DEVELOPMENT OF A CALCULATION METHODFOR TWO-STAGE NATURAL GAS PURIFICATION PLANTS FROM MECHANICAL IMPURITIES

Abstract

Statement of the problem. Currently, there is no methodology for calculating the degree of clogging of a multilayer filter cartridge taking into account the prevention of deposition of mechanical impurities in the gap between the coarse and fine filter cylindrical filter cartridges. In this regard, the development of such a technique is an urgent task. Results. In this paper, we propose a calculation method for determining the average integral degree of clogging of multilayer cylindrical filter cartridges with mechanical impurities and pressure loss on them which take into account the prevention of sedimentation of mechanical impurities in the gap between the coarse and fine filter cartridges.Conclusions. The results obtained make it possible to determine the pressure loss and the average integral degree of clogging of the multilayer filter cartridge depending on the decrease in the living cross-section of all filter meshes in the process of clogging and to prevent the deposition of solids in the gap between the coarse and fine filter cartridges.
