Experiment of sulfur carrying particles in gas-liquid two-phase flow and prediction method of critical velocity of sulfur carrying gas

  • 摘要: 研究气液两相硫颗粒携带规律以及硫颗粒携带临界气流速,对于含硫气井优化配产、优化管柱尺寸、确定硫治理时机具有重要意义。室内实验搭建了一套高6 m、内径40 mm、0°~90°倾角可调的可视化多相流实验装置,基于弗劳德数和雷诺数相似原则设计了实验参数;利用现场收集的硫颗粒开展了空气-水-硫颗粒多相流动实验,模拟了硫析出并形成颗粒后被气水两相混合物携带的过程。通过实验揭示了硫颗粒被气液两相携带的临界条件以及硫携带机制,测试了管道倾斜角、硫颗粒粒径以及管壁硫沉积层对硫颗粒携带临界气流速的影响规律;基于气液两相携硫机理建立了硫颗粒携带临界气流速预测模型。研究结果表明,气液两相携硫机理是气流携带液膜、液膜携带硫颗粒,硫颗粒主要以悬浮或是滚动的方式向前运移;携硫临界气流速随着管道倾斜角增大先增大后减小,在管道倾角60°左右达到峰值;大、中、小共3种粒径的硫颗粒携带临界气流速相差5%~10%;建立的气液两相携硫颗粒临界气流速预测模型具有较高的预测精度。该研究为高含硫气井的高效生产开发提供了理论参考和技术支持。

     

    Abstract: Accurately revealing the patterns of sulfur deposition and the conditions for sulfur transportation is crucial for optimizing production allocation, tubing size, and determining the timing for sulfur management in sour gas wells. Therefore, a visuable inclined pipe with an inner diameter of 40 mm, and a length of 6 m was set up, with which inclined angle could be adjusted from 0° to 90°. Based on the similarity principles of Froude number and Reynolds number, experimental parameters were designed. Multiphase flow experiments of air-water-sulfur particles were conducted using sulfur particles collected from the field, simulating the process in which sulfur precipitates, forms particles, and was carried by the air-water two-phase mixture. The experiments revealed the critical gas velocity for the transportation of sulfur particles by the gas-liquid two-phase flow and the forms in which sulfur is carried. The effects of pipeline inclination angle, sulfur particle size, and sulfur deposition layer on the critical gas velocity for sulfur particles transportation were tested. The results show that the mechanism of sulfur transportation by the gas-liquid two-phase flow involves the gas flow carrying the liquid film, and the liquid film carrying the sulfur particles. The sulfur particles primarily move forward in a suspended or rolling manner. The critical gas velocity for sulfur transportation first increases and then decreases as the pipeline inclination angle increases, reaching a peak at an inclination angle of around 60°. The difference in critical gas flow velocity for sulfur particles transportation of large, medium, and small sizes is 5% to 10%. The developed prediction model for the critical gas velocity of sulfur particle transportation in gas-liquid two-phase flow demonstrates high prediction accuracy. This study provides theoretical reference and technical support for the efficient production and development of high-sulfur gas wells.
