Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of triethylene glycol dehydration process equipment, in particular to a filling device for a high-purity triethylene glycol regeneration system. Background Art

[0002] As a traditional natural gas dehydration process technology, TEG natural gas dehydration technology is widely used in the development of natural gas in oil and gas fields due to its advantages of easy regeneration, high dehydration efficiency and low operating cost. TEG is widely used in the dehydration process of natural gas as a dehydration medium. The purpose of natural gas drying is achieved by absorbing water by lean TEG. At the same time, the rich TEG after water absorption is dehydrated and regenerated into lean TEG through the TEG regeneration system, so as to achieve the recycling of TEG, which greatly reduces the cost of natural gas extraction. The filling port of the traditional TEG dehydration system is located on the reboiler or buffer tank, without other special designs.

[0003] When the TEG filling port is located in the buffer tank, the filling process will affect the regeneration concentration of TEG. When the filling port is located in the reboiler, the fresh TEG will affect the temperature distribution in the reboiler during the filling process, which will have an adverse effect on the temperature control of the electric heater and even cause the reboiler to have excessive power, resulting in local high temperature, causing the TEG to thermally decompose and deteriorate.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design a high-purity triethylene glycol regeneration system filling device to solve the above-mentioned triethylene glycol filling and dehydration problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the specific technical scheme of the high-purity triethylene glycol regeneration system filling device of the utility model is as follows:

[0028] Fresh triethylene glycol is added to the preheating pipe 3 in the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 through the triethylene glycol filling pump 4 to preheat the fresh triethylene glycol. The preheated fresh triethylene glycol flows into the reboiler 2 for primary heating to vaporize the water in the fresh triethylene glycol and flows into the stripping tower 5 for further vaporization and separation to convert the fresh triethylene glycol into high-purity lean triethylene glycol. The high-purity lean triethylene glycol is cooled by the triethylene glycol heat exchanger and flows into the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 for storage. The present application reduces the impact of the triethylene glycol filling process on the regenerated concentration of triethylene glycol, reduces the power demand of the reboiler 2 for the fresh triethylene glycol filling process, and reduces the probability of the triethylene glycol regeneration concentration not meeting the standard due to local low temperature; the design of the liquid diversion pipe 8 of the filling device avoids the high-purity lean triethylene glycol regeneration concentration not meeting the standard due to the filling of low-temperature fresh triethylene glycol, and even avoids the uneven temperature distribution in the reboiler 2 causing local high temperature, resulting in the thermal decomposition and deterioration of triethylene glycol, and the design utilizes the internal volume of the buffer tank to preheat the fresh triethylene glycol without occupying external space, thereby realizing a compact structure, improving the platform space utilization rate, and reducing the overall construction cost.

[0029] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the preheating tube 3 is arranged in the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 along the length direction of the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 to preheat the fresh triethylene glycol; the two ends of the preheating tube 3 are respectively connected with a filling port and a discharge port, the triethylene glycol filling pump 4 is connected to the filling port of the preheating tube 3, and the discharge port of the preheating tube 3 is connected to the reboiler 2, so that the preheated fresh triethylene glycol flows into the reboiler 2; a liquid diverter tube 8 is provided in the reboiler 2, one end of the liquid diverter tube 8 is connected to the reboiler 2, and one end of the liquid diverter tube 8 and the reboiler 2 is connected to the discharge port of the preheating tube 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the preheating pipe 3 is arranged at the lower end of the inside of the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 and is extended along the length direction of the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 to fully preheat the fresh triethylene glycol added to the preheating pipe 3.

Fresh triethylene glycol preheated by the preheating pipe 3 flows into the liquid diversion pipe 8 and then flows into the reboiler 2. The reboiler 2 performs preliminary vaporization and dehydration on the fresh triethylene glycol. The preheating pipe 3 reduces the influence of the regeneration concentration of high-purity lean triethylene glycol, reduces the power demand of the reboiler during the fresh triethylene glycol filling process, and reduces the probability of the regeneration concentration of triethylene glycol failing to meet the standard due to local low temperature.

[0032] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of openings are evenly provided on the liquid diverter pipe 8, and the liquid diverter pipe 8 is arranged inside the reboiler 2 along the length direction of the reboiler 2. Fresh triethylene glycol flows into the reboiler 2 from the openings of the liquid diverter pipe 8 to evenly heat the fresh triethylene glycol. The reboiler 2 is provided with a stripping gas inlet, which is connected to the stripping gas outlet of the stripping tower 5. The end of the reboiler 2 away from the stripping gas inlet is connected to a drain pipe, which is connected to the end of the stripping tower 5 away from the air inlet to regenerate the fresh triethylene glycol.

[0033] In this embodiment, the liquid diverter pipe 8 is provided with a plurality of openings, and the liquid diverter pipe 8 is arranged in the reboiler 2 along the length direction of the reboiler 2.

[0034] A stripping gas inlet is provided at the top of the reboiler 2, which is connected to the stripping gas outlet of the stripping tower 5. A liquid discharge pipe is provided on the reboiler 2 to allow the liquid fresh triethylene glycol in the reboiler 2 to flow into the stripping tower 5, and the stripping tower 5 performs deep dehydration.

[0038] Fresh triethylene glycol is added to the preheating pipe 3 in the triethylene glycol buffer tank 2 by the triethylene glycol filling pump 5. The preheating pipe 3 preheats the fresh triethylene glycol and then flows into the liquid diversion pipe 8. The fresh triethylene glycol in the liquid diversion pipe 8 flows evenly into the reboiler 2 for heating and dehydration. The fresh triethylene glycol after heating and dehydration flows into the stripping tower 5 for deep dehydration again into high-purity lean triethylene glycol. The water vapor is discharged from the stripping gas outlet connected to the top of the stripping tower 5 after passing through the reboiler. The high-purity lean triethylene glycol flows into the triethylene glycol heat exchanger 6 for cooling. The cooled high-purity lean triethylene glycol flows into the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 for storage.

[0039] Based on the filling device of the high-purity triethylene glycol regeneration system, the utility model fills fresh triethylene glycol into the preheating pipe 3 in the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 through the triethylene glycol filling pump 4, so that the fresh triethylene glycol is preheated, and the preheated fresh triethylene glycol flows into the reboiler 2 for heating to vaporize the water in the fresh triethylene glycol, and the initially dehydrated triethylene glycol flows into the stripping tower 5 for further deep dehydration, so that the fresh triethylene glycol is converted into high-purity lean triethylene glycol, and the high-purity lean triethylene glycol is cooled by the triethylene glycol heat exchanger 6 and flows into the triethylene glycol buffer tank 1 for storage.
