DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the technical means, technical features, utility model objectives and technical effects achieved by the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further explained below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a multi-stage cavitation jet self-circulating flotation treatment device comprises a tank body 1, two partitions 2 are welded in the inner cavity of the tank body 1, and the inner cavity of the tank body 1 is divided into three areas by the two partitions 2. The three areas are respectively an oil floating chamber 3, an air flotation chamber 4 and a clean water chamber 5 arranged in sequence. The air flotation chamber 4 is used for flotation treatment of produced water. A produced water inlet pipe 12 connected to the inside of the air flotation chamber 4 is installed on the tank body 1, and produced water to be treated is injected into the tank body 1 through the produced water inlet pipe 12. A plurality of ejectors 6 and releasers 7 are installed in the air flotation chamber 4, and the ejectors 6 and releasers 7 are connected one by one. An ejector water inlet pipe 8 and an ejector air inlet pipe 9 adapted to the plurality of ejectors 6 are installed on the tank body 1, and the ejector water inlet pipe 8 and the ejector air inlet pipe 9 are connected in series. The ejector 6 is connected in parallel and connected to the outlet end of the centrifugal pump 10 through a pipeline. The centrifugal pump 10 provides pressurized water flow to the ejector 6, so that the suction chamber of the ejector 6 forms a negative pressure. The ejector air inlet pipe 9 is also connected in parallel and connected to the natural gas outlet 11 installed on the tank body 1 through a pipeline. The natural gas outlet 11 is connected to the inside of the tank body 1. The suction chamber of the ejector 6 generates a negative pressure under the action of the high-speed water flow. The natural gas of the tank body 1 is absorbed through the ejector air inlet pipe 9 and the natural gas outlet 11, so that a gas-water mixture is formed in the ejector 6, and the natural gas in the tank body 1 is repeatedly recycled. The gas-water mixture formed by the ejector 6 is released into the flotation chamber 4 after being depressurized by the releaser 7, and the produced water in the flotation chamber 4 is subjected to flotation treatment.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, a purified produced water pipe 15 is installed on the tank body 1, and the purified produced water pipe 15 is connected to the clean water chamber 5 of the tank body 1. The produced water after flotation treatment enters the clean water chamber 5 and is discharged to the designated external position through the purified produced water pipe 15. A circulation pipe 16 is connected to the purified produced water pipe 15, and the circulation pipe 16 is connected to the inlet end of the centrifugal pump 10. The centrifugal pump 10 extracts the produced water after flotation treatment from the clean water chamber 5 through the purified produced water pipe 15 and the circulation pipe 16 as flotation water, thereby realizing the recycling of produced water, saving resources and saving costs.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a gas phase pipe 14 is installed on the tank body 1, and the gas phase pipe 14 is connected to the inside of the tank body 1. The gas phase pipe 14 is used to connect an external oil and gas separation device (not shown in the figure). The natural gas separated by the oil and gas separation device is introduced into the tank body 1 through the gas phase pipe 14 to meet the gas consumption required for flotation, supplement the gas consumption of flotation, and maintain the pressure balance in the tank body 1. The oil and gas separation device does not belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model, and its specific structure will not be repeated here.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an oil floating pipe 13 is connected to the tank body 1, and the oil floating pipe 13 is connected to the interior of the oil floating chamber 3. The floating oil generated after the flotation treatment is collected by the oil collecting tank (not shown in the figure) and enters the oil floating chamber 3, and is discharged to the outside into the waste oil pool through the oil floating pipe 13 for unified treatment.

[0030] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0031] When in use, the gas phase pipe 14 is connected to the oil and gas separation equipment, and natural gas is introduced into the tank body 1 to provide a gas source for the flotation of produced water and maintain the pressure balance in the tank body 1, thereby avoiding waste of resources. The floating oil pipe 13 is connected to the waste oil pool, and the untreated produced water enters the flotation chamber 4 of the tank body 1 through the produced water inlet pipe 12. The centrifugal pump 10 is started, and the centrifugal pump 10 draws the treated produced water from the clean water chamber 5 through the purified produced water pipe 15 and the circulation pipe 16. After being pressurized by the centrifugal pump 10 and distributed through the manifold, the pressurized water flows through the ejector inlet pipe 8 into the corresponding ejector 6. The suction chamber of the ejector 6 forms a negative pressure under the action of the high-speed water flow. The natural gas in the tank body 1 is sucked out from the natural gas outlet 11 under the action of the negative pressure and is distributed to the ejector. It is injected into the air pipe 9 and enters the corresponding ejector 6 for sufficient gas-water mixing. Energy is exchanged in the throat section of the ejector 6. The gas is crushed into tiny bubbles and enters the diffusion section of the ejector 6 to further compress the bubbles and increase the solubility of the gas in water. The dissolved gas liquid at the outlet of the ejector 6 is released by the releaser 7 to generate a large number of micron-sized bubbles. The impurities such as emulsion and tiny suspended particles in the produced water adhere to the bubbles and float to the water surface with the bubbles. They are collected by the oil collecting tank and enter the floating oil chamber 3. The produced water after flotation treatment enters the clean water chamber 5 and is transported outward through the purified produced water pipe 15. A part of the produced water enters the centrifugal pump 10 through the circulation pipe 16 and participates in the flotation treatment after being pressurized by the centrifugal pump 10 to realize the recycling of the produced water.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the content of the patent application scope of the utility model should belong to the technical scope of the utility model.
