Optimization of Triazine Desulfurization Injection Rate and Injection Process for the Xiangguosi Underground Gas Storage

Triazine solvent desulfurization is a highly efficient technology for removing hydrogen sulfide from natural gas. In this study, we used ASPEN HYSYS V11 with the Peng-Robinson (PR) equation to investigate the triazine consumption under different natural gas flow rates and hydrogen sulfide concentrations, as well as the sulfur capacity resulting from the reaction between triazine and H2S at varying solution concentrations. Additionally, CFD simulations were employed to optimize the injection process of the triazine solvent by examining four key factors: gas flow velocity, injection volume, injection angle, and injection method. The results indicate that the required triazine dosage follows an exponential model, with a margin of error within 10%. A triazine mass fraction between 0.4 and 0.6 was found to be optimal. Among the factors studied, gas flow velocity has the most significant influence on desulfurization efficiency, while the injection rate plays a secondary role. An injection angle of 45° proved most effective, and the use of dual vertical symmetric nozzles achieved more uniform mixing between the natural gas and triazine solvent.
