Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical production equipment, and particularly relates to a flare gas recovery and treatment system. Background Technique
[0002] The burning flare is an always-burning lamp and a characteristic of chemical production. Usually, flare gas mainly comes from process adjustments during normal production operations, emissions during equipment switching, relieving of safety valves and pressure control valves, gas emissions during startup, shutdown and abnormal handling, etc. The compositions of flare gas in different chemical production processes are not the same, and the gases discharged from each device to the flare system affect each other. Moreover, flare gas usually has a large discharge volume and high calorific value. If directly discharged to the atmosphere, on the one hand, the heat cannot be reasonably utilized, resulting in waste of resources; on the other hand, combustion exhaust gas is discharged to the atmosphere. Especially for hydrocarbon flare gas, the total emission is about 1500 m 3 / h, and the combustible gas in its gas composition accounts for about 58%. This not only causes waste of resources but also brings environmental pollution and does not meet the carbon emission requirements.
[0003] Domestic patent 202111186263.2, a flare gas recovery system and method for an offshore platform, collects flare gas through a flare gas recovery pipeline and then separates the gas phase and liquid phase using a flare liquid separation tank. The gas separated from the flare liquid separation tank is pressurized by a jet booster using the pressure regulating valve, quick-opening valve and rupture disc of the safety pressure regulating system, and the liquid separated from the flare liquid separation tank is transported to downstream condensate treatment, while the separated gas enters the flare system for combustion through the pressure regulating valve.
[0004] The existing treatment of flare gas recovery focuses on the condensate treatment of the liquid phase, and directly pressurizes the gas phase and then returns it to the flare system for combustion. However, the calorific value and combustible gas components of flare gas cannot be effectively utilized. Especially for hydrocarbon flare gas, the combustible gas in its gas composition accounts for about 58%. When directly entering the flare gas system for combustion, the recovered gas pressure is unstable and special pressurization equipment is required. Once the pressurization equipment fails, or when the flare gas production is small, it cannot ensure the stable gas pressure before entering the flare system. Moreover, the flare gas system only serves as a gas treatment method, and the combustible components of the gas are not well utilized, still resulting in problems of resource waste and environmental protection.

[0032] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements, numerical expressions, and numerical values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present utility model. At the same time, it should be clear that, for the sake of convenience of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in actual proportional relationships. Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the said technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the description. In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0033] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by orientation words such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal", and "top, bottom" are generally based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description.

[0036] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other. The following will describe the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0037] See Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of a flare gas recovery and treatment system described in the present application. The flare gas recovery and treatment system at least includes a flare gas liquid separation tank 1, a compressor unit 2, a flare gas water seal tank 3, and a heating furnace 4; a flare gas inlet 11 and a gas phase outlet 12 are provided on the flare gas liquid separation tank 1, and the flare gas inlet 11 is used to connect to flare gas; the gas phase outlet 12 is respectively communicated with the compressor unit 2 and the flare gas water seal tank 3; the flare gas liquid separation tank 1 is used to separate the flare gas into a gas phase part and a liquid phase part; the heating furnace 4 is communicated with the compressor unit 2 through a fuel gas pipeline 5, and the heating furnace 4 receives the gas phase part compressed by the compressor unit 2 and uses it as fuel; the flare gas water seal tank 3 is also communicated with an elevated flare 6; the flare gas water seal tank 3 collects the escaped gas phase part and leads it into the elevated flare 6.
