Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal mine gas extraction and concentration improvement, and particularly relates to a variable-temperature displacement concentration and power generation coupling system for coal mine extracted gas and a method for variable-temperature displacement concentration and power generation coupling of coal mine extracted gas. Background Art

[0002] Coal mine gas, also known as coalbed methane, is an important unconventional natural gas resource, and China has very rich coal mine gas reserves. Affected by mining activities, there are a large number of air leakage fissures in underground coal seams. Under the action of negative pressure extraction, a large amount of air enters the extraction boreholes along the fissures, resulting in generally low concentrations of underground gas extraction. At present, low-concentration gas with a methane concentration higher than 8% can be utilized through internal combustion engine power generation technology, but gas with a methane concentration lower than 8% is difficult to utilize and is directly discharged into the atmosphere, causing huge energy waste and atmospheric greenhouse effects. In addition, low-concentration gas with a methane concentration of 5% - 16% has explosion hazards and has potential safety hazards of combustion and explosion during the transmission process of the gas extraction pipeline. Taking corresponding technical measures to increase the concentration of underground extracted gas is beneficial to improving the gas utilization rate, thereby avoiding the waste of clean energy and the emission of methane greenhouse gases. To improve the utilization value of low-concentration gas, currently, a gas concentration improvement system is mainly established on the ground to increase the methane concentration in the gas. For example, "A method for separating and purifying methane in coalbed methane in a mine area by using pressure swing adsorption" disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN103205297A, "Enriching methane in coal mine gas by pressure swing adsorption" disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN85103557, and "A method for pressure swing adsorption fractional concentration of low-concentration gas" disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN101596391A all establish large-scale centralized pressure swing adsorption systems on the ground, and configure additional booster pumps or vacuum pumps to provide pressure swing adsorption power. This method has huge investment, high energy consumption and poor fault tolerance. A failure in a certain part of the system will cause the entire system to shut down, and there are relatively high safety hazards in treating a large amount of low-concentration gas concentrated in a small area.

[0003] In contrast, although the traditional pressure swing adsorption technology can effectively concentrate gas, its energy consumption is relatively high, resulting in a relatively low overall efficiency. After the adsorbent is saturated, this method requires a high-pressure desorption gas flow to regenerate the adsorbent, which not only consumes energy but also adds additional operation steps and equipment, affecting the overall operation efficiency of the system. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can both increase the gas concentration and generate electricity efficiently to make full use of gas resources and reduce the demand for additional energy.

After increasing the air temperature, it enters the adsorption tower to drive the high-temperature desorption and regeneration of oxygen and / or nitrogen adsorbents therein. The flue gas containing carbon dioxide also enters the adsorption tower after drying treatment, and the displacement effect of carbon dioxide is used to further promote the desorption of methane and / or oxygen, producing high-concentration methane; subsequently, low-concentration gas is introduced, and oxygen and / or nitrogen therein are adsorbed by the adsorbent, while the high-concentration methane in the gas is concentrated into the high-concentration methane product gas at the top of the adsorption tower.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0035] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0036] The variable-temperature displacement enrichment and power generation coupling system and the variable-temperature displacement enrichment and power generation coupling method for coal mine gas drainage proposed by the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0037] It may include: a gas generator 1, a fan 2, a waste heat boiler 3, a heat exchanger 4, a drying tower 5, and a variable-temperature displacement enrichment subsystem 6.

[0038] Among them, the exhaust gas pipeline of the gas generator 1 is connected to the flue gas inlet of the waste heat boiler 3, the flue gas outlet of the waste heat boiler 3 is connected to the heat source inlet of the heat exchanger 4, the heat source outlet of the heat exchanger 4 is connected to the inlet of the drying tower 5, the outlet of the drying tower 5 is connected to the displacement gas inlet In-3 of the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6, the cold source inlet of the heat exchanger 4 is connected to the fan 2, the cold source outlet of the heat exchanger 4 is connected to the regeneration gas inlet In-2 of the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6, the gas raw material inlet In-1 of the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6 is connected to the coal mine gas output pipeline, and the product gas outlet Out-1 of the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6 is connected to the intake pipeline of the gas generator 1.

[0039] Specifically, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the gas generator 1 generates steam through the waste heat boiler 3 for heating; the flue gas discharged from the waste heat boiler 3 enters the heat exchanger 4 to heat the air conveyed by the fan 2, and the heated air enters the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6 to promote the desorption and regeneration of the adsorbent in the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6; the flue gas containing carbon dioxide discharged from the heat exchanger 4 enters the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6 after being dried by the drying tower 5 to displace methane and / or oxygen adsorbed by the adsorbent, producing high-concentration methane; after the desorption and regeneration of the adsorbent is completed, gas raw material gas is introduced into the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6, and oxygen and / or nitrogen in the gas raw material gas are selectively adsorbed by the adsorbent to concentrate methane; the high-concentration methane produced in the displacement and adsorption stages enters the gas generator 1 through the product gas outlet to enable the gas generator 1 to generate electricity. Among them, the concentration range of the high-concentration methane is 9-20%.

