is not clear, which seriously affects the smooth progress of the pressure reduction strategy optimization, reservoir transformation plan, and implementation plan. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an experimental device that can achieve the integrated pressing and testing of cores with significantly different porosities in multiple sections and accurately monitor the multi-dimensional temperature and pressure in the cores to meet the effective simulation and in-depth exploration of the pore pressure rebound phenomenon in the reservoir.

[0013] Preferably, the present invention adopts an integrated pressing method to prepare five sections of cores with different porosities connected end to end and an experimental method, including the following process: First, a core with non-uniformly distributed porosity is prepared by an integrated pressing method in a multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction pressing module, mainly including the following steps: a1. Check and confirm that all high-pressure ball valves and the ball valves of the injection and recovery systems are all closed, and check and confirm that the right end of the multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction pressing module is completely sealed by the axial tail sealing sub-module; remove the axial head pressing sub-module, and pull the tail end of the pluggable steel temperature probe in the second to fifth single-body pressing devices to the inner wall of the pressure application / feedback leather sleeve at the lower end of the core filling space to ensure the tightness of the core filling space in the second to fifth single-body pressing devices; insert the first steel cylinder to the left boundary of the core filling space in the first single-body pressing device, and at the same time open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the first single-body pressing device, and pour the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture of the first ratio through the top window, where the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 5:5 and the water-cement ratio is 0.5; then close the top window and let the mixture stand for a period of time. a2. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the second single-body pressing device, quickly pull the first steel cylinder to the left boundary of the core filling space in the second single-body pressing device, and at the same time quickly pour the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture of the second ratio through the top window, where the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 5:5 and the water-cement ratio is 0.9, insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the second single-body pressing device to the initial position, then close the top window and let the mixture stand for a period of time. a3. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the third monomer holding device, quickly draw the first steel cylinder to the left boundary of the core filling space of the third monomer holding device, and at the same time quickly pour the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture with the 3rd ratio through the top window. Among them, the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 6:4, and the water-cement ratio is 1. Insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the third monomer holding device to the initial position, then close the top window, and let the mixture stand for a period of time; a4. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the fourth monomer holding device, quickly draw the first steel cylinder to the left boundary of the core filling space of the fourth monomer holding device, and at the same time quickly pour the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture with the 4th ratio through the top window. Among them, the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 7:3, and the water-cement ratio is 1.1. Insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the fourth monomer holding device to the initial position, then close the top window, and let the mixture stand for a period of time; a5. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the fifth monomer holding device, quickly draw the first steel cylinder to the left boundary of the core filling space of the fifth monomer holding device, and at the same time quickly pour the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture with the 5th ratio through the top window. Among them, the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 8:2, and the water-cement ratio is 1.2. Insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the fifth monomer holding device to the initial position, close the top window, and let the mixture stand for a period of time; Then quickly draw out the first steel cylinder, quickly assemble and seal the axial head pressure sub-module at the left end of the multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction holding module, apply a pressure of 10 MPa to both the axial pressure chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber at the same time, and continuously press the mixture in the core filling space of the 5-section monomer holding device for 8 hours, so as to form a core in the shape of an integral long horizontal cylinder with 5 sections of significantly different porosities in the multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction