Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oily wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to an oily wastewater separation device. Background Technology
[0002] During the production process, petrochemical plants inevitably experience leaks and spills, which generate pollutants. Additionally, rainwater and wastewater may be discharged from the plant boundary during rain, entering the wastewater treatment system, the external environment, or collection ponds.
[0003] The current standard practice involves installing separate valve wells for clean and wastewater at the outlet of the factory's wastewater discharge network. Two independent valves are used, one open and one closed, and the valves are manually operated. Typically, rainwater within 15 minutes is diverted into the wastewater system, and after 15 minutes, it is diverted to the clean water system. In case of leaks or emergency response, the clean water valve is closed while the wastewater valve is left open, allowing the wastewater to flow into the wastewater system for further treatment. However, this method has several problems, such as: the actual rainfall amount cannot be determined before it rains, especially in dry northern regions, where rain often stops before all valves are fully opened, causing operational inconvenience; some on-site personnel may take chances and fail to open or close valves promptly when rainfall suddenly increases, resulting in a large amount of clean water mixing into the wastewater system later, increasing the wastewater volume; valves may be switched to clean water too early, allowing oily wastewater to flow into the system and contaminate the clean water system; in case of leaks, large amounts of oil may flow out, and failure to close the clean water valve in time can cause oil to enter the clean water system and be discharged into the external environment.

[0027] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses an oil-water wastewater separation device, which is mainly used for separating wastewater (such as oily wastewater) with a lower density than clean water. It includes an inlet device 1, a main body 2, a water seal 3, a wastewater discharge device 4, and a clean water discharge device 5. One end of the inlet device 1 receives the oil-water mixture from the outside, and the other end passes through the main body 2 and is located inside the main body 2. The water seal 3 is also located inside the main body 2. The wastewater discharge device 4 and the clean water discharge device 5 are located on opposite sides of the main body 2, and each of them has one end passing through the main body 2 and located inside the main body 2, and the other end is located outside the main body 2.
[0029] The liquid inlet device 1 includes a first liquid inlet pipe 11, a buffer filter tank 12, and a second liquid inlet pipe 13. One end of the first liquid inlet pipe 11 receives the oil-water mixture from the outside, and the other end passes through the buffer filter tank 12 and is located inside the buffer filter tank 12. One end of the second liquid inlet pipe 13 is connected to the side of the buffer filter tank 12 away from the first liquid inlet pipe 11, and a filter screen 14 is provided at the connection. The other end of the second liquid inlet pipe 13 passes through the main body 2 and is located inside the main body 2.
[0030] The height of the buffer filter tank 12 is less than 1m, which facilitates the cleaning of the sediment in the sedimentation layer 121. The bottom of the buffer filter tank 12 is provided with a sedimentation layer 121, and the height of the sedimentation layer 121 is lower than the height of the filter screen 14. The outlet of the first liquid inlet pipe 11 is located inside the sedimentation layer 121 and does not contact the bottom of the sedimentation layer 121.
[0031] The main body 2 includes a separating tank 21, a water injection pipe 22, and a vent pipe 23. The water injection pipe 22 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the separating tank 21, with one end of the water injection pipe 22 located on the outside of the separating tank 21 and the other end close to the bottom surface inside the separating tank 21. Similarly, the vent pipe 23 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the separating tank 21, with one end of the vent pipe 23 located on the outside of the separating tank 21 and the other end located at the top of the inside of the separating tank 21.
[0032] The water seal 3 is used to separate clean water from other liquids, and the water seal 3 is located below the end of the second inlet pipe 13 away from the buffer filter tank 12. The water seal 3 is horizontally set inside the separator tank 21.
[0033] The wastewater discharge device 4 includes a first discharge pipe 41 and a wastewater float 42. The first discharge pipe 41 includes an inlet pipe 411 and a discharge pipe 412. The inlet pipe 411 is located inside the separator 21 and passes vertically through the water seal 3. One end of the inlet pipe 411 is connected to the discharge pipe 412, and the other end is provided with a first blocking net 44. A wastewater control port 43 is provided at the position where the inlet pipe 411 and the discharge pipe 412 are connected. The wastewater float 42 is located inside the inlet pipe 411. An inlet net 45 is provided on the side of the inlet pipe 411 near the second inlet. One end of the inlet net 45 is connected to the discharge pipe 412, and the other end passes through the water seal 3 and is located below the water seal 3.
