[0031] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The embodiment of the utility model provides a skid-mounted gas wellhead desander device, comprising a throttle valve 1, a safety cut-off valve 2, a cyclone gravity desander 3 and a filter desander 4.

[0033] The inlet of the cyclone gravity desander 3 is connected to the gas well through a pipeline, and the throttle valve 1 and the safety shut-off valve 2 are sequentially connected and arranged on the connecting pipeline between the cyclone gravity desander 3 and the gas well. The throttle valve 1 is used to throttle and reduce the pressure of the gas mixture from the gas well so that the pressure meets the preset conditions before flowing into the cyclone gravity desander 3, and the gas mixture is a sand-carrying gas; optionally, along the flow direction of the gas, a first pressure gauge 5 is provided upstream of the throttle valve 1, and the first pressure gauge 5 is suitable for being electrically connected to an external monitoring device. Preferably, the first pressure gauge 5 is a remote pressure gauge, which is connected to the central control room through a cable, and the monitoring personnel can read the on-site parameters of the remote pressure gauge in the hollow room for monitoring and control. Preferably, the throttle valve 1 is an electric throttle valve 1.

[0034] Along the flow direction of the gas, the safety shut-off valve 2 is arranged downstream of the throttle valve 1. A second pressure gauge 6 is arranged between the safety shut-off valve 2 and the cyclone gravity desander 3. The second pressure gauge 6 is suitable for being electrically connected to an external monitoring device. The safety shut-off valve 2 is a self-powered automatic emergency shut-off valve. The second pressure gauge 6 is a remote pressure gauge. When the pressure of the second pressure gauge 6 exceeds or falls below a preset value, an alarm is triggered. When the pressure further increases or decreases, the safety shut-off valve 2 can be automatically closed.

[0035] In this embodiment, by providing the throttle valve 1 and the safety cut-off valve 2, it can be ensured that the gas mixture from the gas well flows into the cyclone gravity desander 3 after satisfying the pressure conditions.

[0036] The safety shut-off valve 2 has indication signals that can display the valve position status: ZSC signal and ZSO signal. When the safety shut-off valve 2 is open, ZSC indicates 0 and ZSO indicates 1; when the safety shut-off valve 2 is closed, ZSC indicates 1 and ZSO indicates 0. The safety shut-off valve 2 is connected to the external control system, and the safety shut-off valve 2 can feed back the above indication signals to the control system to monitor the valve position status of the safety shut-off valve 2.

[0037] Preferably, the cyclone gravity desander 3 is a cone separator. The cyclone gravity desander 3 is provided with cyclone internal components, such as cyclone blades. The sand and gravel in the gas sink to the bottom after cyclone and gravity sedimentation, and the gas is discharged from the outlet of the cyclone gravity desander 3. The cyclone gravity desander 3 is provided with a desanding port at the bottom. The cyclone gravity desander 3 has a sedimentation area at the bottom. The bottom of the sedimentation area is a conical mud bucket 32. The desanding port at the bottom of the mud bucket 32 ​​is connected to a sand discharge pipe 71, which is suitable for discharging the mud and sand settled in the mud bucket 32. The gas mixture enters the cyclone gravity desander 3 for gas-liquid-solid separation: the large-particle liquid phase and the large-particle solid phase settle to the sedimentation area at the bottom of the cyclone gravity desander 3 by gravity and are discharged from the sand discharge pipe 71, while the gas phase and the small-particle solid phase flow into the filter desander 4 through the outlet of the cyclone gravity desander 3. The function of the cyclone gravity desander 3 is equivalent to a three-phase separator.

[0038] Optionally, a safety pressure relief valve 31 is provided on the upper part of the cyclone gravity desander 3. When the internal pressure of the cyclone gravity desander 3 is too high, the safety pressure relief valve 31 can be opened to release the pressure to ensure that the internal pressure is within a preset reasonable range. An FBLO full-pass valve is also provided on the pipeline between the safety pressure relief valve 31 and the cyclone gravity desander 3, and the FBLO full-pass valve is in a normally open state; an NC normally closed valve is provided on the parallel bypass of the FBLO full-pass valve, and the NC normally closed valve is in a normally closed state. It should be noted that the connection method of the safety pressure relief valve 31, the FBLO full-pass valve and the NC normally closed valve is common knowledge in the art, and this embodiment does not further limit this.

[0039] The filter desander 4 is provided in multiple numbers and connected in parallel with each other. The inlet of the filter desander 4 is connected to the outlet of the cyclone gravity desander 3, and the outlet of the filter desander 4 is used to discharge the filtered gas; the filter desander 4 has a sewage outlet 41 and a backwash outlet 42.

Optionally, the outlet of the filter desander 4 is connected to a gas pipe 74 , and the gas pipe 74 is used to output the gas filtered by the filter desander 4 ; a valve is provided on the gas pipe 74 .

[0040] In this example, there are two filter-type desanders 4, and the two filter-type desanders 4 are standby for each other. When one filter-type desander 4 needs to be cleaned, the valve at the inlet of another standby filter-type desander 4 can be opened to filter using the standby filter-type desander 4, and the filter-type desander 4 to be cleaned can be cleaned at the same time. The two filter-type desanders 4 are independent of each other and do not affect each other, thereby improving production efficiency. Of course, the number of filter-type desanders 4 can also be three or more. This embodiment does not limit the number of filter-type desanders 4, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to actual conditions.

[0041] When cleaning the filter desander 4 to be cleaned, it is necessary to first close the valve at the inlet of the filter desander 4, then open the valve on the backwashing pipeline 72 and the valve on the venting pipeline 75, inject clean water or cleaning liquid into the filter desander 4 through the backwashing pipeline 72 to backwash it, and the sewage after backwashing is discharged through the venting pipeline 75. Backwashing the filter desander 4 can improve its filtering efficiency.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sand and gravel in the gas mixture are separated in sequence by the cyclone gravity desander and the filter desander 4, and 99.9% of solid particles above 5 μm can be filtered out.
