Description

Energy-saving natural gas MDEA decarburization device and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of natural gas decarburization, and particularly relates to an energy-saving type natural gas MDEA decarburization device and method, which are suitable for CO in natural gas or synthetic gas2Gas decarbonizing process with CO content not lower than 1.5% (mole%) and purified gas2The level may be as low as 50ppm or less or other ranges tailored as desired.
Background
Syngas and natural gas produced from subterranean formations typically contain some CO2And the like. According to the index requirements of commodity natural gas in China, CO2The content is less than 3 percent (mole percent) and can be externally exported to civil users; in addition, to prevent CO2Freezing blockage caused by low temperature, natural gas CO for preparing LNG2The content of CO is required to be lower than 50ppm, so that the content of CO is high2The natural gas needs to be decarbonized. At present, the common decarburization methods at home and abroad include a low-temperature separation method, a membrane separation method, an adsorption separation method, a solvent absorption method, a combined separation method of the above methods, and the like.
The low-temperature separation method is suitable for occasions with high acid gas content but low purification degree requirement, and has complex process and high energy consumption caused by great temperature reduction. The membrane separation method is suitable for removing acid gas and water from high carbon-containing natural gas in a rough way, and generally industrially, the membrane separation method is firstly applied to carry out rough removal on the high carbon-containing natural gas, and then a chemical solvent method is applied to carry out fine removal, so that high purification degree can be achieved, and the method is economical. Although the membrane separation method has the advantages of low energy consumption, small occupied area, convenient maintenance, high efficiency, environmental protection, energy conservation and the like, the hydrocarbon loss rate is higher by adopting the method. The adsorption separation method is suitable for occasions with small treatment capacity, low carbon content and high purification requirement.
The solvent absorption method is still one of the most mature and extensive decarburization methods in current application. The solvent absorption method is further classified into a chemical absorption method, a physical absorption method and a mixed solvent method. Among various solvent absorption methods, the alcohol amine method is most widely used. Among various alcohol amine methods, the activated MDEA process is most advocated because of the characteristics of high use concentration, high acid gas load, low corrosivity, difficult degradation, small volatilization loss and the like. The existing alcohol amine method decarbonization device has the defects of high energy consumption, small equipment load, high investment and the like.
