Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention (Technical Field)


Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, system, and apparatus for controlling the gas temperature of the gas flowing between compression stages so that the temperature of the gas always remains above the dew-point and hydrate temperature of the gas. A further embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling inner stage compression temperatures that can be part of a new compressor assembly or retrofitted to compressors already installed and operating.


2. Description of Related Art


To collect gases that are commonly vented by process equipment used at natural gas locations, including but not limited to well sites and processing plants, a flash gas compressor is commonly used. The flash gas compressors operate at pounds of suction pressure (usually 25 to 100 pounds per square inch gauge (“psig”) and discharge pressures generally above 100 and less than 1500 psig). The compressors generally have from one to four compression stages and the gas entering and leaving the inner compression stages is cooled by flowing through a radiator utilizing air, driven by a fan, as the heat sink.


During cool weather, the air circulating through the gas cooler radiator can cool the gas to a temperature below the hydrocarbon dew-point of the gas as well as cooling the gas to a temperature that causes gas hydrates to form.


Cooling the gas below its dew-point results in hydrocarbon liquids forming in the gas stream. The hydrocarbon liquids are separated from the gas by scrubbers installed between the compression stages. The hydrocarbon liquids that condense and are separated by the scrubbers are commonly called “recycle loops”. Depending upon the British Thermal Units of heat (“BTU”) of the gas, how low the ambient temperature is, and how high the inner stage compression pressures are, the recycle loops, when dumped back to the storage tank, can create a volume of hydrocarbon vapors that will overload the vapor recovery system or require installation of a pressurized storage tank or flaring.


Cooling the gas below the hydrate formation temperature causes ice crystals to form in the radiator, potentially blocking the flow of gas. There is thus a present need for a method, system, and apparatus which can consistently cool the gas between multiple stages of compression so that the gas temperature remains above the dew-point of the gases and below a temperature which would cause thermal damage to the compressor when the vapors are compressed in a subsequent stage of compression.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a system for maintaining temperature of a gas between stages of compression including introducing the gas into a first stage of compression; directing the gas from the first stage of compression to a heat exchanger; directing the gas from the heat exchanger to an interstage scrubber; directing the gas from the interstage scrubber to a second stage of compression; and controlling a volume of coolant traveling through the heat exchanger by sensing a temperature of the gases that have exited a second stage of compression.


Objects, advantages and novel features, and further scope of applicability of the present invention will be set forth in part in the detailed description to follow, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following, or may be learned by practice of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

The accompanying drawing, which is incorporated into and forms a part of the specification, illustrates one or more embodiments of the present invention and, together with the description, serves to explain the principles of the invention. The drawing is only for the purpose of illustrating one or more preferred embodiments of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention.



FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention.





DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to FIG. 1, a flow diagram is illustrated wherein a two stage compressor is equipped with a liquid cooling section to control the temperature of compression. FIG. 1 also illustrates an optional gas recycle loop that includes a liquid cooling section to cool the recycle gas going to the inlet scrubber. Embodiments of the present invention can provide desirable results without this optional gas recycle loop.


Referring to FIG. 1, system 100 preferably includes gas inlet line 1, which leads to compressor inlet scrubber 2. Liquid level controller 56 preferably controls the liquid level in inlet scrubber 2. A supply gas source (not shown) is preferably connected to liquid level controller 56. Tubing line 58 preferably carries a pneumatic signal from liquid level controller 56 to motor valve 57. Gas line 3 can connect outlet 4 of inlet scrubber 2 to suction port 5 of first stage 6 of a compressor. Gas flow line 8 can connect discharge 7 of first stage of compression 6 to inlet 9 of a tube section of heat exchanger 10. Gas line 11 preferably connects outlet 12 of the tube section of heat exchanger 10 to inlet 13 of first stage inter stage scrubber 14. Liquid level controller 59 preferably has a supply gas source (not shown). Motor valve 60 can be powered by a pneumatic signal traveling through line 61 from liquid level controller 59. Gas line 16 preferably connects outlet 15 of inter stage scrubber 14 to suction port 17 of second stage of compression 19. Gas line 20 preferably carries the compressed gas from discharge port 18 of second stage of compression 19 to point 62. Line 63 preferably sends the gas from point 62 to be further processed or to sales. Thermostat 21 has a supply gas source (not shown). Tubing line 23 can carry the output signal from thermostat 21 to motor valve 24. Motor valve 24 can be a throttling type motor valve. Motor valve 24 can be installed on either the inlet or outlet of heat exchanger 10. As illustrated, line 26 preferably connects outlet 27 of motor valve 24 to inlet 28 of a shell section of heat exchanger 10. Line 29 can connect outlet 30 of the shell section of heat exchanger 10 to point 157. Line 72 preferably connects from point 157 to inlet 31 of air cooled radiator 32. Line 35 connects outlet 34 of air cooled radiator 32 to inlet 36 of liquid reservoir 37. Line 39 connects outlet 38 of liquid reservoir 37 to inlet 43 of centrifugal pump 40. Line 44 connects the outlet 42 of centrifugal pump 40 to point 45. Line 46 connects from point 45 to inlet 41 of throttling motor valve 24.


