Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of diatomite recycling, and in particular relates to a method for recycling waste diatomite after filtering fracturing flowback fluid. Background Art

[0002] In the process of oil and gas field development, fracturing is an important measure to increase production, but the fracturing process will produce flowback fluid, which contains a variety of difficult-to-degrade substances such as guar gum, crude oil and other organic additives, and has the characteristics of high concentration, high stability and high viscosity, which poses a severe test to the ecological environment of the oil field. At present, most domestic oil fields use the "natural sedimentation-coagulation-filtration" method to treat fracturing flowback fluid. Although a variety of new treatment methods such as ozone oxidation, electrochemistry, and microbial treatment have also been tested, most process flows ultimately require filtration treatment to meet water quality requirements. Traditional media filters mostly use filter materials such as walnut shells, quartz sand, and fiber balls, but this type of filtration method requires frequent backwashing and is not easy to backwash clean. In addition, replacing the filter material is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] Diatomaceous earth is a porous biological siliceous rock, the main component of which is SiO2. It is widely distributed in the earth's crust. Its unique microporous structure has excellent permeability and adsorption. It is widely used as a filter material and is more suitable for filtering sewage with high viscosity. It is efficient and does not damage the original water quality system. At present, there are many patents showing the use of diatomaceous earth as a filtration aid for fracturing return fluid, such as CN110270309A, CN110981040A, etc. Among them, CN110981040A uses a coated filter material to filter the fracturing return fluid, which has the advantages of good effluent water quality and no need for backwashing. It is believed that with the further development of this technology, diatomaceous earth as a filter material will be widely used in the filtration unit of fracturing return fluid.

[0004] According to statistics, after the fracturing operation is completed, about 15-90% of the construction fluid is discharged back to the ground. The massive consumption of water resources and the increasing amount of wastewater are posing an increasingly serious threat to the environment. Although diatomaceous earth has excellent filtration properties, there is currently no treatment solution for the waste diatomaceous earth generated after filtering the fracturing return fluid. It can only be classified as oily sludge and outsourced for treatment, which is costly and cannot be reused, resulting in waste. Summary of the invention

The process has simple treatment process, good treatment effect, low cost and can be reused, and has strong economic practicality.

[0034] Preferably, the mass ratio of the waste diatomaceous earth to clean water in step 1) is 1:3 to 1:20, so that the waste diatomaceous earth can be cleaned conveniently with a cleaning and repairing agent.

[0035] Preferably, the mass ratio of the mixture in step 1) to the cleaning and repairing agent is 1:0.005 to 1:0.03, so as to ensure that the cleaning and repairing agent can completely react with the mixture in step 1) within a reasonable dosage range, reduce waste and improve utilization.

[0036] Preferably, the active ingredients of the cleaning and repairing agent are sodium hypochlorite, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, sodium pyrophosphate and hydrochloric acid, and the mass ratio of sodium hypochlorite, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, sodium pyrophosphate and hydrochloric acid is 1-3:0.6-1:0.6-1:1-2.

[0037] The main ingredients of the cleaning and repairing agent are sodium hypochlorite, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, sodium pyrophosphate and hydrochloric acid; its principle is to use redox reaction to oxidize FeS adsorbed in diatomaceous earth.

[0038] The reaction process is ClO - +FeS+2H + =Cl - +S↓+H2O+Fe 2+

[0039] EDTA is an organic acid. It uses its own acidity or active groups to wet, solubilize and disperse FeS scale to achieve the purpose of cleaning and descaling. In addition, the lone pair of electrons of -NH2 in EDTA can react with Fe2+ Ion coordination chelation solubilization; sodium pyrophosphate, used as a chelating agent and surfactant; hydrochloric acid, a small amount of hydrochloric acid is used here to adjust the pH value of the washing liquid to prevent Fe 2+ hydrolysis.

[0040] Preferably, hydrochloric acid adjusts the pH value of the washing liquid to pH 3-5. 2+ hydrolysis.