holding module. The non-uniformly distributed porosity in the core decreases gradually from left to right in each section; Secondly, the generation of hydrates in the continuous integral long core with significant differences in porosity in multiple sections includes the following steps: b1. Release the pressure in the axial pressure chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber to 0 MPa, and use a vacuum pump to pump the pressure in the core filling space and the transfer gas cylinder during the injection process to -0.1 MPa; b2. Close all the ball valves on the liquid injection line side of the gas-liquid flow T-shaped three-way. Use a high-purity methane high-pressure gas cylinder and a gas booster device to make the pressure of methane gas in the transfer gas cylinder during the injection process reach 10 MPa; Then use the pressure difference between the transfer gas cylinder and the core filling space during the injection process to inject methane into the core. Stop injecting methane when the pressure in the segmented confining pressure chamber reaches 8 MPa; b3. Close all the ball valves on one side of the gas-liquid flow T-shaped three-way injection line. Use a liquid injection pump to inject pure water into the core filling space. Stop injecting pure water when the pressure in the segmented confining pressure chamber reaches 10 MPa, and then close all the ball valves on one side of the gas-liquid flow T-shaped three-way liquid injection line. b4. Let the core stand for 1 hour to ensure that the pure water in the core is saturated with methane. Repeat step b2, inject a small amount of methane into the core again, and stabilize the pressure in the segmented confining pressure chamber at 10 MPa. Then close all the ball valves on one side of the gas-liquid flow T-shaped three-way liquid injection line. b5. Turn on the refrigerating water bath circulation machine, set the target water bath temperature to 1°C, and let the coolant continuously cool down and circulate in the water bath annulus inside the steel double-layer cooling cylinder. Monitor the temperature at the temperature monitoring points on the pluggable steel temperature probe in the core filling space in real time. A sudden increase in a certain temperature indicates the formation of hydrates in that sub-region of the core. b6. After the temperatures at all the temperature monitoring points have all shown an upward trend, continue to maintain the target water bath temperature of 1°C and let the coolant circulate for 30 minutes to ensure that the hydrates formed in the integral long core with significantly different porosities in multiple segments are annealed and enter a stable state. Finally, the decomposition of hydrates in the continuous integral long core with significantly different porosities in multiple segments, that is, the simulation of the hydrate pressure reduction production process, includes the following steps: c1. Check and ensure that all the ball valves of the gas-liquid recovery system are closed. Then open the ball valve between the gas-liquid discharge pipeline and the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank. During the process of the pressure reduction in the core, the hydrates gradually decompose into methane gas and water, and migrate to one end of the gas-liquid discharge pipeline in the non-uniform distributed pores in the integral long core. After passing through the outlet pressure control valve, it flows into the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank. Use the data acquisition system to record in real time the temperature and pressure changes in the sub-regions of the core that can be monitored in the multi-segment continuous high-pressure reaction pressure holding module, and monitor the area where the pressure rebound phenomenon occurs in the core during the hydrate decomposition process and the change law of the pressure rebound. c2. When the pressure in the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank reaches stability, open the ball valve between the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank and the second-stage gas-liquid separation tank. c3. When the pressure in the second-stage gas-liquid separation tank reaches stability, open all the ball valves at the back of the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank and the second-stage gas-liquid separation tank in sequence. The methane gas flows into the gas recovery gas cylinder through the gas drying device, the gas mass flow controller and the accumulator, and the methane concentration sensor. c4. After the pressure in the gas recovery gas cylinder stabilizes, inject carbon dioxide gas into the core filling space through the gas-liquid injection system, so that all the remaining methane gas in the core and the two gas-liquid separation tanks flows into the gas recovery gas cylinder; when the methane concentration sensor monitors that the methane concentration is 0, close the spherical valve at the front end of the gas recovery gas cylinder, close the spherical valve at the rear end of the high-purity carbon dioxide high-pressure gas cylinder, open the discharge valves at the lower ends of the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank and the second-stage gas-liquid separation tank, discharge the carbon dioxide gas outdoors, and discharge the water into the liquid recovery container.
