Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of oil and gas field produced water treatment, and in particular to a device and method for removing oil and suspended solids. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of oil and gas field produced water treatment, the oil removal section of most produced water treatment stations mainly adopts the process of "natural oil removal + coagulation oil removal + buffer". This oil removal and suspended solids removal process has the problems of low oil removal efficiency, poor reaction effect, poor suspended solids removal effect, etc., and generally uses three-stage treatment structures, which have many stages and large land occupation. A multifunctional oil removal device is disclosed in Chinese patent (ZL201721134145.6), but this oil removal device has the following problems: first, the device adopts an upper, middle and lower structure, which is not easy to realize in structure and is difficult to manufacture and construct; second, the first oil removal zone of the device uses gravity sedimentation to remove oil, which can only remove oil particles with a particle size of 100 μm or more, resulting in poor oil removal effect in this section, and the oil content of the effluent is usually about 150 mg / L, a large amount of oil particles with a particle size of less than 100 μm in the water enter the second oil removal zone, resulting in a large amount of chemicals and a large amount of hazardous waste such as oil sludge; third, the device uses vertical flow, and the water distribution and water collection system is complex and prone to blockage and flow deviation. Fourth, the device is not resistant to load impact, as the water distribution horn of the second oil removal zone of the device is upward, when the water quantity changes, the oil and part of the suspended solids re-enter the water, resulting in poor oil removal and suspended solids removal effect. The existing coalescence oil removal technology for produced water treatment mostly uses fillers such as anthracite, ceramic, and serpentine, which has the problem of easy clogging, limiting its application in oil and gas fields.

[0067] As shown in Figures 1 to 8 , the embodiment of the present application provides a water oil and suspended solid removal treatment device, comprising: an adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2 and a sedimentation section 3;

[0068] The upstream of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2 is provided with a micro-vortex coalescer, the micro-vortex coalescer contains a micro-vortex coalescence element, and the micro-vortex coalescence element is configured to be capable of using micro-vortex effect to make oil and suspended solids in the oil-containing wastewater to be treated gather and become larger.

[0069] The upstream of the sedimentation section 3 and the downstream of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2 are provided with a micro-vortex reactor, the micro-vortex reactor contains a micro-vortex reaction ball, and the micro-vortex reaction ball is configured to be capable of performing a micro-vortex coalescence reaction.

[0070] The adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2 is configured to adjust the micro-vortex effect to separate oil and suspended solids in the oil-containing wastewater to be treated from water.

[0071] One end of the micro-vortex coalescer is in communication with a water inlet pipe for providing the oil-containing wastewater to be treated, and the other end of the micro-vortex coalescer is in communication with one end of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2; the other end of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2 is in communication with one end of the micro-vortex reactor, and the other end of the micro-vortex reactor is in communication with the sedimentation section 3.

[0072] In the description of the present application, the terms "upstream" and "downstream" are distinguished according to the flow path of the oil-containing wastewater to be treated in the water oil and suspended solid removal treatment device, and the upstream is the first to flow through and the downstream is the last to flow through.

[0073] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 1 , the treatment device further comprises a tank body 1.

[0074] The tank body 1 is a vertical structure, and the tank body is divided into the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section and the sedimentation section which are not in communication with each other, wherein the upper part of the tank body 1 is the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2, and the lower part of the tank body 1 is the sedimentation section 3.

[0078] For example, the first annular pipe can also be set as a pipe of other shapes, or the first annular pipe can be omitted. When the water level reaches the water collection branch pipe 7103 of the regulating micro vortex coalescing oil removal section water collection device, it enters the water collection main pipe 7105 of the regulating micro vortex coalescing oil removal section water collection device and flows downstream.

[0107] For example, the hydraulic residence time of the settling section is 30 min to 120 min.

[0108] Example 1:

[0109] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an integrated oil and suspended solids removal device, which consists of a regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2, a settling section 3, a micro-vortex coalescer, and a micro-vortex reactor. The liquid flows sequentially through the micro-vortex coalescer, the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2, the micro-vortex reactor, and the settling section 3.

