5×104Nm3/h天然气三甘醇脱水工艺设计
天然气在离开油藏时或自地下储集层中采出的的天然气及脱硫后的天然气通常含有水蒸气,有些气还含有H2S和CO2,酸性气体会便管线和设备腐蚀,水蒸气在天然气的压力和温度改变时容易形成水化物,不符合天然气集输和深加工的要求,因此必须脱除天然气中的水蒸气、H2S和CO2。
在油气田中常规的天然气脱水工艺是溶剂吸收法和固体干燥剂吸附法,目前广泛使用的是甘醇吸收脱水和分子筛吸附脱水两种工艺方法。这两种方法应用的界限为要求净化后天然气中含水量的多少。也就是天然气水露点是多少。对天然气深冷分离装置要求天然气水露点必须很低,通常使用分子筛吸附脱水工艺。如果是为了保证天然气集输过程中不形成水化物,通常使用三甘醇吸收脱水工艺。
本次设计的产品气要求比输送条件下最低环境温度低5℃,此处按≤-30℃设计,计算物料、热量衡算;PFD(包括设备、物流、自动控制点);设备布置图;关键设备的装配图。

Natural gas produced when it leaves a reservoir or from an underground reservoir and after desulphurization usually contains water vapor,some of which contain H2S and CO2,acidic gases that can corrode pipelines and equipment. Water vapor is easy to form hydrate when the pressure and temperature of natural gas change,which does not meet the requirements of natural gas gathering,transportation and deep processing. Therefore,water vapor,H2S and CO2. must be removed from natural gas.
The conventional process of natural gas dehydration in oil and gas fields is solvent absorption method and solid desiccant adsorption method. At present,two kinds of process methods are widely used:ethylene glycol absorption dehydration and molecular sieve adsorption dehydration. The limits of application of the two methods are the amount of water content in the purified natural gas. That is,what is the dew point of natural gas. For cryogenic separation of natural gas,the dew point of natural gas must be very low,and molecular sieve adsorption dehydration process is usually used. The triethylene glycol absorption dehydration process is usually used to ensure that no hydrate is formed during natural gas gathering and transportation.
The product gas requirement of this design is 5 ℃ lower than the lowest ambient temperature under the condition of transportation. Here,according to the design of ≤-30 ℃,the material,heat balance;PFD (including equipment,logistics,automatic control point),equipment layout diagram,etc. Assembly drawing of key equipment.
