DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary only, and are used only for explaining the present application, and cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the present application.

[0024] As Figure 1As shown, a cyclone oil removal device includes a sealed tank body 1, which is provided with a pressurization zone 101, a cyclone separation zone 102 and a dissolved air zone 103 from top to bottom. The pressurization zone 101 is mainly for gas, and the oil level and oil discharge amount are controlled by pressure change. The cyclone separation zone 102 is a composite zone, in which oil-containing wastewater and bubbles in the dissolved air water adhere to form lighter oil droplets, which rapidly float upward to form an oil layer under the action of rotational centripetal force. The dissolved air zone 103 is a zone in which the fine bubbles contained in the dissolved air water are uniformly mixed with water, and the oil droplets in the wastewater adhere to the bubbles to accelerate the upward floating speed. The top of the pressurization zone 101 is respectively provided with an air inlet connected with an air inlet pipeline 13 and an air outlet connected with an air outlet pipeline 2, and the other end of the air outlet pipeline 2 is connected with a dissolved air pump 4. In order to further mix the gas-water mixture uniformly and further refine the bubble particles of the dissolved air water, a dissolved air tank 3 is connected at the outlet end of the dissolved air pump 13, and the outlet of the dissolved air tank 3 is connected with a dissolved air head 7 through a pipeline. Preferably, in order to further improve the dissolved air effect of the pressure type dissolved air tank 3, a stepped ring, a Raschig ring or the like filler can be added inside the tank. The cyclone separation zone 102 is provided with a spiral separation plate 9, which is preferably connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1. An oil collection bucket 8 is arranged on the inner side of the spiral separation plate 9, and an oil discharge pipeline 10 is arranged in the oil collection bucket 8. One end of the oil discharge pipeline 10 extends downward to the bottom of the oil collection bucket 8, and the other end extends upward to the outside of the tank body 1 and is connected with an oil discharge pipeline 14. The tank body 1 of the cyclone separation zone 103 is provided with liquid inlets distributed along the tangential position of the tank body 1, and the liquid inlets are connected with liquid inlet pipelines 18. The liquid inlets are distributed along the tangential direction of the tank body 1, so that the fluid in the tank body 1 can quickly form a cyclone state, further optimizing the separation effect. The dissolved air zone 103 is provided with a dissolved air head 7, and the lower part of the dissolved air head 7 is mainly clean water after purification. The bottom of the tank body 1 is provided with a sewage outlet 16 and a clean water outlet 5. The tank body 1 is provided with an oil-gas monitor 12, an oil-water monitor 11 and a pressure sensor.

[0025] The clean water outlet 5 is provided with two clean water outlets, one of which is directly discharged outside the tank body 1 through a pipeline, and the other of which is connected with the dissolved air pump 4 through a pipeline to provide water source for the dissolved air pump 4. Preferably, a baffle 6 is arranged above the clean water outlet 5 to prevent impurities from entering the clean water pipeline.

[0026] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the device further comprises an electric control cabinet 15 and a mounting bracket 17, and the electric control cabinet 15 and the tank body 1 are both mounted on the mounting bracket 17; the electric control cabinet 15 comprises a PLC controller. The air inlet pipeline 13 is provided with an electric control valve, and the oil gas monitor 12, the oil water monitor 11, the pressure sensor and the electric control valve are all connected with the PLC controller through signal lines. By mounting the electric control cabinet 15 and the tank body 1 on the mounting bracket 17, the structure is simple and compact, and the device is convenient to assemble, disassemble and transport. By means of the sensor feedback signals of the oil gas monitor 12 and the oil water monitor 11, the interface between the gas, the oil and the water in the tank body 1 is determined, and then the PLC controller is used to control the size of the opening of the electric control valve, the rotating speed of the motor and the like to control the pressure, the liquid level and the flow rate in the tank body, so that the gas, the oil and the water in the whole tank body are always controlled in a reasonable range, the purpose of oil water separation is achieved, and the degree of automation is high.

[0027] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: first, the air inlet pipeline 13 is opened, and clean water is injected into the tank body 1 to the position of the oil gas monitor 12, and the dissolved air pump 4 is started to form an internal dissolved air circulation state in the tank body 1. In this process, the dissolved air pump 4 water inlet end valve and the gas pipeline 2 valve can be adjusted to adjust the reasonable dissolved water gas ratio, and after the stable dissolved air circulation is formed, the air inlet pipeline 13 is closed, and then the oil-containing wastewater is introduced.

[0028] The oil-containing wastewater enters the tank body 1 through the tangent water inlet pipeline, and the oil droplets in the wastewater quickly combine with the dissolved air water to form large-particle oil droplets. The large-particle oil droplets become light and can accelerate the upward floating speed. At the same time, under the action of centrifugal force, the large-particle oil droplets gather to the tank wall side and float upward, and the separated clean water flows to the lower part of the tank body 1, and in the flowing process, the clean water further combines with the bubbles in the dissolved air zone 103 to separate the waste oil, and reaches the bottom of the tank body 1. The clean water enters the clean water outlet 5.

[0029] The separated waste oil forms a waste oil layer in the upper part of the tank body 1, and under the action of the tank pressure, the waste oil enters the oil collecting barrel 8 and is discharged outside the tank through the oil discharge pipeline 10. The oil discharge pipeline 10 is provided with an electric valve controlled by a PLC controller. When the valve is closed, the tank pressure increases and the oil layer thickness increases, and when the valve is opened, the tank pressure decreases, the oil discharge accelerates, and the oil layer thickness decreases. The oil layer thickness can be confirmed by the oil gas monitor 12 and the oil water monitor 11, and the feedback is given to the PLC controller to control the electric valve to achieve the purpose of reasonable oil discharge.

[0030] The pressure type dissolved air tank 3 and the dissolved air pump 4 are main components for generating dissolved air water, and the whole process of forming the dissolved air flotation is an internal circulation process of the device. The water inlet thereof is a clean water outlet, the gas inlet is air in the part of the pressurization zone 101, and the fused dissolved air water all enters the tank body 1, so the process does not affect the internal pressure change of the equipment.

[0031] It should be noted that, for the safety of equipment and personnel. A mechanical safety valve is arranged on the top of the tank 1, when the pressure control in the tank 1 fails, the safety valve can be automatically opened to release high pressure, thereby protecting the safety of equipment and personnel. During the entire treatment process, the impurities that cannot be discharged through cyclone and air flotation due to their large weight are discharged through the blowdown port 16 at regular intervals.

[0032] The above is a detailed introduction to the oil removal device provided by the utility model, and the technical principles and implementation modes of the utility model are described in this paper by applying specific examples. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core idea of the utility model; at the same time, for the general technical personnel in the field, according to the idea of the utility model, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed, and the above is not understood as the limitation of the utility model.