[0038] In this embodiment, in the specific use process of the provided flare gas recovery and treatment system, the flare gas generated in production is introduced into the flare gas liquid separation tank 1 through a pipeline. In the flare gas liquid separation tank 1, the flare gas is separated into a gas phase part and a liquid phase part. Among them, the liquid phase part can be exported and recycled through other devices; the gas phase part leaves the flare gas liquid separation tank 1 through the gas phase outlet 12. Under normal working conditions, the gas phase part completes the gas compression operation through the compressor unit 2, thereby increasing its air pressure. The gas phase part with increased air pressure enters the heating furnace 4 through the fuel gas pipeline 5 and is used as fuel for combustion by the heating furnace 4, thereby recycling the available part in the flare gas; in an abnormal working state, such as when the compressor unit 2 suddenly breaks down or is shut down for maintenance, or the fuel gas pipeline 5 is blocked, the gas phase part cannot enter the heating furnace 4 through the compressor unit 2 for combustion and utilization. At this time, the gas phase part can enter the flare water seal tank 3, accumulate in the flare water seal tank 3, and enter the elevated flare 6 for combustion when reaching a certain pressure value range, avoiding safety risks caused by the failure to discharge the flare gas in time.
[0039] The flare gas recovery and treatment system provided in this embodiment separates the flare gas into gas phase and liquid phase after recovery, and can, according to the actual situation of unstable flare gas production, add a compressor unit to perform pressure boosting, cooling, and purification treatment on the flare gas, ensure the stable air pressure in front of the heating furnace, ensure the stable operation of the heating furnace, enable the gas to be fully combusted and utilized in the heating furnace, turn waste into treasure, and greatly reduce the hydrocarbon gas emissions, achieving the purpose of energy conservation, consumption reduction, and carbon emission reduction; at the same time, it also has a flare gas water seal tank 3 as an emergency safety design, which can also ensure that the flare gas is processed in time in case of emergency, avoiding safety risks.
[0040] Further, the working liquid in the flare gas knockout drum 1 can be selected as condensed oil, liquid hydrocarbon mixture or other working liquids well-known to those skilled in the art and applicable to hydrocarbon gases.
[0041] Further, the fuel gas pipeline 5 in this embodiment can also be connected to the fuel gas pipeline network of the factory to collect and use the recovered hydrocarbon gas as fuel.
[0042] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , in the present utility model, the gas phase outlet 12 is respectively connected to the compressor unit 2 and the flare gas water seal tank 3 through the gas phase outlet pipeline 7; a three-way switching valve 71 is provided on the gas phase outlet pipeline 7, and the three-way switching valve 71 is used to switch the connection path between the flare gas knockout drum 1 and the compressor unit 2, or the connection path between the flare gas knockout drum 1 and the flare gas water seal tank 3.
[0043] In this embodiment, a three-way switching valve 71 is provided on the gas phase outlet pipeline 7 to switch the connection relationship of the gas phase outlet pipeline 7 under different working scenarios. For example, under normal working conditions, the three-way switching valve 71 connects the flare gas knockout drum 1 and the compressor unit 2, and disconnects the connection between the flare gas knockout drum 1 and the flare gas water seal tank 3. At this time, the gas phase part completes the gas compression operation through the compressor unit 2, thereby increasing its air pressure. The gas phase part after increasing the air pressure enters the heating furnace 4 through the fuel gas pipeline 5 and is used as fuel for combustion by the heating furnace 4, so as to recycle the available part in the flare gas; in an abnormal working state, the gas phase part cannot enter the heating furnace 4 through the compressor unit 2 for combustion and utilization. At this time, the three-way switching valve 71 can be used to disconnect the connection between the flare gas knockout drum 1 and the compressor unit 2, and connect the flare gas knockout drum 1 and the flare gas water seal tank 3. The gas phase part enters the flare water seal tank 3, accumulates in the flare water seal tank 3, and enters the elevated flare 6 for combustion when reaching a certain pressure value range, avoiding safety risks caused by the failure to discharge the flare gas in time.
[0044] The flare gas recovery and treatment system provided in this embodiment can switch the flow direction according to the actual working conditions and adapt to various emergency working scenarios.
[0045] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can specifically select the model, manufacturer and installation method of the three-way switching valve 71 according to the actual production and use requirements, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment.
[0046] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , between the three-way switching valve 71 and the compressor unit 2 in the present utility model is a recovery pipeline 72, and a temperature sensor 721, a first pressure transmitter 722 and an oxygen content analyzer 723 are provided on the recovery pipeline 72.
