Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil and gas field development and wastewater treatment technology, specifically relating to a system for treating produced water and recovering condensate oil from gas fields. Background Technology
[0002] In the development of gas fields, the treatment of produced water and the recovery of condensate are crucial aspects, directly impacting the economic benefits and environmental protection of gas field production. Currently, the main methods for treating produced water include reinjection, compliant discharge, and resource recovery. However, commonly used methods for condensate recovery, such as gravity separation and flotation, have significant drawbacks. Gravity separation is ineffective at separating small condensate droplets, leading to a large amount of condensate being discharged with the produced water, resulting in resource waste. While flotation can improve separation efficiency, it requires the addition of large amounts of chemical reagents, increasing treatment costs and potentially causing secondary pollution.
[0003] Traditional produced water treatment processes also face numerous challenges. Physical methods such as sedimentation and filtration are insufficient to effectively remove impurities such as fine suspended solids, colloids, and dissolved organic matter. If these impurities are not completely removed, they can clog the formation during reinjection, reducing injection efficiency and consequently affecting reservoir development. Chemical treatment methods, such as adding flocculants and bactericides, can remove some pollutants, but they introduce new chemical substances, leading to unstable produced water quality that fails to meet stringent reinjection standards.
[0004] As gas field development enters its mid-to-late stages, the volume of produced water continues to increase, and the water quality becomes increasingly complex. Produced water from gas fields typically has characteristics such as high content of petroleum-related substances, high content of suspended solids (SS), high content of organic matter (COD), and high mineralization. The treatment effect and capacity of traditional treatment technologies are no longer sufficient to meet actual needs.
[0005] Furthermore, traditional treatment processes are often complex, require large areas, and have high operating costs, limiting their application in space-constrained locations such as wellheads. In membrane treatment, although technologies such as ultrafiltration membranes demonstrate good separation performance, membrane fouling remains a bottleneck for their industrial application. Membrane fouling not only significantly reduces membrane flux, affecting treatment efficiency, but also generates waste liquid during chemical cleaning, increasing treatment costs and the risk of secondary pollution.

[0028] In summary, the system for gas field produced water treatment and condensate oil recovery provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: (1) The system forms a highly integrated gas field produced water treatment and condensate oil recovery system by sequentially connecting the raw water collection tank, the primary separation membrane device, the secondary separation membrane device, the integrated reactor, the tertiary separation membrane device and the product water tank. Combined with the automated control system, it realizes efficient separation of gas field produced water and recovery of condensate oil. At the same time, the multi-stage membrane separation process relies entirely on physical separation, without the need to add chemical reagents. The concentrate can be fully recycled and reused, constructing a low-energy-consumption cycle system that takes into account both "resource recovery and cost control". It significantly improves the recovery rate of condensate oil, reduces resource waste, and reduces the amount of chemical reagents used and operating costs.
[0029] (2) The raw water collection tank in this system achieves preliminary separation of floating oil and water through the floating oil collection device, which reduces the load on subsequent treatment. In addition, the guide plate inside the raw water collection tank promotes the aggregation of floating oil and improves the separation efficiency; at the same time, the raw water collection tank ensures the residence time of raw water, making the preliminary separation more complete and providing stable water quality conditions for subsequent treatment.
