Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heavy oil dehydration, and in particular to a heavy oil dehydration separation system and an operating method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Heavy oil is unprocessed petroleum, also known as crude oil. It is a dark brown viscous oily liquid with green fluorescence and a special smell. It is a mixture of various liquid hydrocarbons such as alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins. However, heavy oil contains a large amount of water molecules. When heavy oil is commercialized, it needs to be dehydrated and separated.

[0003] One of the commonly used methods for dehydrating heavy oil is to add a demulsifier to the heavy oil and stir it to accelerate the separation of water molecules from the heavy oil. However, the stirring efficiency is often limited by the high viscosity and low fluidity of heavy oil at room temperature, which limits the dehydration efficiency of heavy oil.

[0004] To address this issue, prior art CN204981769U discloses a simple crude oil dehydration device for the pilot production phase. The device comprises several storage tanks, a demulsifier dosing device, a heating boiler, and a sewage tank. The storage tanks are connected in parallel and functionally divided into a circulation tank, a settling tank, a good oil tank, and a sewage tank. The circulation tank, settling tank, and good oil tank are interconnected by pipelines. The circulation tank, settling tank, and good oil tank are each connected to the sewage tank via pipelines. The demulsifier dosing device is connected to the circulation tank via pipelines. Coils are provided within the storage tanks, and the heating boiler is connected to the coils via pipelines. The heating boiler heats the storage tanks via the coils, and the sewage tank is connected to the sewage tank. An agitator is provided on the circulation tank.

[0005] However, the aforementioned device uses hydrothermal radiation for heating. If the water contains impurities, they can easily accumulate at the bends in the coils, affecting heating efficiency. Regular coil cleaning and maintenance are necessary to ensure smooth water flow.

After the capacity shell 804 is filled, close the solenoid valve 5, start the first drive assembly, push the capacity shell 804 to the point where it is connected to the second pipe 13, and discharge the demulsifier in the capacity shell 804 into the mixing box 10;

[0070] S3, start the second driving assembly to drive the stirring blade 1204 to stir the heavy oil and demulsifier in the stirring box 10;

[0071] S4. Start the heater 1702 and the fan assembly at the same time. The fan assembly draws external air to the heater 1702 and discharges the heat generated by the heater 1702 into the air flow channel to heat the mixing box 10.

[0072] The present invention is provided with a heater 1702 and a fan assembly. The fan assembly draws external air to the heater 1702, and discharges the heat generated by the heater 1702 into the air flow channel. The generated hot air heats the mixing box 10, thereby increasing the temperature of the heavy oil and improving the fluidity of the heavy oil. The heating can promote the evaporation and volatilization of water molecules, accelerate the separation speed, and improve the dehydration efficiency. The system uses hot air heating, has few impurities in the air flow, and does not require frequent cleaning and maintenance of the air flow channel. It is suitable for long-term continuous heavy oil dehydration operations.

[0073] The present invention also provides a quantitative shell 7, a capacity shell 804 and a first drive component. The demulsifier in the medicine tank 4 flows into the capacity shell 804 of the quantitative shell 7 through the first pipe 6. After the capacity shell 804 is filled, the solenoid valve 5 is closed, and the filling of the demulsifier into the capacity shell 804 is stopped. The demulsifier in the capacity shell 804 is then pushed to the connection point between the quantitative shell 7 and the second pipe 13 through the first drive component, thereby achieving the effect of quantitative dosing into the mixing box 10.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions of the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field do not deviate from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
