Abstract

PURPOSE:To safely remove hydrogen sulfide gas contained in vapor from a geothermal generating equipment by blowing gas extracted out of a condenser through an ejector into a hydrogen sulfide gas dissolver to which surplus water from a cooling tower and/or drain from a flusher is led. CONSTITUTION:In a geothermal generation equipment, geothermal resources blown out of a productive well 1 are separated into moisture and vapor by a steam separator 2, and separated vapor and vapor which is evaporated from moisture by a flusher 3, are led to a steam turbine 4 to work so that a generator 5 is thereby driven. Vapor is then led to a cooling tower 10 through a condenser 6 and a hot well pump 9 so as to be cooled so that it is circulated to the condenser 6 thereafter. In this case, a part of condensed water (surplus water) is forwarded to a hydrogen sulfide dissolver 11 together with drain from the flusher 3, and gas which is extracted out of the condenser 6 by a gas extractor 7 is concurrently led to the dissolver 11 through an ejector 8. Hydrogen sulfide gas contained in the aforesaid gas is dissolved into surplus water and drain so as to be returned to a reduction well 13.

Geothermal power generation equipment uses geothermal resources (hot water, steam, or a mixture thereof) that erupts from underground production wells to be guided to a steam separator to separate steam, and this steam is guided to a steam turbine to drive and generate electricity. ing. - Generally, hot water or steam or a mixture thereof is accompanied by carbon dioxide gas, hydrogen sulfide gas, trace amounts of inert gas, etc. These gases are extracted by a gas extractor in the condenser and released to the atmosphere. However, since hydrogen sulfide gas is toxic, some regions impose restrictions on the release of hydrogen sulfide gas into the atmosphere. Conventional equipment removes hydrogen sulfide gas by generating sulfur or sulfide gas through a chemical reaction on turbine upstream steam 9 condensate or extracted gas. Another method is to push the extracted gas containing hydrogen sulfide gas directly from the flasher into the reinjection pipe leading to the reinjection well, and return it to the ground together with the reduced water.

Equipment that removes hydrogen sulfide gas as sulfur or sulfide through a chemical reaction has the problem of high construction and operating costs, and can flexibly respond to changes in the concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas contained in the produced land resources. The problem is that it is difficult. In addition, in equipment that returns extracted gas containing hydrogen sulfide gas to the ground together with reduced water, gases that cannot be dissolved in water, such as air and carbon dioxide contained in the extracted gas, create gas (air) pockets in the piping. This may obstruct the flow inside. An object of the present invention is to provide a water-soluble hydrogen sulfide gas removal device that dissolves hydrogen sulfide gas in water and returns it to the ground without using chemical reactions.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system diagram of a water-soluble hydrogen sulfide gas removal apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The geothermal resources gushing out from the production well 1 are separated into moisture and steam by a steam separator 2, and the separated steam is
The moisture is evaporated by the flasher 3 and the steam is guided to the steam turbine 4 to drive the steam turbine. Furthermore, a generator 5 coupled to the steam turbine 4 is driven to generate electricity. Steam exiting the steam turbine 4 is condensed in a condenser 6, and further guided to a cooling tower 10 via a hot well pump 9.
Most of the water is cooled by cooling water and used for cooling the condenser 6, and a portion is led to the hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank 11. In geothermal power generation, drain from the flasher and surplus water from the cooling tower 10 exist as surplus water to be discharged outside the system. This water is typically returned underground through reinjection wells. The water-soluble hydrogen sulfide gas removal apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an ejector 8 and a hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank 11, and drains the drain of the flasher 3 and/or excess water from the cooling tower 10 into the hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank 11. At the same time, the gas extracted from the condenser 6 by the gas extractor 7 is guided to the hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank 11 via the ejector 8. Hydrogen sulfide gas has a very high solubility compared to other gases (air, carbon dioxide, etc.) in the extracted gas, and hydrogen sulfide gas dissolution tank 1
Dissolve everything in step 1. Generally, the amount of gas in geothermal steam is 1 to 5%, of which hydrogen sulfide gas is 1 to 5%, and the degree of saturation when all dissolved in surplus water is around 40%, so the concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas is Able to respond adequately to changes. On the other hand, the hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank 11 has a structure completely open to the atmosphere or a structure that is open to the atmosphere using a self-pressure relief valve, and releases air, carbon dioxide, etc. that cannot be dissolved in the excess water to the atmosphere. Dissolved water is transported from the hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank 11 to a reduction well 13 by a reduction pump 12 and returned underground. In addition, when the water temperature in the dissolution tank 11 increases slightly by blowing the extracted gas into the hydrogen sulfide gas dissolution tank 11 by the ejector 8, when the flash pressure is low and the drain temperature is low, when surplus water from the cooling tower 10 is used, or when When mixed water is used, silica precipitation in the reinjection well 13 can also be prevented.

This invention leads excess water from the cooling tower and/or drain from the flasher to a hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank, and also blows gas extracted from the condenser into the hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank via an ejector. , the hydrogen sulfide gas contained in the gas is dissolved in the excess water or drain in the hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank and returned to the reinjection well, so that toxic hydrogen sulfide gas is not released into the atmosphere and is removed from the reduction water piping. This will prevent gas build-up problems. Further, by simply using a blowing ejector and a hydrogen sulfide gas dissolving tank without using a chemical reaction using a special device, it is possible to provide a highly reliable hydrogen sulfide gas removal device that does not pollute the environment.
