Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural gas equipment technology, specifically to a natural gas produced water oil removal and sedimentation treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] During natural gas extraction, both onshore and offshore gas fields generate a large amount of produced water. This produced water is one of the main pollutants in the natural gas extraction process. Its composition is complex, with key characteristics including high oil content and high emulsification. It also contains suspended solids, sulfides, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), and high concentrations of salt. If discharged or reinjected directly without effective treatment, it will not only cause serious environmental pollution but also corrode pipelines and equipment, clog formation pores, and affect gas field extraction efficiency and safe production. Among these pollutants, oil pollutants mainly exist in three forms: floating oil, dispersed oil, and emulsified oil. Emulsified oil, in particular, forms a stable oil-water emulsion system in produced water, making it difficult to remove through conventional gravity sedimentation methods, thus becoming a key challenge in the natural gas produced water treatment process. Currently, in the treatment of oil removal from natural gas produced water, air flotation oil removal technology has become one of the most widely used core processes due to its high treatment efficiency and strong adaptability. Its core principle is to introduce microbubbles into oily wastewater, and use the adsorption effect between the bubbles and oil droplets to carry the oil droplets to the surface of the water, thereby achieving oil-water separation and thus achieving the purpose of oil removal. Traditional oil removal processes require controlling and adjusting the height of the air flotation oil removal process, as well as cleaning the oil stains on the water surface. This usually requires multiple people to work together, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the varying water level heights during the oil removal process necessitate repeated adjustments, increasing the difficulty of the task. In addition, maintaining the integrity of the oil removal process requires multiple adjustments to the bubble position, further complicating the work. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a natural gas produced water oil removal and sedimentation treatment device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to perform oil removal work according to different amounts of impurity liquid, and to provide scraping protection.
[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the air flotation mechanism injects and pressurizes the liquid, then allows air to dissolve in the water to form an air supersaturated state, and then reduces the pressure to normal to allow the air to precipitate out and be released into the water as microbubbles to achieve air flotation. Then, the oil stains on the surface are scraped off by the oil scraping mechanism, and with the help of the ring bag, the oil stains are pushed into the ring bag for easy removal later, thus achieving oil removal from water. Furthermore, the connecting mechanism achieves fixed limitation with the limiting rod, so that the height can be adjusted according to the water and oil level, thereby increasing work efficiency.
