Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of natural gas purification, and particularly relates to a wide-concentration-adapted natural gas deep decarburization membrane separation-membrane absorption device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing demand for clean energy and the increasingly stringent environmental protection regulations worldwide, as a relatively clean fossil fuel, the purification treatment of natural gas, especially the removal of CO2, is increasingly demanding. Deep removal of CO2 is not only a key step to meet the pipeline gas quality standard, but also a necessary prerequisite for the subsequent natural gas liquefaction process (which requires the CO2 content to be reduced to 0.005%).
[0003] At present, the mainstream natural gas decarburization technology in industry mainly includes chemical absorption method (such as tower absorption) and physical separation method (such as membrane separation). The tower absorption method is mature in technology, has high decarburization depth, and has certain adaptability to CO2 concentration fluctuations of raw gas. However, it has poor adaptability to complex working conditions, and in the working conditions of limited space and swinging on offshore platforms, the stable operation of large tower equipment, liquid level control, solvent entrainment and other problems are more prominent, and the safety risk is increased. The membrane separation method utilizes the selective difference of dense membranes for CO2 and other components in natural gas to realize CO2 removal under the driving of pressure difference, and has simple and compact process flow, light equipment and easy modularization. However, it cannot remove CO2 in natural gas to less than 0.005%.
[0004] Although some researches have tried to couple membrane separation with other technologies (such as tower absorption) to overcome their respective shortcomings, the existing schemes often have the following problems: the integration method is complex, the process is not optimized, and the synergistic advantages of the two technologies cannot be fully utilized. The adaptability to a wide range of CO2 concentrations is insufficient, and the system robustness is poor. The guarantee capacity for deep decarburization is limited. There is insufficient design consideration for the stable, efficient and compact operation requirements under severe working conditions such as offshore swinging. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field to develop a new decarburization technology and device that has both deep decarburization and wide concentration adaptability, and can efficiently and stably process natural gas raw materials with a wide range of CO2 concentration changes.
