Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of equipment for gathering, transporting and treating oily sewage, and particularly relates to an oily sewage demulsification and sand settling tank and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A processing station's gathering and transportation system uses a grease trap to settle, isolate, and remove sand from oil-produced wastewater. Its primary function is to receive bottom water from all large tanks in the crude oil storage area and separate the oily wastewater from the original stabilization unit. After progressive settling through three tanks, the oil-free wastewater is pumped from the final tank to a wastewater tank. Oil spills into an intermediate collection tank and is transferred to a tanker truck via a hot oil-melting pump truck for recovery. The oil traps are technologically backward and age-related, resulting in poor oil separation effectiveness. The recovery process is labor-intensive, with numerous human-machine interfaces and extensive oil exposure. The oil also emanates from a large area of ​​air, resulting in significant volatilization and environmental pollution. Therefore, finding a replacement for these traps became a pressing task. The key challenge in replacing these traps was demulsifying the oil-in-water in the wastewater and settling and isolating the sediment carried by the wastewater, which became a key technological breakthrough. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an oily wastewater demulsification and sand settling tank and a method of use, so as to solve the technical problem that the prior art cannot effectively demulsify the water-in-oil in the wastewater and settle and isolate the silt carried by the wastewater.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A demulsification and sand settling tank for oily wastewater, characterized in that it includes: an outer cylinder; an outlet pipe is provided above the outer cylinder, an inlet pipe is provided on the side wall, a demulsification filter is provided above the inner portion thereof and is connected to the inlet pipe, a heat medium cavity is provided below the demulsification filter, a sand collecting funnel is provided inside the heat medium cavity, a sand collecting pipe is provided below the sand collecting funnel, and the sand collecting pipe is connected to a sand collecting and filtering water pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the sand collecting funnel is connected to the outlet of the sand collecting pipe through a sand collecting ball valve.

[0007] Preferably, the sand collecting pipe is connected to the sand collecting and filtering water pipe through a sand collecting elbow pipe.

[0008] Preferably, spiral conveying blades are axially arranged in the sand collecting and filtering water pipe, and a liquid drain outlet is opened at the bottom of one end connected to the sand collecting elbow pipe, and a sand receiving tube and a sand discharge ball valve are sequentially connected at the bottom of the other end.

[0009] Preferably, a spiral conveying blade is axially arranged in the sand collecting pipe, and the outlet thereof is configured as a semi-blocked semicircular outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the spiral conveying blade is provided with a motor connecting shaft along the axis and is connected to the motor through the connecting shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of support columns are further provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, a heat medium inlet and a heat medium outlet are provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder at the position of the heat medium cavity, and the heat medium inlet is located above the heat medium outlet.

[0013] A method for using an oily wastewater demulsification and grit settling tank comprises the following steps:

[0014] S1: The oily wastewater medium enters the demulsification filter from the inlet pipe and then enters the sand collecting funnel after demulsification;

[0015] S2: The solid dirt in the sand collecting funnel enters the sand collecting pipe where it is precipitated, gathered and squeezed;

[0016] S3: The squeezed solid dirt enters the sand collecting and filtering water pipe and is squeezed and separated from the liquid to form semi-dry sediment, which is then recycled.

[0017] Preferably, the sand collecting pipe and the sand collecting and filtering water pipe are both provided with spiral conveying blades along the axial direction, and a liquid sewage outlet is provided at the bottom of the sand collecting and filtering water pipe near one end of the sand collecting pipe:

[0018] In S2, solid waste enters the sand collecting pipe and settles and accumulates. The spiral conveying blade rotates and squeezes the solid waste to the end of the sand collecting pipe, and then enters the sand collecting filter water pipe.

[0019] In S3, after the squeezed solid waste enters the sand collection and filter water pipe, the liquid in the solid waste is discharged from the liquid drain port for recovery, forming semi-dry sediment. The spiral conveying blades inside the sand collection and filter water pipe rotate to transport the semi-dry sediment to the other end for recovery.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The present application discloses an oily wastewater demulsification and sand settling tank. The oily wastewater medium enters the cylinder from the central inlet pipe. The cross-sectional area of ​​the demulsification filter increases instantly. Due to different specific gravities, the oil and water, liquid and solid are separated and divided into different layers in the container. The oil and water successively pass through the demulsification filter and are demulsified again, and then enter the downstream process from the bottom outlet for oil-water separation. The solid waste has a high specific gravity and falls into the bottom sand collection pipe through the sand collection funnel, where it precipitates and accumulates. When a certain amount is reached, the accumulated waste is pushed and squeezed to the end of the sand collection pipe and enters the sand collection filter water pipe to squeeze and separate the solid waste and liquid to form semi-dry sediment. The semi-dry sediment is then recycled and processed. This solves the problems of achieving oil-water separation, oil sludge removal, and sediment isolation of oil-producing wastewater before it enters the sewage treatment unit, ensuring the equipment load during the sewage treatment process, being more conducive to sewage treatment, reducing the human-machine interface and environmental pollution caused by the open-air use of the grease trap, and achieving clean production. It is not only efficient and fast, but also more conducive to automation, safe and reliable, providing a technical support for modern management and safe operation and maintenance.

