Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sulfur-containing shale gas gathering, transportation and treatment technology, specifically to a combined wastewater and gas treatment system and method for sulfur-containing shale gas. Background Technology

[0002] Sulfur-bearing shale gas is an important natural gas resource. With the large-scale development of shale gas, its treatment has become a critical issue. The extraction process generates large amounts of wastewater and gases containing harmful substances such as hydrogen sulfide. Improper treatment can cause serious environmental pollution and pose safety hazards and quality problems for subsequent shale gas processing and utilization. Therefore, effective treatment and reuse of sulfur-bearing shale gas is extremely important. Current technologies have conducted some research and application of skid-mounted equipment for sulfur-bearing shale gas field development, but these are mainly single-unit skid-mounted units with limited functionality (wastewater and gas need to be treated separately).

[0003] Existing treatment technologies often separate wastewater and gas, resulting in complex processes, high costs, and poor treatment effects, failing to achieve efficient and synergistic treatment of wastewater and gas. Furthermore, with the continuous development of shale gas fields, the number of shale gas wells on the same platform is gradually increasing, and the wells generally exhibit inconsistent pressures. Existing skid-mounted equipment for shale gas field gathering and transportation has limited functionality and adaptability, and its high- and low-pressure shale gas separation function is incomplete, only applicable to wells with consistent pressure and pressure decay. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a system and method that can achieve the joint treatment of sulfur-containing shale gas wastewater and gas. Summary of the Invention

[0021] II. A method for combined treatment of wastewater and gas containing sulfur shale gas

[0022] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a method for the combined treatment of wastewater and gas containing sulfur shale gas, based on the wastewater and gas combined treatment system described above, comprising the following steps:

[0023] Step S1, Shale Gas Transportation: Sulfur-containing shale gas is transported to the inlet of the high and low pressure separator skid through the inlet pipeline, and the inlet pressure and flow rate are monitored and dynamically adjusted in real time by pressure sensors and flow control valves.

[0024] Step S2, high and low pressure gas-liquid separation: The two sets of cyclone separators in the high and low pressure separator skid operate synchronously or alternately according to the current pressure conditions of the air inlet, so as to perform gas-liquid separation of sulfur-containing shale gas under different pressure conditions.

[0025] Step S3, gas-liquid two-phase metering: The gas flow rate at the gas outlet and the liquid flow rate at the liquid outlet of the high-low pressure separator are monitored in real time using a gas flow meter and a liquid flow meter, and the metering data is fed back to the control system.

[0026] Step S4, wastewater dosing and flash evaporation treatment: The wastewater separated by the high and low pressure separator skid enters the sodium hypochlorite dosing skid. The sodium hypochlorite dosing skid dynamically adjusts the amount of sodium hypochlorite solution added by the metering pump according to the liquid flow information fed back by the liquid flow meter. The wastewater after sodium hypochlorite treatment enters the flash evaporation venting skid for flash evaporation treatment, so that the volatile gases in the wastewater are discharged through the vent pipe at the top of the flash evaporation venting skid.

[0027] Step S5, foaming and venting injection: The foaming agent is injected into the outlet of the high and low pressure separator skid and the venting pipe of the flash venting skid through the foaming and venting device to reduce the resistance during gas flow and enhance the liquid carrying capacity of the gas. The foaming and venting device dynamically adjusts the injection rate of the foaming agent through a frequency converter pump based on the gas flow information fed back by the gas flow meter.

[0028] Step S6, System Pipeline Cleaning: According to the preset cleaning cycle, a cleaning ball is periodically sent into the pipeline to push the impurities in the pipeline into the ball collection tube. After cleaning is completed, the cleaning ball is removed by opening the quick-opening blind flange on the ball collection tube, and the cleaned impurities are collected and processed.

[0029] The specific method for dynamically adjusting the amount of sodium hypochlorite solution added is as follows:

[0030] Q = Q0 + L × C1

[0031] In the formula, Q is the real-time addition amount of sodium hypochlorite solution, Q0 is the minimum addition amount of sodium hypochlorite solution, L is the liquid flow rate value fed back by the liquid flow meter, and C1 is the addition amount conversion coefficient.

