Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas deacidification, and more specifically, to a natural gas deacidification device. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases naturally occurring in underground strata. Its main component is methane (70%-90%), with small amounts of hydrocarbons such as ethane and propane, and non-hydrocarbon components such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. It has a high calorific value and burns cleanly, making it widely used in power generation, industrial fuel, and chemical raw materials. However, natural gas contains acidic gases (mainly H2S and CO2). H2S combines with moisture to form an acidic solution, accelerating the electrochemical corrosion of metal pipelines and equipment. CO2 forms carbonic acid under high pressure and low temperature, further accelerating equipment corrosion. H2S is highly toxic; leaks can threaten human health and pollute the environment. CO2 lowers the calorific value of natural gas and forms a solid blockage in pipelines at extremely low temperatures. Therefore, deacidification treatment is necessary when using natural gas. A common deacidification method utilizes an alcohol amine solution to react reversibly with the acidic gases, achieving a removal efficiency of over 99%. The mixed amine method is suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that most existing mixed amine deacidification devices have insufficient contact after natural gas enters, resulting in low efficiency during amine liquid mixing and deacidification. This necessitates multiple cycles of mixing, which greatly reduces the efficiency of natural gas deacidification. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a natural gas deacidification device with greater practical value. Utility Model Content

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] This solution, by setting up a turntable, a vent pipe, and a stop plate, allows amine solution to enter the deacidification tank through the inlet pipe after the device is put into use.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example:
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 A natural gas deacidification device includes a deacidification tank 1, a dehumidification box 2 fixedly installed at the top of the deacidification tank 1, a drive motor 3 fixedly installed at the center of the top of the inner wall of the deacidification tank 1, a drive shaft 4 connected to the output end of the drive motor 3 via a coupling, a turntable 5 fixedly installed at one end of the drive shaft 4, four vent pipes 6 provided at the top of the turntable 5, each vent pipe 6 having evenly distributed air holes 7 on its outer wall, a fixing ring 8 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the vent pipe 6 and fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 5, a gas collection box 9 fixedly installed at the bottom of the turntable 5, and the bent ends of the four vent pipes 6 passing through the turntable 5 via through grooves and extending into the interior of the gas collection box 9, a venting rotary joint 10 fixedly installed at the bottom of the deacidification tank 1 via a support rod, the rotating end of the venting rotary joint 10 extending into the interior of the deacidification tank 1 and communicating with the interior of the gas collection box 9, the venting rotary joint 1... The device has a fixed connection to an air inlet pipe 11 at the fixed end of the deacidification tank 1, and a fixed connection to an inlet pipe 13 on the outer wall of the deacidification tank 1, with the inlet pipe 13 communicating with the deacidification tank 1. A pair of drain pipes 14 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the deacidification tank 1, and a pair of gas supply pipes 15 are fixedly installed at the top of the deacidification tank 1. The dehumidification box 2 is equipped with a glass fiber filter plate 16 and an activated alumina filter plate 17. The top of the dehumidification box 2 is connected to a sealing cover 18 by a thread, and an air outlet pipe 19 is fixedly installed at the top of the sealing cover 18. The device delivers natural gas to the bottom of the deacidification tank 1 through the air pipe 6, allowing the natural gas to rise from the bottom of the amine liquid. The stirring block 24, along with the turntable 5, can stir the amine liquid, giving the amine liquid a certain centrifugal force, so that the natural gas can stably enter the interior of the dehumidification box 2 after mixing. This device greatly improves the efficiency and effect of natural gas deacidification.
[0027] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 One end of each of the four vent pipes 6 is bent, and the four vent pipes 6 are arranged in a cross shape. Four stirring blocks 24 are fixedly installed at the top of the turntable 5, and the four stirring blocks 24 are located between the four vent pipes 6. The uniform distribution of the vent pipes 6 and the stirring blocks 24 ensures that the natural gas is fully mixed when it enters the amine liquid.
[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 A stop plate 12 is sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft 4. The stop plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the deacidification tank 1 by a support rod, and the inlet pipe 13 is located below the stop plate 12. A pair of gas supply pipes 15 are located inside the dehumidification box 2, and the inside of the deacidification tank 1 is connected to the inside of the dehumidification box 2 by the gas supply pipes 15. By connecting the inlet pipe 13 to the inside of the deacidification tank 1 by a support rod, the inlet pipe 13 can fully restrict the amine liquid and prevent the amine liquid from splashing and causing a decrease in mixing efficiency.
[0029] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 The inner wall of the dehumidification box 2 is provided with a pair of sliding grooves 20. A slider 21 is slidably installed inside each of the sliding grooves 20. The sides of the pair of sliders 21 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the edges of the outer walls of the glass fiber filter plate 16 and the activated alumina filter plate 17, respectively. A fixing frame 22 is fixedly installed on the sides of the pair of sliders 21 that are close to each other. The fixing frame 22 is located between the glass fiber filter plate 16 and the activated alumina filter plate 17. A pull ring 23 is fixedly installed on one end of each pair of sliders 21. By setting the glass fiber filter plate 16 and the activated alumina filter plate 17 on the sliders 21, the glass fiber filter plate 16 and the activated alumina filter plate 17 can be easily removed from the inside of the dehumidification box 2 for replacement and maintenance by the staff, thereby improving the convenience of using the device.
[0030] In operation: First, the amine solution enters the deacidification tank 1 through the inlet pipe 13. The amine solution is added to the bottom of the stop plate 12 inside the deacidification tank 1. Then, the drive motor 3 drives the turntable 5 to rotate through the transmission shaft 4. At the same time, the air inlet pipe 11 sends natural gas to the gas collection box 9 through the air vent 10. Then, the natural gas is pumped into the amine solution inside the deacidification tank 1 through the air hole 7 on the air vent pipe 6. When the natural gas enters the amine solution, bubbles are generated in the amine solution. At the same time, the stirring block 24 on the turntable 5 agitates the amine solution, allowing the natural gas to remain inside. The gas is mixed thoroughly over a long period of time. The purified gas then enters the dehumidification chamber 2 through the gas supply pipe 15. The water vapor mixed in the gas is filtered by the glass fiber filter plate 16 and the activated alumina filter plate 17. The deacidified natural gas is then discharged through the gas outlet pipe 19. When the glass fiber filter plate 16 and the activated alumina filter plate 17 need maintenance, the sealing cover 18 is removed from the dehumidification chamber 2. The glass fiber filter plate 16 and the activated alumina filter plate 17 can be removed from the dehumidification chamber 2 for replacement and maintenance by pulling the slider 21 upward with the pull ring 23.
