[0065] In existing technologies, the chemical thermal washing method for oily sludge generated during oil extraction typically involves adding a washing fluid and circulating it under heating and stirring to promote the separation of oil sludge before treating the wastewater. Chemical thermal washing can effectively recover mineral oil from oily sludge and has advantages such as mature technology, large processing capacity, and low investment and operating costs. However, with the widespread application of tertiary oil recovery in oil fields and the increasing standards, the wastewater often fails to meet discharge standards and requires further treatment according to environmental protection requirements to avoid environmental pollution, significantly reducing its treatment efficiency.

[0066] Among them, the energy efficiency of chemical thermal washing for fine oily sludge is significantly reduced. Fine oily sludge refers to oily sludge with a median particle size generally ≤100μm, including bottom sludge from crude oil storage tanks, scum and bottom sludge from oily wastewater treatment plants, and oily mud. Its inorganic solid phase mainly consists of clay, chemical agents, and inorganic salts, while its organic matter includes mineral oil with high contents of colloids and asphaltenes, as well as macromolecular organic surfactants and polymers added during oil extraction, gathering and transportation, and wastewater treatment. It is a highly stable multiphase emulsion system. Direct chemical thermal washing is inefficient and causes significant secondary pollution, mainly due to low treatment load, large wastewater volume with high pollutant content, high water and mechanical impurity content in the recovered oil, low solid phase recovery rate, and high oil content.

[0067] This application provides a chemical thermal washing method and apparatus for oily sludge, which can improve the energy efficiency of chemical thermal washing and solve the technical problem of low processing efficiency of existing chemical thermal washing methods.

[0068] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] The first aspect of this application provides a chemical thermal washing method for oily sludge, the method specifically including:

[0070] Step 1: The oily sludge is crushed, screened, and washed to obtain the first solid phase product and the first liquid phase product;

[0071] The following is a detailed explanation of step 1:

[0072] Step 1-1: The oily sludge is crushed and then subjected to initial rinsing to obtain the fourth solid product.

[0073] Specifically, oily sludge refers to the oily sludge found in raw material storage ponds during the processes of oil drilling, storage, transportation, processing, and oily wastewater treatment.

[0074] Specifically, the oil sludge in the raw material storage pool can be transferred to a crusher for crushing using a gantry crane grab bucket.

[0075] Specifically, the crushed particle size is 50mm to 100mm.

[0076] Steps 1-2: After the fourth solid product is separated by multi-stage vibrating sieve, it is washed twice to obtain the first solid product; the waste liquid obtained from the first and second washing is used as the first liquid product.

[0077] Specifically, a three-stage vibrating screen can be used for separation, with the first-stage screen having a mesh size of 20mm to 50mm, the second-stage screen having a mesh size of 5mm to 20mm, and the third-stage screen having a mesh size of 2mm to 5mm.

[0078] Specifically, the first liquid phase product is a sludge-like mixed liquid produced after the initial and second rinsing.

[0079] Specifically, water can be stored in a storage tank for use in both initial and secondary rinsing.

[0080] Furthermore, the first solid product is discharged as waste residue.

[0081] Step 2: Perform a first centrifugal separation process on the first liquid phase product to obtain a second solid phase product and a second liquid phase product;

[0082] Specifically, a horizontal spiral centrifuge, a vertical centrifuge, or a disc centrifuge can be used for the first centrifugal separation process to achieve solid-liquid separation.

[0083] Furthermore, a horizontal spiral centrifuge can be used, with a centrifugal speed of 2500–3100 r / min.

[0084] Step 3: Preheat and liquefy the second solid product to obtain the first mixed product;

[0085] Specifically, the temperature for preheating liquefaction is 90℃~95℃. After reaching this temperature and the reaction equipment in step 3 is idle, step 3 can be further executed.

[0086] Specifically, the preheating liquefaction process increases the fluidity of the liquid on the surface of the second solid product, thereby improving the reaction effect in step 3; and the preheating process shortens the preheating time in step 4, thus reducing the overall processing time of step 4.

[0087] Step 4: Mix the first mixed product with a catalytic conditioning agent and carry out a hot water hydrolysis reaction to obtain the second mixed product;

[0088] Specifically, the reaction temperature is 170℃~230℃, and the reaction time is 20min~60min.

[0089] Specifically, the above reaction temperature is achieved by introducing steam, which can promote heating, stirring, and participation in the reaction.

[0090] Furthermore, the reaction time can be selected as 30 minutes or 50 minutes.

[0091] Specifically, the hot hydrolysis reaction can be carried out in a reactor. Since the reactor needs to control the pressure and temperature, the catalytic conditioner is generally not added to the reactor. Therefore, the catalytic conditioner is added in step 3, or added to the pipeline at the inlet of the reactor.

[0092] Specifically, the catalytic conditioning agent is composed of a dispersant, polyoxyethylene ether, high-valent electrolyte, and photosensitizer; in the catalytic conditioning agent, the mass ratio of dispersant, polyoxyethylene ether, high-valent electrolyte, and photosensitizer is 30%–50%: 10%–20%: 10%–20%: 20%–40%, and the amount added is 0.5%–3% (w).

