Abstract: Aiming at the inferior product gas quality and frequent equipment troubles due to the increase of acidic components content in natural gas in recent years, the process of desulphurization system after the increase of MDEA solution circulation flow rate was simulated by Aspen HYSYS software. The simulation result demonstrated that it was necessary to increase MDEA solution volume flow rate gradually from 63.25 m3/h to 102.85 m3/h to satisfy national standards when the volume fraction of CO2 and H2S was increased from 5.280% and 0.028% to 6.280% and 0.052% respectively. Key facilities were implemented a series of optimization by the professional softwares of FRI-Tray Rating, and HTRI Xchanger Suite, etc. The fluid mechanics performance of amine absorber and regenerator were qualified for different volume flow rates of MDEA solution after calculation. When the volume flow rates increased, it was feasible schemes to add the same model of lean/rich amine heat exchanger in series and simultaneously change the specification of heat exchange tube to meet the demand and resolve block. Optimized two-level flash device could greatly relieve frequent fluctuation and fixing the high-efficiency corrugated plate demister at inlet could avoid system foaming.

Abstract: The corrosion behaviors of four metal materials in MDEA solution at different conditions were studied by electrochemical methods. The results showed that with increasing temperature, electrochemical corrosion rate increased dramatically. Moreover, the corrosion rate of 20# steel and 20R steel in vapor phase was greater than that in liquid phase. The corrosion rates of amine solution saturated with hydrogen sulphide increased after running for a period, while the solution without hydrogen sulphide showed almost no electrochemical corrosion to the materials. In addition, the tendency of electrochemical corrosion of stainless steel 304 and 316L was not detected during the experiment.

Abstract: Serving as the critical equipment of solution regeneration system in 2 800×103 m3/d MDEA desulfurization unit in Yinjin Branch of Chongqing General Natural Gas Purification Plant, the solution circulation pump has an unstable outlet pressure. The system interlock shutdown due to the sudden drawdown of pump outlet flow rate occurred frequently. The process, equipment and pipeline layout were analyzed, and the results showed that excessive elbows were not the main reasons of system pressure drop. The layout of Π type pipeline would reduce the pressure and result in the evolution and accumulation of acid gas, thereby leading to the suction of MDEA circulation pump and the fluctuation of pump outlet pressure, which would bring great influence to the operation of system.

Experimental study of the ANG storage tank during charge and discharge
Zheng Qingrong, Zhu Ziwen, Luo Wanzhen(Provincial Key Laboratory of Naval Architecture & Ocean Engineering, Institute of Marine Engineering, Jimei University, Xiamen 361021, Fujian, China). CHEMICAL ENGINEERING OF OIL & GAS, VOL.43, NO.5,pp497-500,2014(ISSN 1007-3426, IN CHINESE)
Abstract: Comparative experiments were carried out to develop an adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage tank for replacing a domestically used liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank. Coconut shell activated carbon SAC-02 with SBETof 2 074 m2/g was selected as an adsorbent. A cylindrical steel pressure vessel, which was respectively equipped with a helical heat exchanging pipe, a U-shaped pipe and a perforated tube, was used to evaluate the effect of the cooling/heating water and the charge/discharge patterns on temperature fluctuation of the adsorbent bed and the charged/discharged amount of the storage tank. Tests were undertaken at ambient temperature, under pressure of 3.5 MPa and the flow rate 15 L/min of the natural gas. It shows that, about 10 ℃ fluctuation of temperature at the central region of the storage tank has been cut down by circulating the cooling/heating water along the helical pipe instead of the U-shaped pipe, and the total charged/discharged amount of the gas from the vessel has also correspondingly increased by about 18% and 14%, respectively. Charging/discharging the gas through the perforated tube can reduce the temperature fluctuation amplitude about 15 ℃ and 10 ℃, respectively, but the total amount of gas charging /discharging from the vessel has been decreased by 2% and 7%. It suggests that the running water at ambient temperature is an effective medium for managing the thermal effect of a domestically used ANG vessel in the charge/discharge process, and conformable design of the vessel should be undertaken by optimization among the measures of introducing supplemental heat, heat and mass transfer enhancement of the adsorbent as well as the charge/discharge methods.

Abstract: Single well has low yield in Huaqing low permeability oilfield. The wells with daily output less than 1 tons account for a larger proportion of total wells, reaching 56.2% in Huaqing Oilfield. Re-fracturing is an important measure to improve the production of fractured wells in Changqing ultra-low permeability reservoirs. Currently, the re-fracturing well stimulation is not ideal by using the conventional technologies. The performances such as small yield increase, water cut rising, production decline suddenly, short increasing period are appeared after re-fracturing. In this paper, the hybrid slick water SRV and multi-stage temporary blocking fracturing are combined to work for old production wells in ultra-low permeability reservoirs. Considering the well pattern and injection well conditions, the theories of volumetric fracturing and multi-stage temporary blocking are combined. After the parameters optimization in the laboratory and application of nine wells in the field, the average single well daily output increased 2.81 t, the effective production period for average single well is up to 252 days, and the effect of increasing yield is significant. The successful application of this technique also provides a strong basis for the re-fracturing in ultra-low permeability reservoir.

Abstract: There is a risk of explosion during purifying the coal-bed methane coming from underground drainage, for the reason that the gas contains oxygen. In this paper, the results of simulation with HYSYS and the flammability limit theory were combined together to analyze the security of whole process. The results showed that the explosion hazard concentrated at the end of the condensation and on the top of rectification tower. The measure to reduce the compressor outlet pressure or raise the final condensation temperature was proposed. What′s more, the security measure was proposed to control the methane content of rectification tower gas above the upper limit of the explosion strictly, and then the inerting gas with nitrogen contacts with liquid nitrogen upstream for further recovery of CH4. The results indicate that when the value of nitrogen injection ratio is greater than 0.6 (mole ratio),there is no danger of explosion in liquefaction process, and both methane yield and process safety are improved greatly in this way.
