Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of LNG processing, in particular to a novel dehydration and dehydrocarbon removal device of an LNG plant. Background Art

[0002] LNG is increasingly being used worldwide for its high gasification rate, low carbon emissions, and convenient transportation. As the proportion of natural gas in energy supply increases rapidly, the establishment of large-scale liquefaction plants with low energy consumption and high optimization is of great significance for seizing the domestic new energy market and getting rid of dependence on imported LNG. Natural gas is pretreated to remove unfavorable components in the liquefaction process (acidic components, moisture, heavy hydrocarbons and mercury, etc.), and then enters the heat exchanger of the refrigeration system to continuously cool down, and condense and separate the mixed refrigerant step by step, and finally turns into liquid at normal pressure (about -160℃), and LNG products can be obtained. Conventional LNG plants usually use two or three towers for adsorption regeneration to deeply remove moisture from natural gas; and then use the cold energy generated by the liquefaction device to separate and remove heavy hydrocarbons in natural gas.

[0003] For example, the natural gas multi-tower external circulation anaerobic regeneration dehydration method with application number: CN201310134630.3, especially the natural gas dehydration device and process method for large-scale centralized processing of natural gas pipeline transportation and LNG preparation station, is characterized in that: the water-containing natural gas passes through the adsorption tower under normal temperature conditions and uses the adsorbent to adsorb the water in the gas, and then uses the external regeneration gas to anaerobic regenerate the adsorbent in the adsorption tower and recycle it, so that the impurity components such as water and heavy hydrocarbons adsorbed on the adsorbent are desorbed so that the adsorption tower can carry out the next adsorption process. Each adsorption tower will go through the adsorption, depressurization, purging, heating, cooling and pressure-increasing processes. The process has the characteristics of simple process, high dehydration efficiency, extended adsorbent service life, reduced operating costs, and low energy consumption.

[0004] The natural gas dehydration device in the above-mentioned document is a traditional dehydration and dehydrogenation device with many equipment and facilities, complex operation, high engineering cost, and high requirements on the operator level. Once the heavy hydrocarbons are not removed properly, it is very easy to cause the refrigeration system to freeze and block, resulting in unnecessary venting losses.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed a new dehydration and dehydrogenation device for LNG plants in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] A limiting rod is fixedly connected between the damping rods, a limiting sleeve is nested and connected on the limiting rod, and the limiting sleeve is fixedly connected to the buffer block.

[0013] Furthermore, the buffer block and the limiting sleeve are an integrated structure, and the buffer block forms a sliding structure through the rotating rod and the buffer rod, and the buffer block forms an elastic structure through the buffer spring and the damping rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the adjustment structure includes a threaded rod, the threaded rod is nested and connected to the dryer, a handle is fixedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod, and a baffle is threadedly connected to the outer end of the threaded rod;

[0015] A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the baffle, and a sealing groove is provided on the dryer.

[0016] Furthermore, the baffle plate forms a sliding structure through the threaded rod and the positioning rod, and the diameter of the baffle plate is greater than the maximum diameter of the exhaust pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, a filter screen is nested and connected to the outer end of the exhaust pipe, a pull rod is nested and connected to the sealing ring, and a return spring is fixedly connected between the pull rod and the sealing ring, and the other end of the return spring is nested and connected to the exhaust pipe.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0019] 1. The hot air delivered by the hot air blower to the air inlet pipe is used to resolve the moisture and heavy hydrocarbons adsorbed in the molecular sieve by heating. At the same time, the wind output by the cold air blower carries the cold air to the inside of the dryer through the cold delivery pipe in a circular manner.

At this time, the baffle will move under the drive of the thread of the threaded rod, and the positioning rod will limit the moving baffle so that the baffle moves to the exhaust pipe interface and blocks the exhaust pipe under the sealing joint action of the sealing groove and the sealing ring. At this time, the gas will not be discharged outward through the exhaust pipe, and the filter can be replaced better. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