[0093] Specifically, the high-valent electrolyte is one or more of ferric sulfate, ferric chloride, and calcium chloride; the dispersant is sodium silicate; and the photosensitizer is titanium dioxide.

[0094] On the one hand, the first mixed product is a paste, with the molecular weights of the gums and asphaltenes ranging from several thousand to several million, exhibiting stronger hydrophilicity. Water ionizes into hydrogen ions at high temperatures, which, under the action of a catalytic conditioner, attack the weak points of the large organic molecules, promoting chain scission and molecular reduction. This weakens the hydrophilicity, causing the decomposition into lipophilic organic compounds, such as straight-chain alkanes. Further processes such as gum breaking, de-temperature treatment, and dehydration not only improve treatment efficiency but also ensure safety and economic efficiency, while also benefiting environmental protection.

[0095] On the other hand, the hydrolysis reaction allows the inorganic salts in the sludge to dissolve. As the inorganic salts dissolve, they transfer from the solid phase of the sludge to the liquid phase, making the remaining solid phase purer and easier to handle or dispose of. The total volume of the sludge also decreases, which not only reduces the amount of material that needs to be handled or disposed of, thus lowering associated costs, but also facilitates a more thorough removal of oil and other contaminants.

[0096] Step 5: Flash evaporate the second mixture to obtain the third mixture.

[0097] Specifically, steps 4 and 5 are carried out in the same reaction apparatus. Step 4 involves a hot hydrolysis reaction at high temperature, followed by flash evaporation via a pressure relief valve.

[0098] Specifically, flash evaporation refers to the phenomenon where, when a liquid under high pressure is rapidly depressurized to a low-pressure environment, some of the liquid evaporates into gas because the temperature is higher than the boiling point under the new pressure conditions. This process usually occurs when a liquid suddenly enters a low-pressure region from a high-pressure area. Step 5 is described in detail below, and includes the following:

[0099] Step 5-1: After the hot water hydrolysis reaction is completed, perform first-stage flash evaporation until the pressure difference between the equipment where step 6 is performed and the first pressure difference between the equipment where step 5 is performed is less than 0.01 MPa, then stop the first-stage flash evaporation.

[0100] Furthermore, this step also includes:

[0101] The flash vapor generated by the first-stage flash evaporation is used to provide heat for the hydrolysis reaction in step 4.

[0102] Furthermore, steps 3 and 4 can be heated by a steam generator at a temperature of 150°C to 250°C.

[0103] Specifically, first-stage flash evaporation can be achieved by relieving pressure through the first pressure relief valve. The outlet of the first pressure relief valve is connected to the reaction equipment in step 3, which can improve energy utilization.

[0104] Specifically, when the temperature of the preheating liquefaction process in step 3 is greater than 105°C, the steam generator is shut off from the heating channel in step 3. If the flash steam provided by the first pressure relief valve can be used to achieve the temperature of the preheating liquefaction process, then the steam generator is shut off to improve energy utilization.

[0105] Step 5-2: When the first pressure difference is greater than 0.01 MPa, perform secondary flash evaporation until the first pressure difference is less than 0.01 MPa or the temperature of the secondary flash evaporation is not greater than 102℃~105℃. Then stop the secondary flash evaporation and use the flash evaporation product as the third mixed product.

[0106] Furthermore, step 5-2 also includes:

[0107] The flash vapor generated by the secondary flash evaporation is condensed and adsorbed to produce a first gaseous product and a fourth liquid product; the fourth liquid product is then subjected to three-phase separation in step 7.

[0108] Specifically, the flash vapor generated by the secondary flash evaporation of the condensing device is condensed to produce a fourth liquid phase product and a second gaseous phase product; the liquid phase outlet of the condensing device is connected to a three-phase separation device, and the second gaseous phase product is adsorbed by activated carbon to obtain a first gaseous phase product, which can be directly discharged.

[0109] Specifically, two-stage flash evaporation can be achieved by relieving pressure through the second pressure relief valve, and the outlet of the first pressure relief valve is connected to the condenser.

[0110] Furthermore, the liquid phase outlet of the condensation unit can be piped to an oil-water storage tank, and the outlet of the oil-water storage tank is connected to the inlet of the three-phase separation unit.

[0111] Step 6: Mix the second liquid product, the third mixed product, and the demulsifier, and perform demulsification treatment to obtain the fourth mixed product;

[0112] Specifically, the demulsifier is composed of sodium bicarbonate, cationic surfactant, nonionic surfactant and carbamide, with a mass ratio of 30% to 50%: 10% to 20%: 10% to 20%: 20% to 40%, and the amount added is 0.5% to 3% (w).

[0113] Specifically, the cationic surfactant is one or more of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and hexadecylammonium chloride;

[0114] Specifically, the nonionic surfactant is polyoxyethylene ether AEO / SP169;

[0115] Specifically, the above demulsification reaction is carried out in a flash demulsifier, with a stirring speed of 100-200 r / min and a reaction time of 20-30 min.

