Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil production engineering technology and relates to a CO2 injection-driven produced water stripping treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] In oil production engineering, carbon dioxide flooding (CFD) technology involves injecting carbon dioxide into the oil reservoir to improve oil recovery. Initially, carbon dioxide does not form a miscible phase upon first contact with the formation crude oil. However, under suitable pressure, temperature, and crude oil composition conditions, carbon dioxide can form a miscible front. Supercritical fluids extract heavier hydrocarbons from the crude oil and continuously concentrate the gas at the displacement front. Thus, carbon dioxide and crude oil become a miscible liquid, forming a single liquid phase, which effectively displaces the formation crude oil into the production well.
[0003] Produced water from oilfields contains a variety of complex organic and inorganic substances. Its quality is influenced by many factors, such as the oilfield's geographical location, geological conditions, lifespan, and the chemical composition of the wastewater. These factors can all affect the physical and chemical properties of the produced water. Carbon dioxide produced water wastewater contains large amounts of dissolved carbon dioxide and H2S, resulting in a low pH level. This causes corrosion and scaling problems in oilfield equipment and renders conventional produced water treatment processes inadequate for meeting treatment standards. While achieving higher oil recovery rates, the carbon dioxide in the produced water leads to severe equipment corrosion.
[0004] Steam stripping is a key technology in wastewater treatment, frequently used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as ammonia nitrogen and tetrachloromethane. To achieve higher mass transfer efficiency, the gas-liquid contact area needs to be increased; therefore, packing materials are typically added to the reactor during the stripping process enhancement. However, current applications of stripping technology in treating produced water from carbon dioxide flooding are still imperfect, with issues such as difficulty in controlling N2 gas volume, leading to gas waste and increased costs.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] This utility model relates to a CO2 injection-driven produced water stripping treatment device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first reaction tank 1 and a second reaction tank 2 that are interconnected.
[0031] Specifically, the first reaction tank 1 and the second reaction tank 2 are connected by a gas guide pipe 22 and a drain pipe 51. The gas guide pipe 22 is Z-shaped, with one end connected to the bottom of the first reaction tank 1 and the other end connected to the upper side wall of the second reaction tank 2. The drain pipe 51 is L-shaped, with one end connected to the upper part of the first reaction tank 1 and the other end connected to the upper part of the second reaction tank 2.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the first reaction tank 1 is sequentially configured with a flocculation isolation tank 3, a stripping packing tank 4, and a stirring overflow tank 5. The upper side wall of the first reaction tank 1 is provided with an inlet pipe 11 connected to the flocculation isolation tank 3. The top of the first reaction tank 1 is provided with a dosing pipe 12 connected to the flocculation isolation tank 3. The flocculation isolation tank 3 is provided with a flow guiding component. The stripping packing tank 4 is provided with a first packing chamber 41. The stirring overflow tank 5 is provided with a first stirring component. The upper side wall of the first reaction tank 1 is also provided with a sludge discharge trough 53 connected to the stirring overflow tank 5.
[0033] Among them, baffles 13 are provided between the flocculation baffle 3 and the stripping packing tank 4, and between the stripping packing tank 4 and the stirring overflow tank 5. The baffle 13 between the flocculation baffle 3 and the stripping packing tank 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the first reaction tank 1, and its bottom extends to near the bottom of the inner wall of the first reaction tank 1. The baffle 13 between the stripping packing tank 4 and the stirring overflow tank 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the first reaction tank 1. The length of the baffle 13 is less than the height of the first reaction tank 1.
[0034] The flow guiding assembly includes several sets of cross-arranged first flow guiding plates 31 and second flow guiding plates. The first flow guiding plates 31 are disposed on the inner wall of the first reaction tank 1, and the second flow guiding plates are disposed on the partition 13 between the flocculation isolation tank 3 and the stripping packing tank 4, with the top extending to near the top of the first reaction tank. The lengths of the first flow guiding plates 31 and the second flow guiding plates are the same and smaller than the width of the flocculation isolation tank 3. This design creates an S-shaped flow inside the flocculation isolation tank 3, ensuring that the liquid can be fully mixed.
