In existing technologies, high-pressure gas extraction can generate electricity directly, but the high-temperature exhaust gas suffers significant heat loss. Low-pressure gas extraction, on the other hand, has a low concentration and cannot be directly utilized, leading to energy waste and environmental pollution.
A comprehensive utilization system for coal mine gas extraction was designed, including a gas generator set, a waste heat boiler, a regenerative oxidation device, a screw expander, and other components. These components are connected by pipelines to form a closed-loop system. The system recovers heat from high-pressure gas and uses low-pressure gas for oxidation treatment to generate steam that drives the screw expander to generate electricity, thus achieving zero gas emissions.
It achieves full recovery of heat from high negative pressure gas and comprehensive utilization of low negative pressure gas, reducing energy waste and environmental pollution, and improving the economic benefits and environmental protection of coal mines.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal mine gas extraction technology, and in particular to a comprehensive utilization system for coal mine gas extraction. Background Technology
[0002] Coalbed methane refers to unconventional natural gas found in coal seams and surrounding rocks, associated with coal resources; it is also known as coal mine gas. Coal is China's primary energy source, accounting for approximately 70% of China's primary energy consumption. Coal used for power generation accounts for over 50% of coal consumption. Due to the influence of economic development levels and constraints from natural conditions, the coal industry has always been a high-risk industry in my country.
[0003] According to the "Coal Mine Safety Regulations", gas drainage is an essential part of safe coal mine production.
[0004] Methane, a component of natural gas, is the second most important greenhouse gas after CFCs. It depletes the ozone layer, and according to a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, its greenhouse effect is 21 times that of CO2. Large-scale release of natural gas into the atmosphere will enhance the greenhouse effect on Earth's surface, leading to global warming and damaging the planet's ecosystem.
[0005] Currently, coal mines with high-pressure gas extraction concentrations (>8%) can directly use gas generators for power generation. However, the exhaust gas temperature of these generators reaches as high as 550℃, and direct emission without effective recovery results in significant heat loss. Low-pressure gas extraction concentrations (<3%) cannot be directly used for power generation by gas generators because the concentration is too low to ignite. Current direct emission treatment not only causes enormous energy waste but also pollutes the environment. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a comprehensive utilization system for coal mine gas extraction.
[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

High-pressure extracted gas is connected to the gas generator set via pipelines. The high-temperature exhaust gas emitted by the gas generator set is connected to the primary waste heat boiler via pipelines. The steam generated by the primary waste heat boiler is connected to the steam distribution cylinder via pipelines. Low-pressure extracted gas is connected to the regenerative thermal oxidation device via pipelines.

The steam generated by the secondary waste heat boiler is connected to the steam distribution cylinder via pipelines. The steam inlet of the screw expander is connected to the steam distribution cylinder via pipelines. The machine is connected to the generator via a coupling; a quick-closing valve and a regulating valve are installed on the pipeline between the steam distributor and the screw expander; the exhaust port of the screw expander is connected to the steam inlet of the condenser via a pipeline; the water ring vacuum pump is connected to the non-condensable gas outlet of the condenser via a pipeline; the outlet of the circulating water pump is connected to the circulating water inlet of the condenser via a pipeline; the circulating water outlet of the condenser is connected to the return water inlet of the cooling tower via a pipeline; the inlet of the circulating water pump is connected to the outlet of the cooling tower via a pipeline; the outlet of the condenser is connected to the inlet of the condensate pump via a pipeline; the outlet of the condensate pump is connected to the inlet of the feedwater tank via a pipeline; the outlet of the feedwater tank is connected to the inlet of the feedwater pump via a pipeline; the outlet of the feedwater pump is connected to the makeup water inlets of waste heat boiler one and waste heat boiler two via a pipeline.
[0009] Furthermore, the concentration of gas extracted under high negative pressure is greater than 8%, while the concentration of gas extracted under low negative pressure is less than 2%.
[0010] Furthermore, the exhaust steam pressure discharged from the exhaust port of the screw expander is -0.09 MPa.g, and the temperature is 45°C.
[0011] Furthermore, the exhaust gases from waste heat boiler one and waste heat boiler two are directly discharged to the outside.
[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. Compared with traditional gas generator sets, this system can not only fully recover the heat of high negative pressure extracted gas for power generation, but also further recover the heat of emitted flue gas. At the same time, it can comprehensively utilize the low negative pressure extracted gas that was originally directly emitted, thus achieving zero emissions of gas in coal mining.
