Parallel Sulfur Solubility Determination Device
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sulfur solubility determination devices cannot quickly and accurately determine sulfur solubility in sour gas under varying temperature and pressure conditions, leading to inefficient sulfur deposition prediction and pipeline blockages.
Innovation Solution
A parallel device and method that includes a sample preparation system, elemental sulfur absorption and saturation systems, sulfur content determination, vacuum pumping, and nitrogen filling systems, allowing for simultaneous determination of sulfur solubility under multiple conditions by absorbing and saturating sulfur in sour gas samples at different temperatures and pressures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single sulfur solubility determination device is used, then the device complexity is low, but the determination speed is slow and can only test single temperature or pressure conditions at a time
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into multiple independent determination chambers (first determination chamber, second determination chamber, etc.), each capable of operating independently at different temperature and pressure conditions. This segmentation allows parallel testing without requiring a single complex multi-functional chamber, thus improving productivity while keeping individual chamber complexity manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from sequential single-condition testing to parallel multi-condition testing by adding the dimension of simultaneous operation. Multiple determination chambers operate concurrently under different temperature and pressure conditions, transforming the testing process from a one-dimensional sequential approach to a multi-dimensional parallel approach, thereby significantly improving determination speed.
2Manufacturing precision
If traditional stirring method is used in sample preparation chamber, then the device structure is simple, but the sample mixing uniformity is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
A vibration component is introduced into the sample preparation chamber to generate mechanical vibrations that enhance the mixing uniformity of the sample. The vibration causes rapid and thorough mixing of the sample components, ensuring homogeneous distribution of sulfur and other constituents, which improves the precision of solubility determination without requiring overly complex mixing mechanisms.
