Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil and gas well production separation, and particularly relates to a secondary oil-water separation device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of some oil and gas wells, the produced oil, gas and water mixture is separated into gas and liquid by the separator, and the liquid phase is discharged to the crude oil tank for oil-water separation. The crude oil has a low density and is located on the upper layer of the sewage. After oil-water separation, the sewage at the bottom of the crude oil tank is discharged to the sewage collection pool and then transported to the sewage tank by a pump.

[0003] At present, most crude oil storage tanks use natural sedimentation to achieve oil-water stratification, and the crude oil tanks are drained manually. During the drainage process, the on-duty personnel stop discharging sewage when they find that crude oil is discharged into the sewage pool. This causes part of the crude oil to be discharged into the collection pool, making it difficult to recover the crude oil and increasing the processing cost. The accumulation of crude oil in the sewage pool increases the difficulty and cost of sewage treatment. At the same time, crude oil is flammable and explosive, and there are safety risks such as fire and explosion when exposed in the sewage pool. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a secondary oil-water separation device to address the technical defect in the prior art that a certain amount of crude oil will enter the sewage pool along with the sewage during the sewage discharge from the crude oil tank, resulting in difficulty in sewage treatment in the sewage pool.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] The utility model aims at the technical defects in the prior art that the sewage entering the sewage pool from the crude oil storage tank contains a large amount of crude oil, and the crude oil is difficult to recover from the sewage. A secondary oil-water separation device is proposed. The device is arranged between the crude oil storage tank and the sewage tank, and is used to perform secondary separation on the oil-water mixture initially separated in the crude oil storage tank. The sewage and crude oil are further separated by the secondary oil-water separation device, thereby greatly reducing the crude oil content in the sewage entering the sewage tank from the sewage pipe, and the crude oil can be recovered to the crude oil storage tank to the greatest extent. After multiple cycles, the crude oil in the crude oil storage tank has a high purity, which further guarantees the quality of the crude oil in the crude oil storage tank. The device reduces the difficulty of sewage treatment without increasing the cost of crude oil treatment.

[0008] In the technical solution of the utility model, the secondary oil-water separation device is used to perform secondary natural sedimentation of the oil-water mixture, and the oil-water separation interface in the secondary oil-water separation device is determined by a liquid level meter, and the oil-water interface can be observed in real time during the process of discharging sewage from the sewage pipe. The sewage pipe is closed in time.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the separation tank is a cylindrical tank with a volume of 1m 3 -3m 3 .

In this process, in order to efficiently and fully discharge the crude oil back to the crude oil storage tank, the third valve is opened, and the fuel gas is supplemented through the fuel gas pipeline to increase the pressure of the secondary oil-water separator. After the crude oil in the secondary oil-water separator is discharged, the third valve is closed, and the third valve is closed when the pressure gauge pressure drops to 0Mpa to complete the secondary oil-water separation.

[0015] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a pressure gauge is provided on the top of the separation tank.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the liquid inlet pipe passes through the side wall of the separation tank body from the outside to the inside of the side wall.
