[0051] Specifically, the crude oil dehydration system can be used to dehydrate crude oil extracted from oil wells or stored in oil storage equipment to reduce the water content in the crude oil to below 0.5%, meeting the water content requirements of the crude oil for export. The crude oil dehydration system includes an oil tank body 1, a dehydration device 2 arranged in the oil tank body 1, and a recovery device 3.

[0052] The oil tank body 1 can be used as the main equipment for collecting oil on the surface of the oil well. The oil tank body 1 is provided with an oil inlet pipe 11 connected to the oil tank body. The oil inlet pipe 11 serves as a pipeline for conveying crude oil. One end of the oil inlet pipe 11 extends into the interior of the oil storage tank body 1, and the other end of the oil inlet pipe 11 can be connected to an oil production device or an oil storage device. Among them, the shape of the oil tank body 1 can have a variety of options, such as cylindrical or square; in addition, the connection method between the oil inlet pipe 11 and the oil tank body 1 can have a variety of options, for example, the oil tank body 1 is provided with an oil inlet hole, and the oil inlet pipe 11 can be fixed in the oil inlet hole or detachably connected to the oil inlet hole. In the case where the oil inlet pipe is fixed in the oil inlet hole, the side surface of the oil inlet pipe can be welded in the oil inlet hole, and in the case where the oil inlet pipe is detachably connected to the oil inlet hole, a sealing ring can be provided between the side surface of the oil inlet pipe and the inner surface of the oil inlet hole to ensure the airtightness between the oil inlet pipe and the oil tank body, prevent moisture in the air from entering the oil tank body and increasing the water content in the crude oil, and also prevent the natural gas present in the crude oil from diffusing into the air and increasing the content of dangerous gases. Furthermore, the material of the oil inlet pipe 11 can have a variety of options, for example: the oil inlet pipe can be a hose or a hard pipe.

[0053] The dehydration device 2, as a dehydration device of the crude oil dehydration system, can dehydrate the water content of the crude oil. The dehydration device 2 includes an ultrasonic generator 21 arranged in the oil tank body 1. The ultrasonic generator 21 is used to emit ultrasonic waves, so that the water content in the crude oil forms mist-like water vapor, thereby reducing the water content in the crude oil. Among them, there are multiple options for the positional relationship between the ultrasonic generator and the oil tank body, for example: the ultrasonic generator 21 can be arranged on the bottom wall of the oil tank body 1, which can ensure the stability of the ultrasonic generator; for example, the ultrasonic generator 21 can be arranged in the oil tank body 1 through a support, and has a predetermined distance from the bottom wall of the oil tank body, and the crude oil transported to the ultrasonic generator can be ultrasonically treated in batches, which can improve the dehydration efficiency and dehydrate the crude oil to the greatest extent.

[0054] The recovery device 3 can discharge the atomized water vapor in the oil tank body 1 to the outside of the oil tank body 1, and can also discharge part of the natural gas mixed in the crude oil to the outside of the oil tank body. The recovery device is connected to the oil tank body, and a gravitational force is applied to the inside of the oil tank body to discharge the atomized water vapor and natural gas to the outside of the oil tank body, thereby achieving the purpose of dehydrating the crude oil.

[0055] Further, the recovery device 3 includes an air extraction device 31 arranged outside the oil tank body, one end of the air extraction device 31 is connected to a pipeline 32, and the end of the pipeline 32 away from the air extraction device 31 is penetrated through the side wall of the oil tank body 1 and extends into the oil tank body 1, wherein the air extraction device 31 can be an induced draft fan, and secondly, there are multiple options for the connection between the pipeline 32 and the oil tank body 1, for example, the pipeline 32 can be fixedly arranged on the oil tank body 1, or it can be detachably connected to the oil tank body 1, and a sealing ring can be arranged between the side surface of the oil inlet pipe and the oil storage tank body to ensure the airtightness between the inlet pipeline and the oil tank body, prevent moisture in the air from entering the oil tank body and increasing the water content in the crude oil, and also prevent the natural gas present in the crude oil from diffusing into the air and increasing the content of dangerous gases. Furthermore, there are multiple options for the material of the pipeline 32, for example: the pipeline 32 can be a hose or a hard pipe. In addition, the end of the pipeline away from the tank body can be connected to a collection device to collect atomized water vapor and natural gas.

[0056] When the crude oil needs to be dehydrated, the dehydration device is installed in the oil tank body, and the ultrasonic generator is powered on to emit ultrasonic waves, and the crude oil is transported into the oil tank body through the oil inlet pipe. Under the action of ultrasonic waves, the molecular structure between liquid water molecules is broken up to produce atomized water vapor, and the atomized water vapor and natural gas are discharged out of the oil tank body through a recovery device connected to the oil tank body.

