Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petroleum development, in particular to an oilfield produced water treatment system. Background Art

[0002] Oilfield produced water treatment is a crucial step in the oil extraction process. Produced water contains various impurities, crude oil, and dissolved gases, requiring effective treatment to meet environmental emission standards and water resource recycling requirements. Traditional oilfield produced water treatment devices have several drawbacks, such as low treatment efficiency, large footprint, and complex operation. Therefore, a novel, highly efficient oilfield produced water treatment device is necessary. The present invention proposes a wastewater purification device that combines chemicals with materials, featuring a simple structure and high efficiency, capable of rapidly treating oilfield wastewater.

[0003] Existing technology removes crude oil and other suspended matter from oily wastewater through purification equipment such as sedimentation and filtration. This process can be summarized as a three-stage process: natural oil removal + coagulation and oil removal + pressure filtration. This process primarily includes natural sedimentation tanks, coagulation and sedimentation tanks, buffer tanks, and pressure filtration tanks. After entering the wastewater, impurities are removed through natural sedimentation. Then, suspended matter is removed through coagulation and buffer tanks. Finally, the treated water is pressure filtered and transported to the nearest water injection station for reinjection.

[0004] The existing three-stage treatment process of "natural oil removal + coagulation oil removal + pressure filtration" operates independently, potentially resulting in low overall efficiency. In particular, the removal of fine particles and soluble oils may be limited. Furthermore, processes like pressure filtration consume significant energy, increasing operating costs. Pressure filtration, in particular, requires even greater energy to push water through the filter media, increasing the cost of electricity and mechanical equipment. The treated water can also contain various bacteria and fail to fully meet environmental discharge standards. Summary of the Invention
