Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inclined pipe water distribution for oil fields, in particular to a stably operated inclined pipe water distribution system. Background Art
[0002] The inclined tube water separator is an important equipment in the field of water separation technology for oil fields. It uses the inclined tube structure and the difference in oil-water density to separate oil and water in the inclined tube, playing a key role in the treatment of oilfield produced fluid.
[0003] There are many problems with the existing inclined tube water separation device. In terms of liquid inlet, the liquid inlet is unstable and fluctuates greatly, which makes the water separation system unable to operate under stable working conditions. The instability of the liquid inlet interferes with the separation process of oil and water in the inclined tube, affecting the separation effect. The treated liquid contains a large number of large particle impurities and cannot meet the requirements of the subsequent production process of the oil field for the quality of the produced liquid. In terms of treatment effect, the existing device is greatly affected by temperature. When the temperature of the produced liquid changes, the physical properties of the oil and water, such as density and viscosity, will also change, which will affect the oil-water separation efficiency and reduce the overall treatment effect. It not only increases the treatment cost, but also reduces the production efficiency, which is not conducive to the efficient and stable production of the oil field. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a stably operating inclined tube water distribution system, which is connected to the liquid phase inlet pipeline by setting a tapered tube, and then connected to the pressure-stabilizing tank through a backwash filter. The pressure-stabilizing tank can effectively stabilize the liquid inlet pressure, reduce liquid inlet fluctuations, and provide a stable working condition for the subsequent oil-water separation in the inclined tube, greatly improving the separation effect and reducing the content of large particle impurities in the treated liquid.
[0005] The utility model is realized by adopting the following technical solutions:
[0006] The stably operating inclined tube water distribution system comprises an inclined tube and a tapered tube, wherein the tapered tube is connected to a liquid phase inlet pipeline, the tapered tube is connected to a pressure stabilizing tank via a backwash filter, the pressure stabilizing tank is connected to the inclined tube via a distributor, an inclined tube jacket is provided on the outside of the inclined tube, an air flotation plate is provided inside the inclined tube, an oil outlet, a water outlet and an impurity outlet are sequentially provided below the inclined tube, the oil outlet is located on a side close to the distributor, and the air flotation plate is located between the water outlet and the impurity outlet.
[0007] The inclined tube is tilted to increase the surface area of oil-water separation, and use gravity and buoyancy to separate oil and water droplets more efficiently in the inclined tube. An air flotation plate is set inside the inclined tube to enhance the floating separation effect of impurities and oil droplets; an inclined tube jacket is set on the outside to maintain a suitable temperature by passing steam to reduce the impact of temperature on the separation effect. The tapered tube is connected to the liquid phase inlet pipeline to make a preliminary pressure adjustment on the incoming liquid, so that the liquid can flow more stably in the subsequent process, providing a good prerequisite for the pressure-stabilizing tank to stabilize the inlet pressure.
[0008] A bracket is arranged below the inclined tube, an ultrasonic device is arranged between the inclined tube and the distributor, and the connection between the ultrasonic device and the inclined tube is located at the upper end of the inclined tube.
[0009] It also includes a heat exchange tank, which is provided with a heat exchange tank coil inside. One end of the heat exchange tank coil is connected to the blower, and the other end is connected to the air flotation plate. The air flotation plate is located between the water outlet and the impurity outlet in the inclined tube. It is connected to the blower and the heat exchange tank coil to release tiny bubbles, promote the floating separation of impurities and oil droplets, and improve the impurity removal capacity.
[0010] The inclined tube jacket is connected to a steam inlet pipe, the connection between the steam inlet pipe and the inclined tube jacket is located on the side close to the oil outlet, the inclined tube jacket is connected to the heat exchange tank through a condensate pipe, and the connection between the condensate pipe and the inclined tube jacket is located on the side close to the impurity outlet.