[0014] Preferably, the present invention adopts a five-stage segmented preparation method for five cores with different porosities connected end to end and an experimental method, including the following processes: First, prepare a core with non-uniform porosity distribution in the multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction pressing module by means of five-stage segmented pressing. This pressing method realizes the non-uniform porosity distribution in the large-section core by precisely controlling two factors: the mixing material ratio of the small-section core pressing and the pressing time of the small-section core. It is suitable for experiments that require a large porosity difference condition, and mainly includes the following steps: S1. Check and confirm that all high-pressure ball valves and spherical valves of the injection and recovery systems are closed, and check and confirm that the right end of the multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction pressing module is completely sealed by the axial tail sealing sub-module; remove the axial head pressing sub-module, and pull the tail ends of the pluggable steel temperature probes in the second to fifth monomer pressing devices to the inner wall of the pressure application / feedback leather sleeve at the lower end of the core filling space; insert the first steel cylinder into the left boundary of the core filling space of the first monomer pressing device, and quickly assemble and seal the axial head pressing sub-module at the left end of the multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction pressing module; open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the first monomer pressing device, and pour in a fixed ratio of quartz mortar liquid and clay mixed material through the top window, where the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 8:2 and the water-binder ratio is 1.2; then close the top window, insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the first monomer pressing device to the initial position, and apply a pressure of 10 MPa to both the axial pressure chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber at the same time, and continuously press the mixed material in the core filling space of the first monomer pressing device for 1 hour; S2. Release the pressures in the axial compression chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber to 0 MPa. Remove the axial head pressing sub-module, extract the first steel cylinder, and insert the second steel cylinder at the left boundary of the core filling space of the second single-body holding device. Quickly assemble and seal the axial head pressing sub-module. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the second single-body holding device, and pour in the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture with the same ratio as in step S1 through the top window. Then close the top window, insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the second single-body holding device to the initial position, apply a pressure of 10 MPa to both the axial compression chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber simultaneously, and press the mixture in the second single-body holding device and the formed core in the first single-body holding device for 1 hour. S3. Release the pressures in the axial compression chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber to 0 MPa. Remove the axial head pressing sub-module, extract the second steel cylinder, and insert the third steel cylinder at the left boundary of the core filling space of the third single-body holding device. Quickly assemble and seal the axial head pressing sub-module. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the third single-body holding device, and pour in the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture with the same ratio as in step S1 through the top window. Then close the top window, insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the third single-body holding device to the initial position, apply a pressure of 10 MPa to both the axial compression chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber simultaneously, and press the mixture in the third single-body holding device and the formed cores in the first single-body holding device and the second single-body holding device for 1 hour. S4. Release the pressures in the axial compression chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber to 0 MPa. Remove the axial head pressing sub-module, extract the third steel cylinder, and insert the fourth steel cylinder at the left boundary of the core filling space of the fourth single-body holding device. Quickly assemble and seal the axial head pressing sub-module. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the fourth single-body holding device, and pour in the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture with the same ratio as in step S1 through the top window. Then close the top window, insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the fourth single-body holding device to the initial position, apply a pressure of 10 MPa to both the axial compression chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber simultaneously, and press the mixture in the fourth single-body holding device and the formed cores in the first single-body holding device, the second single-body holding device, and the third single-body holding device for 1 hour. S5. Release the pressures in the axial compression chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber to 0 MPa. Remove the axial head pressing sub-module, extract the fourth steel cylinder, quickly assemble and seal the axial head pressing sub-module. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the fifth single-body holding device, and pour in the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture with the same ratio as in step S1 through the top window. Then close the top window, insert the pluggable steel temperature probe of the fifth single-body holding device to the initial position, apply a pressure of 10 MPa to both the axial compression chamber and the segmented confining pressure chamber simultaneously, and press the mixture in the fifth single-body holding device and the formed rock cores in the first, second, third, and fourth single-body holding devices for 4 hours. After the pressing is completed, a rock core in the shape of an integrated long horizontal cylinder with 5 segments of significantly different porosities is formed in the multi-segment continuous high-pressure reaction holding module. The mixture ratios used for pressing each small segment of the rock core are exactly the same, but the pressing times for the 5 small segments of the rock core are 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours from left to right. Therefore, the non-uniformly distributed porosities in the integrated long horizontal cylinder-shaped rock core decrease gradually from left to right in each segment.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention provides a top window module, which consists of a through-type switchable cylindrical window at the top of the single-body holding device and a switch control valve rod. During the pressing process of a large segment of rock core with non-uniformly distributed porosities, it provides conditions for injecting different mixtures into the single-body holding devices at different positions. (2) The present invention provides a multi-segment continuous high-pressure reaction holding module composed of five single-body holding devices connected end to end. Each single-body holding device is provided with a pluggable steel temperature probe at the bottom. Combining the top window module, the steel cylinder set, and the experimental method provided by the present invention, an integrated long horizontal cylinder rock core with a high degree of integration, continuity, and significantly different porosities in multiple segments can be prepared by two methods: integrated pressing and five-stage segmented pressing. Moreover, the free combination of small segments of rock core with different porosities can be controlled, providing conditions for the long-distance continuous migration of the fluid after hydrate decomposition in a porous medium with non-uniformly distributed and complex and variable porosities, and effectively simulating the reservoir pressure rebound phenomenon during the hydrate production process. (3) The present invention innovatively provides 12 segmented confining pressure chambers, 12 embedded confining pressure injection / feedback probes, and 6 pluggable steel temperature probes in each single-body holding device. The temperature and pressure in a total of 60 fan-shaped columnar sub-regions in the axial and tangential dimensions of the entire rock core in the multi-segment continuous high-pressure reaction holding module can be independently monitored, enabling fine monitoring of the specific location where the pressure rebound phenomenon occurs and the pressure fluctuation changes in the integrated long horizontal cylinder rock core with significantly different porosities in multiple segments.