[0110] The micro-vortex coalescer consists of a first-stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-1, a second-stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-2, and a connecting pipe 4-3 between the first and second stages. The first-stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-1 comprises a cylindrical body, a bottom grid 4101, and a first micro-vortex coalescing element 4102. The second-stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-2 comprises a cylindrical body, a bottom grid 4201, a second micro-vortex coalescing ball 4202, and a water distribution hole 4203.

[0111] like Figure 1 As shown, to illustrate the water collection device 7 and inclined tube 10 of the micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section, a section of the micro-vortex coalescer 4-1 is drawn in a broken manner. The bottom grid 4101 of the section of the micro-vortex coalescer is used to maintain the first micro-vortex coalescing element 4102 within the section of the micro-vortex coalescer 4-1. The section of the micro-vortex reactor 5-1 is drawn similarly to the section of the micro-vortex coalescer 4-1.

[0112] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the water collection device 7 for the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section is connected to the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2, and the other end of the water collection device 7 for the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 8 between the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section and the micro-vortex reactor. The other end of the connecting pipe 8 between the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section and the micro-vortex reactor is connected to the micro-vortex reactor 5.

[0113] like Figure 1 As shown, the first micro-vortex coalescer 4-1 is not directly connected to the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2, the second micro-vortex coalescer 4-2 is directly connected to the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2, the first micro-vortex reactor 5-1 is not directly connected to the settling section 3, and the second micro-vortex reactor 5-2 is directly connected to the settling section 3; the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2 is connected to the first micro-vortex reactor 5-1 through the annular perforated pipe 7102 of the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section water collection device, the water collection main pipe 7105 of the regulating micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section water collection device, and the connecting pipe 8 between micro-vortex reactors.

[0114] The micro vortex reactor consists of a first-stage micro vortex reactor 5-1, a second-stage micro vortex reactor 5-2, and a connecting pipe 5-3 between the first and second-stage micro vortex reactors. The first-stage micro vortex reactor 5-1 consists of a bottom grid 5101 and a third micro vortex ball 5102. The second-stage micro vortex reactor 5-2 consists of a bottom grid 5201, a fourth micro vortex ball 5202, and a water distribution hole 5203.

[0115] The first micro-vortex reaction sphere 5101 and the second micro-vortex reaction sphere 5102 can be Figure 8 The micro vortex sphere shown or with Figure 8 A similarly structured microvortex sphere. Exemplarily, the surface openings of the microvortex reaction sphere can be 10mm to 40mm; the opening ratio can be 30% to 80%; the wall thickness of the microvortex reaction sphere can be 1mm to 6mm; and the diameter of the microvortex reaction sphere can be 100mm to 300mm.

[0116] like Figure 1As shown, the produced water of oil and gas field first enters the first stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-1 through the water inlet pipe 6, and flows into the lower part of the first stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-1 and flows out from the upper part. The first stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-1 is located near the inner side wall of the tank body 1, and part of it is located in the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2 and the other part is located in the sedimentation section 3. In the first stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-1, when the water flow passes through the porous spherical shell flow guide hole of the micro-vortex coalescer, the speed and direction of the water flow change, the speed gradient is formed between the flow layers, a large number of micro-vortices are formed in the fluid, which promotes the disturbance and collision of oil particles in the water, and then the oil particles are coalesced into large oil beads and float up, achieving the effect of collision and coalescence oil removal; and part of the oil particles and suspended solids collide and combine in the micro-vortex to make them have the ability to carry suspended solids to float up; after the micro-vortex through the porous spherical shell flow guide hole, some small oil particles are not coalesced by collision, and are adsorbed on the coalescing filler in the spherical shell, and with the accumulation of adsorption, an oil layer is formed on the coalescing filler, and large oil beads are gradually coalesced on the oil layer, and the oil beads float up from the filler under the action of the density difference, achieving the effect of wetting coalescence oil removal; the wetting coalescence of the coalescing filler makes up for the defect that the porous spherical shell micro-vortex collision coalescence does not capture small oil beads, combines the two coalescence forms, improves the coalescence effect of the filler, and expands the oil bead removal range. The oil and gas field produced water flowing out of the first stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-1 enters the second stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-2 through the interconnecting pipe 4-3 between the first and second stage micro-vortex coalescers.

