Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of defoamer applications, and in particular to a storage device for defoamer. Background Technology

[0002] In the natural gas extraction process, the foaming and defoaming process is often used to reduce the operating cost of gas lift. The foaming and defoaming process increases the liquid carrying capacity of the gas well, thereby increasing production. The output of the foaming and defoaming process needs to be defoamed to remove excess foam.

[0003] However, defoamers are prone to emulsification and the formation of silicone oil when stored in containers. Silicone oil added to pipelines can easily cause blockages, reducing production efficiency and increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where silicone oil added to pipelines can easily cause pipeline blockage, and to provide a storage device for defoamer.

[0005] This utility model provides a storage device for defoamer, comprising:

[0006] The barrel body has a valve body, a mounting port, and a cuboid-shaped receiving space. The valve body is connected to the receiving space, and the mounting port is connected to the receiving space. The valve body is located at the upper part of the barrel body, and the mounting port is located at the upper part of the barrel body.

[0007] An oil-pushing assembly is connected to the mounting port and is used to push silicone oil to the valve body.

[0008] This invention relates to a storage device for defoamer. The defoamer is stored in a containment space. Before use, a pushing component pushes the silicone oil at the top of the defoamer to the valve body. By opening the valve body, the silicone oil is discharged from the containment space, reducing the amount of silicone oil entering the pipeline and thus preventing pipeline blockage caused by silicone oil discharge. An installation port is provided on the tank body, through which the pushing component enters the containment space, enabling the pushing component to move the silicone oil. The valve body then discharges the silicone oil from the tank body, reducing the failure rate of the gas extraction pipeline network and improving production efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the oil pushing assembly includes a push plate and a push rod, the push plate is connected to the push rod, the push rod is connected to the mounting port, the push plate is located in the receiving space, and the push plate is used to push the silicone oil to the valve body.

[0010] The push plate has a large contact area with the silicone oil in the containment space, which facilitates the displacement of the silicone oil and allows the silicone oil in the barrel to be quickly discharged from the valve body; the push rod is used to support the push plate, so that the push plate can be moved on a specified plane, and the push plate can push the silicone oil to move.

[0011] Preferably, the push rod is detachably connected to the push plate, the top of the barrel has an opening that communicates with the receiving space, and the push plate can enter the receiving space through the opening; the push rod is slidably connected to the mounting port, or the push rod is detachably connected to the mounting port.

[0012] When removing silicone oil from the barrel, the push plate is inserted into the receiving space from the opening, and the push rod is inserted into the receiving space from the mounting port, so that the push plate and push rod are assembled and connected within the receiving space. When storing defoamer in the barrel, the push plate and push rod are disassembled to separate them from the barrel, thereby removing them from the barrel. The push rod can be a straight rod, which slides through the mounting port to move the push plate within the receiving space. Alternatively, the push rod can be a telescopic rod, which moves the push plate through its extension and retraction. When using a telescopic rod, the push rod can be detachably connected and fixed to the mounting port.

[0013] Preferably, the push plate has a sleeve in the middle, and the push rod is threadedly connected to the sleeve.

[0014] The threaded connection makes it easy to connect and disconnect the push rod, facilitating installation. By rotating the push rod, the push rod and push plate can be quickly connected and separated, improving the efficiency of silicone oil removal.

[0015] Preferably, the pusher plate includes a rectangular filter screen, which is spaced apart from the side wall of the receiving space.

[0016] The filter screen can move within the containment space, pushing the silicone oil to the valve body. The rectangular filter screen allows the defoamer to pass through while blocking the silicone oil. During the movement of the rectangular filter screen, the disturbance to the defoamer can be reduced.

[0017] Preferably, the rectangular filter screen comprises a 100-mesh stainless steel filter screen.

[0018] A 100-mesh stainless steel filter can push the silicone oil to the valve body, and the defoamer can pass through the filter holes on the filter screen, reducing disturbance to the defoamer.

[0019] Preferably, the barrel body is provided with a cover plate, which can be detachably connected to the mounting port.

[0020] When storing defoamer, separate the push rod from the mounting port and cover the mounting port with a cover plate to seal the storage space, which facilitates the storage of defoamer.

[0021] Preferably, the height of the mounting port is greater than the height of the valve body.