[0116] Specifically, when the third mixed product enters the flash demulsifier from the reactor, it changes from a high-pressure environment to a low-pressure environment, generating a large amount of steam. With the help of the demulsifier, the volume of the third mixed product expands rapidly, destroying the emulsified structure of the third mixed product and releasing oil and gas; cracking residual organic matter and the encapsulated network and flocculent structures, effectively reducing the interfacial tension of the liquid phase product, which helps the hydrolysis and separation of the liquid phase mixed product.

[0117] Step 7: Perform multi-stage separation on the fourth mixed product to obtain the first aqueous phase product, the first oil phase product, and the third solid phase product.

[0118] Step 7-1: Perform a second centrifugal separation process on the fourth mixed product to obtain the fifth solid phase product and the third liquid phase product;

[0119] Specifically, a horizontal spiral centrifuge, a vertical centrifuge, or a disc centrifuge can be used for a second centrifugal separation process to achieve solid-liquid separation.

[0120] Specifically, the second centrifugal separation process uses a horizontal spiral centrifuge with a rotation speed set to 2000–4000 r / min.

[0121] Step 7-2: Perform three-phase separation on the third liquid phase product to obtain the first aqueous phase product, the first oil phase product, and the third solid phase product.

[0122] Specifically, the three-phase separation process uses a disc centrifuge with a rotation speed of 5000–8000 r / min.

[0123] Furthermore, the third liquid phase product can be transported to an oil-water storage tank; the oil-water storage tank includes the fourth liquid phase product and the third liquid phase product, and the outlet of the oil-water storage tank is connected to the inlet of the three-phase separation processor.

[0124] Furthermore, the first aqueous phase product generated can be transported to a water tank for reuse via pipeline, or it can be treated and discharged externally, further realizing water conservation, energy conservation, and secondary utilization of the demulsifier.

[0125] Furthermore, the first oil phase product generated can be stored in an oil storage tank and recycled.

[0126] Furthermore, the third solid product generated from the second centrifugal separation process is mixed with the third solid product and discharged as waste residue.

[0127] This application provides a chemical thermal washing method for oily sludge, comprising: crushing, screening, and washing the oily sludge to obtain a first solid phase product and a first liquid phase product; performing a first centrifugal separation on the first liquid phase product to obtain a second solid phase product and a second liquid phase product; preheating and liquefying the second solid phase product to obtain a first mixed product; mixing the second liquid phase product and the first mixed product with a catalytic conditioning agent and performing a hot hydrolysis reaction to obtain a second mixed product; flash evaporating the second mixed product to obtain a third mixed product; mixing the third mixed product with a demulsifier and performing a demulsification treatment to obtain a fourth mixed product; and performing multi-stage separation on the fourth mixed product to obtain a first aqueous phase product, a first oil phase product, and a third solid phase product. This method has the following beneficial effects:

[0128] This application preheats and liquefies solid substances by using a catalytic conditioning agent, which can be used to dissolve and liquefy oil on the surface of solid objects, reduce the contamination of solid products, increase the fluidity of the liquid on the surface of the second solid product, and preheat the hot water hydrolysis reaction in advance, thus shortening the processing time of the hot water hydrolysis reaction.

[0129] This application employs a catalytic conditioning agent in conjunction with a hot water hydrolysis reaction. On one hand, water ionizes into hydrogen ions at high temperatures. Under the action of the catalytic conditioning agent, these ions attack the weak points of large organic molecules, promoting chain scission and molecular reduction, thus weakening hydrophilicity and decomposing into lipophilic organic compounds. This further achieves debinding, dehydration, and decontamination, improving the efficiency of the method. On the other hand, the hot water hydrolysis reaction dissolves inorganic salts. As these salts dissolve, they transfer from the solid phase of the sludge to the liquid phase, making the remaining solid phase purer and easier to handle or dispose of. The total volume of the sludge also decreases, reducing the amount of material requiring treatment or disposal and lowering related costs. This also contributes to a more thorough removal of oil and other contaminants.

[0130] Specifically, when the third mixed product enters the flash demulsifier from the reactor, it changes from a high-pressure environment to a low-pressure environment, generating a large amount of steam. With the help of the demulsifier, the volume of the third mixed product expands rapidly, destroying the emulsified structure of the third mixed product and releasing oil and gas; cracking residual organic matter and the encapsulated network and flocculent structures, effectively reducing the interfacial tension of the liquid phase product, which helps the hydrolysis and separation of the liquid phase mixed product.

[0131] Compared with existing chemical thermal washing methods, this application significantly improves the thermal washing efficiency of oily sludge, increasing the treatment capacity from 46.2-64.2% of the initial design capacity to 96.4-102.8%.

[0132] After treatment using the method described in this application, the oil content of the solid waste is ≤2%, which meets the petroleum industry treatment standards.

[0133] After treatment by the method described in this application, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the liquid waste is ≤10000 mg / L and the suspended solids (SS) is ≤1000 mg / L. After flocculation treatment, the COD is ≤500 mg / L and the suspended solids (SS) is ≤100 mg / L, which meets the influent water quality requirements of wastewater treatment plants. The recovered oil has a water content of ≤2.0% and mechanical impurities of ≤1.0%, which meets the collection and transportation standards.