[0117] The oil and gas field produced water in the second stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-2 is further coalesced by further micro-vortex and mutual collision, and then the oil and gas field produced water flows out of the second stage micro-vortex coalescer 4-2 through the first water distribution hole 4203, and flows radially to the horizontal and downward, and enters the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2 (the space above the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section bottom plate 9).

[0118] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the oil and gas field produced water in the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section 2 falls on the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section bottom plate 9, and the liquid level rises until it reaches the height of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section water collecting device 7, and then enters the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section water collecting device 7. Among them, the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section water collecting device top baffle 7101, the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section water collecting device lower baffle 7104 and the side wall of the tank body 1 together form an annular space which is sealed at the upper part and open at the lower part (from the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section bottom plate 9 to the adjusting micro-vortex coalescing oil removal section water collecting device top baffle 7101). Figure 4As can be seen, the lower baffle 7104 can be jagged, and the water is collected more evenly to obtain better oil-water separation effect. The annular space is provided with an adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section water collecting device annular perforated pipe 7102, and the lower end of the pipe is provided with a hole. Oil and gas field produced water enters the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section water collecting device annular perforated pipe 7102, and the oil and gas field produced water in the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section water collecting device annular perforated pipe 7102 enters the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section water collecting device water collecting branch pipe 7103, and then enters the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section water collecting main pipe 7105, and then enters the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section and the micro-vortex reactor interconnecting pipe 8 to flow out of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2.

[0119] The larger oil and suspended solid particles are separated in the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2, and the oil floats to the top of the liquid surface of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section 2 and is collected by the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section oil collecting groove 13 (provided on the annular structure of the side wall of the tank body 1) and then discharged through the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section oil removal pipe 14.

[0120] The suspended solids in the oil and gas field produced liquid are deposited on the bottom plate 9 of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section and the bottoms of the first micro-vortex coalescer 4-1 and the second micro-vortex coalescer 4-2, and are discharged through the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section sludge discharge pipe 19, the first micro-vortex coalescer sludge discharge pipe 17 and the second micro-vortex coalescer sludge discharge pipe 18 respectively.

[0121] The oil and gas field produced water enters the first micro-vortex reactor 5-1 in the micro-vortex reactor through the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section and the micro-vortex reactor interconnecting pipe 8, and the oil and gas field produced water enters from the lower part of the first micro-vortex reactor 5-1 and is discharged from the upper part. When the water flow passes through the micro-vortex small holes at a proper flow rate, a large number of small vortices are generated on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell, the vortex flow of the water increases the flow rate gradient, promotes the diffusion and collision of colloids and fine oil particles in the water, and at the same time, due to the small flow rate, a three-dimensional flocculation layer is formed in the reactor. The three-dimensional flocculation layer has strong adsorption and net capture effect, so that the oil particles and suspended solid particles are increased, and the flocculation efficiency is improved. The oil and gas field produced water enters the lower part of the second micro-vortex reactor 5-2 through the first and second micro-vortex reactor interconnecting pipe 5-3, and the particles are further increased in the second micro-vortex reactor 5-2 through further micro-vortex, mutual collision and flocculation, and net capture effect.

[0122] Then the oil and gas field produced water flows out of the second micro-vortex reactor 5-2 through the second water distribution hole 5203, and the oil and gas field produced water flows radially to the horizontal and downward, and enters the space in the settling section 3 (the space above the bottom plate of the tank body 1 and below the bottom plate 9 of the adjusting micro-vortex coalescence oil removal section).