[0022] In actual use, the height of the valve body is the same as the height of the defoamer liquid in the containment space. After the silicone oil is separated, it will float on the top of the defoamer, and the defoamer liquid level will drop slightly. After the valve body is opened, the silicone oil floating on the top of the defoamer can be discharged by the valve body. The height of the installation port is greater than the height of the defoamer liquid to prevent the defoamer from flowing out of the installation port and to facilitate the operation of the operator.

[0023] Preferably, the mounting port and the valve body are located on the same side of the barrel, or the mounting port and the valve body are located on opposite sides of the barrel.

[0024] When the pusher plate pushes the silicone oil, it moves the silicone oil assembly closer to the valve body, thereby bringing the silicone oil closer to the valve body; the installation port and the valve body are located on opposite sides of the barrel, which gives the operator more operating space and avoids interference between the push rod and the valve body.

[0025] Preferably, the valve body comprises a PVC ball valve.

[0026] PVC ball valves are easy to control, allowing silicone oil to be quickly discharged from the containment space.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] 1. This utility model provides a storage device for defoamer. The defoamer is stored in a containment space. Before using the defoamer, the silicone oil at the top of the defoamer is pushed to the valve body by an oil-pushing component. By opening the valve body, the silicone oil is discharged from the containment space, reducing the amount of silicone oil entering the pipeline and thus preventing pipeline blockage caused by silicone oil discharge. An installation port is provided on the tank body, through which the oil-pushing component enters the containment space, enabling the oil-pushing component to push the silicone oil to move. The valve body then discharges the silicone oil from the tank body, reducing the failure rate of the gas sampling pipeline network and improving production efficiency.

[0029] 2. This utility model provides a storage device for defoamer, which effectively removes silicone oil from the upper part of the containing space, ensures that the defoamer is added to the pipeline normally, avoids pipeline blockage, avoids production abnormalities such as foam overflow caused by incomplete defoaming, improves the operating efficiency of the defoaming pump, reduces maintenance time and maintenance costs, and improves production efficiency, thus having good economic and practical value.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a storage device for an antifoaming agent includes:

[0046] The barrel body 1 is provided with a valve body 2, an installation port 4 and a cuboid-shaped receiving space 3. The valve body 2 is connected to the receiving space 3, and the installation port 4 is connected to the receiving space 3. The valve body 2 is located at the upper part of the barrel body 1, and the installation port 4 is located at the upper part of the barrel body 1.

[0047] The oil pushing assembly 5 is connected to the mounting port 4 and is used to push the silicone oil to the valve body 2.

[0048] The defoamer is stored in the containment space 3. Before using the defoamer, the silicone oil on top of the defoamer is pushed to the valve body 2 by the oil pushing component 5. The silicone oil is discharged from the containment space 3 by opening the valve body 2, reducing the amount of silicone oil entering the pipeline and thus preventing pipeline blockage caused by silicone oil discharge. An installation port 4 is provided on the barrel 1. The oil pushing component 5 enters the containment space 3 through the installation port 4, enabling the oil pushing component 5 to push the silicone oil to move. The valve body 2 discharges the silicone oil from the barrel 1, reducing the failure rate of the gas extraction pipeline network and improving production efficiency.

[0049] Within the containment space 3, silicone oil floats on top of the defoamer. Excessive silicone oil entering the gas extraction pipeline will clog the pipeline.

