Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to oil gas recovery technical field, concretely is a kind of oil gas recovery condensate pump-free conveying system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The mainstream process for treating VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the current industry is the "condensation+adsorption" process. When treating low-boiling-point media such as gasoline and naphtha, the minimum processing temperature of the condensation process is about -70°C, and the recovered condensate is prone to volatilization. The condensate recovered in the industry is generally pumped to the designated area of the customer, but under the action of pipeline heat tracing (condensate tank and condensate pipeline heat tracing to prevent icing) and pumping, the condensate is easily re-vaporized, causing a high gas-liquid ratio in the condensate pipeline, resulting in gas blockage, and the pump cannot deliver the condensate to the designated location. After the condensate is vaporized, the gas-liquid ratio of the medium delivered by the pump increases, and the pump is prone to overheating failure under long-term operation in this working condition, which has defects. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides an oil gas recovery condensate pump-free conveying system to solve the problems of gas blockage and pump failure in the prior art.

[0006] The condensate temporary storage tank is also connected to a nitrogen supplementing device and a condensate recovery device through two pipelines, respectively, and has a nitrogen supplementing valve and a condensate discharge valve installed on the two pipelines corresponding to the nitrogen supplementing device and the condensate recovery device, respectively.
[0007] Preferably, the pipeline between the front-end pipeline of the oil gas recovery condensing device and the condensate temporary storage tank and the pipeline between the nitrogen supplementing device and the condensate temporary storage tank are both connected to the top of the inner cavity of the condensate temporary storage tank.
[0008] Preferably, the pipeline between the rear-end pipeline of the oil gas recovery condensing device and the condensate temporary storage tank and the pipeline between the condensate recovery device and the condensate temporary storage tank are both connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the condensate temporary storage tank.
[0009] Preferably, the nitrogen supplementing device is a medium-pressure nitrogen supplementing device with a pressure of 0.3-0.6 MPa.
[0010] Preferably, the nitrogen replenishment valve, condensate pipeline valve, balancing valve, and condensate external discharge valve are all electronically controlled valves, and online pressure gauges are also installed on the pipelines between the nitrogen replenishment valve and the condensate external discharge valve and the condensate storage tank.
[0011] Preferably, the system also includes a controller, wherein the online pressure gauge and the level transmitter are both connected to the controller via signal connection, and the controller is also connected to the nitrogen replenishment valve, the condensate pipeline valve, the balancing valve, and the condensate external discharge valve via signal connection, respectively.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention uses medium-pressure nitrogen to drive the condensate transport and recovery, which can reduce the re-evaporation of condensate during the transport process, avoid gas blockage caused by high gas-liquid ratio in the condensate pipeline, and smoothly discharge the condensate into the condensate recovery device at the customer's designated location. This system does not require a pump, reducing the number of pump maintenance and power consumption input, and solves the problems of gas blockage and pump failure that are common in existing oil and gas recovery technologies.
