Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to oil and gas field sewage treatment, in particular to an air flotation device for oil and gas field sewage treatment. Background Art
[0002] The produced water of oil and gas fields contains a lot of floating oil, suspended oil, solid particles, organic matter, heavy metals and other pollutants, which need to be treated to meet the discharge standards. Physical methods such as gravity and flotation are common methods for pre-treatment of oil and gas field wastewater, which can remove most of the suspended matter and oil in the wastewater, and then biochemical methods such as microbial degradation can be used to further remove other pollutants.
[0003] The flotation device is the main equipment for flotation. The generated microbubbles are adsorbed and combined with suspended oil droplets, flocculants, etc., and then float to the surface to form scum. The scum is removed by scraping, and the separation of water and scum is achieved. The scum contains not only oil, but also a large amount of light solids formed by the aggregation of flocculants and hydrolysis products of inorganic coagulants. The oil and other impurities are discharged together by scraping, resulting in a high content of impurities and pollutants in the recovered oil, which is not easy to recycle or needs further purification and treatment, which is not conducive to the economic benefits of recycling; in addition, some solid impurities and heavy impurities are unable to generate enough buoyancy to float to the surface due to the limited adhesion of bubbles, and continue to float freely in the water.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] See also Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present invention, a flotation device for treating oil and gas field wastewater comprises: a flotation tank 1, a suspended matter absorber 2 and a filter tank 3, a driving device 11 is installed on the top of the flotation tank 1, the driving device 11 is connected to a driving shaft 13, a pulsator 15 is connected to the bottom of the driving shaft 13, the pulsator 15 is located at the bottom of the flotation tank 1, and is rotatably connected to the flotation tank 1, and a micro-nano bubble generating device 16 is also arranged at the bottom of the flotation tank 1 below the pulsator 15, which is used to inject a large number of micro-bubbles into the wastewater at the bottom of the tank;
[0030] like Figure 2 , 3The suspended matter absorber 2 is a vertical tube structure, and the suspended matter absorber 2 is fixedly installed near the tank wall of the flotation tank 1. A plurality of cavities 22 are arranged in the suspended matter absorber 2, and adjacent cavities 22 are separated by pipe plugs 24. A piston 221 is arranged in the cavity 22, and the pistons 221 in adjacent cavities 22 are connected by pipes 222, and the pipes 222 are connected to the inside of the pistons 221. A through hole is arranged on the bottom end surface of the piston 221, and a floating retaining ring 2211 is arranged above the through hole in the piston 221. An absorption hole 223 is arranged on the side of the suspended matter absorber 2 at the bottom end position of each cavity 22; a sleeve 224 is also arranged between the piston 221 and the suspended matter absorber 2, and a hollow groove is arranged on the side of the sleeve 224, and the hollow groove consists of two sections of longitudinal longitudinal grooves 2241 and two sections of spiral grooves 2241 in a spiral direction. 242, two sections of longitudinal grooves 2241 and two sections of spiral grooves 2242 are connected end to end in sequence, and a protrusion embedded in the hollow groove is provided at the edge of the piston 221. When the piston 221 moves up and down, the sleeve 224 can move through the hollow groove. Specifically, when the protrusion moves with the piston 221 in the longitudinal groove 2241, the sleeve 224 does not move. When the protrusion moves to the end position of the spiral groove 2242 and continues to move, it will generate a rotational force on the sleeve 224 to rotate the sleeve 224. During the circular movement of the protrusion in the hollow groove, the two sections of spiral grooves 2242 cause the sleeve 224 to rotate in opposite directions respectively; a valve hole 2243 is also provided on the side surface of the bottom end of the sleeve 224 at a position corresponding to the absorption hole 223. During the rotation of the sleeve 224, the valve hole 2243 overlaps and interlaces with the absorption hole 223 to open and close the absorption hole 223;
[0031] like Figure 4 , 5The filter tank 3 is arranged near the top of the flotation tank 1. The filter tank 3 is a horizontal tube structure with a through groove on its top surface. A filter assembly is arranged inside the filter tank 3. The filter assembly consists of a rotating shaft 36, two groups of filter screens 35 and two groups of partitions 34 respectively connected to the rotating shaft 36, and two groups of end panels at both ends of the rotating shaft 36. The two groups of end panels are respectively fixed to the two ends of the filter tank 3. The rotating shaft 36 is rotatably connected to the end panels and has rotation damping. The two groups of filter screens 35 and the two groups of partitions 34 are alternately arranged in sequence and are perpendicular to each other. A separation cylinder 39 is also connected between the filter screens 35 and the partitions 34. A connecting port 33 is provided at one end of the filter tank 3. The connecting port 33 is connected to the water outlet 21 through a pipe 211. The water outlet 21 is arranged on the top side of the suspended matter absorber 2, and the filter component is provided with a water hole 331 on the end panel located at this end, and the water hole 331 is used to connect the connecting port 33 and the inside of the filter component; the other end of the filter tank 3 is provided with a gear mechanism 37, and the gear mechanism 37 is connected to the rotating shaft 36. The filter component is provided with a suspended matter outlet 321 at the bottom of this end, and the suspended matter outlet 321 is connected to the suspended matter discharge pipe 32, and the filter component is provided with an oil outlet hole 311 on the end panel located at this end, and the oil outlet hole 311 is connected to the oil discharge pipe 31; the filter tank 3 is also connected to an oil baffle 38 on one side of the through groove, and the height of the oil baffle 38 is higher than the oil surface so that the oil layer on this side cannot flow into the through groove.
