Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of descaling technology, specifically to a composite agent for preventing and removing scale in geothermal wells containing thermophilic acid-producing bacteria and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale development and utilization of geothermal resources, geothermal wells, during long-term operation, readily undergo chemical reactions to form deposits such as calcium carbonate and magnesium scale due to the high concentration of calcium, magnesium ions, and bicarbonate in the produced water under high temperature and pressure conditions. These scale deposits adhere to the walls of geothermal well pipes, oil pipelines, and related equipment, leading to a reduction in pipe diameter and increased flow resistance. This not only reduces the heat exchange efficiency and water output of the geothermal well but also accelerates pipe corrosion, shortens equipment lifespan, and increases maintenance costs and safety hazards in geothermal development. Therefore, scale prevention and removal have become crucial for the long-term stable operation of geothermal wells.

[0003] Currently, the scale inhibitors and descaling agents commonly used in geothermal wells are mainly divided into chemical agents, including organophosphonates and polycarboxylic acid polymers. These agents achieve scale inhibitor and descaling effects through chelation and dispersion. However, under the high-temperature conditions of geothermal wells above 100°C, they are prone to decomposition and failure, resulting in a significant decrease in the activity retention rate. Furthermore, long-term use can cause certain environmental pollution. At the same time, their corrosion inhibition performance is limited, making it difficult to meet the dual needs of scale inhibitor and descaling as well as pipeline protection.

[0004] Therefore, developing a composite agent that can adapt to the high-temperature working conditions of geothermal wells, has excellent scale prevention and removal effects, high-temperature stability and corrosion inhibition performance, and is environmentally friendly, efficient and has a long service life has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the field of geothermal development. Summary of the Invention

The organophosphonate needs to be modified by ultrasound before use. The ultrasound power is 200-300W, the ultrasound frequency is 40kHz, and the ultrasound time is 15-20min. After ultrasound, it is cooled to room temperature for later use.

Check the clarity of the mixture to ensure that there is no precipitation or turbidity.

[0020] S2. Add the prescribed amounts of ultrasonically modified organophosphonate, silica dispersant, and corrosion inhibitor to the reactor in sequence. After each component is added, continue stirring for 20-30 minutes at a stirring speed of 180-200 r / min to ensure that the components are completely dissolved and a mixture is obtained.

[0021] S3. Add the formulated amount of maleic anhydride-grafted modified polyaspartic acid and temperature-adaptive composite additive to the mixture, heat to 60-70℃ under nitrogen protection, adjust the stirring speed to 250-300r / min, stir for 30-40min, so that each component is evenly dispersed in the mixture.

[0025] S7. Detect the pH value of the agent, control the pH to 4.5-5.0, and dispense the finished compound agent under sterile conditions.

[0026] As a further technical solution, in step S1, the sterile reactor needs to be sterilized at high temperature before use, with a sterilization temperature of 121°C and a sterilization time of 30 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature before use.

[0027] As a further technical solution, in step S4, the sterile air needs to be filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane to ensure that no bacteria are mixed in.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] This invention, through rational optimization of each component and specific preparation process, synergistically enhances the performance of the composite agent, effectively solving the problems of high-temperature inactivation, poor efficacy, and difficulty in simultaneously addressing corrosion inhibition requirements in existing geothermal well anti-scaling and descaling agents. By introducing a thermophilic acid-producing bacterium agent made from *Bacillus stearothermophilus*, this strain can adapt to the high-temperature conditions of geothermal wells, continuously producing acid under high-temperature environments to lower the system's pH value and disrupt the thermodynamic conditions for the formation of calcium carbonate and magnesium scale. Simultaneously, its metabolites can chemically react with the scale, promoting scale dissolution, thereby achieving highly efficient anti-scaling and descaling effects. This solves the problems of high-temperature inactivation and insufficient anti-scaling and descaling efficiency in existing microbial agents. Compared to ambient-temperature strains, the high-temperature tolerance of *Bacillus stearothermophilus* allows it to maintain high activity even under extreme geothermal well conditions, extending the effective action time of the agent.

