The upper sleeve structure 1 comprises an upper outer pipe 11 and an upper inner pipe 12 which are horizontally arranged, and can realize further fine separation of gas and liquid after preliminary separation of the middle sleeve structure 2. Wherein, one end of the upper inner tube 12 corresponding to the oil phase outlet 25 is provided with a gas phase outlet 15. The end of the upper sleeve structure 1 corresponding to the liquid inlet 4 can be sealed by a blind plate, or can be communicated to the middle sleeve structure 2 through the first vertical pipe 51. The top of the upper inner pipe 12 is provided with a first inlet 13 into which the separated gas phase flows. Preferably, the upper outer tube 11 and the upper inner tube 12 are eccentrically arranged, and the gap at the upper part between the upper outer tube 11 and the upper inner tube 12 is smaller than the gap at the lower part, so that the effect of the shallow pool separation theory is enhanced, and the efficiency and index of gas-liquid separation are improved.

Typically, when the volumetric air content is not higher than 30% under the working conditions, the number of first risers 51 is 6, the horizontal spacing is 1m, and the inclination angle α is 30 °.
Preferably, the bottom of the middle outer tube 21 and the top of the lower outer tube 31 are in communication via a plurality of vertically disposed second risers 52.

Typically, the number of second risers 52 is 6 to 12 and the pitch is 1m to 1.8m. Typically, the number of second risers 52 is 6 and the spacing is 1m when the volumetric water content in the liquid phase at the inlet is not higher than 60%.
In other embodiments, the second riser 52 may also be inclined, and the flow field configuration may be optimized to reduce flow resistance. However, the effect of the second riser 52 being provided as an inclined riser in the oil-water separation is small relative to the effect of the first riser 51 being provided as an inclined riser in the gas-liquid separation, and the cost of processing is increased.

In some embodiments, the first regulator valve 61 and the liquid collection chamber 71 may be sequentially installed on the gas phase outlet line of the multi-layered bifurcation line separation device. The return line 72 may communicate the liquid collection chamber 71 with the outlet of the second regulating valve 62 to drain the liquid accumulated in the liquid collection chamber 71, so as to avoid the area in the liquid collection chamber 71 becoming a flow dead zone, which affects the implementation of the liquid level control method.

When the liquid collecting chamber 71 and the return line 72 are provided in the pipe-type oil-gas-water separation system, correspondingly, the system further includes, after step S1:
s2, when the gas phase separated by the multi-layer bifurcation pipeline separation device flows to the liquid collecting cavity 71 through the gas phase outlet pipeline, the liquid collecting cavity 71 collects the liquid carried in the gas phase, and the carried liquid flows into the oil phase outlet pipeline through the return pipeline 72 and flows out.
Preferably, the flow rates of the corresponding pipelines can be regulated through the first regulating valve 61, the second regulating valve 62, the third regulating valve 63 and the fourth regulating valve 64, so that the water content in the separated gas, the water content in the oil and the oil content in the water can be below preset standards. In a preferred embodiment, the automatic control of the operation of the pipeline type oil-gas-water separation system can be realized by the following steps, and the method further comprises the following steps before the step S1:
s0, opening a first regulating valve 61 on a gas phase outlet pipeline of the upper inner pipe 12, a second regulating valve 62 on an oil phase outlet pipeline of the middle inner pipe 22 and a third regulating valve 63 on a water phase outlet pipeline of the lower inner pipe 32 to a fully opened position, and opening a fourth regulating valve 64 on a return pipeline 72 to a fully closed position;
after step S2, it includes:
s3, measuring the liquid level in the liquid collecting cavity 71 in real time through a liquid level detector 81 arranged in the liquid collecting cavity 71, and controlling the liquid level to be within a preset value H1; transmitting signals measured by the liquid level detector 81 to the first regulating valve 61 and the fourth regulating valve 64, and when the liquid level measured by the liquid level detector 81 is higher than a preset value H1, regulating the fourth regulating valve 64 and regulating the first regulating valve 61;
s4, measuring the oil content in the water phase outlet pipeline in real time through an oil content analyzer 82 arranged on the water phase outlet pipeline of the lower inner pipe 32, and controlling the oil content to be within a preset value H2; the signal measured by the oil content analyzer 82 is transmitted to the second regulating valve 62 and the third regulating valve 63, and when the oil content measured by the oil content analyzer (82) is higher than a preset value H2, the second regulating valve 62 is turned up and the third regulating valve 63 is turned down.
The steps S0-S4 can realize complete automatic separation of oil, gas and water, industrial application is easy to realize, the volume liquid content in the separated gas is less than 0.5%, the volume water content in the oil is less than 1.0%, and the oil content in the water is less than 30mg/L. Of course, in practice, the preset values of the volume liquid content in gas, the volume liquid content in oil and the oil content in water can be appropriately adjusted according to the needs, and the volume liquid content in gas, the volume liquid content in oil and the oil content in water after separation are controlled below preset standards.
Preferably, the adjustment of the valve opening amounts of the first adjustment valve 61, the second adjustment valve 62, the third adjustment valve 63, and the fourth adjustment valve 64 in the above steps may be set to stepless fine adjustment. In other embodiments, if the first, second, third, and fourth regulating valves 61, 62, 63, 64 are manual regulating valves, manual regulation is required.
In step S3, when the liquid level is higher than the preset value H1, the first adjusting valve 61 is turned down, so as to achieve the preset gas-liquid separation effect; the fourth regulating valve 64 is enlarged, so that the return of the control signal can be realized, and the stable separation can be realized. In addition, when the liquid content in the gas phase outlet line (liquid content in the gas) is low, only the first regulating valve 61 or the fourth regulating valve 64 may be independently regulated when the liquid level is higher than the preset value H1. However, when the gas content suddenly increases, the first adjustment valve 61 and the fourth adjustment valve 64 need to be simultaneously adjusted in order to quickly reduce the gas content. Similarly, in step S4, when the oil content (oil content in water) in the aqueous phase outlet line is low, only the second regulating valve 62 or the third regulating valve 63 may be independently regulated when the oil content is higher than the preset value H2. However, when the oil content in water suddenly increases, the second control valve 62 and the third control valve 63 need to be simultaneously controlled in order to quickly reduce the oil content in water.
Furthermore, as can be seen from fig. 1, if only the second regulating valve 62 installed in the oil phase outlet pipe is independently regulated, the other valves are not moved, the oil content in the water is reduced, and the liquid level in the liquid collecting chamber is lowered. This operation may also be one of the conditions when setting up the valve linkage adjustment.
It will be appreciated that the above technical features may be used in any combination without limitation.
The foregoing examples only illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention, which are described in more detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention; it should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention; therefore, all changes and modifications that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