[0011] The water outlet is connected to a delivery pump through a pipeline, and the delivery pump is connected to a backwash filter through a backwash pipeline, and a wastewater recovery pipeline is connected to the backwash pipeline. The backwash filter can filter out large particles of impurities in the liquid, prevent impurities from entering subsequent equipment, ensure the normal operation of the equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment. At the same time, through the backwash pipeline connected to the delivery pump, self-backwashing can be achieved to reduce maintenance costs.
[0012] The inclined tube is provided with a de-impurity water inlet, the backwashing pipeline is connected with the de-impurity water inlet through the de-impurity pipeline, and the oil outlet is connected with an oil outlet pipeline.
[0013] The working principle of the utility model is:
[0014] Liquid inlet stage: The liquid phase enters the pipeline from the liquid phase and flows into the reducer, which makes a preliminary pressure adjustment on the liquid. Subsequently, the liquid passes through the backwash filter to filter out large particles of impurities to prevent them from entering the subsequent equipment and affecting the operation. The filtered liquid enters the pressure-regulating tank, which stabilizes the liquid pressure and keeps the liquid inlet pressure at 0.5-1.5MPa to ensure the stability of the subsequent separation process. At the same time, the ultrasonic device is turned on and the power is set to 100-500W. The ultrasonic wave acts on the liquid to destroy the emulsified structure and accelerate the separation of oil and water.
[0015] Separation stage: Liquid enters the inclined tube evenly through the distributor. In the inclined tube, the density difference between oil and water is used for preliminary separation. The oil phase flows upward to the oil outlet for discharge, and the water phase and impurities flow downward. The air flotation plate starts to work, and the blower transports air to the air flotation plate through the heat exchange tank coil. After the air is heated to 30-50°C in the heat exchange tank, the air flotation plate releases tiny bubbles, which attach to impurities and oil droplets to promote their floating and separation. Steam is introduced into the inclined tube jacket, and the steam pressure is maintained at 0.2-0.5MPa to ensure that the temperature in the inclined tube is within an appropriate range (between 35-45°C) to reduce the influence of temperature on the separation effect.
[0016] Discharge stage: The separated oil is discharged from the oil outlet through the oil outlet pipe, and the water is discharged from the water outlet through the delivery pump. The delivery pump delivers part of the water to the backwash filter through the backwash pipe to backwash the filter. The wastewater generated by backwashing is recycled through the wastewater recovery pipe. Impurities are discharged regularly from the impurity outlet. If there are residual impurities in the inclined tube, the impurity removal water can be introduced through the impurity removal water inlet, and the impurity removal water enters the inclined tube through the impurity removal pipe for flushing to ensure the normal operation of the inclined tube.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0018] (1) By setting a tapered pipe connected to the liquid phase inlet pipeline and then connecting it to the pressure-surge tank through the backwash filter, the pressure-surge tank can effectively stabilize the inlet pressure and reduce the inlet fluctuation, thus providing a stable working condition for the subsequent oil-water separation in the inclined tube, greatly improving the separation effect and reducing the content of large particle impurities in the treated liquid.
[0019] (2) An air flotation plate is installed inside the inclined tube to generate tiny bubbles. These bubbles can attach to impurities and oil droplets, and use the buoyancy of the bubbles to promote the floating and separation of impurities and oil droplets, further improving the ability to remove impurities in the liquid and improving the water separation effect. The ultrasonic device installed between the inclined tube and the distributor can use the cavitation effect and mechanical effect of ultrasound to destroy the emulsified structure in the liquid, promote the separation of oil and water, and improve the treatment efficiency and quality.
[0020] (3) The inclined tube jacket connects the steam inlet pipe and the condensate pipe. The steam inlet pipe can pass steam to heat the liquid in the inclined tube to maintain a suitable temperature and reduce the impact of temperature changes on oil-water separation; the condensate flows into the heat exchange tank through the condensate pipe to achieve heat recovery. The heat exchange tank coil inside the heat exchange tank is connected to the blower at one end and the flotation plate at the other end. The air provided by the blower can be used to flot the liquid. At the same time, the air is heated in the heat exchange tank, which improves the flotation effect, further reduces the impact of temperature on the treatment effect, and improves the overall treatment efficiency.
