According to the news on August 13, according to the official Weibo of "CNOOC", the world's first 5MW offshore high-temperature flue gas waste heat power generation device has been tested in Tianjin and will be demonstrated and applied in the Wenchang 9-7 oil field development project.
It is reported that the power station is the "heart" of the offshore platform. It usually provides electricity by burning self-produced oil and gas. However, a large amount of high-temperature flue gas is emitted during this process, which becomes the main carbon source of offshore oil and gas development. One of the sources.
This device cleverly converts the "waste heat" - high-temperature flue gas generated during the operation of the power station into valuable energy resources.
The waste heat of the flue gas is absorbed through the internally circulated organic medium, and then the expander is driven to generate electricity efficiently, achieving a gorgeous turn from "emission burden" to "green electricity", which not only reduces greenhouse gases emissions, and also greatly improves energy efficiency.
Compared with the traditional direct emission mode, after installing this waste heat power generation device, the waste heat recovery potential of the power station will jump to an astonishing 60% to 70%, marking an improvement in energy quality and utilization efficiency. Double leap.
The application of this technology is expected to increase the overall energy efficiency of the main power station in offshore oil and gas fields by about 7%, effectively reducing the dependence on crude oil and natural gas, and injecting sustainable energy into offshore energy development. new impetus for development.
What is even more exciting is that according to scientific calculations, after the device is fully put into operation, its annual power generation will be as high as 40 million kilowatt hours, enough to meet the needs of about 30,000 households for a year. Electricity demand has demonstrated its huge potential in alleviating the contradiction between power supply and demand.
In addition, this green initiative is expected to save about 300 million cubic meters of natural gas consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 800,000 tons each year. Its environmental benefits are equivalent to planting 7.5 million trees, providing We have made important contributions to protecting blue skies and white clouds and promoting the goal of carbon neutrality.
