Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oilfield produced water treatment technology, and in particular to a modular oilfield produced water treatment system and control method. Background Technology
[0002] In oilfield development, produced water treatment is a crucial step. With onshore and offshore oilfields generally entering the tertiary recovery stage, the large-scale application of enhanced oil recovery technologies such as polymer flooding and binary / ternary composite flooding has led to a year-on-year increase in produced water volume, characterized by "high levels of pollution, high concentrations of wastewater, and high environmental degradation." Direct discharge of this wastewater without effective treatment not only causes severe environmental pollution but also results in a significant waste of water resources. Treating and reinjecting it into the formation not only solves the wastewater discharge problem but also replenishes formation energy, representing the mainstream direction for the resource utilization of oilfield wastewater.
[0003] Currently, most oilfield produced water treatment processes are fixed combinations, such as the traditional "sedimentation-flotation-filtration" process, which has the following technical defects: First, it has poor adaptability, unable to flexibly adjust the process configuration according to fluctuations in influent water quality (such as changes in suspended solids content and oil content) and effluent indicator requirements (such as different formation reinjection standards), resulting in unstable treatment effects and difficulty in meeting different reinjection or discharge standards; Second, it has limited treatment efficiency, with traditional processes being ineffective in removing fine suspended solids and emulsified oil, easily leading to clogging of subsequent filtration units and affecting the stable operation of the system; Third, it requires large amounts of chemicals, with traditional processes requiring the addition of large amounts of demulsifiers, flocculants, and bactericides, which not only increases treatment costs but also generates a large amount of chemical sludge, making subsequent sludge disposal difficult; Fourth, the filtration system lacks flexibility, with existing multi-stage filtration units mostly having a fixed series structure, unable to switch operating modes according to water quality conditions, resulting in low filtration effect and system fault tolerance. Although ceramic membrane filtration units can improve effluent accuracy, the membrane surface is prone to adsorbing oil, and the effects of traditional clean water backwashing or chemical backwashing are limited, easily causing membrane fouling and shortening membrane lifespan. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The first objective of this invention is to provide a modular treatment system for oilfield produced water. This system employs a modular design, allowing for optimized configuration of the number of modules and operating modes based on different water quality and treatment standards. It effectively treats suspended solids and mineral oil, and utilizes ozone-enhanced premixed demulsification, ozone-enhanced air flotation, and ozone-enhanced ceramic membrane backwashing for multi-stage, high-efficiency ozone utilization, effectively reducing reagent dosage. Through the synergistic effect of the first and second-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filtration devices and the ceramic membrane filtration device, it ensures that the effluent meets reinjection requirements, achieving efficient, flexible, and environmentally friendly oilfield produced water treatment. It features high treatment efficiency, simple process, and adaptability. The invention offers several advantages, including adaptability to various operating conditions. A second objective of this invention is to provide a modular control method for oilfield produced water. This method achieves flexible combination and adjustment of treatment steps through modular process reconstruction. It combines multi-stage efficient utilization of ozone with targeted reagent dosage. Through synergistic treatment steps such as primary sedimentation separation, ozone-enhanced premixing, ozone-enhanced flotation, multi-stage vortex deep filtration, and ceramic membrane fine filtration, it selectively removes suspended solids, emulsified oil, and other pollutants from the produced water according to its specific quality. Simultaneously, it achieves resource utilization of floating oil and compliant effluent.