[0032] The injection rate of the dynamically adjustable foaming agent is specifically calculated as follows:

[0033] V = V0 - G × C2

[0034] In the formula, V is the real-time injection rate of the foaming agent, V0 is the maximum injection rate of the foaming agent, G is the gas flow rate value fed back by the gas flow meter, and C2 is the rate conversion coefficient.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0036] 1. This invention, through the rational arrangement of the metering zone, high and low pressure separator skid, sodium hypochlorite dosing skid, flash evaporation venting skid, bubble discharge device and ball collection cylinder, has a high degree of functional integration. It can separate wastewater and gas while treating high sulfur shale gas, and carry out joint treatment of wastewater and gas, which can effectively reduce treatment costs, improve treatment effect and reduce environmental pollution.

[0037] 2. The high and low pressure separator of this invention adopts two sets of cyclone separation devices, which can meet the gas-liquid separation requirements under different wellhead pressure conditions during the normal production period and the treatment period of high sulfur shale gas, providing a good foundation for subsequent processing; through the setting of the gas-liquid two-phase metering zone, the flow rates of gas and liquid can be accurately measured, which facilitates the monitoring and management of the entire processing process.

[0038] 3. This invention effectively removes harmful substances such as hydrogen sulfide from wastewater by using the synergistic effect of the sodium hypochlorite dosing skid and the produced water flash evaporation venting skid, thus reducing the pollution of the environment. The bubble discharge device reduces the resistance during gas flow, improves the liquid carrying capacity of the gas, and ensures the stable operation of the system. The pig collection tube facilitates the recovery and reuse of the pigging pig, ensuring the smooth flow of the pipeline and reducing pipeline maintenance costs.

[0039] 4. This invention, through precise control of each processing stage, can achieve efficient treatment of sulfur-containing shale gas wastewater and gas, with good economic and environmental benefits. It has broad application prospects and is easy to promote. Attached Figure Description

[0049] Furthermore, a pressure sensor and a flow control valve are installed on the air intake pipe 100.

[0050] The pressure sensor is used to monitor the intake pressure of the high-low pressure separator skid 200 in real time and determine the current pressure condition of the intake port, which includes low pressure condition and high pressure condition.

[0051] Furthermore, the high-low pressure separator skid 200 is internally equipped with a first cyclone separation device and a second cyclone separation device. The gas-liquid separation of sulfur-containing shale gas under different pressure conditions includes:

[0052] When under high pressure, the first cyclone separator and the second cyclone separator start simultaneously, and the power of the cyclone motor is at the preset power level to increase the throughput of the separator skid and the gas-liquid separation speed.

[0053] When operating under low pressure, the first cyclone separator and the second cyclone separator are started alternately, and the power of the cyclone motor is at the preset power level 2 to reduce the energy consumption of the separator skid; wherein, the preset power level 1 is greater than the preset power level 2.

[0054] Furthermore, the liquid outlet and air outlet of the high-low pressure separator skid 200 are both equipped with one-way valves, and the exterior of the high-low pressure separator skid is wrapped with a heat insulation layer.

[0055] Furthermore, the sodium hypochlorite dosing skid 400 includes a storage tank, a metering pump, and a dosing pipeline. The storage tank is used to store sodium hypochlorite solution, and the metering pump controls the amount of sodium hypochlorite solution added in real time based on the wastewater flow information fed back by the liquid flow meter.

[0056] Furthermore, the flash venting skid 500 is equipped with a flash chamber, and a heating device is installed at the bottom of the flash chamber for heating the wastewater. The gas generated by flash venting is discharged through the venting pipe installed at the top of the flash venting skid 500, and the treated wastewater is transported to the wastewater treatment unit through the drainage pipe.

[0057] Furthermore, the foaming and venting device 600 includes a foaming and venting agent storage tank, a foaming and venting injection pump, and two foaming and venting branches, which are respectively connected to the air outlet of the high and low pressure separator skid 200 and the venting pipe of the flash venting skid 500.