[0057] The embodiment of the present invention realizes the dehydration of crude oil by setting up an ultrasonic generator and converting the molecular structure between liquid water molecules into atomized water vapor through high-frequency resonance, and discharges the atomized water vapor to the outside of the oil tank body through a recovery device, thereby realizing rapid and effective dehydration of crude oil, avoiding the use of traditional heating sedimentation dehydration and chemical dehydration for dehydration, improving dehydration efficiency while reducing environmental pollution and dehydration costs.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dehydration device 2 includes a first atomizing element 22, which is arranged in the oil tank body, and has a predetermined distance from the bottom wall of the oil tank body 1, and has a circulation channel 7 for the circulation of dehydrated crude oil between the first atomizing element 22 and the side wall of the oil tank body 1; one end of the oil inlet pipe 11 extending into the oil tank body 1 is located at the top of the first atomizing element 22 away from the bottom wall; the ultrasonic generator 21 is connected to the first atomizing element 22.

[0059] Specifically, the first atomizer 22 can be used as a mounting carrier of the ultrasonic generator 21 and also as a reaction surface of the crude oil atomization reaction. The first atomizer 22 is arranged in the oil tank body 1 and has a predetermined distance from the bottom wall of the oil tank body. The predetermined distance can be freely set according to the water content of the crude oil after dehydration. There are multiple options for the connection relationship between the first atomizer and the oil tank body, such as: the first atomizer is welded in the oil tank body, and another example: the first atomizer can be clamped in the oil tank body. In addition, the first atomizer can also be provided with a support member, one end of the support member is fixedly connected to the oil tank body, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall, which can increase the stability of the first atomizer and enhance the carrying capacity of the first atomizer.

[0060] Further, the ultrasonic generator 21 includes a plurality of ultrasonic vibrators, and the plurality of ultrasonic vibrators are arranged at intervals on one side of the first atomizer 22 close to the bottom wall. Among them, the plurality of ultrasonic vibrators can be fixedly connected to the first atomizer or can be detachably connected to the first atomizer. When the plurality of ultrasonic vibrators are fixedly connected to the first atomizer, a variety of fixing methods can be adopted, such as: each ultrasonic vibrator can be fixed to the first atomizer by bolts, and reinforced by glue, which can ensure the connection strength between the ultrasonic vibrator and the first atomizer. Furthermore, an explosion-proof joint is provided at one end of each ultrasonic vibrator away from the first atomizer, which can improve safety performance. In addition, the plurality of ultrasonic vibrators can be arranged along the length direction or width direction of the first atomizer or arranged in a rectangular array on the first atomizer.

[0061] In addition, the oil inlet pipe 11 serves as a carrier for conveying crude oil. One end of the oil inlet pipe 11 extending into the oil tank body 1 is located at the top of the first atomizing element 22 away from the bottom wall, and is used to convey the crude oil to the first atomizing element. The ultrasonic generator 21 located on the first atomizing element 22 emits ultrasonic waves to convert liquid water into atomized water vapor.

[0062] In addition, the circulation channel 7 can provide a circulation path for the dehydrated crude oil, and the circulation channel 7 is constructed by a predetermined distance between the first atomizing element 22 and the side wall of the oil tank body 1, that is, the two ends of the first atomizing element 22 are spaced a predetermined distance from the side wall of the oil tank body 1, so that the dehydrated crude oil can flow into the oil tank body through the circulation channel for storage, wherein the size of the circulation channel 7 can be designed according to the crude oil delivery speed and dehydration efficiency.

[0063] When the crude oil needs to be dehydrated, a first atomizing element equipped with an ultrasonic generator is arranged in the oil tank body and has a predetermined distance from the bottom wall of the oil tank body. Then, the ultrasonic generator is energized to emit ultrasonic waves, and the crude oil is transported into the oil tank body through the oil inlet pipe. The molecular structure between liquid water molecules on the first atomizing element is broken up by the action of ultrasonic waves to generate atomized water vapor, and the atomized water vapor and natural gas are discharged out of the oil tank body through a recovery device connected to the inner cavity of the oil tank body, and the dehydrated crude oil flows into the oil tank body through the circulation channel for storage.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first atomizing element is arranged above the bottom wall of the oil tank body, and a circulation channel for circulating the dehydrated crude oil is provided between the first atomizing element and the side wall of the oil tank body, so that the crude oil delivered to the ultrasonic generator can be ultrasonically treated batch by batch, which can improve the dehydration efficiency and dehydrate the crude oil to the greatest extent.

[0065] Further, as an embodiment of the first atomizing element, the first atomizing element 22 is a conical element, with a plane parallel to the bottom wall as a cross section, and the cross section of the conical element gradually increases from an end away from the bottom wall to an end close to the bottom wall.

[0066] Specifically, the first atomizing element 22 serves as a reaction surface for contact between the crude oil and the ultrasonic generator. It can be a conical element with a plane parallel to the bottom wall as a cross section. The cross section of the conical element gradually increases from the end away from the bottom wall to the end close to the bottom wall, so that the outer surface of the conical element is set at an acute angle to the direction perpendicular to the bottom wall, which facilitates the dehydrated crude oil to flow along the outer surface of the conical element to the circulation channel and finally flow to the oil tank body for storage. The outer surface of the conical element can increase the contact area with the crude oil, so that the crude oil is evenly distributed on the first atomizing element, thereby improving the dehydration efficiency.

