Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil and gas recovery, and more specifically, it relates to a stacked membrane module and an oil and gas recovery treatment system. Background Art
[0002] The application of membrane modules in oil and gas recovery systems is a major highlight of modern environmental protection technologies. Its core principle lies in the use of carefully designed membrane materials to achieve precise separation of oil and gas from air by taking advantage of the differences in the permeability of different gas molecules. The efficiency of this technology lies in the selective permeability of its membrane materials. During the oil and gas recovery process, oil and gas molecules can preferentially pass through the membrane layer and thus be effectively collected, while air is discharged through the other side of the membrane, ensuring environmental protection standards for tail gas emissions. There are many common types of membrane modules, such as tubular membrane modules, which have a simple structure and are convenient for large-scale applications; spiral wound (rolled) membrane modules, which are favored for their high surface area utilization efficiency; and hollow fiber membrane modules, which have a unique structure and excellent mass transfer performance. However, in practical applications, these membrane modules also face the inconvenience of replacing membrane materials. Due to the structural complexity of the membrane module and the particularity of the installation location, replacing membrane materials often requires professional operation and takes a long time, which undoubtedly increases the maintenance cost and complexity of the system.

[0030] In this embodiment, there are four flow guide plates 2, and the four flow guide plates 2 are arranged vertically and horizontally. The positions of the openings 21 of adjacent flow guide plates 2 are on opposite sides of the housing 1. A membrane stack 3 is arranged between the flow guide plates 2. In this solution, the airflow needs to pass through each layer of the flow guide plate 2, and its path is in an S shape. A membrane stack 3 is arranged between the flow guide plates 2. This arrangement of the solution can make the airflow traverse all the membrane stacks 3, achieving full separation of the gas.
[0031] In this embodiment, an installation table 14 is provided inside the housing 1. A first sealing groove is provided on the installation table 14. A second sealing groove corresponding to the first sealing groove is provided on the flow guide plate 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, an annular sealing groove is provided on the side wall of the perforation 22. A second sealing ring 23 is provided in the annular sealing groove.

[0034] In this embodiment, it further includes a support gasket 31; the support gasket 31 is annular; positioning holes 311 and positioning pins 312 are evenly arranged at intervals on the support gasket 31; the support gaskets 31 are stacked and staggered, and the positioning pins 312 of the lower layer are inserted into the positioning holes 311 of the upper layer; the membrane bag 32 is arranged between two support gaskets 31; the middle opening 21 of the membrane bag 32 is aligned with the inner circle of the support gasket 31; a third sealing groove is arranged on the inner wall of the support gasket 31; a third sealing ring 33 is arranged in the third sealing groove; the third sealing ring 33 abuts against the central tube 15; a plurality of layers of through holes 131 are arranged along the axis on the central tube 15; each layer of through holes 131 includes a plurality of through holes 131; each layer of through holes 131 is located between two support gaskets 31; the third sealing ring 33 is located between two layers of through holes 131. Through the third sealing ring 33, other unseparated substances can be prevented from entering the central tube 15 through the gaps on the support gasket 31 and polluting the separated gas.
[0035] In this embodiment, the membrane leaf includes a reinforcing layer 322 and a separation layer 321; the reinforcing layer 322 is made of one material among PSF, PEI, and PAN; the separation layer 321 covers the reinforcing layer 322; the separation layer 321 is made of PDMS or POMS material. The reinforcing layer 322 is used to support the separation layer 321, so that the separation layer 321 can better adhere, maintain a flat state, and ensure that the thickness of the separation layer 321 on the membrane leaf is uniform.
[0036] During use, the gas to be separated enters the housing 1 through the air inlet 11 and flows along an S-shaped path in the housing 1 under the guidance of the flow guide plate 2; during the flowing process, it passes through the membrane bag 32, and the membrane material on the surface of the membrane bag 32 allows the separated gas to pass through; the separated gas enters the central tube 15 through the opening 21 in the middle of the membrane bag 32; after the central tube 15 collects the gas, the separated gas is discharged through the gas return port 12. The remaining gas is discharged through the exhaust port 13.
[0037] This embodiment also provides an oil and gas recovery treatment system for the gasoline storage tank 41. It includes an air extraction pump 42, a membrane module, and a vacuum pump 43; the membrane module adopts the stacked membrane module 44 provided in this embodiment.

[0038] When the internal pressure of the storage tank 41 rises to the set start-up value, the air extraction pump 42 and the vacuum pump 43 are started, and the oil and gas enter the membrane module. Under the suction of the vacuum pump 43, the polymer oil and gas are precipitated through the membrane surface and then return to the underground tank, while the air cannot be precipitated through the membrane module and is directly discharged up to the standard.
[0039] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows: by adopting a square membrane bag, the utilization rate of the membrane bag is improved. The independently installed membrane bag is convenient for maintenance and replacement, and it is also convenient to clean the membrane bag.