[0030] (3) This system is designed with a three-stage progressive separation process to address the multi-form distribution characteristics of condensate oil in produced water from gas fields, which consists of "surface floating oil + suspended oil + emulsified oil". This solves the problem that traditional single processes cannot fully recover the condensate oil. At the same time, through the three-stage gradient separation design, the system achieves "full-form interception" of condensate oil, significantly improving the recovery rate and resource utilization rate. It also ensures the stability and reliability of the treatment effect and effectively meets the treatment needs under different water quality conditions. The first-stage separation membrane device can initially remove most of the condensate oil and suspended solids in the produced water; the second-stage separation membrane device can further intercept residual condensate oil, improving the recovery rate; the third-stage separation membrane device can further remove residual condensate oil. The water treated by the integrated reactor undergoes deep purification to ensure that the water quality meets the standards. In addition, when traditional membrane methods recover condensate oil, the membrane flux is prone to a sharp drop due to oil adhesion, requiring frequent cleaning. In this system, the primary, secondary, and tertiary separation membrane units are all equipped with polyceramic membrane modules. Polyceramic membrane modules have excellent antifouling and oil resistance properties. Through the selection of polyceramic membrane modules and the optimization of operating parameters, a balance between "high rejection rate and low fouling rate" is achieved, effectively resolving the contradiction between "membrane fouling and oil retention". This ensures the stable operation and efficient separation of the separation membrane units in complex water conditions, thereby significantly improving the reliability and economy of the system.
[0031] (4) The integrated reactor in this system integrates functions such as acid-base adjustment, oxidation reaction and reaction parameter control. It can achieve comprehensive purification of produced water quality through real-time monitoring and precise control. At the same time, it uses a physical method of forced stirring combined with air aeration to remove iron ions, avoiding the introduction of chemical agents, achieving in-situ pollution-free treatment, and improving the quality of reinjected water.
[0032] (5) The product water tank in the system can store water that has been deeply purified and meets the standards. The water quality monitoring system installed inside the product water tank can monitor water quality indicators in real time, ensuring the stability of the reinjected water quality. In addition, if the water quality in the product water tank fluctuates, the water can be transported back to the integrated reactor for further treatment through the return pipeline until the water quality is stable and meets the standards. This not only improves the flexibility of the system, but also ensures the reliability of the reinjected water quality.
[0033] (6) The condensate collection tank in the system collects the concentrate retained by the primary and secondary separation membrane devices and the floating oil separated from the raw water collection tank into the condensate collection tank, realizing the centralized collection and subsequent treatment of condensate oil, avoiding the waste of condensate oil and environmental pollution, improving the resource recovery rate, and at the same time facilitating the recycling of condensate oil, enhancing the economy and sustainability of the system.
[0034] (7) The sludge thickening tank in the system can reduce the volume of sludge and reduce the cost of subsequent treatment. At the same time, the filter liquid generated during the thickening process is returned to the raw water collection tank for reprocessing, realizing the recycling of water resources and thus reducing the pressure of wastewater discharge on the environment.

[0050] The method of using this utility model is as follows: The produced water from the gas field to be treated enters the raw water collection tank 1 through the first inlet 11. The floating oil recovery device 12 inside the raw water collection tank 1 initially recovers the surface condensate oil and sends it to the condensate oil collection tank 7. The produced water, after initial filtration in the raw water collection tank 1, enters the primary separation membrane device 2 and the secondary separation membrane device 3 sequentially through the first inlet pump 16 for cross-flow filtration. The retained concentrate is input into the condensate oil collection tank 7 through the fifth pipeline 24. The effluent from the secondary separation membrane device 3 is input into the integrated reactor 4 through the second pipeline 44. Under the synergistic effect of stirring, aeration, and automatic acid / alkali addition, iron ion oxidation, suspended solids flocculation, and pH adjustment are completed. After the integrated reactor… The sludge generated after treatment by reactor 4 is discharged into sludge thickening tank 8 through the first sludge discharge port 410. The filtrate obtained after treatment by sludge compression tank is returned to raw water collection tank 1 for recycling through the fourth product water port 82 and the third pipeline 83. The effluent from integrated reactor 4 is sent to the three-stage separation membrane device 5 for deep purification by the second inlet pump 42. The concentrate obtained after treatment by the three-stage separation membrane device 5 is returned to raw water collection tank 1 through the seventh pipeline 55 for continued recycling. The effluent obtained after treatment by the three-stage separation membrane device 5 is stored in product water tank 6. When the online water quality monitor detects fluctuations in the water quality in product water tank 6, it is returned to integrated reactor 4 for further treatment through return pipeline 64.
