Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tubular membrane components, in particular to a stainless steel composite ceramic tubular membrane component for treating high-temperature oilfield sewage. Background Art

[0002] During oilfield development, as mining depth and scale increase, large quantities of high-temperature oilfield wastewater are generated. This wastewater has several notable characteristics: high water temperature, typically exceeding 80°C; high salinity, often containing large amounts of soluble salts such as sodium chloride; high oil content, resulting in a high oil-water mixture ratio; high suspended solids content, often containing particles such as silt and oil residue; and a large number of complex chemicals, such as surfactants, antioxidants, and descaling agents. These factors make the treatment of oilfield wastewater extremely challenging and place very high demands on wastewater treatment equipment.

[0003] Traditional wastewater treatment methods primarily include physical sedimentation, chemical flocculation, biological treatment, and conventional membrane separation technologies. However, these technologies face numerous challenges when treating high-temperature oilfield wastewater. For example, due to material limitations, traditional membrane modules are prone to failure in high-temperature and high-salinity environments, resulting in reduced treatment efficiency or equipment damage. Furthermore, the complex nature of the oil and chemical substances can easily lead to membrane fouling, reducing equipment life and separation efficiency. High-temperature wastewater also exacerbates equipment corrosion, placing higher demands on equipment durability.

[0004] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content

[0021] Specifically, this stainless steel composite ceramic tubular membrane assembly comprises a membrane element and a stainless steel housing. The membrane element is composed of a stainless steel filter membrane loaded with a ceramic membrane, and the membrane element and the stainless steel housing are connected by direct welding. In this solution, the combination of the stainless steel filter membrane and the ceramic membrane enables the membrane assembly to withstand the high temperatures and pressures during the sewage treatment process, while also providing excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Direct welding avoids the problem of adhesive failure at high temperatures associated with the use of adhesives, enhancing the overall durability and stability of the membrane assembly.

[0022] Specifically, the membrane element is heat-resistant and adaptable to the demands of wastewater treatment in high-temperature environments. In the above solution, the ceramic membrane element is typically made of high-temperature resistant materials such as alumina and zirconia, capable of maintaining stable filtration performance in environments with temperatures ranging from 0°C to 100°C. This design meets the demanding high-temperature requirements of high-temperature oilfield wastewater treatment, ensuring that the membrane element's service life and performance are not affected by temperature fluctuations.

[0023] Specifically, the stainless steel housing provides structural support for the membrane element. In the above solution, the stainless steel housing, made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, provides strong mechanical support for the membrane element, preventing deformation or damage in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Furthermore, the housing's structural design ensures long-term, stable operation of the membrane assembly during wastewater treatment.

[0024] Specifically, the ceramic membrane is used for high-precision wastewater separation, while the stainless steel filter membrane provides additional support. In this solution, the ceramic membrane's microporous structure allows for precise separation of fine pollutants and impurities, making it suitable for high-precision wastewater treatment. The stainless steel filter membrane, with its strong mechanical properties, provides mechanical support for the ceramic membrane, enhancing the durability of the overall filtration system.

[0025] Specifically, the stainless steel housing can withstand temperatures ranging from 0°C to 100°C. In this solution, the housing is made of high-quality, high-temperature and high-pressure-resistant stainless steel, ensuring the long-term, stable operation of the membrane module under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. This design enables the membrane module to be widely used in high-temperature and high-pressure oilfield wastewater treatment applications, adapting to a variety of extreme operating conditions.

[0026] Specifically, the direct welding connection method avoids the use of adhesives, preventing adhesive failure in high-temperature or chemical environments. In the above solution, direct welding technology securely connects the membrane element to the housing through a welding process under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. This not only improves the strength of the connection but also avoids leakage or failure caused by adhesive degradation in high-temperature and corrosive environments, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the membrane assembly.

[0027] Specifically, the membrane element is a stack of multiple layers of ceramic membranes. In the above solution, the membrane element utilizes a stacked structure of ceramic and stainless steel membranes. This design not only improves filtration accuracy but also extends the life of the membrane element, reducing the need for frequent membrane element replacement and lowering maintenance costs.

[0028] Specifically, the high strength and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel filter membrane ensure long-term reliable operation under harsh working conditions.

[0029] The operating principle can be described as follows: This membrane assembly filters and separates high-temperature oilfield wastewater through a combination of stainless steel and ceramic membranes. The stainless steel housing provides strong mechanical support for the membrane element, enabling stable operation under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, while the ceramic membrane is primarily responsible for high-precision wastewater separation.

[0030] The specific working steps are as follows:

[0031] 1. Filtration: Sewage enters the membrane element. The ceramic membrane, with its microporous structure, separates smaller pollutant particles with high precision. The microporous structure of the ceramic membrane typically filters out particles with diameters in the micrometer or even nanometer range, effectively removing suspended solids, oil, and other pollutants from the wastewater.

[0032] 2. Operation under high temperature and high pressure conditions: The stainless steel housing and stainless steel filter membrane material are resistant to high temperatures and high pressures and can withstand temperatures ranging from 0°C to 100°C. In high-temperature oilfield wastewater treatment, the membrane assembly can operate continuously and effectively, maintaining the stability and filtration efficiency of the membrane element.

[0033] 3. Direct welding seal: The membrane element is directly welded to the stainless steel housing, eliminating potential issues associated with adhesives, which can fail in high temperatures or corrosive environments. This welding method ensures that the membrane assembly connection maintains a good seal and stability even under harsh conditions, preventing water leaks or structural damage.

[0034] Based on the above principle, the stainless steel composite ceramic tubular membrane module can maintain efficient and stable operation when treating high-temperature, high-pressure, and highly corrosive oilfield wastewater, providing good wastewater filtration effects and extending the service life of the membrane module.

[0035] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design, a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
