Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oily wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to an oil and gas field flotation-enhanced oil-water separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Air flotation oil-water separators separate oil and water by injecting microbubbles into oily wastewater, causing oil droplets to adhere to them and float to the surface, thus achieving oil-water separation. The air flotation layer formed by the bubbles effectively increases the rising speed and aggregation effect of oil droplets. It is widely used in produced water treatment during oil and gas field development, effectively removing dispersed oil and emulsified oil from the water. It is also used in wastewater treatment systems at oil and gas field production sites to ensure that wastewater meets discharge standards or is reused. Its high efficiency and compact design play a crucial role in space-constrained areas such as offshore oil and gas platforms.

[0003] The air flotation oil-water separation device mainly consists of a dissolved air system, including a dissolved air tank and an air compressor, which is responsible for generating microbubbles, the foundation for air flotation. Next is the reaction zone, where wastewater and bubbles fully mix and react, allowing oil droplets to float better on the surface of the oil-water mixture. Then comes the air flotation separation zone, the main site where oil droplets rise and oil-water separation is achieved.

[0004] In existing technologies, some air flotation oil-water separation devices generally separate oil and water by directly adding the oil-water mixture to the reaction zone, lacking a multi-stage filtration step. This can significantly lead to impurities or waste in the oil-water separation process, affecting the purity of the oil-water separation or directly impacting its effectiveness. Therefore, an oil-water separation device for enhancing the efficiency of air flotation in oil and gas fields is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The outer wall of the feed pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the discharge box 17. The oil-water mixture filtered out by the discharge box 17 enters the interior of the oil-water separator 1. The inner wall of the discharge box 17 is fixedly connected to two inclined plates 6, which facilitate the discharge of impurities and garbage. The bottom of the discharge box 17 is provided with a drain port 5, which is used to discharge impurities and garbage. The top of the discharge box 17 is fixedly connected to a feeder 8, which is used to add the unseparated oil-water mixture. The outer wall of the feeder 8 is fixedly connected to a feed inlet 16. The inner wall of the oil-water separator 1 is fixedly connected to a baffle 21, which is used to separate the oil-water separation area from the oil storage area of ​​the purified oil.

[0034] An oil outlet 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the oil-water separator 1 for discharging purified oil. A water pump 25 is installed on the inner wall of the feed pipe 3 for extracting the oil-water mixture. A water outlet 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the oil-water separator 1 for discharging the water after oil-water separation. Multiple support frames 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge box 17. The outer teeth of the control gear 9 are meshed with the outer teeth of the transmission gear 10. The outer wall of the control gear 9 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 15 for driving the control gear 9 to rotate.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The reciprocating motion assembly includes a fixed plate 14, which is used to fix the reciprocating motion assembly. The fixed plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the oil-water separator 1. A motor 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the oil-water separator 1. The motor 15 is used to drive the control gear 9 to rotate. A transmission gear 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 14. The rotation of the control gear 9 is used to drive the transmission gear 10 to rotate. A turntable 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 14. The outer wall of the turntable 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission gear 10. The rotation of the transmission gear 10 drives the turntable 24 to rotate.

[0036] A connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the turntable 24, and a scraper 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 12. The rotation of the turntable 24 drives the connecting rod 12 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rod 12 drives the scraper 13 to scrape back and forth. An air pump 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the oil-water separator 1. The air pump 20 is used to blow out airflow to push the air-flotated oil to the oil storage chamber separated by the baffle 21.

The oil adheres to the bubbles generated by the bubble generator. The outlet end of the bubble generator 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the energy generator 11.

[0037] Working principle: When oil-water separation is required, the oil-water mixture inside the feeder 8 will fall into the discharge box 17. There may be some impurities of the same size in the oil-water mixture. If too many impurities enter the oil-water tank for oil-water separation, it may reduce the purity of the oil-water separation. When the oil-water mixture falls into the primary filter 4, the grooves on the surface of the primary filter 4 will prevent larger impurities from being filtered. The secondary filter 7 will filter smaller impurities. The filter screen 2 will further filter the impurities in the oil-water mixture. After the impurities settle, they will fall onto the surface of the inclined plate 6 and be discharged through the drain port 5. Then the water pump 25 will draw out the oil-water mixture from the feed box.

[0038] When the filtered oil-water mixture enters the oil-water separator 1, the bubble generator 22 is activated, dissolving air in the water under a certain pressure to form dissolved air water. When the pressure of the dissolved air water decreases, the supersaturated air in the water is released in the form of tiny bubbles. Then, the enhancer is activated to strengthen the flotation effect, making the bubbles more uniform, smaller, and more stable, thereby increasing the probability of contact between the bubbles and oil droplets. At this time, the oil in the oil-water mixture floats to the surface with the bubbles. The air pump 20 is activated to blow the surface bubbles into the oil storage chamber separated by the baffle 21. During this process, the motor 15 drives the control gear 9 to rotate, and the drive transmission gear 10 of the control gear 9 rotates. The rotation of the rotating gear drives the turntable 24 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 24 drives the scraper 13 to reciprocate through the connecting rod 12 to scrape the oil-water mixture and the oil fused with the bubbles into the interior of the oil storage chamber.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
