Description

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present application relates to the technical field of wet gas flowmeters, and for details, to a wet gas flow rate metering method based on a Coriolis mass flowmeter and a device thereof.

Description of Related Art

In the natural gas exploitation process, a small amount of liquid substances are often accompanied, and due to the existence of the liquid substances, the traditional gas flow metering device cannot work normally or has serious deviation, so that the metering problem of the gas containing liquid becomes a problem which is urgently needed to be solved in the oil and gas industry.

In a scene containing a gas-liquid two-phase medium, a considerable proportion of the medium is the case where the liquid content is very low and the liquid state is relatively stable. Generally, the medium with the liquid content below 5% in volume is classified as wet gas. Compared with a multiphase flow in a wide sense, the flow shape and the flow state of the wet gas are relatively simple, and its components are gas-liquid two phases.

The Coriolis mass flowmeter not only can measure a mass flow rate of a medium, but also can measure a density and a temperature of the medium. The Coriolis mass flowmeter can be used for measuring the wet gas flow rate by utilizing the capabilities of the Coriolis mass flowmeter and measuring other physical quantities. The existing device for trying to measure the wet gas by utilizing the Coriolis mass flowmeter is to connect the Coriolis mass flowmeter with an orifice plate flowmeter (or a similar flowmeter) in series, and the flow rate of a gas-liquid two-phase medium is obtained by a special data processing of the data of the two flowmeters so as to achieve the purpose of measuring the two-phase flow rate. However, the method has the problems that the two flowmeters have different measurement positions and different working conditions, the main component of the medium is gas, the pressure and the temperature are different along with the flow resistance, the measurement of the two positions cannot be simply corresponded, and in view of physical principle, the upstream and downstream relation can be corrected by some models to achieve the purpose. However, such measurement is not direct, and would also bring about corresponding uncertainty.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

A wet gas flow rate metering method based on a Coriolis mass flowmeter includes the following specific metering methods:

• • A Coriolis mass flowmeter 1 measures a mass flow rate Q_m, a mixed density ρ_mix, a medium temperature T in a pipe.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a combination of sensors includes a pressure sensor 3 and a differential pressure sensor 2 that by measuring the pressure at the inlet 6 of the Coriolis mass flowmeter 1 and measuring the differential pressure ΔP at the inlet 6 and the outlet 7 in combination with the mixed density ρ_mix, obtain the average pressure P in the measuring pipe of the Coriolis mass flowmeter through a computational fluid dynamics CFD model.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the combination of sensors also may include two pressure sensors 3 that by measuring the pressure at the inlet 6 and the outlet 7 of the Coriolis mass flowmeter 1 to obtain an actual differential pressure ΔP in combination with the mixed density ρ_mix, obtain the average pressure P in the measuring pipe of the Coriolis mass flowmeter through a computational fluid dynamics CFD model.

It should be noted that the above two sensor modes can achieve the purpose of measurement, and in the specific implementation process, the actual differential pressure ΔP can also be measured by other sensors in different combinations.

The flow rate calculation module performs a multi-physical field coupling calculation, calculates pressure P corresponding to different positions X in a measuring pipe of the Coriolis mass flowmeter, and generates a function curve between the position and the pressure (see FIGS. 5 and 6 for details), the abscissa in FIGS. 5 and 6 corresponds to the different positions X in the measuring pipe of the Coriolis mass flowmeter, with the measuring unit of meter, the ordinate corresponds to the pressure P with the measuring unit of megapascal, and the average pressure P in the measuring pipe of the Coriolis mass flowmeter is calculated through the function curve.

The flow rate calculation module calculates the average pressure P in the measuring pipe of the Coriolis mass flowmeter by combining the function curve with a calculus area solving mode.

The flow rate calculation module combines the PVT equation of the gas-phase medium and the gas state equation according to the pressure P at different positions: PV=εnRT. It can be seen that the gas density ρ_g is proportional to the pressure P and inversely proportional to the temperature T. It follows that the measurement of pressure and temperature is necessary and is a key quantity for obtaining the gas density, assuming that irrespective of the influence of the temperature field, when the pressure P varies, the volume V changes accordingly;

$\frac{{\rho }_g}{{\rho }_0}=\frac{P}{P_0}*\frac{T_0}{T},$ to finally obtain the average gas density ρ_g.

• • calculating the gas density ρ_g, where P, T are the pressure and the absolute temperature in the measuring pipe of the Coriolis mass flowmeter respectively, ρ₀, P₀ and T₀ are the gas density, the pressure and the absolute temperature in a calibration state respectively.

The flow rate calculation module calculates a mass liquid content η_m of a mixed medium according to the mixed density ρ_mix, the average gas density ρ_g and a liquid density ρ_l by using the formula:

${\eta }_m=\frac{{\rho }_{\mathrm{mix}}-{\rho }_g}{{\rho }_1-{\rho }_g}*\frac{{\rho }_1}{{\rho }_{\mathrm{mix}}};$

In the actual calculation process, the data of a plurality of discrete point positions are measured through the flow rate calculation module, and an accurate calculation function is obtained through generating a function curve through the data of a plurality of groups of discrete point positions. Since the mass liquid content η_m has a strong influence on the total mass flow rate Q_m while the temperature T has a weak influence on the total mass flow rate Q_m, assuming that irrespective of the influence of the temperature T on the total mass flow rate Q_m, a function curve between the flow rate magnification and the mass liquid content is shown in FIG. 7 by the flow rate calculation module.

The flow rate calculation module calculates the corrected total mass flow rate Q_m′ through the function curve in combination with a curve equation.

Data measurement is carried out through a single Coriolis mass flowmeter in combination with the multi-physical field coupling calculation, calculating to obtain accurate average pressure P, further correcting the gas density ρ_g, and calculating to obtain an accurate mass liquid content η_m and the total mass flow rate Q_m′ conforming to the actual situation according to the gas density ρ_g, under the actual working condition, and finally calculating to obtain the gas-liquid two-phase flow rate. The data obtained by the wet gas flow rate metering method and device has higher accuracy.

It is further noted here that the total mass flow rate Q_m in this embodiment is directly measured and calculated by the Coriolis mass flowmeter, however, a person skilled in the art may also obtain the total mass flow rate Q_m through other means. For example: a wet gas meter based on resonance and differential pressure measurements may be used. Firstly, a differential pressure ΔP between the inlet and the outlet of the measuring pipe is measured by a sensor, and using the formula: Q_m=A √{square root over (ΔP*p mix)} to calculate and obtain the total mass flow rate Q_m, where A is a system parameter, ΔP is the differential pressure between the inlet and the outlet of the measuring pipe, and ρ_mix is a mixed density of the medium.
