Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical environmental protection, and in particular to an energy efficient utilization system for hydrothermal treatment of oily sludge and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Oily sludge is a solid waste containing mineral oil generated during oil and gas drilling, gathering, transportation, storage, processing and oily wastewater treatment. It is divided into oily drilling mud, oil-based drill cuttings, ground oil sludge, oil tank sludge, oily scum sludge, etc. Oily drilling mud and oily scum sludge are a high-liquid (oil + water) homogeneous multiphase emulsion system, and its dehydration and drying is the bottleneck of subsequent treatment and disposal. Aged oil is a complex and stable water-containing oil slurry or oil-containing emulsion generated in crude oil gathering, storage, sewage treatment and petroleum and petrochemical production. Its stable state increases the processing cost and difficulty of the existing crude oil processing system. It not only occupies a large amount of storage space, but also affects the quality of external oil, interferes with the operation of the electric dehydration device, and causes equipment corrosion and scaling. How to economically and efficiently treat aged oil has become an urgent problem to be solved in the petroleum industry.

[0003] The hydrothermal treatment of materials such as oily sludge and aged oil is a process of flash evaporation after heating the materials under certain temperature and pressure conditions, breaking the flocs, cracking the macromolecular organic matter and dissolving some solids through a series of physical and chemical reactions, achieving conditioning, destabilization, dehydration and oil recovery. The hydrothermal treatment of oily sludge consumes a lot of energy, which increases the treatment cost. Therefore, energy saving and consumption reduction is one of the effective measures to promote its application.

[0060] Furthermore, valves are arranged between adjacent reaction kettles.

[0061] After the heat exchange and pressure equalization are completed, the valve between the two kettles is closed, and the heating kettle continues to flash. The remaining gas 33 after flashing in the reaction kettle flows to the preheating fluidized part through the gas outlet of the hydrothermal reaction part.

[0069] The specific steps include:

[0070] Step 1: The preheating fluidized part supplies materials to the hydrothermal reaction part 3, and the steam heating part (steam boiler 6) is started to heat and generate high-temperature steam 61. The steam heating part supplies high-temperature steam of 230-300°C to a reactor in the hydrothermal reaction part. The hydrothermal reaction part 3 includes at least 3 reactors. The high-temperature steam 61 heats the materials in the reactor (3-A) and supplies heat for the hydrothermal reaction. After the reaction, flash vaporization is performed. The reactor (3-A) constitutes a heating reactor. Another reactor (3-B) is connected to the heating reactor to form a heated reactor. The flash steam of the reactor (3-A) heats the materials in the other reactor (3-B) and equalizes the pressure. The reactors exchange heat and equalize the pressure alternately in turn. After the heat exchange and pressure equalization are completed, the temperature and pressure of the heating reactor and the heated reactor are kept consistent.

The condensation medium in the condensation heat exchange part is heated up and used as the water in the heating part to realize multi-stage waste heat utilization and reduce the heat load. The gas from the preheating fluidization part is cooled and condensed to form a low-temperature flash condensate which flows back to the flash tank, and the material in the tank is cooled to reduce the consumption of cooling water required for the condensation of the material, thereby reducing the cooling load and realizing energy saving and consumption reduction. At the same time, the low-temperature flash condensate is mixed with the material in the flash tank to reduce the volatilization of oil and gas, and the light oil is mixed with the heavy oil in the flash tube to realize extraction and oil extraction, and finally the oil content of the remaining solid phase after centrifugation is reduced, the volatilization of the light petroleum component is reduced, and the safety and pollution risks are reduced.

[0087] The above description is only an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by any person skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principle of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