[0047] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor 721, a first pressure transmitter 722, and an oxygen content analyzer 723 are provided on the recovery pipeline 72 between the three-way switching valve 71 and the compressor unit 2. The temperature of the gas phase part in the recovery pipeline 72 is detected by the temperature sensor 721, the air pressure of the gas phase part in the recovery pipeline 72 is detected by the first pressure transmitter 722, and the oxygen content of the gas phase part in the recovery pipeline 72 is detected by the oxygen content analyzer 723, so that the gas phase part entering the compressor unit 2 can be detected in real time. In practical applications, when the air pressure, temperature, and oxygen content of the gas phase part are unstable or the values are abnormal, if the gas phase part of the flare gas is continuously input into the compressor unit 2 at this time, it may cause safety risks such as explosion or leakage. Therefore, by setting the temperature sensor 721, the first pressure transmitter 722, and the oxygen content analyzer 723, the gas phase part of the flare gas is monitored in real time, and the working state of the flare gas recovery and treatment system is adjusted in time to avoid potential safety hazards.
[0048] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , a first control valve 724 is further provided on the recovery pipeline 72 described in the present utility model, and the first control valve 724 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 721, the first pressure transmitter 722, and the oxygen content analyzer 723 respectively.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first control valve 724 on the recovery pipeline 72 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 721, the first pressure transmitter 722, and the oxygen content analyzer 723 respectively. The detection and analysis results of the temperature sensor 721, the first pressure transmitter 722, and the oxygen content analyzer 723 are received through the first control valve 724 to switch the connection or disconnection state of the recovery pipeline 72.
[0050] Furthermore, when any two of the detection and analysis results of the temperature sensor 721, the first pressure transmitter 722, and the oxygen content analyzer 723 are abnormal, the first control valve 724 disconnects the recovery pipeline 72, otherwise the recovery pipeline 72 continues to be connected.
[0051] Exemplarily, when any two of the following conditions occur: the pressure of the gas phase part in the recovery pipeline 72 exceeds 6.5 kPa, the oxygen content exceeds 2%, and the temperature exceeds 40 °C, the first control valve 724 disconnects the recovery pipeline 72, otherwise the recovery pipeline 72 continues to be connected.
[0052] It should be noted that the first control valve 724 described in this embodiment can be any control valve well known to those skilled in the art, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment.
[0053] Optionally, referring to Figure 2, in the present utility model, a first manual valve 725 and a second manual valve 726 are further provided on the recovery pipeline 72. The first manual valve 725 is arranged on one side of the inlet end of the first control valve 724; the second manual valve 726 is arranged on one side of the outlet end of the first control valve 724.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first manual valve 725 and the second manual valve 726 are arranged on both sides of the first control valve 724, combining manual and automatic control to ensure the safety of the recovery pipeline 72.
[0055] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 , the flare gas recovery and treatment system in the present utility model further includes a compressed gas circuit 8. The compressed gas circuit 8 is connected to the recovery pipeline 72 and the fuel gas pipeline 5; a gas flow meter 51 is further arranged at one end of the fuel gas pipeline 5 close to the compressor assembly 2; a second control valve 81 is arranged on the compressed gas circuit 8, and the second control valve 81 is electrically connected to the gas flow meter 51.
[0056] In this embodiment, since the flare gas has the property of unstable production, during the production process, in order to avoid too little gas volume in the separated gas phase, resulting in the intake and outlet gas volumes of the compressor unit 2 being lower than the minimum value, bringing risks of equipment shutdown or even damage to the compressor unit 2, and the too small outlet gas volume affecting the working efficiency of the heating furnace 4, this embodiment sets up the compressed gas circuit 8. The gas flow meter 51 is used to detect the outlet gas volume of the compressor unit 2. When it is detected that the outlet gas volume of the compressor unit 2 is less than a certain specific value, the second control valve 81 makes the compressed gas circuit 8 in a connected state, so that the gas phase part output by the compressor unit 2 returns to the recovery pipeline 72 through the compressed gas circuit 8, converges with the newly output gas phase part of the flare gas liquid separation tank 1, and re-enters the compressor unit 2. The above operations are cycled until it is detected that the outlet gas volume of the compressor unit 2 reaches a certain specific value, and the second control valve 81 makes the compressed gas circuit 8 in a disconnected state, so that the gas phase part enters the heating furnace 4 for combustion and utilization.