[0014] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, this invention provides a modular control method for oilfield produced water, used to control the opening and closing of valves and pumps in the aforementioned modular oilfield produced water treatment system, thereby enabling pipeline reconfiguration. The method specifically includes the following steps:
[0015] S1. Detect the oil content and suspended solids content of the extracted water, and adjust the opening and closing of valves and pumps accordingly;
[0016] Scenario 1: When oil content > 1000 mg / L and suspended solids content > 500 mg / L:
[0017] The opening and closing of valves and pumps are controlled to achieve the first form of pipeline reconstruction, so that the primary sedimentation module, premixing module, air flotation treatment module, deep filtration module, and fine filtration module are connected in series; the dosing system is activated, and the pretreatment agent dosing device adds demulsifier;
[0018] Scenario 2: When oil content < 200 mg / L and suspended solids content < 200 mg / L:
[0019] The second form of pipeline reconfiguration is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of valves and pumps, so that the primary sedimentation module, air flotation treatment module, and deep filtration module are connected in series, and the first-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filter and the second-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filter in the deep filtration module are operated in parallel; the pretreatment agent dosing device, membrane acid washing dosing device, and membrane alkali washing dosing device are not activated, while the PAC dosing device and PAM dosing device are activated.
[0020] Scenario 3: When the oil concentration is 200–1000 mg / L and the suspended solids content is 200–500 mg / L:
[0021] The opening and closing of valves and pumps are controlled to achieve the third form of pipeline reconfiguration, forming a primary sedimentation module, a premixing module, an air flotation treatment module, and a deep filtration module connected in series. The first-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filter and the second-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filter in the deep filtration module are connected in parallel.

[0022] S2. Detect the sulfur and iron ion content in the extracted water;
[0023] When the sulfide ion concentration is >25 mg / L or the iron ion concentration is >20 mg / L, sodium hypochlorite is added to the pretreatment agent dosing device.
[0024] Due to the above structure, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0025] 1. This device, through its modular design, achieves multi-stage synergistic treatment via primary sedimentation, premixing, flotation, deep filtration, and fine filtration modules. This results in significant removal of fine suspended solids and emulsified oil, with the effluent consistently meeting the reinjection requirements of different oilfield formations, thus avoiding clogging issues in subsequent filtration stages. Furthermore, by controlling the opening and closing of valves and pumps, modules can be flexibly added or removed, and treatment steps switched, based on influent water quality and effluent standards. This allows for process reconfiguration, adapting to different types of produced water treatment needs, such as high emulsification and high oil content, low oil content and low suspended solids, and high sulfur and high iron ion concentrations, thus solving the problem of fixed processes in traditional methods.
[0026] 2. The ozone generator is connected to multiple modules through pipelines, thereby applying ozone to enhanced premixing treatment, enhanced air flotation separation, and ceramic membrane fine filtration. Utilizing the oxidation, demulsification, and sterilization effects of ozone, it enhances processes such as pre-oxidation, air flotation, and membrane backwashing, significantly reducing the dosage of demulsifiers, bactericides, coagulants, coagulant aids, and membrane backwashing agents. This reduces the amount of chemical sludge generated, lowers reagent costs and sludge disposal pressure, while simultaneously improving filtration time and the lifespan of the ceramic membrane.
[0027] 3. The dosing module includes a pretreatment agent dosing device, a PAC dosing device, a PAM dosing device, a membrane acid washing dosing device, and a membrane alkali washing dosing device. The type of pretreatment agent can be selected according to the water quality characteristics of the oilfield produced water, and the agents are added as needed at each stage. This solves the problem of fixed agent dosing in traditional methods, realizes precise agent dosing, and further reduces treatment costs.
[0028] 4. This device realizes multi-stage rotary bed filtration series / parallel switching for deep filtration, adjusts filtration accuracy and treatment capacity according to water quality, and is equipped with an overpass pipe to ensure system operation, facilitates inspection and maintenance, and has a unified oil recovery and sludge treatment procedure, which centrally recovers floating oil in each stage, and the qualified effluent is directly reinjected into the formation.

