Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas detection technology, and in particular to a device for detecting sulfides in natural gas. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas is a mixture of gases mainly composed of methane (CH4). It is a combustible gas resource formed underground and usually exists in underground oil and gas fields along with oil. Natural gas is a clean and energy-efficient energy source, widely used in heating, power generation, industrial production, and transportation. When using natural gas, in order to avoid safety hazards caused by excessive levels of sulfides, it is necessary to test the sulfides in natural gas.

[0003] Sulfides in gases are mainly inorganic sulfur compounds (H2S, SO2, SF6) and organic sulfur compounds (COS, CS2, thiols, thioethers, thiophenes). Sulfides in industrial gases can poison catalysts and are also the main substances that cause material corrosion. Therefore, the analysis of sulfides in gases is very important in production and daily life and is an indicator that must be controlled in workplaces and living areas.

[0004] Existing methods for detecting sulfides in natural gas include chemical analysis and electrochemical methods. These methods involve testing during natural gas transportation, which is always in a flowing state, making it impossible to perform tests while the gas is still flowing. Furthermore, the interfaces between main and branch pipelines contain a lot of impurities that accumulate on the detector, which can seriously affect the lifespan of the sulfide detector and the accuracy of the test.

[0047] To further optimize the above technical solution, the sealing and venting assembly 3 includes:

[0048] A sliding plate 31 is disposed inside the connecting main pipe 21. A sliding groove is disposed inside the connecting main pipe 21.

[0058] Working Principle: When it is necessary to detect sulfides in the natural gas in natural gas pipeline 1, the detection method is determined. For detection in a non-flowing state, firstly, vent one is opened, and the rotating rod 34 corresponding to vent one is rotated. The rotating rod 34 drives the rotating gear 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the sliding plate 31 to slide. The sealing arc plate 32, driven by the sliding plate 31, moves away from vent one, connecting branch pipe one 22 and connecting main pipe 21. Natural gas enters the sulfide detector through connecting branch pipe one 22 and connecting branch pipe three 25. When the gas volume is sufficient, the rotating rod 34 is rotated, causing the sliding plate 31 to drive the sealing arc plate 32 back to its original position. This allows for detection of the natural gas in the natural gas pipeline 1 in a non-flowing state. When the natural gas passes through connecting branch pipe three 25, it passes through the filter screen 41 to filter impurities. For detection in a flowing state, firstly, vent one is opened, and the rotating rod 34 corresponding to vent one is rotated. The rotating rod 34 drives the rotating... Gear 33 rotates, causing sliding plate 31 to slide. Sealing arc plate 32 moves away from air hole one under the action of sliding plate 31, connecting branch pipe 1 22 to connecting main pipe 21. Air hole two is opened, and rotating rod 34 corresponding to air hole two is rotated. Rotating rod 34 drives rotating gear 33 to rotate, causing sliding plate 31 to slide. Sealing arc plate 32 moves away from air hole two under the action of sliding plate 31, connecting branch pipe 2 23 to connecting main pipe 21. Natural gas enters sulfide detector 5 through connecting branch pipe 1 22 and connecting branch pipe 3 25, and can return to connecting main pipe 21 through connecting branch pipe 2 23. It can detect the flow state of natural gas in the natural gas pipeline. When natural gas passes through connecting branch pipe 3 25, it passes through filter screen 41 to filter impurities in the natural gas. After a period of testing and use, the impurities in the collection frame 42 of filter assembly 4 can be removed, and filter screen 41 can be replaced as needed.

[0059] Therefore, this utility model provides a natural gas sulfide detection device with the above-mentioned structure, equipped with two sets of sealed ventilation components. When both sets of sealed ventilation components are open, the flow state of natural gas is detected. When one set is opened and then closed, some natural gas enters the sulfide detection component to achieve detection in a non-flowing state. This allows for the determination of whether the natural gas entering the sulfide detector is in a flowing state, enabling the detection of sulfides in natural gas in both non-flowing and flowing states. It is suitable for various detection situations. Furthermore, a filter component is provided to filter impurities in the natural gas entering the sulfide detector, solving the problem that a large amount of impurities in the pipeline accumulate on the detector, which seriously affects the lifespan and accuracy of the sulfide detector. The filter component can be removed to replace the filter screen, and the filtered impurities fall into the collection frame and do not remain in the pipeline, thus enabling the cleaning of impurities.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
