Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular relates to a steam boiler water treatment system applied to various water sources. Background Art

[0002] With the development of economy, the demand for oil and gas resources in modern industry and life is gradually increasing. The effective development of oil and gas resources can play a strong role in protecting the national economy and life. As the progress of oil extraction gradually advances, the oil and gas resources that are easier to extract, such as light oil, are gradually decreasing, and the extraction of heavy oil and heavy oil has gradually come into people's view. The characteristics of heavy oil are high density, high viscosity and high freezing point, which increase the difficulty of its extraction. Efficient extraction of heavy oil is one of the problems people face.

[0003] Steam huff and puff technology or steam flooding technology are the two main technologies for thermal recovery of heavy oil. Both require the injection of high-temperature and high-pressure steam into the formation to increase the temperature of the formation crude oil, reduce the viscosity of the crude oil, and increase the fluidity of the crude oil. Steam has relatively strict requirements on the quality of the water source. Due to its special nature, offshore platforms are short of fresh water resources and can only use seawater or well water as the water source.

[0004] Seawater and well water each have their own unique characteristics: seawater resources are abundant, but it is very difficult to process; the treatment process of well water is simple, but it also has the risk of containing oil.

[0046] The inorganic ultrafiltration membrane unit 4 is used to remove small suspended particles and colloids in the water source, meet the water quality index of NTU<1, and enter the reverse osmosis device of the water quality treatment mechanism after reaching the reverse osmosis membrane inlet index.

[0047] The water treatment mechanism is a combination of a reverse osmosis unit and an electrodialysis device or a combination of a reverse osmosis unit and a sodium ion exchanger:

[0048] When the water source is seawater, the water quality treatment mechanism includes a primary seawater reverse osmosis unit 5, a secondary seawater reverse osmosis unit 6, a tertiary seawater reverse osmosis unit 7 and an EDI device 8 connected in sequence according to the direction of water flow; the primary seawater reverse osmosis unit 5, the secondary seawater reverse osmosis unit 6 and the tertiary seawater reverse osmosis unit 7 are combined to remove most of the Na in the seawater. + The concentrated water of the primary seawater reverse osmosis unit 5 is directly discharged into the sea, the concentrated water outlet of the secondary seawater reverse osmosis unit 6 is connected to the inorganic ultrafiltration membrane unit 4, and the concentrated water outlet of the tertiary seawater reverse osmosis unit 7 is connected to the primary seawater reverse osmosis unit 5; the EDI device 8 is used to effectively remove various inorganic salts in the seawater, and the use of an electrodialysis device can further reduce the salt content in the water, which can further ensure the operation of the thermal recovery boiler;