Referring again to FIG. 1 which illustrates an embodiment of the invention, in one embodiment the unit can operate as follows: gas to be compressed enters the compressor system through line 1 into inlet scrubber 2. From inlet scrubber 2 the gas flows through line 3 into first stage of compression 6. The hot compressed gas from first stage of compression 6 flows through line 8 and enters, at inlet 9, the tube section of heat exchanger 10. While flowing through the tube section of heat exchanger 10 the hot compressed gas is cooled by the liquid contained in the shell section of heat exchanger 10. In one embodiment, the cooled gas exits heat exchanger 10 at the outlet 12 and flows through line 11 to enter at the inlet 13 first inter stage scrubber 14. While flowing through first inter stage scrubber 14, any liquids that have been condensed by cooling of the gas in heat exchanger 10 are thus preferably separated. The separated liquids can be dumped by liquid level control 59 and motor valve 60 to a storage tank or other vessels (not shown). The cooled gases exit first inter stage scrubber 14 at outlet 15 and flow through line 16 to enter the second stage of compression 19 at suction port 17. While flowing through the second stage of compression 19 the pressure and temperature of the gas is preferably increased. The gas exits second stage of compression 19 through discharge port 18 and flows through lines 20 and 63 to repeat the cooling process previously described for second stage 19 before optionally entering a third stage of compression. An additional fourth stage of compression can also optionally be used with the same cooling process as described for the second stage of compression 19. After discharge from the final stage of compression, the compressed gas can be directed to a sales line or other location, such as for further processing.


Referring again to FIG. 1, the operation of an embodiment of the present invention is described. An embodiment of system 100 operates by utilizing an antifreeze water solution, which can be the same as the antifreeze water solution used in car radiators. The main components of the liquid cooling process is heat exchanger 10, air cooled radiator 32, centrifugal pump 40, throttling motor valve 24, coolant reservoir 37, and thermostat 21. The antifreeze solution is preferably stored in reservoir 37. From outlet 38, the antifreeze solution preferably flows line through 39 to the inlet 43 of centrifugal pump 40. From the outlet 42 the pressurized antifreeze solution flows through lines 44 and 46 to the inlet of throttling motor valve 24. The amount of the opening of throttling motor valve 24 can optionally be controlled by thermostat 21. Thermostat 21 preferably senses the temperature of the gas exiting second stage of compression 19. Thermostat 21 is preferably set to accomplish two things. First, thermostat 21 preferably maintains a temperature in inter stage scrubber 14 that is above the hydrocarbon dew point of the compressed gases flowing through inter stage scrubber 14. The second is to maintain the temperature of the gases exiting the second stage of compression 19 to be below the maximum temperature rating of the compressor. Usually, the maximum rated temperature of a compressor will be in a range of about 300 degrees F. From outlet 27 of throttling control valve 24, a controlled volume of the antifreeze solution flows through line 26 to the inlet 28 of the shell section of heat exchanger 10. While flowing through the shell section of heat exchanger 10 the antifreeze solution acts as a heat sink to cool the hot compressed gas flowing through the tube section of heat exchanger 10. By controlling, with thermostat 21 and throttling motor valve 24, the volume of cool liquid entering the shell section of heat exchanger 10, the temperature of the liquid in the shell section can be maintained at the temperature required to only cool the hot gases flowing through the tube section of heat exchanger 10 enough to keep the temperature of the gas exiting the second stage of compression within an acceptable temperature operating range and so as to avoid thermal damage to the compressor.


The antifreeze solution preferably exits heat exchanger 10 and flows through lines 29 and 72 to the inlet of air cooled radiator 32. Air cooled radiator 32 can optionally be a radiator similar to a radiator on a car or truck, or, as illustrated, it can be of a design where the radiator and coolant reservoir are separate units. While flowing through radiator 32, the antifreeze solution is preferably cooled by air which is driven by a fan. The cooled antifreeze solution exits radiator 32 and flows through line 35 to inlet 36 of coolant reservoir 37. The antifreeze solution exits coolant reservoir 37 and flows through line 39 to the inlet 43 of coolant pump 40. Coolant pump 40 can be a centrifugal pump. When throttling motor valve 24 begins closing, the discharge pressure of centrifugal pump 40 preferably increases slightly but the pump continues running normally.


Although embodiments of the present invention most preferably operate via pneumatic control using pneumatically-operated components, other types of control and sources for power of operation can optionally be used in place of or in conjunction with one or more of the pneumatic controls and pneumatically-powered components. Accordingly, in one embodiment one or more electrically-operated components can be provided. Optionally, one or more manually-powered controls can be provided and an operator can operate them.


In one embodiment, the present invention is disposed at a well site and not at another location. In one embodiment, the present invention is skid-mounted.


Although the invention has been described in detail with particular reference to these preferred embodiments, other embodiments can achieve the same results. Variations and modifications of the present invention will be obvious to those skilled in the art and it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such modifications and equivalents. The entire disclosures of all references, applications, patents, and publications cited above are hereby incorporated by reference.
