Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petroleum production, and in particular to an oil-water separator for offshore petroleum production. Background Technology

[0002] Offshore oil production refers to a series of activities involving oil exploration, extraction, processing, and transportation in the marine environment. In the oil production field, oil-water separators are a crucial piece of equipment. During oil production and processing, oil-water mixtures are often generated, such as oily wastewater and petroleum pollutants. Oil-water separation mainly relies on the density difference or chemical properties of water and oil, utilizing the principle of gravity sedimentation or other physicochemical reactions to remove impurities or separate oil and water.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN213965274U, which discloses an oil-water separator for offshore oil production. The separator includes an oil-water separator body, with an inlet at the top, an oil outlet at the front, a drain outlet on one side, and a water outlet on the other side. A water pipe is fixedly installed on the water outlet. A first partition is fixedly connected to the interior of the oil-water separator body near the inlet. A locking block is fixedly connected to both the inner wall of the oil-water separator body and the outer wall of the first partition, with a filter basket mounted on the locking block. A scraper is located at the bottom of the oil-water separator body. An isolation layer and a heat-conducting plate are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the oil-water separator body, with a heating pipe fixedly installed inside the isolation layer.

[0004] Different batches of oil-water mixtures have different oil concentrations, resulting in different thicknesses of the separated oil layer.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an oil-water separator for offshore oil production includes a base 1. The bottom of the base 1 has an installation groove. Support legs 101 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. A separation cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A feed pipe 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the separation cylinder 2. A drain pipe 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the separation cylinder 2. An oil drain pipe 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the separation cylinder 2. Solenoid valves are installed in both the feed pipe 201 and the drain pipe 202. The other end of the oil drain pipe 203 is connected to an external suction pump.

[0027] The wall of the separator 2 has a cavity, and a heating element is installed in the cavity. The heating element is an electric heating wire. The inner bottom wall of the separator 2 is inclined, and the drain pipe 202 is located on the lower side of the inner bottom wall of the separator 2.

[0028] A stirring assembly is installed inside the separation cylinder 2. The stirring assembly includes a stirring motor 401 bolted to the mounting groove. The output end of the stirring motor 401 is connected to a mounting shaft 402 via a coupling. The mounting shaft 402 extends into the separation cylinder 2. Multiple sets of circumferentially arranged stirring rods 403 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting shaft 402. When the stirring motor 401 is started, the stirring motor 401 drives the mounting shaft 402 to rotate the stirring rods 403, stirring the mixture and causing the oil and water to be initially separated.

[0029] A sliding groove is provided between the inner walls of the separator cylinder 2. An installation plate 301 is slidably connected in the sliding groove. A conveying pipe 302 is fixedly connected between the installation plate 301 and the inner top wall of the separator cylinder 2. The conveying pipe 302 is connected to the oil drain pipe 203. An oil collection cover 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation plate 301. The oil collection cover 303 is connected to the conveying pipe 302. The conveying pipe 302 is a corrugated hose. A glass window 307 is provided on the front side of the separator cylinder 2. The thickness of the oil layer can be easily observed through the glass window 307, so that the oil collection cover 303 can be moved to a suitable height.

[0030] A power assembly is provided at the top of the separation cylinder 2. The power assembly is used to drive the mounting plate 301 to move up and down. The power assembly includes a rotary motor 304 bolted to the top of the separation cylinder 2. The output end of the rotary motor 304 is connected to a screw 305 through a coupling. A threaded sleeve 306 is connected to the external thread of the screw 305. The mounting plate 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded sleeve 306. When the rotary motor 304 is started, the rotary motor 304 drives the screw 305 to rotate. The screw 305 drives the threaded sleeve 306 to move the mounting plate 301 up and down.

[0031] Working principle: During use, an appropriate amount of mixture enters the separator cylinder 2 through the feed pipe 201. The solenoid valve in the feed pipe 201 is closed, and the stirring motor 401 is started. The stirring motor 401 drives the mounting shaft 402 to rotate the stirring rod 403 to stir the mixture. The stirring motor 401 is then turned off, and the mixture is allowed to stand, allowing the less dense oil to float to the top. After standing for a period of time, the rotary motor 304 is started, driving the screw 305 to rotate. The screw 305 drives the screw sleeve 306 to move the mounting plate 301 up and down. The oil collection cover 303 is moved to a suitable height according to the thickness of the oil layer. The upper layer of oil is extracted by the external suction pump. Then, the solenoid valve in the drain pipe 202 is opened, and the lower layer of water is discharged through the drain pipe 202.
