Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an oilfield produced water treatment technology, in particular to an oilfield produced water closed multi-stage flotation oil removal method and device. Background Art

[0002] Oilfield produced water treatment is an important part of oilfield development and production. After treatment, produced water reaches the reservoir water injection index and is used for water injection and oil recovery. At the same time, the crude oil carried in the produced water is recovered as much as possible. Flotation technology is a highly efficient oil-water separation technology in the field of oilfield produced water treatment. The gas source of existing flotation devices generally uses nitrogen, air or associated natural gas, etc. After the gas is released, it is often directly discharged into the atmosphere, which cannot be recycled and also poses environmental risks; secondly, existing flotation devices usually cannot achieve multi-stage gas-water contact flotation separation, and the oil-water separation efficiency is low. Thirdly, existing flotation devices usually only have treatment functions, and after treatment, they need to be equipped with buffer tanks and other structures, resulting in many supporting facilities and a large area. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a closed multi-stage flotation oil removal method and device for oilfield produced water. Through the technical scheme, a primary cyclone flotation separation zone, a secondary cyclone flotation separation zone, a bubble enrichment flotation separation zone, a micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone and a water purification buffer zone are sequentially arranged in a closed tank body to separate and extract crude oil from oilfield produced water, with step-by-step separation, high separation efficiency and good effect; the equipment has high integration, small size, few supporting facilities, and small footprint; low operating cost, safety and environmental protection.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented in the following ways:

[0005] A closed multi-stage flotation oil removal method for oilfield produced water, wherein a primary cyclone flotation separation zone, a secondary cyclone flotation separation zone, a bubble enrichment flotation separation zone, a micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone and a water purification buffer zone are sequentially arranged in a closed tank body, and the method is carried out according to the following steps:

[0006] A. The produced water from the oil field enters the primary cyclone flotation separation zone and is added with dissolved air water for cyclone flotation separation. The bubbles in the dissolved air water and the oil droplets in the produced water from the oil field collide with each other, contact and adhere to each other under the action of the cyclone, and then float to the oil collection tank on the water surface of the cyclone flotation separation zone in a rotating flow state, and are collected through the oil collection pipe. The sediment in the produced water from the oil field sinks to the bottom of the primary cyclone flotation separation zone;

[0007] B. After the primary cyclone flotation separation treatment, the produced water from the oil field enters the secondary cyclone flotation separation zone from the bottom, and the dissolved air water is added to generate bubbles. The produced water from the oil field is spun through the cyclone tube, and the oil flocs go upward into the oil collection tank at the top of the circulation tube, and then are collected through the oil collection pipe. The sand in the produced water from the oil field sinks to the bottom of the secondary cyclone flotation separation zone;

[0008] C. The produced water from the oil field after the secondary cyclone flotation separation zone is added with dissolved air water and enters the bubble enrichment flotation separation zone. After the bubble enrichment and separation, the gas in the dissolved air water is released to generate large bubbles and small bubbles, and the bubbles are mixed so that the large bubbles hide in the small bubble group. The large bubbles can increase the turbulent kinetic energy of the gas-liquid two-phase flow, and the small bubbles can change the state of the microscopic gas-liquid contact interface, strengthen the adhesion and wrapping process of the bubbles on the oil droplets, and form a stable bubble-oil drop adhesion body. The oil droplets are gathered into the oil collection tank on the water surface of the bubble enrichment flotation separation zone through the guide baffle, and then collected through the oil collection pipe. The sand in the produced water of the oil field sinks to the bottom of the bubble enrichment flotation separation zone;

[0009] D. The produced water from the oil field after the bubble enrichment flotation separation zone enters the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone, where dissolved air water and flocculants are added for micro-spin flocculation flotation separation. The produced water from the oil field is mixed and contacted with the dissolved air water carrying the reagents again, and the migration and collision coagulation of fine particles in the water are improved through micro-vortices, which promote the mutual adhesion of the reagents and impurities in the water to form floccules that float to the oil collection tank on the water surface of the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone, and are collected through the oil collection pipe. The sand in the produced water from the oil field sinks to the bottom of the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone;

[0010] E. The produced water from the oil field that has passed through the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone flows into the clean water buffer zone through the high-level water outlet pipe to form clean water. The clean water at the bottom is produced into dissolved air water through the dissolved air pump and dissolved air tank outside the closed tank body to supply the dissolved air water required in step A, step B, step C and step D.