When the membrane permeate valve 132 and membrane permeate pump 206, membrane backwash pump 207 and membrane backwash valve 133 are stopped, permeate water is discharged from the ceramic flat sheet membrane module 15 into the storage tank module 19. During membrane backwashing, the membrane backwash valve 133 and membrane backwash pump 207 are started, the membrane permeate pump 206 and membrane permeate valve 132 are closed, and water flows from the storage tank module 19 to the ceramic flat sheet membrane module 15. Permeate water and backwashing do not run simultaneously. The aeration blower 14 is connected to the aeration duct in the ceramic flat sheet membrane module 15 through a pipeline.
[0052] The dosing module 20 includes a pretreatment agent dosing device 21, a PAC dosing device 22, a PAM dosing device 23, a membrane acid washing dosing device 24, and a membrane alkali washing dosing device 25. Each dosing module 20 includes a metering dosing pump, a mixer, and a dosing tank.
[0053] The pretreatment agent dosing device 21 is connected to the third inlet of the mixer 5 in the premixing module 3 via a pipeline. The pretreatment agent in the pretreatment agent dosing device 21 includes demulsifiers, oxidants, or bactericides, selected according to the characteristics of the produced water quality in the oilfield. If the produced water inlet is highly emulsified and has a high oil content, a demulsifier is selected. If the produced water inlet contains a large number of bacteria, a bactericide is selected to control sulfate-reducing bacteria, saprophytic bacteria, and iron bacteria. If the produced water contains a large amount of sulfur and iron ions, an oxidant is selected to avoid the formation of hydrogen sulfide and iron precipitates. This not only oxidizes and enhances the premixing effect but also sterilizes and controls sulfate-reducing bacteria and iron bacteria.
[0054] The PAC dosing device 22 and PAM dosing device 23 are connected to the dosing port of the air flotation device 8 in the air flotation treatment module 6 via pipelines, and are used for dosing the air flotation device 8.

The preferred alkaline washing agent is sodium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite + sodium hydroxide or persulfate and sodium hydroxide. The preferred acid washing agent is citric acid or citric acid + hydrochloric acid.
[0056] This invention also includes a modular control method for oilfield produced water, which utilizes the control of the opening and closing of valves and pumps in a modular oilfield produced water treatment system to achieve pipeline reconfiguration, specifically including the following steps:

[0058] Scenario 1: When the oil content of the influent is >1000 mg / L and the suspended solids content is >500 mg / L:
[0059] Specifically, it is for the treatment of produced water from oilfields with highly emulsified, high-oil-content, and high-suspended-solids influent;
[0060] At this point, the first type of pipeline reconstruction is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of valves and pumps, so that the primary sedimentation module 1, premixing module 3, air flotation treatment module 6, depth filtration module 10, and fine filtration module 13 are connected in series; the dosing system is activated, in which the pretreatment agent dosing device 21 adds demulsifier;

[0064] Specifically, it is for the treatment of produced water from oilfields with low oil content and low suspended solids as the influent.
[0065] At this time, controlling the opening and closing of valves and pumps realizes the second form of pipeline reconstruction, so that the primary sedimentation module 1, the air flotation treatment module 6, and the depth filtration module 10 are connected in series, and the first-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filter 11 and the second-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filter 12 in the depth filtration module 10 are operated in parallel; the pretreatment agent dosing device 21, the membrane acid washing dosing device 24, and the membrane alkali washing dosing device 25 are not activated, while the PAC dosing device 22 and the PAM dosing device 23 are activated.

[0069] Scenario 3: When the oil content of the influent is 200–1000 mg / L and the suspended solids content is 200–500 mg / L:
[0070] This refers to the treatment of produced water from oilfields with conventional water quality as the influent.
[0071] At this point, controlling the opening and closing of valves and pumps achieves the third form of pipeline reconfiguration, forming a series connection of primary sedimentation module 1, premixing module 3, air flotation treatment module 6, and depth filtration module 10. The first-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filter 11 and the second-stage high-efficiency rotary bed filter 12 in the depth filtration module 10 operate in parallel.

[0074] S2. Detect the sulfur and iron ion content in the extracted water;
[0075] When the sulfur ion concentration is greater than 25 mg / L or the iron ion concentration is greater than 20 mg / L, sodium hypochlorite is added to the pretreatment agent dosing device. Sodium hypochlorite can be used as both an oxidant and a bactericide.
[0076] Specifically: the sludge pump 201, the first filter inlet pump 202, the second filter inlet pump 203, the first backwash inlet pump 204, the second backwash inlet pump 205, the membrane permeate pump 206, and the membrane backwash pump 207 are started in a coordinated manner;

