The recovery and processing capacity is designed according to the actual working conditions to meet the requirements for pressurized recovery of low-pressure sour natural gas from a single well, thereby avoiding environmental pollution caused by the emission of low-pressure sour natural gas.

[0033] The following is a detailed description of the natural gas ejector pressurization process in this application;

[0034] Working nozzle process:

[0035] (1) After the working fluid enters the working nozzle, it goes through the following process:

[0036] a. Pressure reduction and acceleration process: The gas is accelerated and depressurized in the tapered nozzle flow channel. When the gas reaches the nozzle throat, both the velocity and pressure reach the critical value.

[0037] b. Diffusion and acceleration process: After the gas passes through the nozzle throat, it is further accelerated in the nozzle expansion section, causing the flow rate to exceed the critical value.

[0038] (2) Carrying and mixing stage: After the high-speed working fluid flowing out of the nozzle enters the receiving chamber, the dynamic pressure of the high-speed fluid at the nozzle outlet is lower than the static pressure of the ejected fluid entering the annular space of the receiving chamber. The working fluid carries the ejected fluid into the mixing chamber. In the mixing chamber, the ejected fluid is fully mixed under the impact of the high-speed working airflow.

[0039] (3) Diffusion and pressure recovery process: After being fully mixed, the high and low pressure fluids gradually decrease in velocity and recover pressure in the diffuser pipe. Finally, the velocity reaches the pipeline speed and the pressure is higher than that of the ejector fluid (pressurizing the ejector fluid) and lower than that of the working fluid, and enters the pipeline system.

[0040] Design of technical measures;

[0041] A. Install a one-way valve and a stop valve on the low-pressure sulfur-containing natural gas pipeline to prevent overpressure caused by shutting off the external gas transmission and reflux. Add a flow meter and a pressure gauge to measure the exhaust volume of the sewage tanker and observe the pressure change. The pressure level and material of the stop valve to the separator pipeline are the same. The pressure level and material of the stop valve to the sewage tank connection pipeline are the same as the sewage tank.

[0042] B. Stop valves shall be installed at the gas phase outlet of the sewage tank and the exhaust pipe of the sewage tank truck to prevent the exhaust gas of the sewage tank truck from entering the low-pressure gas of the sewage tank and causing safety accidents. The exhaust gas shall enter the venting torch.

[0043] C. The torch does not ignite in normal production status;

[0044] D. In an emergency situation, venting and ignition can be implemented by relying on the original process.

[0045] E. Venturi tube jet boost recovery, due to slight vibration due to flow velocity changes, a pipeline should be set to fix it.

[0046] F. The venturi tube jet booster flow expansion will produce temperature drop and pressure drop. The temperature and pressure of the natural gas at the outlet of the water jacket furnace should be appropriately adjusted.

[0047] Technical advantages: 1. It can be applied to flash gas recovery of triethylene glycol unit. 2. Low-pressure natural gas recovery in wellhead gas production wastewater tank. 3. Single well and gas gathering station realize fully enclosed operation during normal production, fully enclosed wastewater transportation, low-pressure natural gas is not discharged for ignition, and the combustion of sulfur-containing natural gas pollutes the environment and reduces the occupational injury of operating staff.

[0048] Application prospects of the results:

[0049] 1. It can meet the national safety standards related to low-pressure recovery of sour natural gas.

[0050] 2. Low-pressure natural gas, biogas, coal-bed methane, etc. can be recycled and utilized in the later stage.
