Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil-water separation, and particularly relates to an oil-gas-water treatment device and a working method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the oil well produced liquid has a high water content, in order to obtain oil with high purity, it is usually necessary to separate and treat the oil well produced liquid by using a treatment device. Generally, the treatment device separates oil and water by using gravity. During treatment, oil and water are introduced into a mixing cavity of the treatment device, and water is deposited at the bottom of the mixing cavity due to gravity. Due to the difference in density between oil and water, the oil layer is kept above the water layer. With the rising of the liquid level, the oil and water are separated and the upper layer of oil enters an oil cavity, and the lower layer of water enters a water cavity. Since the water in the oil liquid exists in the form of free water, emulsified water and dissolved water, gravity separation can only separate the free water. In addition, in this process, in order to meet the actual production needs, oil and water usually continuously flow into the mixing cavity, which will cause the oil and water in the mixing cavity to fluctuate vertically, resulting in a large amount of water being mixed into the oil cavity, so that the oil and water are not completely separated.
[0003] Obviously, the single separation effect is very limited, and it is usually necessary to separate and treat it again. At this time, a pump is usually required to guide the oil liquid in the oil cavity to be discharged, which increases the treatment cost.
[0004] In addition, some treatment devices further treat the oil liquid after gravity separation, such as heating the oil liquid to break the emulsion and remove water, so as to reduce the water content of the oil liquid. Since the oil liquid is heated to break the emulsion and remove water, gas is generated at the same time. In order to control the pressure in the heating cavity of the treatment device within a certain pressure range, a control component and a detection device are usually required to regularly discharge the gas. Obviously, in this process, the gas is an additional product, which does not help the whole treatment process, and also increases the complexity of the equipment and the cost of the equipment.

[0068] The top end of the partition 112 is spaced apart from the top wall of the first tank body 111 by a predetermined distance to communicate the water collecting cavity 1102 with the water filtering cavity 1103. The bottom wall of the oil collecting component 113 has a predetermined gap with the bottom wall of the first tank body 111 to communicate the first mixing cavity 1101 with the water filtering cavity 1103. The first tank body 111 has a guide inlet 11101, which communicates with the first mixing cavity 1101, the guide inlet 11101 being used to guide the oil-gas-water mixture into the first mixing cavity 1101.

The oil-water flowing through the flow stabilizer 22 can be divided into multiple streams by the plurality of layering-promoting members 23 in each set and introduced into the corresponding layering-promoting channels 2301. The layering-promoting members 23 are designed to be bent to form a plurality of convex blocking parts 231 and a plurality of concave blocking parts 232, and the plurality of convex blocking parts 231 and the plurality of concave blocking parts 232 are arranged in a spaced apart manner. The oil-water flowing in the layering-promoting channel 2301 changes the flow direction by impacting the convex blocking parts 231 and the concave blocking parts 232 and generates inertial force through flow direction mutation to perform oil-water layering.
[0077] Specifically, in the process of oil and water flowing in the stratification promoting channel 2301 constantly changing the flow direction due to the bending design of the stratification promoting member 23, oil and water constantly impact the convex blocking part 231 and the concave blocking part 232 of the stratification promoting member 23. Since the density of oil is less than that of water, the inertial force of water is greater than that of oil when the flow direction changes. In this process, water with greater inertial force tends to the edge of the stratification promoting channel 2301, and oil with smaller inertial force tends to the center of the stratification promoting channel 2301, so as to accelerate the convergence of oil layer, the convergence of water layer and the stratification of oil and water by using the action of inertial force.
[0078] It is worth mentioning that the stratification promoting member 23 has at least two groups, and each two groups of the stratification promoting member 23 are connected side by side and respectively extend downwardly and obliquely to the two opposite inner walls of the first tank body 111 to form a converging part 233. Oil and water flowing in the stratification promoting channel 2301 converge in the converging part 233 under the action of their own gravity, so that the oil layer and the water layer in each stratification promoting channel 2301 can converge respectively, laying the foundation for subsequent oil and water stratification.
[0079] Preferably, each group of the stratification promoting member 23 is inclined at an angle of 15-20 degrees with the plane where the high end part is located.
[0080] It is worth mentioning that the stratification promoting member 23 is spaced apart from the oil collecting member 113 by a predetermined distance, so that the converged oil layer and the converged water layer after flowing through each stratification promoting channel 2301 can converge in the part of the second part 11012 located between the stratification promoting member 23 and the oil collecting member 113, respectively, to promote oil and water stratification.
[0081] Preferably, the stratification promoting member 23 is provided with four groups, and each two groups of the stratification promoting member 23 form a pair, and two pairs of the stratification promoting member 23 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance. After oil and water are introduced into the part of the second part 11012 located between the two pairs of the stratification promoting member 23 after being treated by a pair of the stratification promoting member 23, the converged oil layer and the converged water layer after flowing through each stratification promoting channel 2301 can converge in the part, respectively. The converged oil layer and the converged water layer are guided to another pair of the stratification promoting member 23, at this time, the content of oil in the oil and water introduced into the stratification promoting channel 2301 located at the low end part is lower than that of water, and the content of oil in the oil and water introduced into the stratification promoting channel 2301 located at the high end part is higher than that of water, so as to stratify oil and water again by using the action of inertial force, and improve the effect of oil and water stratification.

