Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a treatment method and device for high-sulfur gas field produced water, and belongs to the technical field of gas field produced water treatment. BACKGROUND

[0002] High-sulfur gas field produced water mainly includes formation water produced by high-sulfur gas wells, as well as sewage from gas well acidizing stimulation, acid cleaning of gas pipelines, gas well sulfur dissolution and plugging removal, batch treatment of gas pipelines, and sand flushing of ground containers, etc. The characteristics of high-sulfur gas field produced water are high sulfide content, high COD cr content, high ammonia nitrogen content, strong corrosiveness, high risk, and strong pollution. The quality of high-sulfur gas field produced water is complex and varies greatly, with a pH range of 2.0-13.0, a sulfide content range of 500-5000 mg / L, a COD cr content range of 1500-6000 mg / L, and an ammonia nitrogen content range of 100-800 mg / L.

[0003] For the treatment of high-sulfur gas field produced water, the traditional purpose is to remove the hazardous and toxic sulfide, and methods such as flashing, air flotation, and chemical oxidation are used for sulfide removal and purification. The treated water is then reinjected into deep formations for disposal. However, with increasingly stringent environmental requirements, more and more attention is being paid to reducing COD cr and ammonia nitrogen, thereby changing from reinjection after treatment to resource utilization after deep treatment.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN211339121U discloses a high-sulfur oil and gas field sewage treatment system, which uses a combination of pressure reduction flashing and chemical oxidation to remove hydrogen sulfide in the sewage, achieving the purposes of sulfur removal and sewage purification. Chinese patent document CN102863097B discloses a standard-compliant treatment and reinjection method for high-sulfur oil and gas field sewage containing sulfur. First, the high-sulfur sewage is subjected to air flotation pretreatment in a closed air flotation tank to remove oil, part of the suspended solids, and hydrogen sulfide gas phase substances in the sewage. Then, the air flotation pretreated sewage is pumped into a dosing device, and an oxidizing desulfurizer, a coagulant, and a flocculant are sequentially added and fully stirred for desulfurization and coagulation treatment. However, the above method cannot completely remove the sulfide in the sewage, and the sulfide content is reduced to 0 mg / L. Moreover, residual oxidizing desulfurizer remains in the treated produced water. If the sulfide in the sewage cannot be completely removed, the sulfide is prone to overflow, causing poisoning of personnel or triggering the hydrogen sulfide alarm system, which seriously affects safety production. If residual oxidizing desulfurizer remains, it significantly increases the corrosiveness of the water treatment system, and is also very unfavorable for subsequent deep treatment and resource utilization.

[0005] The Chinese patent document with the publication number CN107686196B discloses a resourceful treatment method for high-sulfur wastewater in oil and gas fields. The method uses negative pressure desulfurization, chemical catalytic oxidation, flocculation and sedimentation, organic membrane filtration, ozone catalytic oxidation, activated carbon adsorption, new electrodialyzer fractionation concentration, and crystallization technology to treat high-sulfur wastewater in oil and gas fields, realizing the resource utilization of high-sulfur wastewater in oil and gas fields. The Chinese patent document with the publication number CN108128983B discloses a deep purification treatment process for high-sulfur and high-salt produced water in gas fields. The high-sulfur produced water in gas fields enters a natural sedimentation unit, a flotation and coagulation sedimentation unit, an evaporation crystallization unit, a high-level oxidation unit, and a biochemical treatment unit in sequence. The effluent water quality meets the standard and is recycled. However, the chemical catalytic oxidation, ozone catalytic oxidation, activated carbon adsorption, high-level oxidation unit, and biochemical treatment unit in the above treatment methods all reduce COD cr and ammonia nitrogen, resulting in a long treatment process, high energy consumption, and low efficiency. SUMMARY

Since there is no residual hydrogen peroxide in the treated water, the corrosion of the treated water on the equipment in the subsequent treatment process can be avoided. The treatment method of the sulfur-containing gas field produced water in the application not only has strong on-site adaptability, but also the quality of the purified water obtained is beneficial to the subsequent deep treatment and resource recycling.

[0085] The difference between the treatment method of the sulfur-containing gas field produced water of the present embodiment and the treatment method of the sulfur-containing gas field produced water of embodiment 2 is that, in the present embodiment, 14.35 mL of sodium hypochlorite solution is used per liter of treated water, i.e., the ratio of the molar amount of chlorine in the sodium hypochlorite solution added per liter of treated water to the molar amount of sulfide in the treated water per liter is 25.06:1.

