Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oilfield gathering and transportation production technology, and is a horizontal descaling tank. Background Technology
[0002] Scaling in oilfield pipelines is caused by the deposition of insoluble salts formed by calcium and magnesium ions and carbonate and sulfate ions in mineralized water. This leads to reduced pipe diameter, increased resistance, increased energy consumption, and even blockage. Traditional descaling methods such as hot washing, mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning, and the addition of scale inhibitors have achieved certain results, but they also have problems such as high operating costs and significant environmental pollution, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient, safe, and sustainable production in oilfields.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN104209301A discloses a method and apparatus for rapid scale collection and removal in a gathering and transportation pipeline. The rapid scale collection and removal apparatus for a gathering and transportation pipeline comprises six three-way cylinders connected by stainless steel flanges to form a descaling unit. The structure of each descaling unit is as follows: the right end of the first three-way cylinder is connected to the left end of the second three-way cylinder; the lower end of the first three-way cylinder is connected to the upper end of the third three-way cylinder; the right end of the second three-way cylinder is connected to the upper end of the sixth three-way cylinder; the lower end of the second three-way cylinder is connected to the upper end of the fourth three-way cylinder; the left end of the fourth three-way cylinder is connected to the right end of the third three-way cylinder; and the right end of the fourth three-way cylinder is connected to the upper end of the fifth three-way cylinder.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN108204206A discloses a gathering and conveying pipe bundle, a scale-collecting core, a gathering and conveying coalescence descaling device and system. The gathering and conveying pipe bundle includes: a branch pipe connected to the incoming liquid pipeline; a guide pipe connected to the outgoing liquid pipeline; multiple bottom branch pipes, all connected to the branch pipe; multiple top branch pipes, all connected to the guide pipe; and multiple sets of risers, each set of risers having one end connected to a bottom branch pipe and the other end connected to a top branch pipe.

[0005] Existing tubular scale collection devices have good performance in single-well systems, but their performance in combined stations is not ideal. This is mainly because the large flow rate of the combined station results in the short residence time of the produced water in the device, and the scale is discharged from the device before it can crystallize and precipitate. Summary of the Invention

[0077] A pre-stirring zone 47 is formed inside the tank body 6 on the left side of the baffle. The pre-stirring zone 47 is used to add magnetic seeds and stir them to shorten the nucleation induction period of scale in the liquid. The magnetic seed inlet 27 is a cone shape with a smaller top and a larger bottom. In this way, the magnetic seeds can be evenly added to the extracted water on the left side of the tank body 6 after passing through the magnetic seed inlet 27, so that the magnetic seeds and the extracted water can be quickly and evenly mixed together.

[0089] A pre-stirring zone 47 is formed inside the tank body 6 on the left side of the baffle. Based on the changes in the liquid level of the pre-stirring zone 47 (the first liquid level sensor 30 collects the liquid level), and the pressure and flow changes of the seeding pipeline 4, the inlet pipeline 44, and the outlet pipeline 45, the magnetic seed addition flow rate is adjusted in real time by the control module 28 to mix the magnetic seed with the produced water, thereby shortening the nucleation induction period of the scale. This ensures that the produced water reaches the nucleation induction period just as it enters the flow chamber 46, achieving targeted and rapid scaling and descaling.
[0090] The mineralized water first flows into the inner left side of the tank body 6 through the inlet. After entering the inner left side of the tank body 6 through the inlet, the mineralized water gradually fills the pre-stirring zone 47 under the action of gravity. The oil in the mineralized water flows out through the oil outlet, the first connecting pipeline 41, and the second connecting pipeline 42 at the top of the tank body 6. The control module 28 controls the dosing pump 29 to adjust the dosing flow rate of the magnetic seed according to the flow rate of the mineralized water flowing into the tank body 6 and the liquid level in the tank. When the stirring motor 24 is working, it drives the stirring blades 25 to rotate, so that the mineralized water and the magnetic seed can be fully mixed. The mixture flows into the overflow chamber 46 under the action of the baffle plate 1. Under the action of the corrugated plate 13 and the electric heating rod 15, the scale and mineralized water are separated. The separated mineralized water flows out through the outlet pipe 45 in the upper right corner and then merges with the oil flow in the second connecting pipe 42. The separated scale and dirt gather on the surface of the corrugated plate 13. A very small amount of tiny magnetic seeds sink to the bottom of the overflow chamber 46 and are discharged into the drain tank 21 through the drain pipe 22 to ensure that the horizontal descaling tank will not be blocked due to the accumulation of calcium scale.
[0091] Different descaling processes can be selected according to the different mineralization levels of the mineralized water. When the mineralization level of the mineralized water is 0-4000ppm, the corrugated plate 13 and magnet 10 are activated. When the mineralization level is 4000ppm-8000ppm, the corrugated plate 13 and magnet 10 are activated, and the magnetic seed in the storage tank 3 is introduced into the tank body 6 through the dosing pump 29. After the stirring motor 24 is activated, it drives the blade to rotate, and the magnetic seed and liquid are fully mixed. When the mineralization level is greater than 8000ppm, the corrugated plate, magnet 10, and electric heating rod 15 are activated. The magnetic seed in the storage tank 3 is introduced into the tank body 6 through the dosing pump 29. After the stirring motor 24 is activated, it drives the blade to rotate, and the magnetic seed and liquid are fully mixed. The complete descaling process is used to ensure the best scale accumulation effect.
[0092] This horizontal descaling tank utilizes the synergistic effects of electric heating, a magnetic field, magnetic seeds, and a corrugated plate to significantly improve the calcium loss rate and scaling rate of mineralized water. Electric heating increases the fluid temperature, reducing the solubility of scaling substances; the magnetic field influences the trajectory of ions, promoting the directional migration and aggregation of scaling ions; the magnetic seeds provide adsorption sites for crystals; and the corrugated plate 13 easily adsorbs scaling ions and enhances fluid mass transfer, promoting heterogeneous nucleation scaling. These effects improve scaling efficiency and shorten the nucleation induction period. Furthermore, the flow mechanism and magnetic seeds can be removed, cleaned, and reinserted after scaling, avoiding resource waste and environmental pollution, demonstrating promising application prospects.
[0093] The above technical features constitute various embodiments of this utility model, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Unnecessary technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