[0041] Preferably, the stirring speed in step 3) is 0.1 to 120 rpm. This speed increases the reaction speed of the mixture to which the cleaning and repairing agent is added.

[0042] Preferably, the mixture with the cleaning and repairing agent added is stirred after heating. Stirring after heating can increase the reaction speed of the mixture with the cleaning and repairing agent added, shorten the cleaning time, and improve work efficiency.

[0052] Within this temperature and time range, some organic matter that is difficult to remove with cleaning and repairing agents can be completely volatilized, thereby forming a better pore structure.

The diatomite can also be retained on the drum surface for fracturing fluid treatment. Since even new diatomite needs to be mixed with water, the treated diatomite stock liquid can be directly sucked out to form a diatomite filter cake for use or mixed with a certain proportion of new diatomite for use. For those that are not used temporarily, they can be dried and sieved for storage. The treated liquid can be stored in a liquid tank for fracturing fluid reuse.

[0057] Preferably, a filter press is used for solid-liquid separation of the mixture after the complete reaction because it has a simple structure, is easy to operate, runs stably, is convenient to maintain, has strong adaptability to materials, and has excellent separation effect and solid content.

[0088] Experimental results:

[0089] Example Performance evaluation of regenerated diatomaceous earth (treated diatomaceous earth) and comparison of its permeability with fresh diatomaceous earth (see Table 1). The permeability is mainly calculated by the following formula:

[0090]

[0091] Where:

[0092] k—permeability, in darcy;

[0093] A—filtration area, in square centimeters (cm 2 );

[0094] Q—filtrate flow rate (the average of three test results), Q=V / t, in milliliters per second (mL / s);

[0095] t—filtering time, in seconds (s);

[0096] V—filtrate area within filtration time t, in milliliters (mL);

[0097] η—viscosity coefficient, in centipoise (cP);

[0098] h—filter cake thickness, in centimeters (cm);

[0099] P—vacuum degree, unit is Pa (Pa).

[0100] Table 1 Performance evaluation of regenerated diatomite and comparison of its permeability with fresh diatomite

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] According to the above formula, it can be seen from Table 1 that the permeability of the waste diatomite recycled by Example 1 is 1.17 Darcy, the permeability of the fresh diatomite is 1.46 Darcy, and the permeability of the untreated waste diatomite is 1.37 Darcy. It can be seen that the permeability of the recycled diatomite is lower than 20.21%, but it is also within the reasonable range of 0.8 to 1.5 Darcy of the permeability of 200 mesh diatomite.

[0104] The filtration time of the untreated waste diatomaceous earth is shorter than that of Examples 1 to 5 and fresh diatomaceous earth. The reason is that the particles and pores of the untreated waste diatomaceous earth are larger than those of the treated diatomaceous earth and fresh diatomaceous earth. Therefore, the water quality of the untreated waste diatomaceous earth after filtration is worse than that of the treated diatomaceous earth, and the filtration speed of the untreated waste diatomaceous earth is fast.

[0105] Further comparison shows that the use of the cleaning and repairing agent in Examples 1 to 5 makes the permeability of the regenerated diatomite within a reasonable range, but within the component range of the cleaning and repairing agent, changes in the component content of the cleaning and repairing agent have little effect on the permeability of the regenerated diatomite.

[0106] Analysis of the filtration performance of fracturing flowback fluid by regenerated diatomite (treated diatomite) (see Table 2)

[0107] Take 50g of regenerated diatomaceous earth, add 500ml of water, stir to form a suspension, form a filter cake in a filtration device, then add 100ml of fracturing flowback fluid to filter, and analyze the filtered liquid.

[0108] Table 2 Analysis of the filtration performance of regenerated diatomite on fracturing flowback fluid

[0109]

[0110]

[0111] From the analysis in Table 2, it can be seen that the filtrate after filtration with regenerated diatomaceous earth has lower chromaticity and is better for treating fracturing flowback fluid.

[0112] The above examples are merely illustrative of the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. All designs that are the same or similar to the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