Among them, the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 6:4, and the water-cement ratio is 1. Insert the pluggable steel temperature probe 46 of the third monomer holding device 29 to the initial position, then close the top window, and let the mixture stand for a period of time; a4. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window 43 at the top of the fourth monomer holding device 28, quickly draw the first steel cylinder 85 to the left boundary of the core filling space 26 of the fourth monomer holding device 28, and at the same time quickly pour the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture material with the 4th ratio through the top window. Among them, the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 7:3, and the water-cement ratio is 1.1. Insert the pluggable steel temperature probe 46 of the fourth monomer holding device 28 to the initial position, then close the top window, and let the mixture stand for a period of time; a5. Open the through-type switchable cylindrical window 43 at the top of the fifth monomer holding device 27, quickly draw the first steel cylinder 85 to the left boundary of the core filling space 26 of the fifth monomer holding device 27, and at the same time quickly pour the quartz mortar liquid and clay mixture material with the 5th ratio through the top window. Among them, the mass ratio of quartz sand to clay is 8:2, and the water-cement ratio is 1.2. Insert the pluggable steel temperature probe 46 of the fifth monomer holding device 27 to the initial position, close the top window, and let the mixture stand for a period of time; Then quickly draw out the first steel cylinder 85, quickly assemble and seal the axial head pressing sub-module 3 at the left end of the multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction holding module 1, apply a pressure of 10 MPa to both the axial pressure chamber 12 and the segmented confining pressure chamber 24 at the same time, and continuously press the mixture in the core filling space 26 of the 5-stage monomer holding device for 8 hours, so as to form an integrated long horizontal cylinder-shaped core with 5 significantly different porosities in the multi-stage continuous high-pressure reaction holding module 1, and the non-uniformly distributed porosity in the core decreases gradually from left to right; Secondly, the formation of hydrates in the continuous integrated long core with significantly different porosities in multiple stages includes the following steps: b1. Release the pressure in the axial pressure chamber 12 and the segmented confining pressure chamber 24 to 0 MPa, and use the vacuum pump 73 to pump the pressure in the core filling space 26 and the transfer gas cylinder 68 during the injection process to -0.1 MPa; b2. Close all the ball valves 74 on the liquid injection line side of the gas-liquid flow T-shaped tee 72. Use the high-purity methane high-pressure gas cylinder 64 and the gas booster 67 to make the pressure of the methane gas in the transfer gas cylinder 68 during the injection process reach 10 MPa. Subsequently, use the pressure difference between the transfer gas cylinder 68 during the injection process and the core filling space 26 to inject methane into the core. Stop injecting methane when the pressure in the segmented confining pressure chamber 24 reaches 8 MPa. b3. Close all the ball valves 74 on the gas injection line side of the gas-liquid flow T-shaped tee 72. Use the liquid injection pump 71 to inject pure water into the core filling space 26. Stop injecting pure water when the pressure in the segmented confining pressure chamber 24 reaches 10 MPa, and then close all the ball valves 74 on the liquid injection line side of the gas-liquid flow T-shaped tee 72. b4. Let the core stand still for 1 hour to ensure that the pure water in the core is saturated with methane. Repeat step b2 to inject a small amount of methane into the core again to make the pressure in the segmented confining pressure chamber 24 stable at 10 MPa. Subsequently, close all the ball valves 74 on the liquid injection line side of the gas-liquid flow T-shaped tee 72. b5. Turn on the refrigerated water bath circulation machine 56, set the water bath target temperature to 1 °C, and make the coolant continuously cool down and circulate in the