Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas purification technology, specifically a natural gas wellhead purification device. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of surging global energy demand, natural gas is increasingly being used as a clean energy source. However, raw natural gas produced from wellheads often contains impurities such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, moisture, and solid particles. If these impurities are not purified, they will not only corrode pipelines and equipment due to the strong corrosiveness of hydrogen sulfide and the combination of carbon dioxide and water to form carbonic acid, but also cause pipeline blockage due to the formation of hydrates from moisture. Furthermore, they will reduce combustion efficiency and pose safety hazards. Currently, some natural gas purification technologies suffer from problems such as high energy consumption, high cost, and low efficiency. Traditional devices have limited capacity to handle toxic impurities such as hydrogen sulfide, making it difficult to meet environmental protection and safety standards. Small gas fields lack adaptable and cost-effective purification solutions. Therefore, we propose a natural gas wellhead purification device. Utility Model Content

High-concentration acidic gases that are not absorbed are then deeply purified by the activated carbon adsorption plate 12, achieving efficient and graded removal of acidic gases, resulting in natural gas free of acidic gases. The natural gas flows upwards and enters the top through the conical anti-backflow vent 19 of the anti-backflow support plate 13. The water in the natural gas condenses through the connecting micro-holes 20 on the bottom surface of the guide plate 14 and flows into the filter water collection box 5 through the water inlet 7 along the water guide channel 21, preventing the water from flowing back into the purification box. The natural gas enters the purification exhaust pipe 6. The triethylene glycol dehydration plate 15 in the water filtration assembly adsorbs the residual water. The heat conduction plate 16 is heated by the heating device 4, which can periodically evaporate and discharge the water in the triethylene glycol. The water is then guided and collected through the guide plate 14 to regenerate the dehydration plate. The purified natural gas is output from the purification exhaust pipe 6 through the vent 17, completing the entire purification process.
