Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of high-salinity wastewater treatment and relates to a method and device system for softening and removing hardness from high-salinity wastewater. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the development process of oil and gas fields, especially in the development process of unconventional shale oil and gas, a large amount of drilling mud filtrate and fracturing flowback fluid is generated. The drilling mud filtrate and fracturing flowback fluid are complex in composition and are intermittently discharged with large fluctuations. After being collected, the drilling mud filtrate and fracturing flowback fluid are usually transported by pipelines or vehicles to a centralized waste disposal plant for unified disposal.

[0003] The drilling mud filtrate and fracturing flowback fluid are associated water generated along with drilling, including formation water and water injected during the fracturing process, and have the characteristics of high COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) concentration (3000-8000 mg / L), high total dissolved solids concentration (20000-80000 us / cm), and high hardness (3000-20000 mg / L). The drilling mud filtrate and fracturing flowback fluid are typical high-salinity, high-hardness, and high-COD wastewater, and are extremely difficult to treat.

[0004] At present, the traditional treatment process for drilling mud filtrate and fracturing flowback fluid includes oil removal treatment, hardness removal treatment, COD removal treatment, and membrane treatment. The existing hardness removal treatment is mainly adjusted and controlled by the following two methods: (1) the calcium and magnesium contents are tested at all times, and the required amount of chemicals is calculated and adjusted according to the following chemical equation; and (2) the amount of chemicals is directly determined and adjusted through on-site beaker experiments.

[0005] Mg 2+ + Ca(OH)2→ Mg(OH)2↓ + Ca 2+ ;

[0006] Ca 2+ + Na2CO3→ CaCO3↓ + 2Na + .

[0007] However, it is difficult to control and adjust the hardness removal of drilling mud filtrate and fracturing flowback fluid by using the above two methods. The main reason is that the types of wastewater are different during the actual collection of wastewater, and effective homogenization cannot be achieved. The existing technology has a lag, which will lead to the collapse of the hardness removal system and even the entire system cannot operate normally.

[0008] Therefore, how to quickly and effectively control the dosing during the hardness removal process of high-salinity and high-hardness wastewater to improve the softening and hardness removal effect is a technical problem that needs to be solved by the technical personnel in the field. SUMMARY
