Problems solved by technology

The evaluation system and method obviously have the following deficiencies: First, the evaluation method combining digital photomicrographs and image processing is not only relatively complicated in operation, but also affected by many human factors in the process of micro sampling and observation, the particle size of water droplets The representativeness of the distribution results is slightly insufficient; the second is that the digital photomicrograph technology is not suitable for the real crude oil emulsion with poor light transmission; the third is that the electrostatic coalescer adopts a flat-bottomed cylindrical structure design, which is not conducive to The reading of the volume of a small amount of water phase at the bottom, the reliability of the dehydration rate calculation results is poor

[0061] Example 1: Evaluate the influence of different electric field parameters on the stability of crude oil emulsion.

[0062] 1. Pour the prepared same batch of crude oil emulsion (about 50ml) into the cone-bottom measuring cylinder (15) of the bottle test electrostatic coalescer (6), and rise to the set demulsification temperature under the action of a circulating water bath; then Turn on the high-voltage power supply and monitoring device, apply a high-intensity non-uniform electric field to the crude oil emulsion (20) in the cone-bottom measuring cylinder (15), so that the dispersed phase water particles in the crude oil emulsion (20) undergo electrostatic coalescence. After continuous power supply for about 1min, turn off the high-voltage power supply and monitoring device. Put the crude oil emulsion after the demulsification into rest for a period of time, and the detached water will settle at the bottom of the cone-bottomed measuring cylinder (15). Since the cone-bott...

Abstract

The invention discloses a quantitative evaluation system and method of a crude oil emulsion stability. The system comprises a signal generator, an oscilloscope, a voltage amplifier, a bottle-test type demulsification dehydrator, a constant-temperature water bath, an emulsion test bottle, a kinetic stability analyzer and a computer, wherein the signal generator generates electric signals with a specific waveform, voltage and frequency, signal amplification is performed through the voltage amplifier, and then an asymmetric high-intensity electric field is applied to crude oil emulsion in the bottle-test type demulsification dehydrator to enable water particles therein to produce electrostatic coalescence and further to accelerate gravity settlement; or under the situation that no electric field is applied, a demulsification agent is directly added into the crude oil emulsion in the bottle-test type demulsification dehydrator to perform chemical demulsification; quantitative analysis and evaluation are performed on the demulsification effect by calculating emulsion dehydration rate or by using the kinetic stability analyzer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water-in-oil type (W / O type) or oil-in-water type (O / W type) emulsion breaking technology, in particular to a quantitative evaluation system and method for the stability of a crude oil emulsion. Background technique [0002] Crude oil extracted from the formation inevitably contains a large amount of water and salt, which has brought many negative effects on subsequent storage, transportation, refining and processing, etc. Therefore, it is generally necessary to dehydrate (salt) the crude oil in the oil field In the refinery, the crude oil must be desalted before entering the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit. Water in crude oil mainly exists in three forms: dissolved water, emulsified water, and free water. Among them, emulsified water is relatively stable and difficult to remove by conventional static sedimentation methods. So far, people have done a lot of research on the problem of demulsification and dehydration ...