The oil field produced water enters the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone 5 through the oil field produced water partition inlet 16; D.The produced water from the oil field enters the lower part of the micro-spin flocculation reactor 23 of the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone 5. The dissolved air water inlet 17 is divided into three groups of dissolved air water inlets, namely the side wall and the center. The dissolved air water is connected in parallel with the doser 22. The doser 22 can automatically adjust the amount of the medicine according to the sewage treatment volume. The produced water from the oil field is mixed with the medicine and enters the micro-spin flocculation reactor 23 of the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone 5. The micro-spin flocculation reactor 23 can control the flow direction of the fluid inside and outside the annular cylinder 25 by adjusting the water flow rate of the three groups of dissolved air water inlets. When the flow rate of dissolved air water inlet in the core area is larger than that of the side wall, the produced water of the oilfield will flow toward the side wall through the pores of the vertical or inclined mesh spoiler component 24. On the contrary, the produced water of the oilfield will gather and flow toward the center while flowing axially. When the produced water of the oilfield flows through a large number of holes on the wall of the micro-spin flocculation reactor 23, countless tiny vortices are formed. According to modern coagulation theory, micro-vortices are beneficial to the migration and collision coagulation of fine particles in the water, increase the probability of contact collision, and promote the mutual adhesion of agents and impurities in the produced water of the oilfield to form flocs. Since the micro-spin flocculation reactor 23 is a hollow shell with a low internal flow rate, a large number of flocs with larger particle sizes accumulate and suspend in the water in the micro-spin flocculation reactor 23, which adsorbs fine flocs and oil droplets. The micro-spin flocculation reactor 23 has the functions of preventing short-flow of water, making the water flow evenly distributed, and improving the flow gradient. The micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone 5 enhances the adsorption of fine impurities and oil droplets in the oil field produced water by adding reagents to enhance the bubbles, and floats them to the top oil collection tank 7, and then collects them through the oil collection pipe 8. The oil field produced water becomes clean water after passing through the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone 5. The top of the high-level water outlet pipe 38 overflows and flows into the clean water buffer 6; E. The separated clean water enters the clean water buffer 6. After the clean water reaches a certain water level after standing, it is discharged from the closed tank 1 through the clean water output pipeline 14. The lower wall of the closed tank 1 located in the clean water buffer 6 is provided with a water outlet pipe 33 connected to the closed tank 1. The water outlet pipe 33 is connected to the dissolved water pump 31 outside the closed tank 1. The dissolved water pump 31 is connected to the dissolved air water inlet pipe 17 of the corresponding primary cyclone flotation separation zone 2, secondary cyclone flotation separation zone 3, bubble enrichment flotation separation zone 4 and micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone 5 through a connecting pipe through the dissolved water tank 32. .

[0044] The natural gas released from the primary cyclone flotation separation zone 2, the secondary cyclone flotation separation zone 3, the bubble enrichment flotation separation zone 4, the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone 5 and the water purification buffer zone 6 rises to the gas phase space zone 12 and is discharged and collected from the gas outlet 27 located on the upper wall of the closed tank body 1.

[0045] A safety valve is installed at the pressure relief port 28 at the top of the water purification buffer 6, a vacuum pressure gauge is installed at the pressure detection port 29, and an electric switch valve is installed at the gas outlet 27, which is connected to the natural gas supply pipeline in the station. When the gas phase pressure is detected to be lower than 10kPa, the valve is opened, and when it is higher than 100kPa, the valve is closed. When the ultra-high pressure is 180kPa, the safety valve is opened to release the pressure. A liquid level transmitter is installed at the liquid level detection port 30 at the bottom of the water purification buffer 6 to realize real-time monitoring of the liquid level in the closed tank 1.

[0046] During the test, the oil content of produced water reached 12 mg / L after treatment, the device operated in a completely closed manner, natural gas was basically recycled, and there was no waste gas emission.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bubble enrichment separator 21 of the bubble enrichment flotation separation zone 4 is prior art and will not be described in detail again.

[0048] The outlet level of the high-level outlet pipe 38 of the micro-spin flocculation flotation separation zone 5 of the present invention is 1-2 cm higher than the level of the oil collecting tank 7 in each zone, thereby effectively ensuring that the oil droplets on the water surface of each zone always float in the oil collecting tank 7 or on the plane of the oil collecting tank 7.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
