Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solid-liquid separation, in particular to oilfield hydraulic sandblasting perforation flowback sand-liquid separation and circulation equipment. Background Art
[0002] Hydraulic sandblasting perforation is a critical technology in oilfield operations. It uses high-pressure water jets, carrying abrasives, to create holes in casing and formations, establishing pathways for subsequent oil and gas extraction. After sandblasting, a large amount of high-sand wastewater returns to the surface, becoming a major source of water pollution in oilfields. The primary task of wastewater treatment is to separate the sand from the high-sand flowback.
[0003] According to the search, Chinese patent literature, announcement number: CN105363574A, discloses an oilfield hydraulic sandblasting perforation return sand and liquid separation circulation equipment. The equipment uses dual forces to efficiently separate solid sand particles, namely centrifugal force and inertial force. After the return liquid swirls from the buffer chamber into the acceleration wide gap, the tangential velocity and axial velocity of the liquid increase rapidly. Under the action of centrifugal force, the sand particles are thrown to the inner wall of the separation tank. Many sand particles gather and slide along the tank wall to the bottom of the tank and sink to the bottom of the tank. After the accelerated liquid leaves the acceleration channel, the flow rate slows down, and is supported by the liquid in the lower chamber, the flow rate is greatly reduced, and the solid sand particles are rushed to the bottom of the separation tank under the action of inertial force, gather and settle, which greatly reduces the erosion of the equipment during the separation process.

[0030] The hydraulic separator 2 includes a column 21, the bottom of the column 21 is connected to a cone 22 via a flange, the bottom of the cone 22 is connected to a sand discharge pipe 23 via a flange, the top of the column 21 is connected to a top cover 24 via a flange, the top of the top cover 24 is connected to a liquid discharge pipe 25 via bolts, and a sand and liquid inlet pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the column 21;
[0031] The screening assembly 4 includes a sieve plate 41, the top of the sieve plate 41 is fixedly connected to a frame 42, the outer surface of the frame 42 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 43, the inside of the connecting rod 43 is slidably connected to a sleeve rod 44, the outer surface of the sleeve rod 44 is sleeved with a spring 45, the top of the sleeve rod 44 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 46, the lower surface of the sieve plate 41 is installed with a shaft sleeve 47, the inside of the shaft sleeve 47 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 48, the outer surface of the rotating rod 48 is clamped with an eccentric block 49, and one end of the rotating rod 48 is fixedly connected to the second pulley 410.
[0032] Specifically, the outer surface of the column 21 is connected to the support plate 1 by bolts, the sand and liquid inlet pipe 26 has an angle of 5 degrees with the horizontal plane, and the sand and liquid inlet pipe 26 is tangent to the outer wall of the column 21, and the inner walls of the column 21, the cone 22 and the sand discharge pipe 23 are fitted with an inner lining 27, and a positioning groove 28 is provided on the outer surface of the inner lining 27, and a tangential opening 29 is provided on the outer surface of the inner lining 27. A positioning strip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the column 21, and the positioning strip cooperates with the positioning groove 28. The inside of the top cover 24 is connected to the filter cartridge 210 by bolts.
[0033] The return fluid is input from the sand and liquid inlet pipe 26 and enters the interior of the liner 27. Since the return fluid forms a high-speed rotating spiral flow due to the tangential feeding, the sand and gravel particles with higher density in the return fluid are thrown to the cylinder wall of the liner 27 under the action of centrifugal force, and move downward along the cylinder wall, and finally discharged from the sand discharge pipe 23 at the bottom; while the water with lower density gathers toward the center and enters the filter cartridge 210 along with the rising water flow in the center, and then enters the liquid discharge pipe 25 for discharge, thereby achieving the return fluid The primary separation of sand and water can prevent some light sand and gravel from entering the liquid discharge pipe 25 with the water flow by setting the filter cartridge 210. Since the column 21, cone 22, sand discharge pipe 23 and top cover 24 are connected by flange rings, they can be disassembled and replaced after the lining 27 is severely worn; when replacing, the positioning groove 28 on the outer surface of the lining 27 is aligned with the positioning strip on the inner wall of the column 21, so that the tangential port 29 on the outer surface of the lining 27 can be connected to the sand and liquid inlet pipe 26.