[0030] This invention further enhances the overall performance of the agent through the synergistic effect of its components. Maleic anhydride-grafted modified polyaspartic acid, prepared using a specific process, possesses stronger chelating ability, forming stable chelates with calcium and magnesium ions in water to prevent scale formation. Simultaneously, it synergistically enhances the scale prevention and removal effect with organophosphonates. The organophosphonates, after ultrasonic modification, exhibit better dispersibility and effectively inhibit scale aggregation. The addition of graphene microflakes to the silicon dispersant improves dispersibility and prevents existing microscale from adhering to the pipe surface. Combined with chelating components, it achieves dual scale prevention and inhibition. The corrosion inhibitor utilizes a complex of benzotriazole, zinc sulfate, and sodium molybdate. The appropriate formulation can form a preliminary protective film on the surface of N80 steel pipes. The metabolites of thermophilic acid-producing bacteria can work synergistically with the corrosion inhibitor to enhance the density of the protective film, prevent the corrosive medium from contacting the pipe, and thus improve the corrosion inhibition effect. This solves the problems of insufficient corrosion inhibition performance and easy corrosion of pipes caused by existing agents. The temperature-adaptive composite additive can prevent the agent from decomposing and separating at high temperatures, improve the retention rate of active components, and promote the synergistic effect of each component. The stabilizer further ensures the storage stability and consistency of use of the agent. The components work together to ensure that the agent can maintain excellent performance under high-temperature conditions.

[0031] The composite agent of this invention not only possesses excellent comprehensive performance but also boasts advantages such as environmental friendliness, practicality, and long service life. The overall technical solution is scientifically sound and highly practical. Compared to existing chemical agents, this invention introduces microbial components, reducing the amount of chemical agents used, making it more environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the microbial metabolites are biodegradable, preventing secondary pollution. Compared to existing microbial agents, this invention solves the problem of high-temperature inactivation of bacterial strains through component synergy, enhancing the long-term effectiveness of the agent. In summary, this invention effectively addresses many shortcomings of existing geothermal well anti-scaling and descaling agents, extending the service life of geothermal wells, reducing maintenance costs, and improving the economic efficiency and safety of geothermal resource development, thus possessing broad application prospects.

Dispense the sample into 5 identical high-temperature and high-pressure reactors, and add 1000 mL of the simulated water sample to each reactor.

[0096] ② The reagents of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were added to 5 reaction vessels respectively. The reagent dosage was 50 mg / L (the dosage of reagents for conventional geothermal wells). At the same time, a blank control group was set up (no reagents were added, and all other conditions were the same).

[0097] ③ Close the reactor, raise the temperature to 120℃, adjust the pressure to 1.5MPa, and keep the reaction at constant temperature and pressure for 24 hours. After the reaction is completed, let it cool naturally to room temperature, filter all the solution in the reactor, and collect the filter residue (scale).

[0098] ④ Place the scale sample in a forced-air drying oven and dry it at 105℃ until constant weight. Weigh the scale sample using an electronic balance and record the data.

[0099] ⑤ Calculate the scale prevention rate: Scale prevention rate = (scale mass of blank control group - scale mass of sample group) / scale mass of blank control group × 100%. Each sample is tested in parallel 3 times, and the average value is taken as the final scale prevention rate.

[0100] (2) Descaling rate test:

[0101] ① Preparation of standard scale samples: Using the above-mentioned simulated geothermal well produced water, the mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium scale was reacted in a high-temperature and high-pressure reactor (120℃, 1.5MPa) for 48 hours to generate a mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium scale. The mixture was filtered and dried to constant weight to obtain standard scale samples. The mass of each scale sample was controlled at about 2.000g.

[0102] ② Take the reagents from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 respectively, prepare a reagent solution with a concentration of 50 mg / L, and dispense it into 5 identical beakers, adding 1000 mL of reagent solution to each beaker;

[0103] ③ Place the standard scale samples into 5 beakers respectively, put them in a constant temperature water bath, control the temperature at 120℃, and soak for 24 hours. Stir once every 6 hours during this period, and stir for 10 minutes each time.

[0104] ④ After soaking, remove the remaining scale sample, rinse it with deionized water, put it in a forced-air drying oven, dry it at 105℃ to constant weight, weigh the remaining scale sample with an electronic balance, and record the data;

[0105] ⑤ Calculate the descaling rate: Descaling rate = (Initial mass of standard scale sample - Mass of remaining scale sample) / Initial mass of standard scale sample × 100%. Each sample was tested in parallel 3 times, and the average value was taken as the final descaling rate. The results are as follows:
