Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] The purpose of this invention is to provide a natural gas deacidification device and a natural gas deacidification process to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which can ensure the natural gas deacidification effect while facilitating transportation and installation.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Existing natural gas deacidification units utilize large-sized deacidification absorption towers and amine regeneration towers, exceeding height limits and posing challenges for transportation and on-site installation. Conversely, smaller towers fail to achieve the desired deacidification effect. Therefore, simply reducing the size of the absorption and regeneration towers is insufficient to solve this problem. To ensure effective deacidification while facilitating transportation and installation, this invention provides a natural gas deacidification device, as described in the reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the system includes a tower-type skid and a horizontal skid. The tower-type skid has upper halves of multiple absorption towers and upper halves of multiple regeneration towers; the horizontal skid has lower halves of multiple absorption towers and lower halves of multiple regeneration towers. The tower-type skid can be fixedly mounted on the horizontal skid, so that the upper halves of the absorption towers can be fixedly and sealed to the corresponding lower halves of the absorption towers by threaded connection or by snap-fit ​​with sealing rings to form multiple absorption towers connected in series. The upper halves of the regeneration towers can be fixedly and sealed to the corresponding lower halves of the regeneration towers by threaded connection or by snap-fit ​​with sealing rings to form multiple regeneration towers connected in series. The regeneration towers and absorption towers are connected by pipelines. The absorption towers can use sprayed amine lean solution to contact natural gas to achieve acid removal from the natural gas. The regeneration towers can supply amine lean solution to the absorption towers and regenerate the amine rich solution formed after acid removal in the absorption towers into amine lean solution, which is then resupplyed to the absorption towers. This invention separates the integrated absorption tower and integrated regeneration tower into two absorption towers and two regeneration towers connected in series, respectively. While maintaining performance, this reduces the size and height of the equipment, lowers production and processing difficulty, facilitates transportation and on-site installation, and streamlines later maintenance and adjustments. The absorption tower and regeneration tower are further divided into upper and lower sections, and upper and lower sections, respectively, which are skid-mounted within tower-type and horizontal skids, further reducing the size and height of the equipment. The entire device consists of two skids: a tower-type skid and a horizontal skid. This reduces the overall height while maintaining performance, significantly reduces transportation limitations for each skid, facilitates transport, makes on-site installation more convenient, and adapts to complex site conditions.

[0023] In one embodiment, the absorption tower includes a first absorption tower 1 and a second absorption tower 2. The upper halves of the first absorption tower 1 and the second absorption tower 2 are fixedly installed inside a tower skid, and the lower halves of the first absorption tower 1 and the second absorption tower 2 are fixedly installed inside a horizontal skid. The bottom of the first absorption tower 1 is provided with a natural gas inlet, and the top of the first absorption tower 1 is connected to the bottom of the second absorption tower 2 through a natural gas pipeline. The top of the second absorption tower 2 is externally connected to a post-processing device through a natural gas pipeline. Both the top of the first absorption tower 1 and the top of the second absorption tower 2 are provided with a spraying device, which is used to spray the lean amine solution. The regeneration tower in this embodiment includes a first regeneration tower 3 and a second regeneration tower 4. The upper halves of the first regeneration tower 3 and the second regeneration tower 4 are fixedly installed in tower-type skids, and the lower halves of the first regeneration tower 3 and the second regeneration tower 4 are fixedly installed in horizontal skids. The top of the second regeneration tower 4 is connected to the bottom of the first absorption tower 1 and the second absorption tower 2 respectively through a rich amine liquid pipeline, and the bottom of the second regeneration tower 4 is connected to the top of the first regeneration tower 3 through an amine liquid pipeline. A regeneration tower delivery pump 13 is provided on the amine liquid pipeline between the second regeneration tower 4 and the first regeneration tower 3. The bottom of the first regeneration tower 3 is connected to the spray devices of the first absorption tower 1 and the second absorption tower 2 respectively through a lean amine liquid pipeline. A lean liquid pump 12 and a lean liquid cooler 9 are sequentially provided on the lean amine liquid pipeline.

[0024] In one embodiment, the post-processing equipment includes a natural gas cooler 15 and a natural gas separator 16 fixedly installed within a horizontal skid. The top of the second absorption tower 2 is sequentially connected to the natural gas cooler 15 and the natural gas separator 16 via a natural gas pipeline. The output end of the natural gas separator 16 is used to connect to a dehydration device. A lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 11 is installed within the horizontal skid. Both the rich amine liquid pipeline and the lean amine liquid pipeline flow through the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 11, allowing heat exchange between the rich amine liquid in the rich amine liquid pipeline and the lean amine liquid in the lean amine liquid pipeline within the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 11. Figure 5 As shown, a reboiler 10 is connected to one side of the first regeneration tower 3. After the amine-rich liquid in the first regeneration tower 3 is heated in the reboiler 10, it is circulated back into the first regeneration tower 3 to form an amine-lean liquid. A reboiler 10 is connected to one side of the second regeneration tower 4. After the amine-rich liquid in the second regeneration tower 4 is heated in the reboiler 10, it is circulated back into the second regeneration tower 4 to form an amine-lean liquid.