[0067] Furthermore, as another embodiment of the first atomizer, the first atomizer 22 includes a first plate body 221 and a second plate body 222 connected to the first plate body, a preset angle is provided between the first plate body 221 and the second plate body 222, and the distance between the first plate body 221 and the second plate body 222 gradually increases from an end away from the bottom wall to an end close to the bottom wall.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 Specifically, the first atomizer 22 includes a first plate body 221 and a second plate body 222 connected to the first plate body, wherein the first plate body 221 and the second plate body 222 can be integrally formed or fixed by welding. The first atomizer designed in this embodiment has the advantages of easy processing and installation. In addition, there is a preset angle between the first plate body 221 and the second plate body 222, wherein the size of the preset angle is designed by comprehensively considering the flow rate, viscosity, water content of the crude oil and the frequency of the ultrasonic generator.

[0069] Furthermore, the preset angle is 120 degrees to 160 degrees, so that the crude oil is evenly distributed on the first atomizing element 22, and the dehydrated crude oil can flow smoothly along the inclined first plate 221 and the second plate 222 to the oil tank body 1. Preferably, the preset angle is 150 degrees, which can ensure that the flow rate of the crude oil on the first atomizing element is not too fast or too slow. If the flow rate of the crude oil is too fast, the ultrasonic dehydration effect will be poor, resulting in the dehydration amount of the dehydrated crude oil failing to meet the specified standard. At the same time, although the slow flow rate of the crude oil ensures the dehydration effect of the crude oil, the poor dehydration efficiency causes the production cost to increase.

[0070] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the dehydration device 2 further includes a second atomizing element 23 , which is disposed on the top of the first atomizing element 22 , and a connecting hole 231 is disposed on the second atomizing element 23 , and the oil inlet pipe 11 is connected to the connecting hole 231 .

[0071] Please refer to Figure 6. Specifically, the second atomizer 23, as a part of the dehydration device, is arranged on the top of the first atomizer 22, and can limit the crude oil transported to the first atomizer 22 to prevent the crude oil from rebounding to the side wall of the oil tank body due to the impact during the falling process, so that part of the water in the crude oil cannot be ultrasonically atomized. Among them, the shape of the second atomizer 23 can be consistent with the shape of the first atomizer 22, or it can be a plate-shaped body parallel to the bottom wall of the oil tank body. In addition, the second atomizer 23 can be fixed in the oil tank body or detachably connected to the oil tank body. In addition, a plurality of ultrasonic generators can also be provided on the second atomizer 23, so that the crude oil splashed onto the second atomizer 23 can be ultrasonically atomized and dehydrated, which can not only quickly dehydrate the crude oil, but also improve the dehydration effect, avoid the situation that part of the crude oil splashed onto the second atomizer 23 cannot be dehydrated, and increase the water content of the dehydrated crude oil.

[0072] The second atomizing element 23 is provided with a connecting hole 231 , and the oil inlet pipe 11 is connected to the connecting hole 231 . There are multiple options for connecting the oil inlet pipe 11 and the connecting hole 231 , which can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection.

[0073] Furthermore, the second atomizing element 23 and the first atomizing element 22 are parallel to each other and spaced apart, and a suction cavity 24 is formed between the second atomizing element 23 and the first atomizing element 22. The suction cavity between the first atomizing element 22 and the second atomizing element 23 can facilitate the recovery device to discharge the atomized water vapor and natural gas to the outside of the oil tank body more quickly and effectively. In addition, the end of the pipeline 32 in the recovery device 3 away from the suction device 31 passes through the side wall of the oil tank body and extends into the suction cavity 24, wherein the size of the suction cavity 24 can be freely designed according to the outer diameter of the pipeline.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, a viscosity sensor 4 is provided on the oil inlet pipe 11; the crude oil dehydration system also includes a controller 5, which is connected to the viscosity sensor 4 and the ultrasonic vibrator, respectively, and is used to adjust the frequency of the ultrasonic vibrator according to the measurement value of the viscosity sensor.

[0075] Specifically, the viscosity sensor 4 is disposed on the oil inlet pipe 11 and can detect the viscosity of the crude oil in the oil inlet pipe 11 to provide a basis for adjusting the frequency of the ultrasonic vibration head.

[0076] Furthermore, the crude oil dehydration system designed in this embodiment also includes a controller 5, which can be connected to the viscosity sensor 4 and the ultrasonic vibrator through a cable 6 or a communication connection, and is used to receive the detection signal of the viscosity sensor 4 and adjust the frequency of the ultrasonic vibrator in real time according to the detection signal to ensure the efficiency of crude oil dehydration.

[0077] Furthermore, a flow meter and / or a crude oil water content analyzer are also provided on the oil inlet pipe 11, and the flow meter and / or the crude oil water content analyzer are communicatively connected with the controller, and can complement the viscosity sensor 4 to provide a more reliable and powerful theoretical basis for adjusting the frequency of the ultrasonic wave.