water bath annulus 7 in the steel double-layer cooling cylinder 2. Real-time monitor the temperature at the temperature monitoring points on the pluggable steel temperature probe 46 in the core filling space 26. A sudden increase in a certain temperature indicates the formation of hydrates in that sub-region of the core. b6. After the temperatures of all the temperature monitoring points have all shown an upward trend, continue to maintain the water bath target temperature of 1 °C and let the coolant circulate for 30 minutes to ensure that the hydrates formed in the integral long core with significantly different porosities in multiple segments are annealed and enter a stable state. Finally, the decomposition of hydrates in the continuous integral long core with significantly different porosities in multiple segments, that is, the simulation of the hydrate pressure reduction production process, includes the following steps: c1. Check and ensure that all the ball valves 74 of the gas-liquid recovery system are closed. Subsequently, open the ball valve 74 between the gas-liquid discharge pipeline 21 and the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank 76. The hydrates gradually start to decompose into methane gas and water during the process of the pressure reduction in the core, and migrate to one end of the gas-liquid discharge pipeline 21 in the non-uniformly distributed pores in the integral long core, and flow into the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank 76 after passing through the outlet pressure control valve 75. Use the data acquisition system to record in real time the temperature and pressure changes in the sub-regions of the core that can be monitored in the multi-segment continuous high-pressure reaction pressure holding module 1, and monitor the area where the pressure rebound phenomenon occurs in the core during the hydrate decomposition process and the change law of the pressure rebound. c2. When the pressure in the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank 76 reaches stability, open the ball valve 74 between the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank 76 and the second-stage gas-liquid separation tank 77. c3. After the pressure in the secondary gas-liquid separation tank 77 reaches stability, successively open all the spherical valves 74 at the rear ends of the primary gas-liquid separation tank 76 and the secondary gas-liquid separation tank 77. Methane gas flows into the gas recovery gas cylinder 81 through the gas drying device 78, the gas mass flow controller and accumulator 79, and the methane concentration sensor 80; c4. After the pressure in the gas recovery gas cylinder 81 reaches stability, inject carbon dioxide gas into the core filling space 26 through the gas-liquid injection system, so that all the remaining methane gas in the core and the two gas-liquid separation tanks flows into the gas recovery gas cylinder 81. When the methane concentration sensor 80 monitors that the methane concentration is 0, close the spherical valve 74 at the front end of the gas recovery gas cylinder 81, close the spherical valve 74 at the rear end of the high-purity carbon dioxide high-pressure gas cylinder 65, open the discharge valves at the lower ends of the primary gas-liquid separation tank 76 and the secondary gas-liquid separation tank 77, discharge the carbon dioxide gas to the outside, and discharge the water to the liquid recovery container 82.

When the pressure in the gas recovery gas cylinder (81) reaches stability, inject carbon dioxide gas into the core filling space (26) through the gas-liquid injection system, so that all the remaining methane gas in the core and the two gas-liquid separation tanks flows into the gas recovery gas cylinder (81). When the methane concentration sensor (80) monitors that the methane concentration is 0, close the spherical valve (74) at the front end of the gas recovery gas cylinder (81), close the spherical valve (74) at the rear end of the high-purity carbon dioxide high-pressure gas cylinder (65), open the discharge valves at the lower ends of the first-stage gas-liquid separation tank (76) and the second-stage gas-liquid separation tank (77), discharge the carbon dioxide gas outdoors, and discharge the water into the liquid recovery container (82).
