Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of aging oil treatment, and particularly relates to a method for treating aging oil by a microwave method.
Background
The aged oil is crude oil sludge or ground oil with strong conductivity and difficult electrochemical demulsification, contains a large amount of colloids and asphaltenes, has similar components with heavy oil components and higher content percentage, and has higher viscosity, poorer fluidity, higher solidifying point, higher density and extremely high demulsification difficulty due to the clay, FeS, naphthenic acid substances and some mechanical impurity particles contained in the aged oil, and the processing difficulty is higher than that of common heavy oil. On the other hand, because the aging oil in the oil field production process is difficult to treat, the aging oil can only be transferred into the production system for later treatment in order to not affect the whole production system, and a large amount of aging oil is accumulated. The problem is more serious in offshore oil fields, aging oil occupies a large amount of cabin space, the space of an oil storage cabin is reduced, and the capacity of the offshore oil field for dealing with process impact is greatly reduced. In addition, a large amount of aging oil is accumulated and cannot be effectively utilized, so that the waste of resources is caused.
At present, the domestic treatment method of the aging oil generally takes a thermochemical method, a centrifugal treatment method, a sedimentation method, an ultrasonic method, a microbial treatment method and an electric dehydration method as main methods, but the treatment methods all have the problems of large occupied area, long treatment period, substandard oil phase water content after treatment, poor applicability to different types of aging oil and the like.

The method has the problems of long treatment time, large medicament dosage, low sedimentation dehydration rate, incomplete treatment of the aging oil and the like.
CN107090305A discloses a method for recovering and treating aging oil in an oil field, which comprises the steps of adding the aging oil to be treated and a demulsifier into a reaction tank, heating and keeping the temperature constant, then starting an ultrasonic generator to transfer the treated mixed liquid into a settling tank, and standing at the constant temperature until three phases of oil, water and mud are layered. The method combines ultrasonic treatment process with foamed metal, strengthens ultrasonic cavitation, and accelerates demulsification process. The method has the problems of large dosage, high energy consumption, low dehydration rate and the like.
CN207330856U discloses an aging oil treatment method, which comprises a microwave heating device, an ultrasonic reaction device, a lift pump, a centrifuge and the like which are connected in sequence; can realize the stable and high-efficiency treatment of the aging oil without other auxiliary equipment, and effectively remove water and solid impurities in the aging oil. The method has the problems of high equipment investment cost, large occupied area, low aging oil treatment capacity, difficult control of process flow and the like.

The method for treating the aging oil has the problems of harsh strain culture conditions, difficult control of a biological desulfurization reactor, low aging oil treatment efficiency and the like.
