Meanwhile, in order to avoid landslide or explosive pressure release of the seabed after the exploitation of the combustible ice, the carbon dioxide is converted into carbon dioxide hydrate through the micro-interface generator and the mixer body after the exploitation and is conveyed to the seabed, so that the space where the combustible ice exists is occupied.

Description

Submarine combustible ice exploitation system
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of natural gas hydrate exploitation, and in particular to a subsea combustible ice exploitation system.
Background
Combustible ice is distributed in deep sea sediments or permanent frozen soil of land areas, and is an ice-like crystalline substance formed by natural gas and water under high pressure and low temperature conditions. The resource quantity of the combustible ice is equal to twice of the total quantity of the traditional fossil fuel carbon, and the natural gas content of the combustible ice is 60 times of the natural gas resource quantity, so the combustible ice has great exploitation value. As the formation condition of the combustible ice is high pressure and low temperature, once the pressure is lost or the temperature is increased, the combustible ice becomes gas, and natural gas steam is decomposed from solid state by utilizing the characteristic that the combustible ice is decomposed when the temperature is increased, and then the natural gas steam is conveyed to a ground collection platform, so that the exploitation of the combustible ice is completed, which is generally called as a pyrolysis method.
The "pyrolysis" process of producing combustible ice typically uses heated saturated brine containing ethylene glycol, which is injected into the production well and the ethylene glycol is separated. On the one hand, the ethylene glycol is high in price and high in commercial exploitation cost, and on the other hand, the treatment of the ethylene glycol after the use is finished is complex, so that the environment is polluted slightly carelessly.
Meanwhile, the combustible ice is in a stable solid crystal shape on the sea floor, if the combustible ice is decomposed by a pyrolysis method, huge gas reserves can exist under the combustible ice layer, so that the combustible ice is likely to cause landslide on the sea floor or explosive pressure release, and equipment and personnel are lost.

Comprises a mechanical microstructure and/or a turbulent microstructure, and gas phase and/or liquid phase in the multiphase reaction medium are/is broken into micro bubbles and/or micro liquid drops with the diameter of micron level through a micro channel action mode, a field force action mode and a mechanical energy action mode or any combination of the three modes. The micro-channel function mode is to break the gas phase and/or liquid phase passing through the micro-channel into micro-bubbles and/or liquid drops by constructing the micro-structure of the flow channel; the field force acts in a non-contact way by utilizing external field force to input energy to the fluid so as to break the fluid into micro bubbles or micro drops; the mechanical energy acts by converting the mechanical energy of the fluid into the surface energy of the bubbles or droplets, and breaking the bubbles or droplets into microbubbles or droplets.

Because the camera system is provided with the remote control unit, the data receiving unit and the power supply unit, the camera system can be flexibly used without being connected with the control system 3, and when the remote control unit of the camera system 5 fails, the camera can be completed through the connection control of the control system 3.
The operating principle of the submarine combustible ice mining system is as follows: the present disclosure is implemented on the premise that the well 1 has been probed, and that the tubing 2 within the well 1 comprises a number of risers 21. At the beginning of exploitation, a proper amount of saturated brine (the sodium chloride content is between 10% and 22%) is injected into the mixer main body 9, natural gas passes through the micro-interface generator 8 and generates micro-bubbles and/or micro-droplet emulsion under the action of the micro-interface generator, the micro-bubbles and/or the micro-droplet emulsion enter the mixer main body 9 through the inlet end, and the saturated brine is filled with the micro-bubbles under the action of the mixer main body 9, so that the saturated brine is in an emulsion state.
The saturated brine in the emulsion state is heated and then is input into a seabed combustible ice layer through a pipeline system 2, the combustible ice starts to decompose to obtain natural gas hydrate, the natural gas hydrate is transported to the sea level through the pipeline system 2, the natural gas is separated from water and the saturated brine through a gas-liquid separator 6, the water and the saturated brine can be directly discharged into the sea surface without pollution, the natural gas is collected by a gas collecting device and put into use after separation, the whole process is controlled by a control system 3, and a shooting system 5 shoots in real time and transmits data to a water surface control device 51.
The vertical pipe 21 for inputting the heated saturated brine into the combustible ice layer is close to the combustible ice layer, if natural gas is required to be conveyed to the ground through another vertical pipe after the combustible ice layer is decomposed, the installation depth of the vertical pipe for conveying the natural gas on the seabed is deeper than that of the vertical pipe 21, and the natural gas is suitable to be collected and conveyed.
The gas-liquid separator 6 may be a tube separator or a cyclone separator.
During exploitation, the gas concentration sensor 4 feeds back the concentration of the combustible ice layer gas in real time so as to adjust the temperature and the total amount of the input saturated brine in real time. When the exploitation amount of the seabed combustible ice layer reaches a certain degree, fillers should be added to the exploited area in order to avoid unnecessary ocean natural disasters. Since the carbon dioxide hydrate formation pressure is lower than the natural gas hydrate formation pressure at the same pressure, a portion of the natural gas hydrate is converted to a more stable carbon dioxide hydrate after the carbon dioxide hydrate is injected into the combustible ice storage layer.
Therefore, when the heated saturated brine filled with the micro-bubbles and/or micro-droplet emulsion breaks down the combustible ice, the micro-interface generator 8 and the mixer main body 9 can act on the carbon dioxide and the water, the micro-interface generator 8 breaks the carbon dioxide gas into micro-sized bubbles and/or micro-droplet emulsion, the micro-interface generator 8 injects the micro-sized bubbles and/or micro-droplet emulsion into the water, the micro-sized bubbles and/or micro-droplet emulsion form carbon dioxide hydrate through the action of the mixer main body 9, the carbon dioxide hydrate is conveyed to a combustible ice layer, and natural gas is conveyed to the sea level after the replacement of the carbon dioxide hydrate is completed.
In summary, the micro-interface generator 8 and the mixer main body 9 can actually have two functions in the disclosure, so that the synthesis of the micro-bubbles and/or micro-droplet emulsion of the saturated brine and the natural gas can be completed, and the synthesis of the micro-bubbles and/or micro-droplet emulsion of the carbon dioxide gas and the water can also be completed. Of course, the content of gas and liquid or solid used in the micro-interface generator 8 and the mixer body 9 in actual exploitation is related to exploitation environment and exploitation amount, and the related burst factors are also more, and specific analysis of specific problems is needed.
It is to be understood that the foregoing is illustrative of the present disclosure and is not to be construed as limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and that the present disclosure is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