[0057] This embodiment can ensure that the intake and outlet gas volumes of the compressor unit 2 are within a reasonable range, avoiding risks of equipment shutdown or even damage to the compressor unit 2 and avoiding affecting the working efficiency of the heating furnace 4.
[0058] Furthermore, the heating furnace 4 should also be connected to the fuel gas pipeline network in the factory to obtain fuel, so that when the flare gas production is insufficient to support the working needs of the heating furnace 4, it can still maintain its working state and avoid affecting the production process where it is located.
[0059] Optionally, referring to Figure 3, at one end of the fuel gas pipeline 5 close to the heating furnace 4 in the present utility model, a third control valve 52 is further provided; the third control valve 52 is electrically connected to the gas flowmeter 51.
[0060] In this embodiment, a third control valve 52 electrically connected to the gas flowmeter 51 is further provided on the fuel gas pipeline 5. Combining with the foregoing embodiment, the gas flowmeter 51 detects the gas output of the compressor unit 2. When it is detected that the gas output of the compressor unit 2 is less than a certain specific value, the second control valve 81 makes the compressed gas circuit 8 in a communicating state, and the third control valve 52 is also in a closed state accordingly, avoiding the continuous entry of the gas output of the compressor unit 2 into the heating furnace 4, affecting the combustion efficiency of the heating furnace 4, and reducing the gas intake of the compressor unit 2, bringing risks.
[0061] Optionally, referring to Figure 4 , the compressor unit 2 in the present utility model includes a first purifier 21, a compressor 22, and a cooler 23 that are connected in sequence. The compressor 22 is connected to the gas phase outlet 12, and the cooler 23 is connected to the heating furnace 4.
[0062] In this embodiment, the compressor unit 2 may include a first purifier 21, a compressor 22, and a cooler 23 that are connected in sequence. In actual use, the first purifier 21 is connected to the recovery pipeline 72, receives the gas phase part of the flare gas from the recovery pipeline 72, purifies the gas phase part, removes possible liquid or solid impurities therein, and outputs the purified gas phase part to the compressor 22 for pressurization to increase the pressure; the pressurized gas phase part enters the cooler 23 for temperature reduction so that after the temperature of the pressurized gas phase part drops to a specific range, it enters the heating furnace 4 through the fuel gas pipeline 5 for combustion. In this embodiment, the gas phase part of the flare gas is purified, pressurized, and cooled, so that it can be in a state with less impurities, and thus can burn fully in the heating furnace 4.
[0063] Optionally, referring to Figure 5 , the compressor unit 2 in the present utility model further includes a second purifier 24, and the second purifier is connected between the cooler 23 and the heating furnace 4.
[0064] In this embodiment, a second purifier 24 is further provided between the cooler 23 and the heating furnace 4, so as to purify the possible liquid part impurities generated during the pressurization and cooling processes of the gas phase part, and avoid its entry into the heating furnace 4, resulting in unstable working conditions and insufficient combustion of the heating furnace 4.
[0065] Optionally, a liquid phase outlet is provided on the flare gas liquid separation tank 1 in the present utility model, and the liquid phase outlet is communicated with the liquid recovery system through a liquid phase outlet pipeline.
[0066] In this embodiment, a liquid phase outlet is provided on the flare gas knockout drum 1, and the liquid phase part generated during the separation of the gas phase and the liquid phase is led to the liquid recovery system through the liquid phase outlet pipeline for utilization.
[0067] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can specifically select the specific structure and form of the liquid recovery system according to the actual production and use requirements, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment.
[0068] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
