Therefore, the existing raw material natural gas purification process has the problem of complicated process, and a natural gas purification system with simplified process is urgently needed to be designed.
The natural gas purification method provided by the invention adopts an organic liquid adsorbent with methanol as a main component, and the impurities such as moisture, carbon dioxide, heavy hydrocarbon and the like in the raw material natural gas are dissolved and absorbed in the solvent at low temperature (-40 to-65 ℃).

The middle section is provided with the coalescence filter element, so that tiny aerosol particles are gathered and grown to form a liquid phase, and then the liquid phase is easily separated from the natural gas by gas-liquid phase. The main purpose of the back-end adsorption fine-removal section 130 is to further intercept a small amount of unabsorbed water and heavy hydrocarbon molecules, and because the amount of the unabsorbed water and heavy hydrocarbon molecules is small, the amount of the filler is small, and the filler is not required to be heated and regenerated, and only needs to be replaced after reaching adsorption saturation.
The above embodiment of the present invention provides a natural gas purification system, including a horizontal absorption tower 100 and a liquid collecting tank 200, where the horizontal absorption tower 100 is configured to input raw natural gas to be purified, and remove impurities contained in the raw natural gas at one time to obtain purified natural gas for output, an organic liquid adsorbent is disposed in the horizontal absorption tower 100, and is configured to simultaneously absorb and remove impurities (acid gas, moisture, heavy hydrocarbons, and the like) in the raw natural gas, and the organic liquid adsorbent at least includes methanol; the liquid collecting tank 200 is communicated with the side surface of the bottom of the horizontal absorption tower 100, and the liquid collecting tank 200 is used for recovering the organic liquid adsorbent which is absorbed and removed from the raw natural gas in the horizontal absorption tower 100; and based on this natural gas clean system provides natural gas purification method, through adopting the organic liquid adsorbent of methyl alcohol as the essential element, the raw materials natural gas that will wait to edulcorate inputs horizontal absorption tower 100 and once only gets rid of the impurity (sour gas, moisture, heavy hydrocarbon etc. specifically carbon dioxide, water, impurity such as heavy hydrocarbon) that contains in the raw materials natural gas, in order to obtain the natural gas after the purification to export and leave horizontal absorption tower 100, need not to carry out desorption carbon dioxide respectively, desorption moisture and heavy hydrocarbon, can once only get rid of all impurity, can be used for the purification process of natural gas liquefaction device, the problem that current raw materials natural gas purification process exists the flow complicacy has been solved.
It should be noted that most of the existing natural gas purification methods are divided into a plurality of independent links such as deacidification, dehydration, heavy hydrocarbon removal and the like. Wherein, the deacidification adopts an amine liquid adsorption method, and the amine liquid regeneration needs heating. The dehydration adopts a molecular sieve adsorption method, and the molecular sieve regeneration needs heating. The heavy hydrocarbon removal is carried out by adopting activated carbon adsorption, and the regeneration process also needs heating. The cooling of the above heating process requires circulating water. Therefore, the existing natural gas purification process has long flow, more equipment and fussy control, and a matched public engineering system is complex. The natural gas purification process disclosed by the invention does not comprise sequential steps, can simultaneously remove impurities such as acid gas, water, heavy hydrocarbon and the like, reduces the subject volume, is easier to transport and install on site, greatly reduces the construction cost and the operation cost, and is more suitable for treating and recovering various unconventional natural gases. The method has the advantages of simple flow, less equipment and less matched public engineering systems, so that the theme is easier to produce and install in a factory by adopting a skid-mounted mode and easier to transport, and the natural gas is distributed to a gas well or an offshore platform in a remote geographical position to recover the natural gas.
In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, e.g., as meaning either a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral connection; can be mechanically or electrically connected; they may be connected directly or indirectly through intervening media, or they may be interconnected between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art through specific situations.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the knowledge of those skilled in the art. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications of the invention may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
