Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Driven by the transformation of energy structure and the "dual carbon" goal, the demand for natural gas as a clean and low-carbon energy source continues to grow. Natural gas (especially unconventional natural gas such as shale gas and biogas) often contains impurities such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), and moisture during the extraction or preparation process. Among them, H2S is toxic and corrosive, and CO2 will reduce the calorific value of natural gas. They need to be removed through purification to meet the standards for industrial applications or pipeline transportation.

[0003] Current semi-biological purification processes suffer from problems such as dispersed equipment, low integration, and large footprint. Biological desulfurization units (such as trickling filters) and physicochemical decarbonization units (such as membrane separation devices and amine absorption towers) are mostly independent devices connected in series via pipelines. This design leads to pressure loss during gas transmission between units, increasing compressor energy consumption. At the same time, the dispersed equipment layout is particularly unsuitable for small and medium-sized gas fields or biogas projects with limited space. In addition, complex pipeline connections increase the risk of leakage and raise maintenance costs. To address these issues, we propose a semi-biological natural gas purification device.

It collects the gas passing through the fiber composite membrane 18 and transports it to the guide pipe 16.

[0030] Working principle: The natural gas to be purified enters the purification tower 1 through the inlet pipe 3. Since the inlet pipe 3 is close to the bottom of the purification tower 1 and located on one side of the baffle 6, the gas first enters the biological desulfurization zone between the baffle 6 and the inlet pipe 3. In this zone, the gas flows upward and passes through multiple filter plates 19 that are equidistantly distributed vertically. The biochar 10 filled on the filter plates 19 has a biofilm formed by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria on its surface. Under aerobic conditions, the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria can oxidize hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the natural gas into elemental sulfur or... Sulfate is removed, thus completing the desulfurization process. Simultaneously, water tank 11 sprays a nutrient solution containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace elements onto biochar 10 through spray nozzles 12, providing the necessary nutrients for the growth and reproduction of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. The sprayed nutrient solution flows through biochar 10 and filter plate 19 to the bottom of purification tower 1, and is finally discharged through discharge pipe 2. Furthermore, oxygen can be introduced into the biological desulfurization area through oxygen holes 23 on the arc-shaped cover plate 4 to meet the aerobic metabolic needs of the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. The introduced oxygen mixes thoroughly with the natural gas. The combination creates favorable conditions for the biological desulfurization reaction. After desulfurization, the gas enters the physicochemical decarbonization zone on the other side of the partition 6 through the transition hole 21 at the top of the partition 6. In this zone, the gas first comes into contact with the fiber composite membrane 18 supported by the support plate 17. The fiber composite membrane 18 has a cylindrical structure that can selectively allow carbon dioxide (CO2) to permeate out. The high concentration of CO2 gas that permeates out is discharged through the gas outlet pipe 7 for further treatment or direct discharge. Subsequently, the gas continues to flow downward, is collected by the second hopper 24 and guided by the guide pipe 16, and enters the first hopper 15. It diffuses through the through hole 22 on the conical surface of the first hopper 15. At this time, the second water tank 13 sprays amine liquid through the spray nozzle 14. The amine liquid comes into full contact with the gas, further absorbing the residual CO2 and enhancing the decarbonization effect. The pure natural gas after physicochemical decarbonization is collected at the bottom of the purification tower 1 near the gas outlet pipe 9 under the suction of the vent fan, and is finally discharged through the gas outlet pipe 9 to meet the standards for industrial application or pipeline transportation.
