Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cleaning filter media for oilfield filters, and in particular relates to a cleaning process and device for filter media of oilfield produced water filters. Background Art
[0002] After a long period of operation, the pores of the filter media in the oilfield produced water treatment system will be filled with dirty oil and impurities. At this time, the filter basically loses its filtering capacity, which is manifested in the deterioration of the filtered water quality or the total pressure drop of the filter layer exceeding the standard value. In order to restore the filtering capacity of the filter media, it is necessary to regenerate the polluted and ineffective filter media with certain technology.
[0003] At present, the filter materials used in oil fields are mostly quartz sand, ceramsite, anthracite, walnut shells, etc., with a small amount of corundum or modified filter materials. When the filter material is seriously polluted, the filter should be stopped and thoroughly cleaned. Most of the cleaning methods use manual cleaning of the contaminated filter material, and then simple physical stirring cleaning, sedimentation filtration, and screen to remove impurities, and then rely on manual reinstallation into the filter for continued use, or replenish with new filter material. The above methods currently have the following problems: ① The manual cleaning and physical stirring cleaning process is complicated and will cause a large loss of filter material; ② Physical cleaning or conventional chemical cleaning is difficult to remove the silicon scale adsorbed on the surface of the filter material, affecting the filtering effect of the filter material; ③ The cleaning cycle is long, generally 5-7 days, and can only be carried out in summer; ④ Cleaning the filter material is prone to secondary pollution of oil pollution, and the cleaning process is relatively dangerous. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cleaning process and device for oilfield produced water filters that can meet the needs of rapid and thorough cleaning of filter materials.
[0004] Patent document CN213853255U discloses an integrated high-efficiency filter material circulation cleaning and filtering device for oilfield produced water, including a filter tank body, a water inlet is provided on the top of the filter tank body, a water outlet is provided on the bottom, and a filter assembly is provided inside; the bottom of the filter tank body is also connected to a backwash pipe, and a cleaning port facing the filter assembly is also provided on the side wall, the cleaning port is connected to a scrubbing circulation assembly through a pipeline, and the outlet of the scrubbing circulation assembly is connected to the upper part of the filter tank body through a reflux pipe, and a sewage outlet is provided on the filter tank body. The technical solution of this patent can improve the filtering treatment effect of the device and equipment, extend the service life of the filter material, and the cleaning effect is thorough and the amount of water used for cleaning is small. However, the method of this patent is to scrub the filter material in vitro, which is not suitable for the current scale formation of filters in the construction oil field, especially silica scale. The scale blocks are large and difficult to break manually, and the scrubbing effect in vitro is not good, which is similar to manual cleaning.
[0005] Patent document CN115700132A discloses a filter material cleaning process for a multi-tank filter system. Based on the design of a filter tank, a suction pump and a pipeline system, the filter material in two or more filter tanks or multiple filter tanks is sucked and transported by a pump, so that all the filter material in the tank is stirred in the tank, screened and washed in the pipeline outside the tank, and then returned to the tank in a cyclic cleaning process between the system formed by the tank and the cleaning pipeline. It has the advantages of high backwashing intensity, high oil removal efficiency, and less backwashing water. However, the technical solution of this patent is still an in vitro scrubbing type, which is not suitable for all filter material cleaning. For example, the fiber ball filter material is fragile, and it is basically unusable after in vitro scrubbing and returning to the filter tank.
[0006] Patent document CN111013246A discloses an anti-pollution and energy-saving filtering device and method for oilfield produced water, which adopts a two-stage backwashing method of small flow rate filter screen washing and large flow rate filter material washing, and the backwashing time is automatically controlled according to the turbidity of the backwashing effluent, which solves the problems of poor cleaning effect caused by the fixed filter material cleaning time in the prior art, and at the same time causes filter material loss and waste of water and electricity for backwashing. However, the method of the patent is daily online backwashing, and its cleaning method is not suitable for cleaning large scale or compacted filter materials. At the same time, the method of the patent requires real-time monitoring of the inlet and outlet water pressure and controlling the electric valves of each pipeline through a frequency conversion controller. The pipeline design is complex, and many equipment and instruments are invested. The water and electricity energy consumed for cleaning is high, and the operation cost is high. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0009] A process for cleaning an oilfield produced water filter, the process comprising the following steps:
[0010] Step S1. Water injection: inject water into the drug buffer tank;