[0123] Exemplarily, the coagulant adding port 23 and the flocculant adding port 24 can be arranged on the interconnection pipe 8 between the micro-vortex reactors, and the coagulant and the flocculant are added respectively before the oil and gas field produced water enters the micro-vortex reactors, so that the emulsified oil is broken and the colloid is destabilized. When the water flow passes through the micro-vortex small holes at a proper flow rate, a large number of small vortexes are generated on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell, the vortex flow of the water increases the flow rate gradient, and the diffusion and collision of the colloid and the small oil particles in the water are promoted. At the same time, due to the small flow rate, a three-dimensional flocculation layer is formed in the reactor, and the three-dimensional flocculation layer has strong adsorption and netting effect, so that the oil particles and the suspended solid particles are increased, and the flocculation efficiency is improved.

[0124] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the oil and gas field produced water in the sedimentation section 3 falls to the bottom plate of the tank body 1, and the liquid level is continuously raised until the height of the sedimentation section water collecting device 11 is reached, and then enters the sedimentation section water collecting device 11. The top baffle 11101 of the sedimentation section water collecting device, the lower baffle 11104 of the sedimentation section water collecting device and the side wall of the tank body 1 together form a lower open annular space, and the annular perforated pipe 11102 of the sedimentation section water collecting device is arranged in the annular space. The lower end of the pipe is provided with a hole, so that the oil and gas field produced water enters the annular perforated pipe 11102 of the sedimentation section water collecting device. The oil and gas field produced water in the annular perforated pipe 11102 of the sedimentation section water collecting device enters the sedimentation section water collecting device through the sedimentation section water collecting device collecting branch pipe 11103, and then flows out of the tank body 1 through the water outlet pipe 12.

[0125] The oil and suspended solid particles in the oil and gas field produced water in the sedimentation section 3 are separated in the sedimentation section 3, the oil floats to the top of the liquid level, is collected by the sedimentation section annular perforated oil collecting pipe 15 (arranged in the annular structure of the side wall of the tank body 1), and then is discharged through the sedimentation section oil collecting pipe 16.

[0126] The suspended solids in the sedimentation section 3 are settled on the bottom plate of the tank body 1 and the bottom of the first micro-vortex reactor 5-1 and the second micro-vortex reactor 5-2, and are discharged through the sedimentation section sludge discharge pipe 21, the first micro-vortex reactor sludge discharge pipe 21 and the second micro-vortex reactor sludge discharge pipe 22 respectively.

[0127] Exemplarily, the oil and gas field produced water in the sedimentation section can pass through the inclined pipe 10, and further separate the oil and suspended solids by using the shallow pool principle.

[0128] The device provided by the application first removes oil through micro-vortex coalescence. When the water flows through the flow guide hole of the porous shell of the micro-vortex coalescer, the speed and direction of the water flow change, a speed gradient is formed between the flow layers, a large number of micro-vortices are formed in the fluid, the oil particles in the water are disturbed and collided, and then collide and coalesce into large oil droplets that float up, achieving the effect of collision and coalescence oil removal. Part of the oil particles and suspended solids collide and combine in the micro-vortices, thereby enabling them to carry suspended solids to float up. After the micro-vortices of the flow guide hole of the porous shell, some small oil particles that have not been collided and coalesced are adsorbed on the coalescing filler in the porous shell. With the accumulation of adsorption, an oil layer is formed on the coalescing filler, and large oil droplets are gradually coalesced on the oil layer. Under the action of the density difference, the oil droplets float up from the filler, achieving the effect of wetting and coalescence oil removal. The wetting and coalescence of the coalescing filler compensate for the small oil droplets that are not captured by the micro-vortex collision and coalescence of the porous shell. The combination of the two coalescence forms improves the coalescence effect of the filler and expands the oil droplet removal range. Then, the water enters the natural oil removal section, where part of the larger oil and suspended solid particles are separated through natural sedimentation. Then, coagulants and flocculants are added to the water, which enters the micro-vortex reaction section. In this section, the emulsified oil is broken and the colloids are destabilized through the addition of reagents. The broken emulsified oil and destabilized colloids increase through micro-vortex, mutual collision, three-dimensional flocculation, and net capture. Then, the water enters the sedimentation section, where three-phase separation of oil, mud, and water is completed.