The second mixing cavity 1201 is in communication with the oil guiding cavity 1203 through the oil overflowing port 1204, and the oil liquid in the upper layer of the second mixing cavity 1201 can overflow the top of the side wall of the oil guiding component 122 near the side of the second mixing cavity 1201 to enter the oil guiding cavity 1203 through the oil overflowing port 1204.
[0083] Preferably, the high end of the side wall of the oil guiding component 122 near the side of the second mixing cavity 1201 is designed in a zigzag shape to intercept as much water as possible when the water and oil in the second mixing cavity 1201 fluctuate, thereby reducing the amount of water introduced into the oil guiding cavity 1203 through the oil overflowing port 1204.
[0084] With reference to Figure 2 The first processing tank 11 is located on the top of the second processing tank 12. The second processing tank 12 further comprises an interfacing assembly 123, which comprises a first interfacing piece 1231 having a first interfacing channel 123101.

[0085] The interfacing assembly 123 further comprises a second interfacing piece 1232 having a second interfacing channel 123201. The bottom of the first tank body 111 has a water guiding outlet 11103, and the second interfacing piece 1232 is installed on the bottom of the first tank body 111 in a manner that the second interfacing channel 123201 corresponds to the water guiding outlet 11103, and the water guiding outlet 11103 is in communication with the second mixing cavity 1201 through the second interfacing channel 123201, so that the water in the water collecting cavity 1102 can flow into the second mixing cavity 1201 under the action of gravity.
[0086] It is worth mentioning that the water separated by gravity based on the density difference between oil and water still contains a small amount of oil, and the water in the water collecting cavity 1102 is introduced into the second mixing cavity 1201 and stays for a predetermined time, and oil-water separation is performed again by gravity to separate the oil as much as possible and improve the recovery rate of the oil.
[0087] Preferably, the radial length of the first interface 1231 near the first end of the oil collecting component 113 is smaller than the radial length of the first interface 1231 near the second tank body 121, so as to reduce the flow rate of the oil in the oil collecting cavity 1104 introduced into the second mixing cavity 1201, reduce the impact disturbance, and avoid the mixing of the water introduced into the second mixing cavity 1201 by the water collecting cavity 1102 and the oil introduced into the second mixing cavity 1201 by the oil collecting cavity 1104 as much as possible, so as to prevent the oil-water separation effect from being affected.

[0091] Preferably, the height of the bottom end of the first interface 1231 is higher than the liquid level of the water in the second mixing cavity 1201, so as to prevent the oil introduced into the second mixing cavity 1201 by the first interface 1231 from rushing into the water in the second mixing cavity 1201 and affecting the oil-water separation effect.
[0092] As preferred, the first phase connector 1231 extends into the second mixing cavity 1201, and the bottom end of the first phase connector 1231 is above the heating part 31. In this way, at the initial stage of the oil liquid being introduced into the second mixing cavity 1201 by the first phase connector 1231, the oil liquid is poured on the surface of the heating part 31; at the later stage of the oil liquid being introduced into the second mixing cavity 1201 by the first phase connector 1231, the oil liquid submerges the heating part 31, so as to make full use of the heat of the heater 30, and improve the utilization rate of the heater 30.

The liquid passage hole 501 formed in the protruding portion 51 is used for the oil after demulsification and dehydration to pass through, and the liquid passage hole 501 formed in the recessed portion 52 is used for the water droplets in the oil after demulsification and dehydration to flow along the inclined wall of the protruding portion 51 to the inclined wall of the recessed portion 52 due to surface tension and finally sink to the bottom end of the recessed portion 52 to be coalesced, and then flow to the low end of the second mixing cavity 1201. Every two adjacent oil-water separation pieces 50 in each set are stacked with the liquid passage holes 501 staggered, so that the oil introduced into the space between the oil-water separation pieces 50 at the top of one oil-water separation piece 50 has horizontal movement, increasing the residence time of the oil to coalesce the water in the oil as much as possible. The height of the oil overflow port 1204 is higher than the height of the oil-water separation piece 50 in the second mixing cavity 1201, so that the oil liquid that has not completed the coalescence and dehydration operation can not enter the oil guiding cavity 1203 through the oil overflow port 1204.