[0050] In one or more embodiments, the oil pushing assembly 5 includes a push plate 52 and a push rod 51. The push plate 52 is connected to the push rod 51, so that the push rod 51 can drive the push plate 52 to move. The push rod 51 is connected to the mounting port 4. The push plate 52 is located in the receiving space 3. The push plate 52 pushes the silicone oil to the valve body 2. By opening the valve body 2, the silicone oil is discharged from the valve body 2 into the receiving space 3, thereby preventing the silicone oil from entering the gas extraction pipeline.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the push rod 51 and the push plate 52 are detachably connected. By disassembling the push rod 51 and the push plate 52, they can be flexibly accessed. The push rod 51 and the push plate 52 are disassembled when storing the defoamer. The top of the barrel 1 has an opening 6, which communicates with the receiving space 3. The opening 6 is used to inject defoamer into the barrel 1. The push plate 52 can enter the receiving space 3 through the opening 6. The opening 6 is circular and is covered with a lid 8. When removing silicone oil, the push plate 52 is inserted into the receiving space 3 through the opening 6, and the push rod 51 enters the receiving space 3 through the mounting port 4. The push plate 51 and push plate 52 are assembled within the containment space. The maximum width of push plate 52 should be less than the diameter of opening 6 so that push plate 52 can fully enter the containment space 3. Push rod 51 is a straight rod and is slidably connected to mounting port 4 so that push plate 52 can move within containment space 3, thereby pushing silicone oil to valve body 2. Alternatively, push rod 51 is a pneumatic push rod 51 and is detachably connected to mounting port 4 so that pneumatic push rod 51 is fixed on barrel 1. By extending and retracting pneumatic push rod 51, push rod 51 can move within containment space 3, thereby pushing silicone oil to valve body 2 by push plate 52.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, a sleeve 53 is provided in the middle of the push plate 52. An internal thread is provided in the sleeve 53 and an external thread is provided at the end of the push rod 51. The external thread and the internal thread are adapted to each other, so that the push rod 51 and the push plate 52 can be quickly assembled and disassembled. The push rod 51 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 53, and the push rod 51 is connected to the push plate 52 by rotating the push rod 51.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the push plate 52 includes a rectangular filter screen, which can quickly push the silicone oil to the valve body 2. The rectangular filter screen is spaced apart from the side wall of the receiving space 3, and the length of the rectangular filter screen is less than the length of the receiving space 3 to avoid interference between the rectangular filter screen and the side wall of the receiving space 3 when the rectangular filter screen moves, so that the rectangular filter screen can move smoothly within the receiving space 3.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the rectangular filter screen is a 100-mesh stainless steel filter screen, which can push the silicone oil to valve body 2, and the defoamer can pass through the filter holes, reducing the disturbance to the defoamer.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the barrel 1 is provided with a cover plate 7, which can be detachably connected to the mounting port 4. When storing the defoamer, the push rod 51 is separated from the mounting port 4, and the cover plate 7 is placed on the mounting port 4 to seal the containing space 3, which facilitates the sealed storage of the defoamer.

[0056] In one or more embodiments, after the silicone oil precipitates from the defoamer, it will separate into layers and float on top of the defoamer, causing the defoamer liquid level to drop slightly. The height of the valve body 2 is the same as the height of the defoamer liquid level in the receiving space 3, so that the silicone oil can be discharged by the valve body 2. The height of the mounting port 4 is greater than the height of the defoamer liquid level to prevent the defoamer from flowing out of the mounting port 4 and to facilitate the installation of the push rod 51 and the push plate 52.

[0057] In one or more embodiments, the mounting port 4 and the valve body 2 are located on the same side of the barrel 1, or the mounting port 4 and the valve body 2 are located on opposite sides of the barrel 1. When the push plate 52 pushes the silicone oil, the silicone oil assembly moves closer to the valve body 2, thereby driving the silicone oil closer to the valve body 2.

[0058] In one or more embodiments, the valve body 2 includes a PVC ball valve, which is easy to control, has good sealing performance when closed, and can quickly discharge silicone oil when opened.

[0059] Specifically, the height of the barrel 1 is 100 centimeters, the level of the defoamer liquid filled in the barrel 1 is 90 centimeters above the ground, the valve body 2 is 90 centimeters above the ground, and the installation port 4 is 95 centimeters above the ground.

[0060] In this embodiment, a storage device for defoamer is provided. When storing the defoamer, both the cover plate 7 and the lid 8 are installed on the barrel body 1, forming a sealed space in the containing space 3 to prevent air from entering and thus avoid deterioration of the defoamer. When the defoamer needs to be used, the cover plate 7 and the lid 8 are removed, the valve body 2 is opened, the push plate 52 is inserted into the containing space 3 through the opening 6, and the push rod 51 is inserted into the containing space 3 through the mounting port 4. By rotating the push rod 51, the push rod 51 is firmly connected to the push plate 52, allowing the push plate 52 to enter the silicone oil and contact the surface of the defoamer. By pushing and pulling the push rod 51 by the operator, the silicone oil is moved to the valve body 2 and discharged through the valve body 2.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
