Background Technology
[0002] Oil-water separation is a common process in the production of petrochemicals, fine chemicals, and other industries. Oil-water separators, as a type of equipment used for oil-water separation, are widely used in chemical production and wastewater treatment. Their main function is to separate water-insoluble and relatively light oils or other organic substances from the water.
[0003] However, conventional oil-water separators use static separation, and then use an oil skimmer to scrape the oil layer floating on the water to other parts to complete the oil-water separation and then recover the material. This not only has poor separation effect, but also consumes too much time and reduces separation efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, existing oil-water separation devices suffer from drawbacks such as high equipment investment, low separation efficiency, and large space occupation, which greatly increases the production costs of enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1 See Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a continuous stratified oil separator, which includes a rectangular parallelepiped body 1, an inlet 1-1 located on one side of the upper part of the body 1, and a water phase outlet 9 located on the lower part of the other side of the body 1. The body 1 is divided into multiple separation chambers 2 by multiple partitions 3 (the number of separation chambers 2 can be increased according to process requirements; in this embodiment, there are 4 separation chambers 2). An oil phase chamber 7 and a water phase chamber 8 are located on one side of each separation chamber 2. Each separation chamber 2 and the water phase chamber 8 are connected to the oil phase chamber 7 via pipes. One end of each partition 3 contacts the inner wall of the body 1 (in this embodiment, the partition is a thin rectangular parallelepiped, with its long side contacting the top and bottom plates of the body, and one end of its short side contacting the side plate of the body). A drain outlet 4 is located at the other end near the inner wall of the body 1. The drain outlets 4 on any two adjacent partitions 3 are staggered, allowing material in a single separation chamber to flow to an adjacent chamber through the drain outlet. Figure 1 The north and south are marked in the middle. The drain port 4 on the first separation chamber 2 is located at the south end, the drain port 4 on the second separation chamber 2 is located at the north end, the drain port 4 on the third separation chamber 2 is located at the south end, and the drain port 4 on the fourth separation chamber 2 is located at the north end. The fourth separation chamber 2 is adjacent to the aqueous phase chamber 8.
[0027] Both the upper part of the outer side of the individual separation chamber 2 and the aqueous phase chamber 8 are provided with oil drain ports 5. The oil phase material is collected in the oil phase chamber 7 through the oil drain ports 5 and the pipeline. The oil phase chamber 7 is provided with an oil phase inlet 7-4. A valve can also be provided on the oil drain port 5 (this is a conventional solution and is not shown in the figure) to facilitate observation of the start of oil discharge after oil-water separation.
[0028] A sight glass port 6 is also provided on the upper part of the outer side of the individual separation chamber 2 and the aqueous phase chamber 8.
[0029] The oil phase chamber 7 can be located at any position. In this embodiment, a separate chamber is created in the aqueous phase chamber 8 by means of the second partition 3-1 to serve as the oil phase chamber 7.
[0030] The upper part of the outer side of the aqueous phase chamber 8 is provided with a first liquid level gauge port 8-1, and the lower part is provided with a second liquid level gauge port 8-2.
[0031] The upper part of the outer side of the oil phase chamber 7 is provided with a third liquid level gauge port 7-1, and the lower part is provided with a fourth liquid level gauge port 7-2. The lower part of the outer side of the oil phase chamber 7 is provided with an oil phase outlet port 10 and a drain port 7-3.
[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The oil-water mixture is injected from the feed inlet 1-1 and flows from north to south in the first separation chamber 2. It then enters the adjacent separation chamber 2 through the drain port 4 on the partition 3, flowing from south to north, and so on, until it enters the aqueous phase chamber 8.
[0033] The oil phase material in the upper part of the separation chamber 2 flows out from the oil outlet 5, collects through the corresponding pipes, enters the oil phase chamber 7 from the oil phase inlet 7-4, and is finally discharged from the oil phase outlet 10; the water phase material collects into the water phase chamber 8 and is finally discharged from the water phase outlet 9.
[0034] Each separation chamber 2 is also equipped with a sight glass 6 for observing the oil-water interface.
[0035] The outer side of the water phase chamber 8 is provided with a first liquid level gauge port 8-1 and a second liquid level gauge port 8-2, and the outer side of the oil phase chamber 7 is provided with a third liquid level gauge port 7-1 and a fourth liquid level gauge port 7-2, for observing the liquid level of the oil separator.
[0036] The oil phase chamber 7 is also equipped with a drain outlet 7-3.
[0037] As can be seen, the continuous stratification oil separator provided by this utility model allows the oil-water mixture to flow slowly in each chamber, resulting in complete stratification of oil and water. The oil phase is collected through the oil outlet of each chamber and finally discharged into the oil phase chamber; the water phase flows to the water phase chamber and is discharged through the water phase outlet, thus achieving continuous separation of light and heavy components of the material in a closed environment.

This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