[0040] Specifically, the gas generator 1 uses the concentrated and enriched methane to generate electricity. When the gas generator 1 operates, it will generate high-temperature flue gas, and these flue gases first enter the waste heat boiler 3 to generate steam using its heat. Subsequently, the flue gas discharged from the waste heat boiler 3 flows into the heat exchanger 4. The temperature of the flue gas discharged from the waste heat boiler 3 is 150°C - 200°C, and it exchanges heat with the air conveyed by the fan 2 to heat the air, heating the air conveyed by the fan 2 to 60°C - 120°C. The heated air is sent into the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6 to help the adsorbent in it complete the desorption and regeneration process. At the same time, the flue gas containing carbon dioxide discharged from the heat exchanger 4 also enters the variable temperature displacement concentration subsystem 6 after being dried by the drying tower 5, and is used to displace oxygen and / or nitrogen adsorbed on the adsorbent. Among them, the relative humidity of the flue gas is less than 10% after passing through the drying tower 5. When the desorption and regeneration of the adsorbent is completed, gas raw material gas is introduced into this subsystem, and oxygen and / or nitrogen in the gas raw material gas will be selectively adsorbed by the adsorbent, so that methane can be concentrated. Among them, the gas raw material gas is coal mine extracted gas, and the methane concentration in it is 2% - 8%. Finally, the concentrated and enriched methane returns to the gas generator 1 through the product gas outlet and continues to be used for power generation.

[0042] It should be noted that in the temperature-variable displacement concentration subsystem 6 of the present invention, multiple adsorption towers can be provided. The setting of the first adsorption tower 61 and the second adsorption tower 62 in the temperature-variable displacement concentration subsystem 6 is only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation to this application. When multiple adsorption towers are provided in the temperature-variable displacement concentration subsystem 6, multiple adsorption towers can be connected through corresponding components according to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0043] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the cycle process of the temperature-variable displacement concentration subsystem 6 for performing temperature-variable displacement concentration on the coal mine extracted gas includes:

[0044] Step S1, the first adsorption tower 61 adsorbs to produce gas, and the second adsorption tower 62 undergoes high-temperature desorption: Open the first gas intake valve I-1 and the first gas production control valve I-4, and introduce the coal mine extracted gas into the first adsorption tower 61 from the bottom under a preset pressure. Oxygen and nitrogen are adsorbed on the adsorbent, and the enriched methane product gas flows out from the top of the first adsorption tower 61.

The adsorbed oxygen and / or nitrogen are desorbed at high temperature and discharged from the second adsorption tower 62. After the high-temperature desorption in the second adsorption tower 62 is completed, close the second regeneration gas intake valve II-2 and the second exhaust valve II-5. Among them, the range of the preset pressure is 3-10 kPa;

[0045] Step S2, the first adsorption tower 61 adsorbs to produce gas, and the second adsorption tower 62 undergoes displacement desorption: The enriched methane product gas is produced at the top of the first adsorption tower 61. After the first adsorption tower 61 completes gas production by adsorption, control the first gas intake valve I-1 and the first gas production control valve I-4 to close. At the same time, open the second displacement gas intake valve II-3, and the flue gas containing carbon dioxide enters the second adsorption tower 62. Under the displacement action of carbon dioxide, the adsorbed oxygen and nitrogen on the adsorbent are further desorbed and discharged from the second adsorption tower 62. After the displacement is completed, close the second displacement gas intake valve II-3 and the second gas production control valve II-4;

After the first adsorption tower 61 completes high-temperature desorption, close the first regeneration gas intake valve I-2. At the same time, open the second gas intake valve II-1 and the second gas production control valve II-4, and introduce the coal mine extracted gas into the second adsorption tower 62 from the bottom under a preset pressure. Oxygen and nitrogen are adsorbed on the adsorbent, and the enriched methane product gas flows out from the top of the second adsorption tower 62;

As Figure 2 shown, when the raw gas is low-concentration gas with 5% CH4, the concentration change of the gas produced in the adsorption stage is presented. It can be seen from this figure that the CH4 concentration can be increased from 5% to 12.5%. Figure 3 After desorption at 100 °C, the concentration change of the gas produced in the CO2 displacement stage is shown. It can be seen from this figure that the highest CH4 concentration in the produced gas can reach 20%. The above experimental results show that high-concentration CH4 product gas can be produced in both the adsorption and displacement stages of the temperature-variable displacement of the present invention.