[0015] Step S6. Cycle: Repeat steps S3-S6 to perform cyclic cleaning until the cleaning is complete.
[0016] Furthermore, before water injection in step S1, the pipeline is first cleaned with 0.3-0.4 MPa water and a pipeline leak test is performed. Water can be injected for chemical cleaning only after the leak test is qualified.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S3, the heating temperature of the descaling cleaning liquid is 60°C-80°C.
[0023] Furthermore, in step S3, the descaling cleaning liquid is used to soak the filter material for 6h-8h.
[0024] Furthermore, when implementing steps S4-S5, the scaling of the filter material is observed through the observation hole of the filter:

[0028] When the content of scaling ions in the two consecutive descaling cleaning solutions increases and the increase is ≥5%, the descaling cleaning cycle will continue;
[0029] When the content of scaling ions in the descaling cleaning solution increases between two consecutive times and the increase is less than 5%, the cycle cleaning is stopped.
[0030] Furthermore, in step S3, when the descaling cleaning liquid in the solvent buffer tank is heated, the optimal descaling temperature t0 of the descaling agent is obtained through indoor experiments, and the upper limit of the descaling heating temperature t is set according to the optimal descaling temperature. 0u And descaling heating temperature lower limit t 0m , use the temperature control system to detect and control the heating temperature of the descaling cleaning liquid:

[0032] When the lower limit of descaling heating temperature is t 0m <Temperature of descaling cleaning fluid t<Upper limit of descaling heating temperature t 0u The heating rod does not start heating and directly proceeds to the next process step.
[0033] Furthermore, before step S2 of dissolving the drug, the following oil removal and cleaning steps are also included:
[0034] Add the degreasing agent into the solvent buffer tank and stir to dissolve to obtain the degreasing cleaning solution;
[0035] Heat the degreasing cleaning fluid through a heating rod;
[0036] Pump the degreasing cleaning liquid into the filter so that the degreasing cleaning liquid covers the entire filter and soaks the filter material;
[0037] The degreasing cleaning liquid is discharged from the filter to the filtering device, and then returned to the solvent buffer tank after being filtered by the filtering device.
[0038] Furthermore, in the degreasing and cleaning step, the degreasing and cleaning liquid is heated to 60°C-80°C.
[0039] Furthermore, in the oil removal and cleaning step, the oil removal and cleaning liquid soaks the filter material for 3h-4h.
[0040] Furthermore, in the oil removal and cleaning step, the oil removal and cleaning liquid is discharged from the bottom of the filter, filtered by the filtering device and then returned to the drug dissolving buffer tank. After that, the following detection steps are also included:
[0041] Use an online oil concentration monitor to detect the oil content in the degreasing cleaning fluid returned from the solvent buffer tank:
[0042] When the oil content in the two adjacent degreasing cleaning fluids increases and the increase is ≥5mg / L, the degreasing cleaning cycle will continue;
[0043] When the oil content in two adjacent degreasing cleaning solutions increases and the increase is less than 5 mg / L, proceed to the next process step.
[0044] Furthermore, in the degreasing and cleaning step,
[0045] When heating the degreasing cleaning liquid in the solvent buffer tank, the optimal degreasing temperature T0 of the degreasing agent is obtained through indoor experiments, and the upper limit of the degreasing heating temperature T is set according to the optimal degreasing temperature. 0u and the lower limit of degreasing heating temperature T 0m , use the temperature control system to detect and control the heating temperature of the degreasing cleaning fluid:
[0046] When the temperature of the degreasing cleaning fluid T≤ the lower limit of the degreasing heating temperature T 0m When the temperature T of the degreasing cleaning fluid reaches the upper limit of the degreasing heating temperature T 0u When , the heating rod stops heating;
[0047] When the lower limit of degreasing heating temperature T 0m <Temperature of degreasing cleaning fluid T<Upper limit of degreasing heating temperature T 0u The heating rod does not start heating and directly proceeds to the next process step.