The third through pipe 103 is also deactivated.
[0082] In case three of step S1 above, if the effluent requires an oil content of ≤2mg / L and a suspended solids content of ≤2mg / L, then the membrane tank inlet valve 123 is opened to add the fine filtration module 13 to the treatment process.
[0083] Example 1:
[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, the produced water from a certain oilfield has an oil content of 2500 mg / L, suspended solids of 800 mg / L, a high proportion of emulsified oil, high bacterial content, and no high sulfur / iron ion content. According to the method described in Case 1, the valves and pumps are adjusted to control the primary sedimentation module, premixing module, air flotation module, deep filtration module, and fine filtration module to be connected in series.
[0085] (1) Primary sedimentation module for primary sedimentation separation: the oilfield produced water is subjected to gravity sedimentation for primary sedimentation separation, with a residence time of 2.0h, to remove most of the free oil and large particles of mud and sand. The floating oil enters the oil recovery device for recycling, and the primary sedimentation sludge is discharged into the sludge treatment device for sludge treatment.
[0086] (2) Ozone-enhanced premixing: 50 mg / L of demulsifier, 120 mg / L of bactericide and 40 mg / L of ozone, which have been screened and confirmed by bottle test, are added to the effluent of the primary sedimentation module through the dosing device and the ozone generator respectively, and are thoroughly mixed. The demulsifier and ozone are used to destroy the stable structure of the emulsified oil to achieve ozone-enhanced premixing demulsification, while the bactericide and ozone are used to kill bacteria in the water.
[0087] (3) Ozone-enhanced flotation in the flotation treatment module: PAC 100mg / L and PAM 3mg / L are added to the flotation treatment module through the dosing device. Ozone microbubbles are generated by the ozone generator through the nano-ceramic aeration plate. The ozone concentration is 50mg / L and the flotation residence time is 30min. Ozone-enhanced flotation separation is achieved to remove suspended solids, emulsified oil, COD and other pollutants from the produced water. The floating oil and scum are discharged into the oil recovery device for oil recovery and utilization, and the flotation sludge is discharged into the sludge treatment device for sludge treatment.
[0088] (4) Deep filtration module performs multi-stage vortex bed deep filtration: The first-stage high-efficiency vortex bed filter with cross-flow water inlet design and the second-stage high-efficiency vortex bed filter are used for series filtration. The filter media particle sizes are 2~4mm, 0.8~2mm, 0.4~0.8mm and 0.2~0.4mm respectively. The filtration operation pressure difference is set to 0.9bar. When the set value is reached, backwashing begins and lasts for 15 minutes to remove suspended solids and oily pollutants from the water. The deep filtration effluent is divided into two paths. One path enters the ceramic flat sheet membrane system of the fine filtration module, and the other path is used as backwash water for the deep filtration module for recycling. If the activated filter media is severely contaminated, ozone is introduced into the backwash pipe for ozone-enhanced backwashing. The ozone dosage concentration is 2mg / L.
[0089] (5) Fine filtration module performs ceramic membrane fine filtration: membrane pore size 0.1μm, membrane design flux 40LMH, continuous aeration and gas washing, backwash ozone concentration 3mg / L, ozone addition frequency 1 time / h, water washing is carried out simultaneously, backwash time 2min, ceramic membrane chemical washing is prepared for use, of which alkaline washing is sodium hypochlorite 1500mg / L + NaOH 2000mg / L; acid washing is citric acid 15000mg / L.
[0090] After treatment by a multi-stage series process, the effluent suspended solids concentration is <1mg / L, oil content concentration is <1mg / L, and bacterial content is <100CFU / mL. All indicators are superior to the reinjection standard for ultra-low permeability formations.
[0091] Example 2:
[0092] The produced water from a certain oilfield has an oil content of 100 mg / L, suspended solids of 180 mg / L, and a low proportion of emulsified oil. According to the second scenario of this method, the valves and pumps are adjusted to open and close. After the valves and pumps are controlled, the process of this device is adjusted to be: primary sedimentation separation → ozone-enhanced flotation → multi-stage vortex bed parallel deep filtration → effluent reinjection, with ceramic membrane fine filtration as a backup unit.
[0093] (1) Primary sedimentation module for primary sedimentation separation: the oilfield produced water is subjected to gravity sedimentation for primary sedimentation separation, with a residence time of 2.0h, to remove most of the free oil and large particles of mud and sand.

