DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a gas-liquid separation device for water-containing natural gas comprises a gas-liquid separator 1 and a main delivery pipe 2. The main delivery pipe 2 is located below the gas-liquid separator 1. A water-containing natural gas inlet 3 is arranged in the middle of the side wall of the gas-liquid separator 1. A dry natural gas outlet 4 is arranged at the top of the gas-liquid separator 1. A liquid outlet 5 is arranged at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 1. A branch delivery pipe 6 connected to the water-containing natural gas inlet 3 is installed upstream of the main delivery pipe 2. A liquid discharge pipe 7 connected to the liquid outlet 5 is installed downstream of the main delivery pipe 2.
[0021] The gas-liquid separator 1 includes a vertical tank body 8 with a circular cross-section, a circular guide ring 9, an umbrella-shaped first guide cover 10, and multiple wave-shaped guide plates 11. The cross-section of the guide ring 9 is in the shape of a "√". A circle of circular guide grooves 15 is arranged on the guide ring 9. The guide ring 9 is welded to the inner upper part of the vertical tank body 8, the guide plate 11 is welded to the top of the guide ring 9, and the first guide cover 10 is welded to the top of the guide plate 11. The multiple guide plates 11 are arranged in a circular array. The guide ring 9 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 12 arranged in a circular array, and the drainage holes 12 are located at the bottom of the guide groove 15.
[0022] The diameter of the first guide cover 10 is larger than the inner diameter of the guide ring 9, and the diameter of the first guide cover 10 is smaller than the distance between the drainage hole 12 and the center of the guide ring 9, ensuring that the rising gas passes through the gap between the first guide cover 10, the guide ring 9 and the guide plate 10, increasing the movement path of the gas, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of gas-liquid separation.
[0023] An umbrella-shaped second air guide cover 13 is arranged above each drainage hole 12, and the diameter of the second air guide cover is larger than the diameter of the drainage hole 12. Two symmetrical support blocks 14 extending downward are arranged at the bottom end of the second air guide cover 13. The bottom ends of the support blocks 14 are welded to the guide ring 9. The second air guide cover 13 prevents the gas from passing through the drainage hole 12 and directly reaching the top of the guide ring 9.
[0024] A safety valve interface 16 is also provided on the side wall of the vertical tank body 8, and the safety valve interface 16 is located above the guide ring 9. A safety valve 17 is installed on the safety valve interface 16 to ensure that the air pressure in the vertical tank body 8 is within the pressure limit value of the vertical tank body 8.
[0025] A transparent observation window 18 for observing the liquid level inside the vertical tank body 8 is also provided on the side wall of the vertical tank body 8, and the transparent observation window 18 is located below the guide ring 9. The liquid level inside the vertical tank body 8 is observed through the transparent observation window 18 to avoid blockage of the main delivery pipe 2 or the discharge pipe causing the liquid level in the vertical tank body to exceed the guide ring.
[0026] The water-containing natural gas is delivered into the main transmission pipeline from the upstream of the main transmission pipeline. A part of the water-containing natural gas enters the gas-liquid separator through the branch transmission pipe. After separation in the gas-liquid separator, the natural gas is discharged from the dry natural gas outlet and transported to the gas generator through the pipeline for combustion and power generation. After the water converges, it is discharged back to the main transmission pipeline from the drain pipe; the other part of the water-containing natural gas is directly output through the main transmission pipeline to the subsequent natural gas extraction and production equipment.
[0027] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