[0058] The foaming branch pipeline is made of corrosion-resistant material, and the foaming injection pump is a variable frequency pump, which controls the injection rate of the foaming agent in real time based on the gas flow information fed back by the gas flow meter.

[0059] Furthermore, the ball collecting cylinder 700 is installed at the end of the drainage pipe, and the ball collecting cylinder 700 is equipped with a quick-opening blind plate to facilitate the removal and placement of the cleaning ball.

[0060] Example 2: This example provides a combined wastewater and gas treatment system for sulfur-containing shale gas, which has functions such as gas-liquid two-phase metering, high and low pressure shale gas distribution, gas-liquid separation, and high-efficiency wet desulfurization.

[0061] The high-low pressure separator skids are configured as follows: For 8 wells, under low-pressure conditions (operating pressure 2.0 MPa), with an average gas production of 25,000 cubic meters per well, the separator processes 20 × 10⁴ Nm³ / d of gas and 360 m³ / d of liquid; under high-pressure conditions (operating pressure 4.0 MPa), with an average gas production of 50,000 cubic meters per well, the separator processes 40 × 10⁴ Nm³ / d of gas and 360 m³ / d of liquid. For 14 wells, under low-pressure conditions (operating pressure 2.0 MPa), with an average gas production of 25,000 cubic meters per well, the separator processes 35 × 10⁴ Nm³ / d of gas and 600 m³ / d of liquid; under high-pressure conditions (operating pressure 4.0 MPa), with an average gas production of 50,000 cubic meters per well, the separator processes 70 × 10⁴ Nm³ / d of gas and 600 m³ / d of liquid.

[0062] One-way valves are installed at both the air outlet and liquid outlet of the high-low pressure separator skid to prevent gas-liquid backflow and ensure that the gas-liquid can smoothly enter the subsequent processing stage after separation, maintaining the stable operation of the system. At the same time, the high-low pressure separator skid is wrapped with an insulation layer, which can effectively reduce heat loss and avoid the gas-liquid separation effect being affected by temperature changes.

[0063] The gas-liquid two-phase metering zone is used to separately meter the separated gas and liquid, and includes a gas flow meter and a liquid flow meter. The gas flow meter is installed on the pipeline between the gas outlet of the high-low pressure separator skid and the subsequent processing equipment to accurately measure the gas flow rate; the liquid flow meter is installed on the pipeline between the liquid outlet of the high-low pressure separator skid and the sodium hypochlorite dosing skid to accurately measure the liquid flow rate.

[0064] The sodium hypochlorite dosing skid: After passing through high and low pressure separation, the fluid enters the dosing skid for desulfurization. Sodium hypochlorite has strong oxidizing properties and can undergo a redox reaction with sulfur-containing substances such as hydrogen sulfide in wastewater, oxidizing hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur or sulfate, thereby removing sulfur-containing substances from the wastewater. The sodium hypochlorite dosing skid is equipped with a dosing pump, a storage tank, and other equipment. The amount of sodium hypochlorite solution added is precisely controlled by a control system to ensure the treatment effect.

[0065] The flash venting skid is designed for a maximum flow rate of 300 m³ / d from one well during the initial trial production phase. The integrated skid-mounted water treatment capacity is considered for two wells operating simultaneously, resulting in a total flow rate of 600 m³ / d. The produced water flash separator is DN2000×6000mm. The produced water flash venting skid is connected to a sodium hypochlorite dosing skid and is used for flash evaporation treatment of the wastewater after sodium hypochlorite treatment. Inside the produced water flash venting skid, the wastewater rapidly evaporates under low pressure, causing some of the water and dissolved gases to escape, further reducing the volume and pollutant content of the wastewater. The gas generated during flash evaporation is discharged through a venting pipe, while the treated wastewater is transported to the subsequent wastewater treatment unit.

[0066] The bubble discharge device is connected to the gas outlet separated by the high-low pressure separator skid, and is used to further process the separated gas. The bubble discharge device is equipped with a foam generator and a filter. After the gas enters the bubble discharge device, it comes into full contact with the foam generated by the foam generator. The foam can adsorb small particles, droplets and some sulfur-containing substances in the gas. Then, the foam is separated from the purified gas by the filter, so that the gas is further purified.

