For the oxidant injection device of Underground Coal Gasification Process and its application
Technical field
The present invention provides a kind of oxidant injection devices for Underground Coal Gasification Process.Particularly, the present invention mentions A kind of equipment that can be continuously injected into high concentration oxygen agent in Underground Coal Gasification Process has been supplied, this oxidant is additionally provided Application of the injection device in Underground Coal Gasification Process is particularly used in the igniting and normal operating of Underground Coal Gasification Process Process.
Background technique
Underground coal gasification(UCG) (UCG or ISC) process is in the presence of an oxidizer will by the burning of subterranean coal and gasification Coal is converted into the process of product gas (also referred to as crude synthesis gas), and the product gas can be subsequently used for a variety of applications, including Fuel production, chemicals production and power generation etc..The environmental requirement that is increasingly stringenter in view of mining industry and in view of relevant artificial Cost and capital construction cost, this coal underground gasification technology suitable for most of coal deposits are undoubtedly very attractive.
For coal gasification course, no matter on the ground or underground carries out, wherein being all by following series of chemical Convert coal, wherein H2O and CO2For main gasifying agent and O2For primary oxidizers:
C+O2→CO2(complete oxidation)
C+1/2O2→ CO (partial oxidation reaction)
C+H2O→H2+ CO (steam gasification reaction)
C+2H2→CH4(hydrogen gasification reaction)
C+CO2→ 2CO (carbon dioxide gasification reaction)
In Underground Coal Gasification Process, corresponding completion system is usually equipped in subterranean coal.The complete well system System generally includes injection well for injecting various reagents such as oxidant, gasifying agent and coolant etc., for removing product gas Output well and various service wells for helping out wherein usually are equipped with set in injection well, output well and service well It pipe and/or internal lining pipe and communicates with each other as needed, wherein the service well generally includes ignition well, freezing well, barrier wells and anti- Guide-well etc., wherein injection well is usually horizontal orientation well, and output well and service well typically horizontal orientation well or vertical Well.
Therefore, in Underground Coal Gasification Process, most basic completion system is by communicating with each other and laid inside has casing And/or the injection well and output well construction of internal lining pipe, also known as underground coal gasification(UCG) unit or well pair.
In Underground Coal Gasification Process, related subterranean zone includes combustion zone, gasification zone and pyrolysis zone, in which: burning Area generally extends since oxidant and gasifying agent decanting point, and coal fires in the presence of oxidant and gasifying agent in combustion zone It burns and gasifies;Gasification zone is located at combustion zone downstream or is centered around around combustion zone with radial, and coal is mainly by gas in gasification zone Change and partial oxidation generates product gas;Pyrolysis zone is located at gasification zone downstream, and the pyrolysis of coal occurs in pyrolysis zone.For ideal coal For charcoal underground gasification process, it is generally desirable to the pyrolysis of coal is as few as possible.With the gradually propulsion of Underground Coal Gasification Process, coal The burned out area formed in layer becomes larger, and finally descends coal deposits to be consumed completely, only leaves coal ash.
In Underground Coal Gasification Process, product gas generated generally comprises CO, CO2、H2、CH4And solid particle, water, Coal tar and hydrocarbon and a small amount of H2S、NH4With COS etc..The concrete composition of the product gas generally depends on Multiple factors, including institute The presence (coal seam water or the water in surrounding formations infiltration coal seam) of the oxidant (such as air, oxygen-enriched air or pure oxygen), water that use, The quality of coal and used technological parameter (temperature and pressure etc.).
In Underground Coal Gasification Process, normally tend to using the higher oxidant of oxygen concentration, because oxygen concentration is higher, Product gas quality such as calorific value is higher.But oxygen concentration is too high must be simultaneously using coolant to avoid combustion if when being higher than 35vol% Burning area's temperature is too high, intensity of flashing back is excessive and injects into well the danger that bushing pipe is burned.If it is possible to safely use High concentration oxygen agent such as pure oxygen carries out Underground Coal Gasification Process and is necessarily advantageous.
In addition, can't usually be continuously injected into oxidant completely in Underground Coal Gasification Process.Particularly, when in coal When needing to change oxidant injection phase in charcoal underground gasification process, usually to stop oxidant injection.For example, for rollback method Underground Coal Gasification Process, wherein the oxidant injection phase that usually periodically to retract, such as the oxidation that retract after continuous gasification 30 days 50 meters of agent injection phase, and usually to stop oxidant injection in back off procedure.In this case, underground coal gasification(UCG) Journey as a whole not really " continuous ", and it is this it is " discontinuous " necessarily cause product gas quality to fluctuate, when fluctuate compared with When big problem will be brought for the subsequent applications of product gas.It therefore, if can be really continuous in Underground Coal Gasification Process Injection oxidant is necessarily advantageous.
WO2014/043747A1 disclose it is a kind of for implementing the device and method of oxygen-enriched underground gasification process, specifically For oxygen injection device and method, wherein injecting oxidant to subterranean coal using specially designed oxygen rifle, the oxygen rifle includes: Gun body with inner passage is inserted with check-valves in the inner passage;The coiled tubing connector of gun body tail end, the engagement There is the hole for leading to thermocouple on device;It is connected at least one section of spacer tube of gun body front end;It is connected to the injection nozzle of spacer tube front end; With the thermocouple of monitoring injection nozzle temperature.Although referring to oxygen-enriched underground gasification in the patent, wherein being actually to infuse Enter what air was operated.
WO2014/186823A1 discloses a kind of for supplying oxidant and water to coal seam in Underground Coal Gasification Process Device and method, wherein the equipment includes oxidant channel and bobbin seal, the oxidant channel includes at least one well Lower end aperture and at least one uphole end aperture, the downhole end aperture are used to inject to underground gasification area and aoxidize Agent, for fluidly connecting with coiled tubing, described sleeve pipe is sealed for sealing oxidant channel and well for the uphole end aperture Circular passage between hole sleeve, described sleeve pipe, which seals, has one or more for leading to underground gasification area injection water Road.Although oxidant can be substantially pure oxygen in the patent, wherein using controlled rollback decanting point concept, this correspondence Be the Underground Coal Gasification Process being spaced apart in the prior art by several retraction phases.
In short, in the prior art, the Underground Coal Gasification Process still has much room for improvement in some respects, specifically include: The burning and gasification for how preferably controlling coal seam are to provide high quality of products gas;How oxidant injection is not being interrupted In the case of realize oxidant injection device transfer or rollback;How under shaft bottom hot environment oxidant injection device is avoided Damage and inject into well the melting of bushing pipe;And how to carry out underground monitoring preferably to control Underground Coal Gasification Process.
