Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas production equipment technology, specifically a low-temperature purification device for natural gas production. Background Technology
[0002] With the adjustment of the global energy structure and the continuous growth in demand for clean energy, natural gas, as a relatively clean and efficient fossil energy source, occupies an increasingly important position in the energy market. In order to meet the needs of efficient and safe application of natural gas in various fields, purification of natural gas to improve its quality has become a key link in the natural gas production process.
[0003] Existing technology discloses a natural gas purification device (publication number CN217662430U), comprising a natural gas buffer tank, a natural gas adsorption tower, a raw material gas buffer tank, and a fuel gas buffer tank. The outlet of the natural gas buffer tank is connected to the inlet of the natural gas adsorption tower via a third pipeline. The outlet of the natural gas adsorption tower is connected to the raw material gas buffer tank via a first pipeline, on which a first programmable valve is installed. The first pipeline is connected to the fuel gas buffer tank via a second pipeline, on which a second programmable valve is installed. First, second, and third valves are sequentially installed on the first, second, and third pipelines. A pressure sensor is installed in the fuel gas buffer tank, electrically connected to the first, second, and third valves. When the pressure inside the fuel gas buffer tank is detected to be ≥0.15MPa, the first, second, and third valves are closed. This device has a simple structure, low modification cost, and can prevent high-pressure raw material gas from entering low-pressure fuel gas, ensuring production safety.
[0004] The aforementioned low-temperature purification device for natural gas production allows natural gas to pass through the alumina molecular sieve layer of the natural gas adsorption tower from bottom to top. This causes the water mixed in with the natural gas to collect at the bottom of the molecular sieve layer and drip down to the bottom of the natural gas absorption tower under gravity, thus improving the service life of the molecular sieve layer. However, the device does not use a multi-stage throttling and gas-liquid separation method with a throttling valve and gas-liquid separator for purification. Instead, it simply filters the gas through the sieve layer. This method can only filter some solid particles and cannot handle impurities in the air, resulting in poor performance during use. Improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

The connecting arc plate 506 is fixedly connected to the side of the temperature sensor 505. The end of the connecting arc plate 506 away from the left side of the temperature sensor 505 is fixedly connected to the right side of the high-pressure buffer tank 3. The connecting block 507 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting arc plate 506. The placement plate 508 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting arc plate 506. The cooling device 509 is fixedly connected to the right side of the placement plate 508, and the cooling circulation pipe 510 is fixedly connected to the inside of the placement plate 508. The left side of the cooling circulation pipe 510 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the high-pressure buffer tank 3. The top of the top U-shaped frame 504 has a through groove, the diameter of which is adapted to the diameter of the temperature sensor 505.

[0026] The stabilizing mechanism 2 includes a base plate 201, a guardrail 202, a back-end positioning plate 203, a connecting rod 204, and a fixing member 205. The base plate 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The guardrail 202 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate 201. The back-end positioning plate 203 is fixedly connected to the middle of the back of the guardrail 202. The connecting rod 204 is fixedly connected to the inside of the back-end positioning plate 203. The fixing member 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 201 and to the surface of the connecting rod 204. The back-end positioning plate 203 is attached to the front of the gas-liquid separator 4. The stabilizing mechanism 2 is provided in three sets.

This helps stabilize the internal reaction. A cold purification mechanism 5 is set on the right side of the high-pressure buffer tank 3. Natural gas first enters a high-pressure buffer tank 3, where it is pressurized to a higher pressure by an internal high-pressure pump. Then, the natural gas enters the processing pipe 501 in sequence and passes through multiple internal throttling valves. 502 performs throttling expansion. With each throttling valve, the pressure and temperature of the natural gas decrease, achieving refrigeration through the Joule-Thomson effect. A gas-liquid separator 4 is connected after the throttling valve. Due to the temperature drop, some high-boiling-point impurities in the natural gas will condense into liquid and be separated and discharged in the gas-liquid separator. After undergoing multiple throttling and gas-liquid separation processes, the natural gas can achieve the required purification effect. It is not just a matter of filtering the gas through a sieve layer, but can effectively treat impurities in the air. It has good performance during use, and a placement plate 508 is set on the surface to house the cooling equipment 509 and the cooling circulation pipe 510, which can further help to cool down and achieve better low-temperature purification effect.
