Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil field oil, gas and water treatment, in particular to a downcomer for a sedimentation clean water cavity of oil, gas and water treatment equipment. Background Art

[0002] Existing oilfield treatment technology often consumes a lot of energy for oil, gas and water separation treatment. Generally, after treatment by oil, gas and water treatment equipment, the oil, gas and water separation is not sufficient, and further water treatment is required in subsequent steps, resulting in high energy consumption. It is necessary to further improve the oil, gas and water treatment equipment. Traditional oil, gas and water treatment equipment is mostly single-layer structure. A few double-layer equipment simply separates two independent containers into upper and lower layers through an intermediate platform. After treatment in the upper container, it is transported to the lower container through the main outlet pipe for further treatment. The oil, gas and water separation chamber of the upper structure of the device first performs oil, gas and water three-phase separation, and the produced water enters a small cavity in the upper structure. The volume of the cavity is limited, and it is impossible to ensure sufficient sedimentation time to achieve the purpose of purifying the produced water. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to realize on-site water distribution, on-site treatment and on-site reinjection of the produced liquid of old oil fields and reduce the energy consumption of ineffective circulation of produced water from the wellhead to the joint station and then to the wellhead, the present invention provides an oil, gas and water treatment equipment with an upper and lower double-layer structure, and a downcomer pipe connecting the sedimentation clean water cavity of the upper and lower tank bodies.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a downcomer for a sedimentation water purification chamber of an oil, gas and water treatment equipment, comprising a first tank body and a second tank body, the first tank body being arranged above the second tank body, the first tank body being provided with an oil, gas and water separation chamber, the second tank body being provided with a sedimentation water purification chamber, a sedimentation oil purification chamber and an AC / DC degassing chamber which are not communicated with each other, the first tank body and the second tank body being connected by a downcomer, the two ends of the downcomer being connected to the oil, gas and water separation chamber and the sedimentation water purification chamber.

[0005] As an optimization, the downcomer includes an upper connecting pipe, a lower connecting pipe, a metal hose and an air flotation port. The upper end of the upper connecting pipe is connected to the first tank body, the lower end of the upper connecting pipe is connected to the metal hose, the lower end of the metal hose is connected to the air flotation port, the lower end of the air flotation port is connected to the lower connecting pipe, and the lower end of the lower connecting pipe is connected to the second tank body.

[0006] As an optimization, the flotation port includes an outer circular tube, an injector is provided inside the outer circular tube, the injector is connected to the outer circular tube through a plurality of capillaries, the outer circular tube is also connected to a reverse demulsifier input pipe, the capillary connects the outer circular tube and the injector, the upper end of the injector is connected to a metal hose, and the lower end of the injector is connected to a lower connecting pipe.

[0007] As an optimization, the metal hose is a bellows compensator.

[0008] As an optimization, the outer circular tube includes a first outer circular tube and a second outer circular tube, and the first outer circular tube and the second outer circular tube are connected by flanges at their ends.

[0009] As an optimization, the downcomer of the sedimentation clean water chamber of the oil, gas and water treatment equipment is characterized in that the capillaries are evenly distributed along the inner circumference of the outer tube.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the present invention is provided with two upper and lower processing tanks, which can carry out two-step processing, and the downcomer structure can connect the first tank and the second tank, so as to achieve pressure balance in the upper and lower cavities of the whole device; the free water separated from the oil-gas-water separation chamber of the upper layer uses the potential difference to flow by gravity through the downcomer into the sedimentation and purification chamber of the lower structure, and the extension of the vertical space greatly increases the sedimentation distance and time of the produced water. During the sedimentation process, the oil droplets float up into the upper cavity through the downcomer connected with the upper and lower layers, and the water droplets fall into the sedimentation and purification chamber and are transported to the water treatment system through the bottom outlet; in addition, in order to facilitate the docking installation of the upper and lower cavities, the influence of displacement such as vibration and thermal expansion is reduced, and the sealing reliability of the connection parts is improved. The downcomer adopts a metal hose structure; the downcomer is arranged to facilitate disassembly of the upper and lower layers of the cavity, which is conducive to separate transportation, and is easy to assemble on site, without the need for welding, and can be directly flange-connected, shortening the construction period and simplifying maintenance; the oil and gas water treatment equipment of the present invention utilizes a sedimentation water purification cavity downcomer, which can greatly improve the oil-water separation effect by relying solely on gravity. At the same time, a reverse demulsifier needs to be added during the purification process of produced water. The reverse demulsifier is sprayed into the downcomer through the flotation port on the annular wall of the downcomer, so that the produced water and the reverse demulsifier are evenly and fully mixed in the space, which greatly improves the effect of the water purification agent, helps to shorten the subsequent produced water treatment process, relieves water treatment pressure, and reduces water treatment energy consumption.
