[0002] As my country's land oil resources continue to decrease, offshore oil development will become a focus. Offshore oil production will produce a large amount of oily wastewater, and failure to treat it will cause serious environmental pollution. As offshore oil production continues, the water content in the produced fluid continues to rise, which puts higher demands on oily wastewater treatment technology. Therefore, the development of advanced and reliable oily wastewater treatment technology can not only effectively solve the production problems of large produced fluid output and poor conventional process effects, but also ensure the smooth development of offshore oil production and maintain the health and safety of the marine environment.

This technology was studied earlier abroad and is relatively mature. It has formed multiple generations of serial products. It can only be understood from the description of product structure and field performance test, and less disclosure of relevant technical details and optimization aspects.

The outlet of the dissolved air water inlet pipe is provided with a jet pipe 8, and the jet pipe 8 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cone 4. The outlet of the dissolved air inlet pipe water is tangentially liquid-inlet;

[0033] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the centrifugal coalescence chamber 9 includes an overflow pipe 13, a main body 14 and a tail pipe 15 which are sequentially connected from top to bottom. An inner spinal tube 18 is sleeved in the tail pipe 15.

[0034] The overflow pipe 13 has an overflow flange 19 formed at the top and a connecting threaded body formed at the bottom, and the overflow pipe 13 and the main body 14 are threadedly connected through the threaded body;

[0035] The main body 14 is a cylindrical structure with an open bottom. A threaded hole is formed in the middle of the top surface of the main body 14, which is threadedly connected to the connecting threaded body of the overflow pipe 13. The outer wall of the bottom end of the main body 14 forms a connecting flange. A mounting plate is formed inside the main body 14, a through hole is formed in the middle of the mounting plate, and a spiral channel 20 is arranged on the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The side wall of the main body 14 forms a coalescing chamber inlet 17, which is connected to the water inlet pipeline.

[0036] The spiral channel 20 includes a connecting tube and a threaded tube, and the connecting column is inserted into the through hole of the mounting plate of the main body 14;

[0037] The tail pipe 15 has a connection flange at the top and a bottom flow port flange 16 at the bottom. The connection flange of the tail pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the connection flange at the bottom of the main body 14.

[0038] The inner spinal tube 18 includes a connecting column, a transition column and a tapered column connected once; the connecting column is inserted into the threaded tube of the spiral channel 20, and the two are welded and fixed; the tapered column gradually decreases in diameter from the top to the bottom;

[0039] The influent first enters the spiral channel of the main part of the centrifugal coalescing chamber, where the influent rotates downward, and the waste oil separated by centrifugation is discharged from the overflow pipe; the condensed oil after coalescence is discharged from the overflow port, and the initially separated sewage is discharged from the tail flow port of the bottom pipe;

[0040] The tail pipe 15 of the centrifugal coalescing chamber 9 is inserted into the inner cone 4;

[0041] The inner cone 4 is fixed to the inner wall of the cylinder 1 through a bracket 5. The inner cone 4 is a hollow frustum structure with a diameter gradually decreasing from top to bottom and open at both ends.

[0042] The cylinder 1, the centrifugal coalescing chamber 9 and the inner cone 4 are coaxially arranged.

[0043] A sewage outlet 11 is arranged at the lowest point of the bottom surface of the cylinder 1 for discharging sludge.

[0044] A plurality of legs 3 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the cylinder 1 .

[0045] The dirty oil chamber 12 is a cylindrical chamber with an open upper end, which is used to collect the dirty oil residue on the surface;

[0046] A liquid level gauge is arranged in the dirty oil chamber 12, and the dirty oil can be automatically discharged according to the change of the liquid level.

[0047] The cylinder 1 is provided with a mud discharge area, a dissolved gas release area (inner cone), a sedimentation area (reaction separation area), a centrifugal agglomeration area (water pretreatment section) and a sewage discharge area (dirty oil collection chamber) from bottom to top.

[0048] The working principle of this utility model:

[0049] The oily wastewater enters the pretreatment section of the cylinder 1 from the water inlet 7 and enters through the inlet of the centrifugal coalescing chamber 9 installed in the pretreatment section. Under the action of centrifugal force, the oil-water two phases evenly distributed in the cyclonic field migrate toward the axis of the light oil. Due to the speed difference of the oil droplets in the radial, tangential and axial directions, the oil droplets collide, which provides the possibility for the coalescence of small oil droplets. The lighter oil phase overflows from the overflow pipe at the top of the coalescer, enters the dirty oil chamber and is discharged through the oil discharge pipe of the oil collection chamber; the sewage discharged from the centrifugal coalescing bottom pipe is mixed with the water-soluble gas released by the inner cone, and the jet tube in the inner cone will swirl the mixed fluid. The microbubbles collide and attach with the floating oil scum and then separate. The floating oil scum is collected and discharged through the oil collection chamber at the upper part of the cylinder, and the treated sewage is discharged from the drainage pipe at the lower middle of the cylinder, and the sediment is discharged from the sewage pipe at the bottom of the cylinder.

[0050] In order to meet the requirements of offshore platform use, the cylinder needs to be fully sealed and operated under pressure. First, the platform covering gas enters the cylinder to ensure the lowest operating pressure of the cylinder, and the cylinder pressure is adjusted through the cylinder pressure sensor; the dissolved gas source comes from the covering gas in the cylinder, and the excess gas in the dissolved gas tank returns to the cylinder; the cylinder is equipped with a liquid level gauge, and water inlet is stopped when the liquid level is higher than the upper limit, and water outlet is stopped when it is lower than the lower limit; the dirty oil chamber is equipped with a liquid level gauge, and sewage is discharged at a high liquid level, and the oil discharge valve is closed at a low liquid level.