[0086] Embodiment 8

[0087] The difference between the treatment method of the sulfur-containing gas field produced water of the present embodiment and the treatment method of the sulfur-containing gas field produced water of embodiment 2 is that, in the present embodiment, 16.96 mL of sodium hypochlorite solution is used per liter of treated water, i.e., the ratio of the molar amount of chlorine in the sodium hypochlorite solution added per liter of treated water to the molar amount of sulfide in the treated water per liter is 29.62:1.

[0088] Comparative Example

[0089] The difference between the treatment method of the sulfur-containing gas field produced water of the present comparative example and the treatment method of the sulfur-containing gas field produced water of Example 2 is that, in the present comparative example, the volume of the sodium hypochlorite solution used per liter of the treated water is 19.13 mL, i.e., the ratio of the molar amount of chlorine element in the sodium hypochlorite solution added per liter of the treated water to the molar amount of sulfides in the treated water is 33.42:1.

[0090] Experimental Example 1

[0091] In order to investigate the influence of the pH of the mixed solution in the first oxidation treatment on the first oxidation treatment, the sulfide content, residual hydrogen peroxide content, COD cr and ammonia nitrogen content of the treated water obtained in Examples 2-4 are listed in Table 1.

[0092] Table 1 Sulfide content, residual hydrogen peroxide content, COD cr and ammonia nitrogen content of the treated water obtained in Examples 2-4

[0093]

[0094] The results show that, when the pH of the mixed solution is 8.0, the sulfide removal rate of the first oxidation treatment is 88.3%, which is still relatively high; however, the ratio of the sulfide reduction amount to the hydrogen peroxide consumption amount is only 70.6%. The residual hydrogen peroxide content is still 0 mg / L, and the COD cr and ammonia nitrogen results are not much different from those of Example 2. Therefore, when the pH of the mixed solution is increased to 8.0, the ratio of the sulfide reduction amount to the hydrogen peroxide consumption amount in the first oxidation treatment process decreases by about 15%, indicating that the utilization rate of hydrogen peroxide decreases.

[0095] When the pH of the mixed solution is 6.0, the sulfide removal rate of the first oxidation treatment is as high as 91.8%, but the residual hydrogen peroxide content is 28.7 mg / L, and the COD cr and ammonia nitrogen results are not much different from those of Example 2. Therefore, when the pH of the mixed solution is decreased to 6.0, a small amount of hydrogen peroxide remains.

[0096] Experimental Example 2

[0097] In order to investigate the influence of the addition amount of the sodium hypochlorite solution in the second oxidation treatment on the results of the second oxidation treatment, the sulfide content, residual hydrogen peroxide content, COD cr and ammonia nitrogen content of the purified water obtained in Examples 2, 5-8 and the comparative example are listed in Table 2.

[0098] Table 2 Sulfide content, residual hydrogen peroxide content, COD cr and ammonia nitrogen content of the purified water obtained in Examples 2, 5-8 and the comparative example

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] The results show that the sulfide content of the purified water obtained in Example 2 is 0 mg / L, achieving complete removal of sulfide; the sodium hypochlorite content is 0 mg / L, which can effectively reduce the corrosiveness of the wastewater. And can realize the synchronous reduction of COD cr and ammonia nitrogen, the removal rates are 15.3% and 38.0% respectively, which is beneficial to the downstream deep treatment resource utilization.

[0102] The sulfide content of the purified water obtained in Example 5 is 0 mg / L, achieving precise sulfur removal; and can realize the synchronous reduction of COD cr and ammonia nitrogen, the removal rates are 10.3% and 31.2% respectively, but the COD cr removal rate is low.

[0103] The sulfide content of the purified water obtained in Example 6 is 0 mg / L, also achieving precise sulfur removal; and can realize the synchronous reduction of COD cr and ammonia nitrogen, the removal rates are 19.2% and 56.9% respectively, and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate is high.

[0104] The sulfide content of the purified water obtained in Example 7 is 0 mg / L, achieving precise sulfur removal; and can realize the synchronous reduction of COD cr and ammonia nitrogen, the removal rates are 21.6% and 72.0% respectively. It shows that with the increase of sodium hypochlorite dosage, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate is further significantly improved.

[0105] The sulfide content and sodium hypochlorite content of the purified water obtained in Example 8 are both 0 mg / L, also achieving precise sulfur removal; and can realize the synchronous reduction of COD cr and ammonia nitrogen, the removal rates are 26.2% and 79.8% respectively, and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate is high.

[0106] The sulfide content of the purified water obtained in the comparative example is 0 mg / L, but the sodium hypochlorite content reaches 51.3 mg / L, and there is residual sodium hypochlorite; still synchronously reduces COD cr and ammonia nitrogen, the removal rates are 26.0% and 80.5% respectively. But sodium hypochlorite will increase the corrosiveness of the wastewater, and also seriously affect the biochemical unit in the subsequent resource treatment.
