Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for treating produced water from oil fields, belonging to the field of wastewater treatment technology. Background Technology
[0002] Produced water from oilfields is extracted from the formation along with crude oil. After oil-water separation, it forms a multiphase system containing suspended solids, oil, and dissolved substances. For environmental protection and resource conservation reasons, how to economically and effectively treat oilfield produced water and achieve its resource utilization has become a research hotspot in oilfield wastewater treatment.
[0003] CN112607839A discloses an aluminum-iron silicate flocculant and its preparation method. This method uses polydimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride emulsion as raw material. Although the oil removal rate of this aluminum-iron silicate flocculant reaches 90%, this method is suitable for treated produced water with low oil content; it may not be applicable to produced water with high oil content.
[0004] CN102276030A describes a composite flocculant of cationic polyacrylamide with a molecular weight of 4 million and polyaluminum chloride, which is simple to use. However, the oil removal efficiency of this composite flocculant is only average, with an oil removal rate of only 88%.
[0005] CN101781624A discloses an aerobic bacterial strain enriched, screened, and cultured from activated sludge and oily soil, which can efficiently degrade crude oil and organic matter in produced water with high salinity in low-permeability oilfields. The drawback of this method is its long processing time, which affects efficiency.
[0006] CN111825265A describes a method for treating produced water from oilfields using a gravity settling device, an electric field oil removal device, and a filtration device. Although this method can effectively reduce the oil content in produced water, it is cumbersome to operate, the equipment is expensive, and the treatment cost is high.
[0007] CN105217761A discloses a treatment agent for oilfield produced water, formulated from 10 parts polyurethane, 20 parts industrial wastewater-specific coagulant (containing 26%-30% aluminum oxide), and 70 parts water. This agent exhibits significant oil removal efficiency, but its main drawback is the relatively large dosage required.
[0008] Therefore, developing a method for treating produced water from oil fields remains one of the urgent problems to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

After filtration, the oil content in the treated produced water is reduced to below 50 mg / L, achieving an oil removal rate of over 93%. This method treats produced water by first adding a polyaluminum ferric silicate solution and then adding a polyacrylamide solution for flocculation and sedimentation. Furthermore, by using a combination of polyaluminum ferric silicate solution and polyacrylamide solution, and by controlling the polyacrylamide used to be cationic polyacrylamide with a specific molecular weight and ionic degree, this method is particularly suitable for treating produced water from binary flooding with high polymer content. It can efficiently remove polymers from the produced water while achieving an oil removal rate of over 93%. This method can also remove suspended solids from produced water. Meanwhile, the method of this invention, by gradually and cumulatively adding a poorly soluble polyacrylamide solution in batches, and stirring for a period of time after each addition, ensures thorough mixing of the poorly soluble polyacrylamide and the produced water from the oilfield, further enhancing flocculation performance. The reagents used in this invention are widely available, inexpensive, and easy to obtain, resulting in larger flocs with rapid settling rates. This method promotes the application of polyacrylamide and polyaluminum ferric silicate in the treatment of produced water from oilfields. Compared to existing technologies, it offers advantages such as simplicity, high efficiency, low cost, ease of operation, and significant treatment effects. It is suitable for produced water from oilfields with high oil content and high polymer content, and is suitable for large-scale industrial application and promotion. Attached Figure Description