[0032] The suspended matter absorber 2 and the filter tank 3 are arranged in multiple arrays. A swash plate 12 is also provided at the top of the flotation tank 1. The swash plate 12 is rotatably connected to the flotation tank 1. A plurality of connecting rods 14 are movably connected to the bottom of the swash plate 12. The connecting rods 14 are respectively connected to the connectors 23 located at the top of the suspended matter absorber 2. The connectors 23 are connected to the piston 221 at the top. The connecting rods 14 are provided with a rack structure 141 at the position of the gear mechanism 37. The rack structure 141 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 36, i.e., the filter assembly, after being meshed with the gear.
[0033] A sewage pump 17 is connected to the bottom of the flotation tank 1. Sewage is injected into the tank from the bottom of the flotation tank 1 through the sewage pump 17. When the sewage injection height reaches the operating height, the water injection is stopped. A large number of microbubbles are injected into the sewage pump through the micro-nano bubble generating device 16. The microbubbles adhere to the oil droplets and flocculants suspended in the sewage and bring them to the surface. At the same time, the driving device 11 drives the impeller 15 to rotate at a low speed through the driving shaft 13, so that the sewage in the tank forms a vortex. Under the action of the centrifugal force of the vortex, some suspended matter with a large mass that cannot float is dispersed to a position close to the tank wall. The driving shaft 13 synchronously drives the swash plate 12 to rotate. When the swash plate 12 rotates, the height position of the connecting rod 14 changes, forming an up and down reciprocating motion state. Assuming that the connecting rod 14 starts to move up from the lowest stroke position, during the upward movement, the piston 221 is driven to move up. At this time, the floating retaining ring 2211 in the piston 221 is pressed on the through hole on the bottom end face of the piston 221 due to the negative pressure, and the piston 221 draws the water near the outside of the suspended matter absorber 2 into the air In the cavity 22, during this process, the protrusion is located in the longitudinal groove 2241 and moves. When the piston 221 moves to a position close to the highest stroke, the protrusion enters the spiral groove 2242. In the process of continuing to move upward, the sleeve 224 rotates until the absorption hole 223 at the bottom is closed. At this time, the piston 221 reaches the highest stroke position and starts to move downward. In the above process, due to the effect of centrifugal separation, the suspended matter content in the water body at this position is relatively high. Therefore, most of the pollutants suspended in the water can be removed in this step. After the piston 221 reaches the highest stroke position, it starts to move downward. At this time, the protrusion enters another longitudinal groove 2241 and does not act on the sleeve 224. When the piston 221 moves downward, the sewage in the cavity 22 is pressurized. At this time, the sewage can only enter it from the through hole on the bottom end face of the piston 221. The sewage in the lower piston 221 will be transported upward through the connecting pipe 222, and finally the sewage will be pressed into the water outlet 21 and sent to the connecting port 33 through the pipe 211. The suspended pollutants in the sewage can be removed under the reciprocating cycle;
[0034] Relatively small suspended pollutants form a scum layer on the surface of the water body along with microbubbles. The scum layer gathers to the filter tank 3 on one side under the action of the cyclonic force and enters the filter assembly from the notch of the through slot. The scum is filtered on the filter screen 35 and leaves solid matter. The oil flows from the filter screen 35 to the bottom and gathers, and is discharged to the outside of the tank through the oil outlet 311. By designing the relevant parameters of the gear meshing transmission of the rack and the gear, the connecting rod 14 makes the gear rotate half a circle in one stroke, that is, the filter assembly is in a reciprocating rotation state of 180°. When the upper When the filter screen 35 rotates to the inside of the filter tank 3, the separation cylinder 39 begins to rotate out and gradually closes the slot of the through slot, and the filter screen 35 at the bottom begins to rotate upward to realize the switching of the filter screen 35. After the filter screen 35 enters the bottom, the sewage containing suspended matter pressed into the connection port 33 flows from the water hole 331 at the bottom of the filter component to the other side. During the flow, the contact with the filter screen 35 will wash down the suspended matter filtered on the filter screen 35 and discharge it out of the tank from the suspended matter outlet 321, thereby realizing the separation of oil and solid residue in the scum.