[0067] The pig collection tube is located at the end of the pipeline in the system and is used to receive the pig cleaning balls. After the system has been running for a period of time, the pipeline needs to be cleaned. By sending the pig cleaning balls into the pipeline, the pig cleaning balls, propelled by gas or liquid, clean out impurities and dirt in the pipeline, and finally enter the pig collection tube for convenient collection and processing of the pig cleaning balls and the cleaned impurities.

[0068] Example 3, based on the same inventive concept, this example also provides a method for the combined treatment of wastewater and gas from sulfur-containing shale gas, based on the wastewater and gas combined treatment system described above, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0069] Step S1, Shale Gas Transportation: Sulfur-containing shale gas is transported to the inlet of the high and low pressure separator skid through the inlet pipeline, and the inlet pressure and flow rate are monitored and dynamically adjusted in real time by pressure sensors and flow control valves.

[0070] Step S2, high and low pressure gas-liquid separation: The two sets of cyclone separators in the high and low pressure separator skid operate synchronously or alternately according to the current pressure conditions of the air inlet, so as to perform gas-liquid separation of sulfur-containing shale gas under different pressure conditions.

[0071] Step S3, gas-liquid two-phase metering: The gas flow rate at the gas outlet and the liquid flow rate at the liquid outlet of the high-low pressure separator are monitored in real time using a gas flow meter and a liquid flow meter, and the metering data is fed back to the control system.

[0072] Step S4, wastewater dosing and flash evaporation treatment: The wastewater separated by the high and low pressure separator skid enters the sodium hypochlorite dosing skid. The sodium hypochlorite dosing skid dynamically adjusts the amount of sodium hypochlorite solution added by the metering pump according to the liquid flow information fed back by the liquid flow meter. The wastewater after sodium hypochlorite treatment enters the flash evaporation venting skid for flash evaporation treatment, so that the volatile gases in the wastewater are discharged through the vent pipe at the top of the flash evaporation venting skid.

[0073] Step S5, foaming and venting injection: The foaming agent is injected into the outlet of the high and low pressure separator skid and the venting pipe of the flash venting skid through the foaming and venting device to reduce the resistance during gas flow and enhance the liquid carrying capacity of the gas. The foaming and venting device dynamically adjusts the injection rate of the foaming agent through a frequency converter pump based on the gas flow information fed back by the gas flow meter.

[0074] Step S6, System Pipeline Cleaning: According to the preset cleaning cycle, a cleaning ball is periodically sent into the pipeline to push the impurities in the pipeline into the ball collection tube. After cleaning is completed, the cleaning ball is removed by opening the quick-opening blind flange on the ball collection tube, and the cleaned impurities are collected and processed.

[0075] The specific method for dynamically adjusting the amount of sodium hypochlorite solution added is as follows:

[0076] Q = Q0 + L × C1

[0077] In the formula, Q is the real-time addition amount of sodium hypochlorite solution, Q0 is the minimum addition amount of sodium hypochlorite solution, L is the liquid flow rate value fed back by the liquid flow meter, and C1 is the addition amount conversion coefficient.

[0078] The injection rate of the dynamically adjustable foaming agent is specifically calculated as follows:

[0079] V = V0 - G × C2

[0080] In the formula, V is the real-time injection rate of the foaming agent, V0 is the maximum injection rate of the foaming agent, G is the gas flow rate value fed back by the gas flow meter, and C2 is the rate conversion coefficient.

[0081] Furthermore, all parts of this application that are not described in detail are the same as or implemented using existing technology.

[0082] In summary:

[0083] 1. This invention, through the rational arrangement of the metering zone, high and low pressure separator skid, sodium hypochlorite dosing skid, flash evaporation venting skid, bubble discharge device and ball collection cylinder, has a high degree of functional integration. It can separate wastewater and gas while treating high sulfur shale gas, and carry out joint treatment of wastewater and gas, which can effectively reduce treatment costs, improve treatment effect and reduce environmental pollution.