[0022] Furthermore, the outlet of the sand collecting pipe adopts a semi-shielded semicircular outlet, which can effectively utilize the transmission force of the spiral conveying blades to squeeze the internal solid sand, squeeze out the internal moisture or oil, and rise above the liquid surface after reflux. The spiral conveying blades and the outlet diameter reduction design can ensure that the tail discharge is solid sand and mud after extrusion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0069] How to use

[0070] The following steps are involved:

[0071] S1: The oily wastewater medium enters the demulsification filter 11 from the inlet pipe 3 and then enters the sand collecting funnel 12 after demulsification;

[0072] S2: The solid dirt in the sand collecting funnel 12 enters the sand collecting pipe 5. The motor drives the spiral conveying blade 14 in the sand collecting pipe 5 to rotate, precipitating, gathering and squeezing the solid dirt and discharging the squeezed solid sand and mud from the semi-shielded semicircular outlet;

[0073] S3: The squeezed solid waste enters the sand collecting filter pipe 8 through the sand collecting bend pipe 7. The motor drives the spiral conveying blade 14 to rotate and squeeze and separate the liquid in the solid waste to form semi-dry sediment. The separated liquid is discharged from the liquid sewage outlet 17 opened at the bottom. The semi-dry sediment is conveyed by the spiral conveying blade 14 to the other end higher than the liquid sewage outlet 17, and is discharged through the sand receiving tube 9 and the sand discharge ball valve 10 for recycling.

A blind plate seal also facilitates disassembly for modification and upgrading. A sand discharge ball valve 10 is connected below for easy opening to collect semi-solid sediment.

[0077] The present application also discloses a method for using an oily wastewater demulsification and grit settling tank, comprising:

[0078] S1: The oily wastewater medium enters the demulsification filter 11 from the inlet pipe 3 and then enters the sand collecting funnel 12 after demulsification;

[0079] S2: The solid dirt in the sand collecting funnel 12 enters the sand collecting pipe 5 to settle, gather and be squeezed;

[0080] S3: The squeezed solid dirt enters the sand collecting and filtering water pipe 8 and is squeezed and separated from the liquid to form semi-dry sediment, which is then recycled.

[0081] In some embodiments, the sand collecting pipe 5 and the sand collecting and filtering water pipe 8 are both provided with spiral conveying blades 14 along the axial direction, and a liquid drainage port 17 is provided at the bottom of the sand collecting and filtering water pipe 8 near one end of the sand collecting pipe 5.

[0082] In S2, the solid waste enters the sand collecting pipe 5 and settles and accumulates. The spiral conveying blades 14 rotate and squeeze the solid waste to the end of the sand collecting pipe 5, and then enter the sand collecting and filtering water pipe 8;

[0083] In S3, after the squeezed solid waste enters the sand collecting and filtering water pipe 8, the liquid in the solid waste is discharged from the liquid drain port 17 for recovery, forming semi-dry sediment. The spiral conveying blades 14 inside the sand collecting and filtering water pipe 8 rotate to transport the semi-dry sediment to the other end for recovery.

[0084] In some embodiments, long-term out-of-use requires flushing of the spiral blades and sand collection and transfer pipes, and wet maintenance.

[0085] In this application, the oily wastewater medium enters the cylinder from the middle inlet pipeline, and the cross-sectional area increases instantly. Due to different specific gravities, the oil and water, liquid and solid are separated and divided into different layers in the container. The oil and water pass through the demulsification mesh and demulsify again, and then enter the downstream process from the bottom outlet for oil-water separation; the specific gravity of the solid dirt drops to the bottom collection pipe, where it precipitates and accumulates. When it reaches a certain amount, the bottom spiral transmission rod is rotated to push the accumulated dirt to the end of the collection pipe and push open the one-way valve to enter the dirt collection auxiliary pipe. At the same time, the liquid in the dirt enters the pressureless sewage discharge system from the discharge port at the bottom of the collection pipe and flows back to the pressureless container in front of the pump. As the solid dirt increases, the thrust piston is continuously pushed. When the piston reaches the limited position, the threaded transmission rod is rotated to push the piston forward, compressing the dirt and squeezing out the water. When the solid dirt is relatively dry, it is pushed into the collection tank at the same time. The ball valve set at the bottom is opened to discharge the semi-dry mud and sand into the collection tank. The solid dirt is collected and further dried.

[0086] This invention automatically collects sludge, squeezes and dries it, and centrally processes it, eliminating the need for long-term sludge accumulation in containers. Oil and water are demulsified through perforations, enabling oil-water separation, facilitating downstream oil-water separation operations for waste oil recovery. The entire process is sealed, eliminating the need for a human-machine interface and minimizing human risk. The lack of atmospheric contact significantly reduces environmental pollution. The elimination of a grease trap allows for safer management, reduces the workload of operators and maintenance personnel, and alleviates the inconvenience of using equipment for grease trap cleaning.