[0034] The clean water discharge device 5 includes a first drain pipe 51 and a clean water float 52. The first drain pipe 51 includes an inlet pipe 511 and a drain pipe 512. One end of the inlet pipe 511 is connected to the drain pipe 512, and the other end is provided with a clean water control port 53. It is located inside the separator 21 and passes vertically through the water seal 3. The clean water float 52 is located inside the inlet pipe 511. The horizontal part of the drain pipe 512 is provided with a second blocking net 54 inside and a shut-off valve 55 outside.
[0035] The horizontal height of the lowest side of the first drain pipe 41 is not lower than the horizontal height of the highest side of the first drain pipe 51, and the lowest side of the first drain pipe 51 is level with the water seal 3.
[0036] Both the sludge float 42 and the clean water float 52 are conical rubber plugs, which ensure that the sludge float 42 and the clean water float 52 fit tightly with the water outlet and the sludge control port 43 and the clean water control port 53. The sludge float 42 and the clean water float 52 are divided into three sections. The part closest to the sludge control port 43 and the clean water control port 53 plays a guiding role, the middle part plays a sealing role, and the last part plays a buoyancy role. Furthermore, the bottom surfaces of the sludge float 42 and the clean water float 52 are far away from the sludge control port 43 and the clean water control port 53, respectively. The density of the sludge float 42 and the clean water float 52 is less than the density of clean water, but greater than the density of oily sludge. Moreover, the required suspension height can be achieved by adjusting the counterweight.
[0037] During operation, in this embodiment, the horizontal height of the lowest side of the horizontal part of the first drain pipe 41 is the same as the horizontal height of the highest side of the horizontal part of the first drain pipe 51. The mixed liquid enters the buffer filter tank 12 through the first inlet pipe 11. The sediment in the mixed liquid either settles naturally into the sedimentation layer 121 or is blocked by the filter screen 14 and falls into the sedimentation layer 121. Then the mixed liquid enters the separatory tank 21 through the second inlet pipe 13. The mixed liquid is separated at the water seal 3. The clean water falls below through the water seal 3, and the dirty liquid remains above the water seal 3 and enters the first drain pipe 41 through the inlet screen 45 for discharge. The clean water below is discharged through the first drain pipe 51.
[0038] Because the bottom of the horizontal section of the first drain pipe 41 is level with the top of the horizontal section of the first drain pipe 51, according to the principle of communicating vessels, clean water will not enter the drain pipe 412. When the clean water level rises rapidly, it will push the sewage float 42 and the clean water float 52 at the same time. The sewage float 42 and the sewage control port 43 squeeze each other to prevent clean water from entering the drain pipe 412. The clean water float 52 leaves the clean water control port 53 to allow clean water to enter the first drain pipe 51. The sewage enters the inlet pipe 411 through the part of the inlet net 45 located above the water seal 3 and is discharged through the drain pipe 412.
[0039] When a large amount of sewage enters in a short period of time or the water seal 3 fails, the sewage will mix with the clean water under the water seal 3, forming a mixture whose density is lower than that of the clean water. This mixture cannot float the sewage float 42 and the clean water float 52. At this time, the sewage float 42 and the clean water float 52 descend, and the clean water float 52 and the clean water control port 53 squeeze each other to prevent the mixture from entering the first drain pipe 51. The mixture enters the first drain pipe 41 through the liquid inlet net and is discharged through the first drain pipe 41.
[0040] After the oil and wastewater are separated, a small amount of waste liquid may remain in the device. At this time, close the shut-off valve 55 and inject clean water into the separator 21 through the water injection pipe 22. The small amount of waste liquid remaining in the device is discharged through the waste liquid discharge device 4 by injecting clean water, so that only clean water remains in the device.
[0041] Therefore, this utility model adopts an oil-water wastewater separation device with the above-mentioned structure. It designs a wastewater float and a clean water float based on the density principle and combines them with the principle of communicating vessels to achieve the separation of oil and wastewater. It does not require external energy consumption and meets the requirements of energy saving, low carbon and environmental protection under the background of "dual carbon".
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
