Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of desulfurization, in particular to a desulfurization equipment for hydrogen production from natural gas. BACKGROUND

[0002] Industrial gases such as natural gas, biogas, coke oven gas, fuel gas, etc. often contain hydrogen sulfide components. Natural gas hydrogen production usually adopts steam methane reforming (MR) or autothermal reforming (ATR) process, which relies on nickel-based or other metal catalysts. Sulfides (such as hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, etc.) in natural gas will combine with catalyst active sites, causing permanent poisoning and deactivation of the catalyst, significantly reducing reaction efficiency and increasing production costs. At the same time, sulfides, especially hydrogen sulfide, will produce acidic substances such as sulfuric acid when reacting at high temperatures or with water vapor, corroding pipelines, reactors and other equipment, shortening the service life of the device and increasing maintenance costs. Therefore, it is necessary to separate sulfides in advance in the process of natural gas hydrogen production. At present, using existing natural gas desulfurizers for desulfurization treatment is a common method. This method mainly relies on the reaction or adsorption of desulfurizing agents with sulfides in natural gas to remove sulfides to meet the requirements of hydrogen production process for raw gas.

[0003] However, there is a significant problem in the use of existing natural gas desulfurizers, which is the need for regular replacement of desulfurizing agents. When the desulfurizing agent reaches saturation or failure, its surface active sites are completely occupied by sulfides and impurities, and the crystal structure collapses irreversibly, resulting in a cliff-like drop in chemical adsorption capacity. According to industry statistics, traditional iron oxide-based desulfurizing agents have an average operating cycle of only 30-45 days when treating high-sulfur natural gas (H2S content > 200 ppm), which is far below the continuous production requirements of industrialization.

[0004] The complexity of replacement operations further exacerbates production disruption losses. First, operators must strictly follow confined space operation procedures and use special lifting equipment to remove the desulfurization tower as a whole after the equipment is cooled to below 40°C and the oxygen content meets the standards. The desulfurizing agent attached inside, due to long-term sulfidation reaction, forms a hard iron sulfate salt crystalline layer and a viscous organic sulfur polymer, which is difficult to remove by conventional scraping methods and often requires high-pressure water jet (pressure ≥ 20 MPa) combined with mechanical crushing.

[0005] In the filling link, the new active carbon-based desulfurizing agent has a filling density (0.55-0.65 g / cm 3) and uniformity requirements are extremely high, need to help vibration filler 5-8 layers of filling step, each layer interval laid silk screen to prevent flow deviation. Reinstallation, also need to carry out 48 hours of nitrogen replacement, pressure test (1.25 times design pressure pressure 30 minutes) and performance calibration, the whole shutdown maintenance cycle is as long as 7-10 days, the production capacity loss caused during the period can reach 15%-20% of the monthly output of a single device.

[0006] For the entire desulfurization process, multiple changes of the desulfurizer will bring a series of adverse effects. Each time the desulfurizer is replaced, a large amount of time is consumed, resulting in a decrease in the effective operation time of the desulfurization equipment, thereby reducing the overall efficiency of the hydrogen production from natural gas.

[0007] In summary, the existing natural gas desulfurizer has problems such as complicated operation and long time consumption when replacing the desulfurizer, which seriously affects the efficiency of hydrogen production from natural gas. Therefore, the desulfurization equipment for hydrogen production from natural gas is improved to solve the problems of the existing equipment when replacing the desulfurizer, improve the desulfurization efficiency, and improve the production efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0040] It should be noted that all the directionality indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement condition, etc. between components in one specific posture (as shown in the drawings), and if the specific posture changes, the directionality indications also change accordingly.

[0041] Embodiment 1: In order to reduce the influence of replacing the desulfurizing agent on hydrogen production from natural gas, the present embodiment provides a new desulfurization device. When the desulfurization device is used, two sets of desulfurization devices are installed in parallel and in communication with each other on a natural gas conveying pipeline, and the two sets of desulfurization devices simultaneously desulfurize the natural gas. When it is necessary to replace the desulfurizing agent, the gas inlet end of the desulfurization device that needs to be replaced is closed, and the other desulfurization device is working normally, so that the replacement of the desulfurizing agent can be completed under the condition that the natural gas is continuously desulfurized. In addition, the desulfurization device is provided with a structure for quickly disassembling and replacing the desulfurizing agent, further reducing the influence of the replacement of the desulfurizing agent on the hydrogen production efficiency from natural gas.

[0042] As Figures 1-13 shown, specifically, the desulfurization equipment includes a support shaft 5, a set of connecting mechanisms 6, two support pipes 1, two sets of inner pipe groups 7, two sets of support frames 4, two end housings 2, etc.

[0043] As Figures 1-5 shown, the support shaft 5 is connected through bearings and arranged in the middle of the connecting mechanism 6, and the two sets of support frames 4 are respectively installed at the two ends of the support shaft 5, so that the connecting mechanism 6 can be stably arranged at one height when rotating around the shaft. The two support pipes 1 are respectively installed at the two ends of the connecting mechanism 6, and the relative positions of the two support pipes 1 can be adjusted when the connecting mechanism 6 rotates.