[0035] The first packing chamber 41 is located in the middle of the stripping packing tank 4. The first packing chamber 41 is equipped with permeable mesh plates at both the top and bottom. The first packing chamber 41 is filled with polypropylene multifaceted hollow spheres with a diameter of 30~50cm.
[0036] The first stirring assembly includes a first stirring motor, which is installed on the outer wall of the top of the stirring overflow tank 5. The output shaft of the first stirring motor passes through the top wall of the first reaction tank 1 and is connected to a stirring rod 52, which is installed inside the stirring overflow tank 5.
[0037] like Figure 3As shown, an air inlet pipe 21 and a water outlet pipe 23 are connected to the side wall of the second reaction tank 2 respectively. The second reaction tank 2 is provided with a second packing chamber 6 and a third packing chamber 7 from bottom to top. The second reaction tank 2 is also provided with a second stirring assembly.
[0038] The second packing chamber 6 and the third packing chamber 7 are equipped with permeable mesh panels at the top and bottom. The second packing chamber 6 is filled with polypropylene multifaceted hollow spheres with a diameter of 20-40cm, and the third packing chamber 7 is filled with polypropylene multifaceted hollow spheres with a diameter of 10-30cm.
[0039] The second stirring assembly includes a second stirring motor 24, which is mounted on the outer wall of the top of the second reaction tank 2. The output shaft of the second stirring motor 24 passes through the second reaction tank 2 and extends to the bottom of the second reaction tank 2. Several sets of stirring blades 25 are provided on the output shaft of the second stirring motor 24. The two sets of stirring blades 25 located in the middle are respectively arranged inside the second packing chamber 6 and the third packing chamber 7. It is worth noting that since the polypropylene multifaceted hollow spheres in the second packing chamber 6 and the third packing chamber 7 are relatively light, the stirring blades 25 inside the second packing chamber 6 and the third packing chamber 7 can rotate freely in actual operation.
[0040] The first packing chamber 41 is located above the part where the air guide pipe 22 connects to the first reaction tank 1. The air inlet pipe 21 is connected to the bottom of the second reaction tank 2, and the water outlet pipe 23 is connected to the upper part of the second reaction tank 2. The air inlet pipe 21 and the water outlet pipe 23 are located on the same side of the second reaction tank 2.
[0041] Working principle:
[0042] In use, CO2-driven produced water is first injected into the first reaction tank 1 through the inlet pipe 11, and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) is added through the dosing pipe 12. The produced water and PAC are fully mixed when they are guided inside the flocculation isolation tank 3. Then, it enters the stripping packing tank 4. Gas is introduced through the air inlet pipe 21 on the second reaction tank 2, so that the produced water is stripped by mixing with the polypropylene multi-faceted hollow spheres inside the first packing tank 41 to remove carbon dioxide from the produced water. Then, it enters the stirring overflow tank 5, and overflow is completed while the stirring rod 52 is stirring. Oil sludge and floating impurities are discharged through the sludge discharge tank 53.
[0043] The produced water then enters the second reaction tank 2, and N2 is injected simultaneously. While the stirring blades 25 are stirring, the polypropylene multifaceted hollow spheres in the second packing chamber 6 and the third packing chamber 7 are mixed and stripped. The mixed gas with N2 as the main component discharged through the gas guide pipe 22 enters the first reaction tank 1 for recycling, thereby realizing the secondary utilization of N2 and ultimately achieving the goal of saving N2 consumption and greatly reducing costs. Finally, the treated produced water is discharged through the water outlet pipe 23.
[0044] Ultimately, under the condition of a hydraulic retention time of 30 min, the carbon dioxide removal effect was good, the stirring speed was 80 rpm, the PAC concentration was 50 mg / L, and the gas-to-water ratio was 5:1. The cost per ton of water treated was 0.6 yuan / m³. 3 The effluent pH is neutral, CO2 content is controlled below 30 mg / L, oil content is not higher than 5.0 mg / L, suspended solids content is not higher than 1.0 mg / L, and median diameter is not higher than 1.0 μm. Ultimately, this achieves the goal of saving N2 usage and greatly reduces costs.
