Abstract

The invention discloses an efficient compact tubular glycol dehydration system and method for natural gas. The dehydration system and method are applicable to an offshore platform. The system comprises an underflow valve of a filter separator, the filter separator, a tubular gas-liquid contact absorber, a triethylene glycol condenser, a glycol pump, a natural gas / lean glycol heat exchanger, a demister, an underflow valve of a demister, a lean glycol storage tank, a lean / rich glycol heat exchanger, a tubular gas-liquid contact desorber, a condenser, a three-phase separator, a stripping agent pump, a coalescer, a drain valve of the coalescer, a stripping agent dryer, a stripping agent heater, a reboiler, a glycol filter and a flash tank. According to the invention, a triethylene glycol contact absorption dehydration part for natural gas adopts the tubular gas-liquid contact absorber, and a triethylene glycol regeneration part adopts a tubular rich ethylene glycol desorber, so the height,the volume and the weight of equipment can be reduced; a triethylene glycol barren solution is used as an absorbent, so the dew point of water at an outlet of natural gas having undergone water absorption treatment in an absorption system can be reduced to -60 DEG C or below; the circulation volume and loss of triethylene glycol are reduced, operation and running cost is greatly saved, the spaceoccupation of an offshore platform is effectively reduced, and the treatment requirements of long-distance transportation and liquefied natural gas on space-limited occasions such as an offshore platform can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a natural gas treatment and processing technology, in particular to an efficient and compact natural gas glycol dehydration system and method. Background technique [0002] With the increasing demand for energy in today's society and the gradual enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the development and utilization of natural gas as a clean energy source will receive more and more attention. However, with the gradual depletion of onshore oil and gas resources, the development of offshore oil and gas fields will gradually become a strategic replacement hotspot. Although natural gas produced from offshore gas fields is generally transported to onshore terminals through pipelines for purification, in order to prevent pipelines from being blocked by hydrate formation and corrosion damage to pipelines caused by the combination of water and acid gases, it is often necessary to clean them on offshore platforms ...
