[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , wherein, Figure 1 is the structure diagram of the gas pretreatment equipment in the membrane method natural gas separation and purification process of the utility model, Figure 2 is the side view of the gas pretreatment equipment in the membrane method natural gas separation and purification process of the utility model, Figure 3 is the Figure 2 A-A line section view of the utility model, Figure 4 is the structure diagram of the inside of the cylinder body of the utility model.
[0018] The utility model provides a kind of gas pretreatment equipment in the membrane method natural gas separation and purification process, including cylinder body 101, inlet pipe 102, outlet pipe 103, flat plate membrane separation component 111 and purification mechanism, the purification mechanism includes rotating shaft 104, guide plate 108, mounting plate 110, rotating ring 109, handle 105 and multiple agitating elements, the agitating element includes mounting cylinder 106 and two rotating plates 107, by the foregoing scheme, it has solved the problem that the service life of device is reduced when water content in natural gas, water content natural gas directly carries out membrane separation, water content is easy to block flat plate membrane separation component 111 and damage equipment, reduces.
[0019] In the embodiment, the air inlet pipe 102 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 101 and located at the lower end of the cylinder 101, the air outlet pipe 103 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 101 and located above the cylinder 101, the flat-plate membrane separation component 111 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 101 and located in the cylinder 101, the rotating shaft 104 is rotatably connected with the cylinder 101 and extends into the cylinder 101, and the rotating shaft 104 is located below the flat-plate membrane separation component 111, the handle 105 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 104 and located below the cylinder 101, and a plurality of the stirring elements are arranged on the rotating shaft 104. When desulfurizing natural gas, calcium chloride solution is added into the cylinder 101, and the water surface of the calcium chloride solution is lower than the flat-plate membrane separation component 111. The handle 105 is rotated to drive the rotating shaft 104 and the plurality of the stirring elements to rotate. Natural gas is input into the cylinder 101 through the air inlet pipe 102. The natural gas enters the bottom of the cylinder 101 and enters the calcium chloride solution in the form of bubbles. The plurality of the rotating stirring elements crush the bubbles of the natural gas. The natural gas is fully contacted with the calcium chloride solution, so that the moisture in the natural gas enters the calcium chloride solution. The purified natural gas gas floats away from the calcium chloride solution and contacts with the flat-plate membrane separation component 111. H2S in the natural gas is separated from other gas components. The H2S gas passes through the flat-plate membrane separation component 111 and flows out of the cylinder 101 from the air outlet pipe 103. The natural gas is removed of moisture before being desulfurized by the membrane method, so as to ensure that the flat-plate membrane separation component 111 is not blocked and damaged by the moisture, thereby prolonging the service life of the device. In the flat-plate membrane separation component 111, H2S can more easily pass through the membrane due to its small molecular diameter, while other gas components are blocked by the membrane, so as to realize the separation and removal of H2S.
[0020] Further, the mounting cylinder 106 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 104 and located below the flat-plate membrane separation component 111. The two rotating plates 107 are fixedly connected with the mounting cylinder 106 and respectively located at two ends of the mounting cylinder 106.
[0021] In the embodiment, when desulfurizing natural gas, calcium chloride solution is added into the cylinder 101, and the water surface of the calcium chloride solution is lower than the flat membrane separation component 111. The knob 105 is rotated to drive the rotating shaft 104 and the plurality of stirring elements to rotate. Natural gas is input into the cylinder 101 through the gas inlet pipe 102. The natural gas enters the bottom of the cylinder 101 and enters the calcium chloride solution in the form of bubbles. The plurality of rotating rotating plates 107 stir the bubbles of the natural gas. The natural gas is fully contacted with the calcium chloride solution, so that the moisture in the natural gas enters the calcium chloride solution. The moisture in the natural gas reacts with the calcium chloride solution to generate hydrate precipitate, thereby removing the moisture. The purified natural gas gas floats away from the calcium chloride solution and contacts the flat membrane separation component 111. H2S in the natural gas is separated from other gas components. The H2S gas passes through the flat membrane separation component 111 and flows out of the cylinder 101 from the gas outlet pipe 103. The moisture in the natural gas is removed before the membrane desulfurization, which ensures that the moisture does not block and damage the flat membrane separation component 111, thereby prolonging the service life of the device.
[0022] Further, the guide plate 108 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 101 and located in the cylinder 101, and the guide plate 108 is located above the gas inlet pipe 102.
[0023] In the embodiment, the guide plate 108 can guide the natural gas to flow directly below the plurality of rotating plates 107, so that the natural gas is fully stirred by the plurality of rotating plates 107 during the rising process, thereby thoroughly removing the moisture in the natural gas.
[0024] Further, the mounting plate 110 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 101 and located in the cylinder 101. The inner side wall of the rotating ring 109 is rotationally connected with the rotating shaft 104, and the outer side wall of the rotating ring 109 is rotationally connected with the mounting plate 110.
[0025] In the embodiment, because the resistance in the calcium chloride solution is large, when the rotating shaft 104 drives the plurality of rotating plates 107 to rotate, the top end of the rotating shaft 104 rotates in the rotating ring 109. The mounting plate 110 and the rotating ring 109 limit the rotating shaft 104, so that the rotating shaft 104 does not dislocate during rotation in the calcium chloride solution, thereby increasing the structural stability of the device.
[0026] Further, the two mounting rings 112 are fixedly connected with the inner side wall of the cylinder 101, and the flat membrane separation component 111 is located between the two mounting rings 112.
[0027] In the embodiment, the installation ring 112 is arranged to strengthen the connection between the flat plate membrane separation component 111 and the barrel 101, and to seal the gap between the flat plate membrane separation component 111 and the barrel 101.
[0028] When the natural gas is desulfurized by using the utility model, the calcium chloride solution is added into the barrel 101, and the water surface of the calcium chloride solution is lower than the flat plate membrane separation component 111; the knob 105 is rotated to drive the rotating shaft 104 and the plurality of stirring elements to rotate; the natural gas is input into the barrel 101 through the gas inlet pipe 102; the natural gas enters the bottom of the barrel 101 and enters the calcium chloride solution in the form of bubbles; the rotating plates 107 stir the bubbles of the natural gas; the natural gas is fully contacted with the calcium chloride solution, so that the moisture in the natural gas enters the calcium chloride solution; the moisture in the natural gas and the calcium chloride solution react to generate hydrate precipitate, thereby removing the moisture; the purified natural gas gas floats away from the calcium chloride solution and contacts the flat plate membrane separation component 111; the H2S in the natural gas is separated from other gas components; the H2S gas passes through the flat plate membrane separation component 111 and flows out of the barrel 101 from the gas outlet pipe 103; the natural gas is removed of moisture before being desulfurized by the membrane method, so that the flat plate membrane separation component 111 is not blocked and damaged by the moisture, and the service life of the device is prolonged.
