[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example 1, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an oil-water interface separation device includes a main housing 1. The inner cavity of the main housing 1 is divided into an inlet chamber 101, a mixing chamber 102, a settling chamber 103, and an oil-water separation chamber from left to right by a corrugated packing 2, a metal baffle 3, and a baffle 4. The oil-water separation chamber is further divided into an oil chamber 104 and a water chamber 105 by a transversely arranged oil-water baffle 5. At the bottom of the main housing 1, located at the settling chamber 103, a first drain pipe 6 and a second drain pipe 7 are arranged from left to right. The first drain pipe 6 and the second drain pipe 7 serve to discharge impurities floating on the surface of the oil, gas, and water interface during the separation process. The first drain pipe is used to discharge impurities floating on the surface of the oil-water interface, and the second drain pipe is used to discharge impurities floating on the surface of the oil-gas interface. A wire mesh demister 9 is arranged at the bottom outlet of the air outlet 8 on the top right side of the inner cavity of the main housing 1 to eliminate foam in the settled gas and liquid, and to further separate the gas from the separated gas and liquid so that it can be discharged outward through the air outlet.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main housing 1 has a liquid inlet 10 on the top left side that communicates with the liquid inlet chamber 101; the main housing 1 has several drain outlets 11 at the bottom; a liquid level gauge 12 is provided on the main housing 1 on the upper and lower sides of the mixing chamber 102, which is a high level gauge on the upper side and a low level gauge on the lower side; a set of liquid level measuring instruments 13 is provided on the main housing 1 at the positions of the oil chamber 104 and the water chamber 105, which is a high level gauge and a low level gauge.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main housing 1 has an oil outlet 14 at the bottom of the oil chamber 104; the main housing 1 has a water outlet 15 at the bottom of the water chamber 105; the bottom of the baffle 4 is connected to the water chamber 105 through a liquid level adjusting water guide pipe 16.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main housing 1 is provided with a manhole 17 at the positions of the liquid inlet chamber 101, mixing chamber 102, settling chamber 103, oil chamber 104, and water chamber 105, respectively, for the installation, maintenance, and inspection of the internal components of the main housing and the internal environment of the housing.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a safety valve port 18 is provided on the main housing 1 at the mixing chamber 102.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a pressure gauge port 19 is provided on the main housing 1 at the position of the settling chamber 103.

[0026] During operation, the oil-water-gas mixture flows into the equipment's inlet chamber through the inlet. The liquid level rises continuously with the flow rate, reaching a set value. At this point, the mixture undergoes initial separation through corrugated packing and flows into the mixing chamber, resulting in a mixed liquid. Next, the mixture in the mixing chamber undergoes secondary separation through TP plate packing (i.e., metal baffles), forming a gas-oil-water interface mixture. When the liquid level in the mixing chamber reaches the set control range as measured by the level gauge, the first drain pipe discharges impurities floating on the oil-water interface, and the second drain pipe discharges impurities floating on the oil-gas interface. Specifically:

[0027] (1) The gas and liquid in the upper gas interface are separated again by the top wire mesh demister and discharged out through the gas outlet; (2) The oil in the middle oil interface flows into the oil chamber through the baffle and is discharged through the bottom oil outlet after the oil level is measured by the oil chamber level measuring device to reach the required liquid level height.

[0028] (3) The water in the bottom water interface is introduced into the water chamber through the liquid level adjustment water pipe. After the liquid level is measured by the water chamber liquid level measuring device and the liquid level height requirement is reached, it is discharged through the bottom water outlet.

[0029] Obviously, the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of this utility model fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, then this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