[0025] In one embodiment, both the first regeneration tower 3 and the second regeneration tower 4 are equipped with acidic gas pipelines. The acidic gas pipelines of the first regeneration tower 3 and the second regeneration tower 4 converge and connect to an acidic gas main pipe. The acidic gas main pipe is sequentially connected to an acidic gas cooler 5, an acidic gas separator 6, and a sulfur recovery unit. The acidic gas separator 6 is connected to both the first regeneration tower 3 and the second regeneration tower 4 via a liquid phase pipeline. A regeneration tower reflux pump 14 is installed on the liquid phase pipeline, which pressurizes the liquid phase separated in the acidic gas separator 6 and returns it to the second regeneration tower 4. A lean liquid pump 12 is connected to an activated carbon adsorber 7 pipeline and a dosing device 8 pipeline, which can perform defoaming adsorption filtration on the amine solution. Both the activated carbon adsorber 7 pipeline and the dosing device 8 pipeline are equipped with solenoid valves. The activated carbon adsorber 7 pipeline is used to remove heavy hydrocarbons, other liquid contaminants, and dissolved solids from the lean liquid. The dosing device 8 pipeline is used to add defoamer, effectively reducing the surface tension of the liquid and reducing foaming loss of the amine solution. The lean liquid cooler 9 is connected to an underground amine liquid tank via a replenishment pipeline equipped with a solenoid valve. The underground amine liquid tank is used to store amine liquid.

[0026] This invention incorporates various online analyzers, including online hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide detectors, into its pipelines and equipment, enabling online monitoring of various natural gas parameters and providing timely early warning information. Furthermore, it adds online metering instruments to the traditional natural gas processing system, allowing for monitoring of parameters such as gas pressure and flow rate without the need for on-site sampling.

[0027] The present invention also provides a natural gas desulfurization process based on the above-mentioned natural gas desulfurization device, with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps: Natural gas feedstock acid removal process: Natural gas feedstock enters from the bottom of the first absorption tower 1 and flows from bottom to top through the first absorption tower 1, where it comes into countercurrent contact with the MDEA lean liquid sprayed from the top of the tower. The MDEA lean liquid is an amine lean liquid, which absorbs acidic gases such as CO2 and H2S in the gas. The treated natural gas is drawn out from the top of the first absorption tower 1 and enters the bottom of the second absorption tower 2. After being absorbed and deacidified again by the MDEA lean liquid, it is drawn out from the top of the second absorption tower 2. After being cooled by the natural gas cooler 15, it enters the natural gas separator 16 for gas-liquid separation, and then enters the existing dehydration equipment for dehydration. Both the dehydration equipment and the dehydration process are mature existing technologies.

[0028] Amine liquid regeneration process: After the MDEA lean liquid sprayed at the top of the absorber comes into contact with natural gas, the CO2 and H2S content increases, turning it into MDEA rich liquid. The MDEA rich liquid is also known as amine rich liquid. It is discharged from the bottom of the absorber and enters the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 11 to exchange heat with the higher-temperature lean liquid and is heated to 96°C before entering the second regeneration tower 4 for stripping regeneration. After being collected at the bottom of the second regeneration tower 4, it is then pressurized by the regeneration tower delivery pump 13 and sent to the first regeneration tower 3 for stripping regeneration again. At the same time, the reboiler 10 heated by heat transfer oil raises the temperature of the amine rich liquid to 114°C to generate amine vapor. The acidic gas in the amine liquid is desorbed, and the amine liquid is circulated and regenerated until it is converted into amine lean liquid. The regenerated amine lean liquid flows out from the bottom of the first regeneration tower 3 and is cooled by exchanging heat with the lower-temperature amine rich liquid through the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 11. After being pressurized by the lean liquid pump 12, the amine lean liquid is cooled to the required temperature by the lean liquid cooler 9 and returned to the first absorber tower 1 and the second absorber tower 2. The acidic gas exiting from the top of the first regeneration tower 3 and the second regeneration tower 4 carries a small amount of amine liquid. This gas enters the acid gas cooler 5 for cooling and the acid gas separator 6 for gas-liquid separation before entering the subsequent sulfur recovery unit, which is a mature, existing technology. The liquid phase in the acid gas separator 6 is pressurized by the regeneration tower reflux pump 14 and returned to the second regeneration tower 4. Figure 5 The red line represents the flow path of the lean amine solution, and the blue line represents the flow path of the rich amine solution. Amine solutions lost during operation are replenished by drawing amine solutions from the underground amine tank using a replenishment pump. The replenished amine solution is prepared by mixing amine solutions from the underground amine tank with demineralized water.

The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