If the soaking cleaning is not thorough once, it can be recycled 1-3 times until it is thoroughly cleaned; the entire cleaning process is simple and easy to operate, and is applicable to all types of filter materials. It can avoid the situation where the filter material is fragile and cannot be reused due to external scrubbing, and the problems of long shutdown construction period of traditional cleaning technology and inability to ensure continuous operation of oil field production, so as to achieve stable water quality after filtration;
[0055] (2) The cleaning process of the present invention is an online cleaning process. When conventional backwashing is ineffective, the filter material is directly cleaned thoroughly based on the existing backwashing process to solve the problem of fast scaling rate and difficulty in descaling of produced water treatment filtration equipment.

The cleaning process is more controllable, the cleaning effect is more reliable, and it is more energy-saving;
[0057] (4) The present invention obtains the optimal heating temperature of the degreasing agent or descaling agent through experimental measurement, and sets the heating temperature threshold range according to the optimal heating temperature. The heating temperature of the degreasing agent or descaling cleaning liquid is controlled by the temperature control system, which can not only avoid the degreasing agent or descaling agent from being too low or overheated to affect the activity and ensure the degreasing or descaling effect of the degreasing agent or descaling agent, but also avoid the waste of electric energy caused by excessive heating and save resources. At the same time, the temperature control system is simple to operate, saves manpower, and has a high degree of automation.
[0058] (5) The equipment used in the cleaning device of the present invention is mature, reliable and easy to obtain; the vehicle-mounted filtering device used is a skid-mounted device, which can be used whenever it is moved; during the inspection and maintenance period of the filter, it is only necessary to install a three-way joint on the filter inlet and outlet water pipelines and connect the pipelines with the solvent buffer tank, the circulating cleaning pump and the filtering device, so as to achieve the purpose of online cleaning of the filter material. Little change is made to the existing pipelines and the installation is convenient. The entire cleaning time is about 8 hours. The operation method is simple, economical and practical, which can effectively ensure that the filter improves work efficiency and greatly improves the economic benefits of production.

[0102] Example 3
[0103] The embodiment of the present invention makes the following improvements based on the cleaning process of embodiment 1 or 2:
[0104] When heating the degreasing cleaning liquid in the solvent buffer tank, the optimal degreasing temperature T0 of the degreasing agent is obtained through indoor experiments, and the upper limit of the degreasing heating temperature T is set according to the optimal degreasing temperature.0u and the lower limit of degreasing heating temperature T 0m , use the temperature control system to detect and control the heating temperature of the degreasing cleaning fluid:
[0105] When the temperature of the degreasing cleaning fluid T≤ the lower limit of the degreasing heating temperature T 0m When the temperature of the degreasing cleaning fluid reaches the upper limit of the degreasing heating temperature T, the heating rod is automatically started to heat the degreasing cleaning fluid. 0u When , the heating rod stops heating;
[0106] When the lower limit of degreasing heating temperature T 0m <Temperature of degreasing cleaning fluid T<Upper limit of degreasing heating temperature T 0u The heating rod does not start heating and directly proceeds to the next process step.
[0107] Similarly, when heating the descaling cleaning liquid in the solvent buffer tank, the optimal descaling temperature t0 of the descaling agent is obtained through indoor experiments, and the upper limit of the descaling heating temperature t is set according to the optimal descaling temperature. 0u And descaling heating temperature lower limit t 0m , use the temperature control system to detect and control the heating temperature of the descaling cleaning liquid:
[0108] When the temperature of the descaling cleaning fluid t≤ the lower limit of the degreasing heating temperature t 0m The heating rod is automatically started to heat the descaling cleaning liquid; when the temperature t of the descaling cleaning liquid reaches the upper limit of the descaling heating temperature t 0u When , the heating rod stops heating;
[0109] When the lower limit of descaling heating temperature is t 0m <Temperature of descaling cleaning fluid t<Upper limit of descaling heating temperature t 0u The heating rod does not start heating and directly proceeds to the next process step.
[0110] The embodiment of the present invention obtains the optimal heating temperature of the degreasing agent or descaling agent through experimental measurement, and sets the heating temperature threshold range according to the optimal heating temperature. The heating temperature of the degreasing agent or descaling cleaning liquid is controlled by the temperature control system, which can not only avoid the degreasing agent or descaling agent from being too low or overheated to affect the activity and ensure the degreasing or descaling effect of the degreasing agent or descaling agent, but also avoid the waste of electricity caused by excessive heating and save resources. At the same time, the temperature control system has simple control operation, saves manpower, and has a high degree of automation.
