Detailed Implementation

[0019] The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, by way of example. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, this utility model discloses a natural gas scrubbing tank. The scrubbing tank has a skirt 19 at the bottom and includes a tank body 1. The top of the tank body 1 has an upper end cap 2, and the top of the upper end cap 2 has an exhaust port 3. The bottom of the tank body 1 has a lower end cap 4, and the bottom of the lower end cap 4 has a drain port 5. The upper end of the tank body 1 is equipped with a pressure transmitter 15 and a pressure gauge 16. The middle part of the tank body 1 is equipped with an air inlet 6. The lower end of the tank body 1 is equipped with a level gauge 17 and a maintenance manhole 18. The level gauge 17 includes a high level gauge and a low level gauge. The air inlet 6 is equipped with a primary separation component. The tank body 1 is equipped with a secondary separation component. The secondary separation component adopts a swirl plate 14. A wire mesh demister 7 is provided above the secondary separation component.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the primary separation component includes a converging throat 8. One end of the converging throat 8 is connected to the air inlet 6, and the other end penetrates the side wall of the tank 1 and is connected to a separation chamber 9. A water guide platform 10 is provided inside the separation chamber 9, and a water leakage hole is provided at the bottom of the separation chamber 9. During separation, the gas enters the converging throat 8 through the air inlet 6 and then enters the separation chamber 9. When the gas passes through the converging throat 8 and the separation chamber 9, most of the liquid and gas can be separated, reducing the separation pressure of the secondary separation component. At the same time, the two-stage separation makes the separation effect more thorough.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] Same as in Example 1, except that: Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the primary separation component includes an arc-shaped baffle 11, both ends of which are welded to the inner wall of the tank 1. A cover plate 12 is provided on the top of the arc-shaped baffle 11, and a vent hole 13 is provided on the cover plate 12. During separation, gas enters the space enclosed by the arc-shaped baffle 11 and the inner wall of the tank 1 through the air inlet 6, and gas-liquid separation occurs due to impact.

[0025] Working principle: When in use, natural gas passes through the first-stage separation component and the second-stage separation component in sequence through the inlet 6. The liquid and gas in the natural gas are separated. The gas passes upward through the wire mesh demister 7 and is discharged from the exhaust port 3. The liquid drips down the tank body 1 and is finally discharged through the drain port 5.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and application concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