[0034] Specifically, a guide plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the separation box 3, and the guide plate 12 is located below the sand discharge pipe 23. The outer surface of the mesh belt 6 is installed with multiple equally spaced grid bars 7 by bolts, and a first synchronous belt 13 is connected between the double pulley 9 and the No. 1 pulley 10 for transmission.
[0035] After the return fluid passes through the primary separation of the hydraulic separator 2, the water-containing sand and gravel are discharged from the sand discharge pipe 23 and fall on the guide plate 12, so that the water-containing sand and gravel will be diverted to the screen plate 41. A screen is installed on the upper surface of the screen plate 41, so that the water-containing sand and gravel can be further filtered and separated, and because the screen plate 41 is inclined, the sand and gravel will gradually fall onto the mesh belt 6, and by starting the drive motor 11 to drive the No. 1 pulley 10 to rotate, the No. 1 pulley 10 drives the first synchronous belt 13, the first synchronous belt 13 drives the double pulley 9 to rotate, and the double pulley 9 drives one of the rollers 5 to rotate. With the cooperation of the other rollers 5, the mesh belt 6 can be driven to circulate, and with the cooperation of multiple grid bars 7, the sand and gravel can be transported upward, so that the sand and gravel are finally transported out of the separation box 3, and the sand transporter can be used to catch the transported sand and gravel, so that these sand and gravel can be recycled for hydraulic sand blasting and perforating operations.
[0036] Specifically, four straight grooves 14 are provided through the outer surface of the separation box 3, and a connecting rod 43 is inserted into the straight groove 14. The bottom end of the sleeve rod 44 is fixedly connected to the limiting block, and the top end of the spring 45 contacts the fixed block 46. The fixed block 46 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the separation box 3. Two shaft sleeves 47 are installed on the lower surface of the screen plate 41, and a rotating rod 48 is rotatably connected between the two shaft sleeves 47. A second synchronous belt 15 is connected to the second pulley 410 and the double pulley 9 for transmission, and an overflow pipe 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the separation box 3.
[0037] When the double pulley 9 rotates, it can also drive the second synchronous belt 15, and the second synchronous belt 15 drives the second pulley 410 to rotate, and the second pulley 410 drives the rotating rod 48 to rotate. The rotating rod 48 drives the eccentric block 49 to rotate with the cooperation of the two shaft sleeves 47. Since the center of gravity of the eccentric block 49 does not coincide with the axis of the rotating rod 48, the centrifugal force generated by its circular motion will cause the rotating rod 48 to vibrate periodically and generate a vibration force, thereby driving the screen plate 41 to vibrate. During the vibration of the screen plate 41, the separation of sand and water can be accelerated. When the screen plate 41 vibrates violently, the spring 45 can effectively buffer the impact force generated by the vibration of the screen plate 41, thereby preventing the screen plate 41 from being damaged due to excessive impact.
[0038] During use, the return liquid is input from the sand and liquid inlet pipe 26 and enters the interior of the liner 27. Due to the tangential feeding, a high-speed rotating spiral flow is formed. The sand and gravel particles with high density are thrown to the wall of the liner 27 under the action of centrifugal force and move downward along the wall to be discharged from the bottom sand discharge pipe 23. The water with low density gathers toward the center and enters the liquid discharge pipe 25 through the filter cartridge 210 for discharge, thus realizing the primary separation of sand and water. The water-containing sand and gravel after the primary separation by the hydraulic separator 2 are discharged from the sand discharge pipe 23 and fall on the guide plate 12, and are guided to the inclined screen plate 41 equipped with a screen for further filtration and separation. The drive motor 11 is started to drive the No. 1 pulley 10 rotates, the No. 1 pulley 10 drives the double pulley 9 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 13, the double pulley 9 drives one of the rollers 5 to rotate, and with the cooperation of the other rollers 5, drives the mesh belt 6 to circulate, and transports the sand and gravel upward out of the separation box 3 through the grid bars 7, and is caught by a sand transport truck for recycling; the double pulley 9 rotates and drives the No. 2 pulley 410 to rotate through the second synchronous belt 15, the No. 2 pulley 410 drives the rotating rod 48 to rotate, and the rotating rod 48 drives the eccentric block 49 to rotate. Because the center of gravity of the eccentric block 49 does not coincide with the axis of the rotating rod 48, centrifugal force is generated to cause the rotating rod 48 to vibrate, driving the screen plate 41 to vibrate and accelerate the separation of sand and gravel and water.