[0094] (2) Ozone-enhanced flotation in the flotation treatment module: PAC 30mg / L and PAM 1.5mg / L are added to the flotation treatment module through the dosing device. Ozone microbubbles are generated by the ozone generator through the nano-ceramic plate. The ozone concentration is 20mg / L and the flotation residence time is 20min to achieve ozone-enhanced flotation separation, remove suspended solids, emulsified oil, COD and other pollutants from the produced water. The floating oil and scum are discharged into the oil recovery device for oil recovery and utilization, and the flotation sludge is discharged into the sludge treatment device for sludge treatment.
[0095] (3) Deep filtration module performs vortex deep filtration: a first-stage high-efficiency vortex filter with cross-flow inlet design and a second-stage high-efficiency vortex filter are used for parallel filtration. The filter media particle sizes are 2~4mm, 0.8~2mm, 0.4~0.8mm and 0.2~0.4mm respectively. The filtration operating pressure difference is set to 0.9bar. When the set value is reached, backwashing begins and lasts for 10 minutes to efficiently remove suspended solids and oily pollutants from the water. The deep filtration effluent is divided into two paths. One path enters the ceramic flat sheet membrane system, and the other path is used as backwash water for the deep filtration module for recycling. If the activated filter media is severely contaminated, ozone is introduced into the backwash pipe for ozone-enhanced backwashing. The ozone dosage concentration is 1mg / L.
[0096] After treatment, the concentration of suspended solids in the effluent is <5 mg / L, and the concentration of oil content is <5 mg / L, meeting the standards for conventional formation reinjection.
[0097] Example 3:
[0098] The produced water from a certain oilfield has an oil content of 800 mg / L, suspended solids of 400 mg / L, S2- concentration of 30 mg / L, and Fe2+ concentration of 25 mg / L. Following the method described in section three, the valves and pumps are adjusted to open and close. After controlling the valves and pumps, the process flow of this unit is adjusted as follows: primary sedimentation separation → ozone-enhanced premixing → ozone-enhanced flotation → multi-stage parallel rotary bed deep filtration → ceramic membrane fine filtration → effluent reinjection.
[0099] (1) Primary sedimentation module for primary sedimentation separation: the oilfield produced water is subjected to gravity sedimentation for primary sedimentation separation, with a residence time of 2.0h, to remove most of the free oil and large particles of mud and sand.

The demulsifier and ozone are used to destroy the stable structure of the emulsified oil to achieve ozone-enhanced premixing demulsification. At the same time, the oxidant and ozone are used to achieve the oxidation and removal of S2- and Fe2+.
[0101] (3) Ozone-enhanced flotation in the flotation treatment module: PAC 50mg / L and PAM 2.5mg / L are added to the flotation treatment module through the dosing device. Ozone microbubbles are generated by the ozone generator through the nano-ceramic aeration plate. The ozone concentration is 40mg / L and the flotation residence time is 25min. Ozone-enhanced flotation separation is achieved to remove suspended solids, emulsified oil, COD and other pollutants from the produced water. The floating oil and scum are discharged into the oil recovery device for oil recovery and utilization, and the flotation sludge is discharged into the sludge treatment device for sludge treatment.
[0102] (4) Deep filtration module performs multi-stage vortex bed parallel deep filtration: The first-stage high-efficiency vortex bed filter with cross-flow water inlet design and the second-stage high-efficiency vortex bed filter are used for parallel filtration. The filter media particle sizes are 2~4mm, 0.8~2mm, 0.4~0.8mm and 0.2~0.4mm respectively. The filtration operation pressure difference is set to 0.9bar.

The deep filtration effluent is divided into two paths. One path enters the ceramic flat sheet membrane system, and the other path is used as backwash water for the deep filtration module for recycling. If the activated filter media is severely contaminated, ozone is introduced into the backwash pipe for ozone-enhanced backwashing. The ozone dosage concentration is 2mg / L.