[0044] As Figures 1-5 shown, the two end housings 2 are respectively provided with gas conveying pipes on the sides away from each other, and one of the support pipes 1 is installed between the two end housings 2 and the inner pipe group 7 is installed in the support pipe 1, and the inner pipe group 7 is filled with desulfurizing agent. After the support pipe 1 with the desulfurizing agent is connected to the natural gas pipeline, the desulfurization of the natural gas can be realized through the desulfurizing agent. The other inner pipe group 7 has not been connected to the natural gas flow channel, which can facilitate the cleaning and replacement of the desulfurizing agent in the inner pipe group 7 when the desulfurization process is normally carried out. In addition, the valve body 3 is installed on the gas conveying pipe of the end housing 2 installed at the gas inlet end of the support pipe 1, and the valve bodies 3 of the two sets of desulfurization equipment are connected to the same natural gas inlet pipeline, so that the opening and closing of the gas inlet end of the support pipe 1 can be controlled through the valve body 3. For example, when the desulfurizing agent needs to be replaced, the gas inlet end of the support pipe 1 is cut off through the valve body 3, and the support pipe 1 and the end housing 2 are disassembled to remove the restriction of the support pipe 1. Then, the position of the two support pipes 1 is adjusted by rotating the connecting mechanism 6, so that the other support pipe 1 with the inner pipe group 7 and the desulfurizing agent is connected to the natural gas conveying pipeline to realize desulfurization. At the same time, the staff disassembles the support pipe 1 that needs to be replaced to remove it from the connecting mechanism 6, and finally completes the replacement of the desulfurizing agent in the support pipe 1.

The protruding end of the sleeve 53 is arranged through a brake lever 54, the end of the brake lever 54 is inserted into the brake hole 64 of the connecting mechanism 6, and the connecting mechanism 6 can be stably placed by being controlled. When it is needed to exchange the positions of the support pipes 1, the brake lever 54 is pulled out of the brake hole 64 to release the restriction of the connecting mechanism 6.

[0047] As shown in Figure 7 , specifically, the brake lever 54 is fixedly arranged with a baffle 55 on the side close to the connecting pipe 61, and a spring 56 in a compressed state is sleeved on the brake lever 54, the two ends of the spring 56 are in contact with the sleeve 53 and the baffle 55 respectively, under the action of the spring 56, the baffle 55 is in contact with the connecting mechanism 6, and the brake lever 54 is inserted into the brake hole 64. When it is needed to control the rotation of the connecting mechanism 6, the spring 56 is compressed again by pulling the brake lever 54, so that the brake lever 54 is separated from the brake hole 64.

[0048] As shown in Figure 7 , in order to stably and statically install the support shaft 5 on the support frame 4, a connecting seat 51 is sleeved on the end of the support shaft 5, and the connecting seat 51 and the support shaft 5 are connected by a positioning pin or the like to limit the rotation of the support shaft 5. In addition, the connecting seat 51 is installed on the top of the support frame 4.

[0049] As shown in Figure 11 , Figure 12 , in order to be able to fill the desulfurizing agent in the inner pipe group 7, the inner pipe group 7 includes an inner pipe body 71, a flow dividing plate 73 and a grid 75 arranged at both ends of the inner pipe body 71, the inner pipe body 71, the flow dividing plate 73 and the grid 75 jointly constitute a filling space of the desulfurizing agent, and the flow dividing plate 73 and the grid 75 are detachably installed, so as to facilitate the staff to disassemble and assemble to complete the replacement of the desulfurizing agent.

[0051] As shown in Figure 11 , Figure 12As shown, in order to realize detachable installation of the flow distribution plate 73 and the grid 75, the annular baffle 72 is connected to one side of the flow distribution plate 73 and the grid 75 close to each other by bolts, and the annular baffle 72 is fixedly installed on the inner pipe body 71, so that the detachable installation of the flow distribution plate 73 and the grid 75 can be realized by detaching the bolts. In addition, the outer diameter of the flow distribution plate 73 and the grid 75 is equal to the inner diameter of the inner pipe body 71, and the side away from each other of the flow distribution plate 73 and the grid 75 is flush with the two end faces of the inner pipe body 71.

In addition, a sealing layer can be provided on the contact surface of the inner pipe body 71 and the support pipe 1 to realize the sealed contact of the inner pipe body 71 and the support pipe 1.

[0053] As shown in the figure, Figure 10 , Figure 13 In order to stably install the support pipe 1 between the two end shells 2, flanges are fixedly provided at the end of the support pipe 1 and the end shell 2 close to each other, and two annular plates 11 are symmetrically arranged on the support pipe 1, and the side away from each other of the two annular plates 11 is fixedly installed with a plug column 13. When the support pipe 1 moves between the two end shells 2, the annular plate 11 is pushed to move, forcing the plug column 13 to penetrate the hole of the flange of the support pipe 1 and the end shell 2, and a nut is arranged on the threaded end of the plug column 13, and rotating the nut can force the two flanges to approach and connect. In order to seal the connection of the support pipe 1 and the end shell 2, a sealing ring 21 is arranged on the side of the flange of the end shell 2 close to the support pipe 1, and the sealing ring 21 is arranged close to the flange of the support pipe 1.
