Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of compressed natural gas recovery and production devices, in particular to a wellhead gas recovery and production CNG system. Background Art
[0002] Compressed natural gas refers to gaseous natural gas that has been compressed to a pressure greater than or equal to 10MPa and not greater than 25MPa. It is natural gas that is pressurized and stored in a container in a gaseous state. A CNG recovery system is usually used for natural gas extraction and recovery at the wellhead. However, a large amount of sewage, liquid and sand will still be entrained in the raw gas at the wellhead. In order to ensure that the natural gas entering the pipeline network does not contain sand and liquid, the system will use filtration, gas-liquid separation, dryer drying and other links. The existing filtration links are mostly achieved through filter valves. The filter cartridge inside the filter valve is prone to accumulation after being used for a period of time and needs to be disassembled and cleaned, which is more troublesome and inefficient. The existing equipment that performs filtering while carrying a sewage discharge structure is mostly auger sewage discharge, which has poor air tightness. Due to the high pressure of the high-pressure mixed fluid at the wellhead, it is easy to cause leakage, which is not convenient for application in CNG recovery systems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0017] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a wellhead gas recovery CNG system is composed of a pretreatment box 1, a nozzle manifold 2, a gas-liquid separator 3, a CNG compressor 4, a dryer 5 and a gas filling column 6;
[0018] The nozzle manifold 2 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 3, the gas outlet pipe of the gas-liquid separator 3 is connected to the CNG compressor 4, the exhaust pipe of the CNG compressor 4 is connected to the dryer 5, and the dryer 5 pipe is connected to the gas filling column 6;
[0019] The pretreatment box 1 is composed of a box body 11 and a filter screen layer 21 installed inside the box body 11. An inclined plate group 12 is installed in the pretreatment box 1 below the filter screen layer 21. The inclined plate group 12 is mainly used for preliminary blocking of sand and gravel. The filter screen layer 21 performs secondary filtering. A gathering bucket 22 is installed at the bottom of the box body 11. A sealed sewage discharge cylinder 15 is installed at the bottom bucket mouth of the gathering bucket 22. The sealed sewage discharge cylinder 15 is arranged horizontally. A sewage discharge cylinder 10 is installed at one end of the sealed sewage discharge cylinder 15. The sewage discharge cylinder 10 adopts an electric cylinder. The piston rod end of the sewage discharge cylinder 10 extends into the sealed sewage discharge cylinder 15 and is installed with a sealed sewage discharge plug group 20. Sewage is discharged through the sealed sewage discharge plug 20;
[0020] An upper liquid level sensor 17 and a lower liquid level sensor 16 are installed on the inner wall of the box body 11 below the inclined plate group 12 from top to bottom. A drain valve 18 is installed on the box body 11 between the upper liquid level sensor 17 and the lower liquid level sensor 16, which mainly discharges the sewage guided by the inclined plate group 12.
[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model also discloses the following more optimized specific structures:
[0022] The sealed sewage plug group 20 is composed of a long plug body 201 and a short plug body 203, which are connected together by a plug connecting rod 202. The long plug body 201 is arranged on the side close to the sewage cylinder 10, and a sewage hole 19 is provided on the top wall of the sealed sewage cylinder 15. Sand, gravel and sludge fall into the cavity between the long plug body 201 and the short plug body 203 and are discharged.
[0023] A filter exhaust pipe is installed on the top of the box body 11 , and the end of the filter exhaust pipe is connected to the nozzle manifold 2 .
[0024] A box air inlet pipe 13 is installed on the side of the box body 11 , and a ground safety valve 9 is installed at the air inlet end of the box air inlet pipe 13 . The gas at the wellhead first passes through the ground safety valve 9 and then enters the box body 11 .
[0025] The drain valve 18 is connected to the sewage tank 8 through a drain pipe, and the gas-liquid separator 3, the CNG compressor 4, and the dryer 5 are all connected to the sewage tank 8 through pipelines.
[0026] The gas filling column 6 is connected to a CNG tube bundle vehicle 7 through a gas filling pipeline for easy transportation.
[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3When the wellhead gas recovery CNG system shown is in use, the wellhead mixed gas first returns to the pretreatment box 1 for treatment. During the treatment process, the inclined plate group 12 inside the pretreatment box 1 will block most of the sand and water under the impact of the mixed fluid, and accumulate at the bottom of the pretreatment box 1. Through the internal upper liquid level sensor 17 and the lower liquid level sensor 16, it is convenient to control the water at a certain liquid level. At the same time, the sewage cylinder 10 is started, and the sand and gravel fall into the cavity between the long plug body 201 and the short plug body 203. Then the sealed sewage plug group 20 moves so that the cavity reaches the outside of the sealed sewage cylinder 15 to discharge the debris. At this time, the long plug body 201 completely blocks the sewage hole 19 to make it sealed. After resetting, the long plug body 201 and the short plug body 203 are sealed together, so that the internal air tightness is excellent, and the high-pressure mixed gas is prevented from leaking through the bottom;
[0028] The pretreated gas first enters the nozzle manifold 2 to adjust the pressure to within 6-8MPa, separates free water through the gas-liquid separator, enters the CNG compressor 4 through natural gas, is gradually pressurized to 25Mpa, and then enters the dryer 5 (molecular sieve dehydration) for deep dehydration. After dehydration, it is measured by the gas filling column 6 and loaded into the CNG tube bundle vehicle 7 for transportation.
[0029] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above-mentioned embodiments. The above-mentioned embodiments and the specification only illustrate the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements shall fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
