Description

Sectional type electromagnetic coupling separator for treating oilfield produced liquid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of multiphase separation of oil-gas gathering and transportation systems, and particularly relates to a sectional type electromagnetic coupling separator for treating oil field produced liquid.
Background
At present, most oil fields in China mainly adopt a mode of combining a gravity type three-phase separator and an electric dehydrator to carry out gas-liquid separation and crude oil demulsification. But as the oil field gradually enters the middle and later development stages, the water content of the produced liquid is increased rapidly, and the contents of asphaltene, colloid and paraffin in the produced substances are high; meanwhile, the emulsification of crude oil is seriously aggravated by the wide application of tertiary oil recovery technologies such as chemical flooding and the like, and great challenges are brought to oil-water separation. The traditional three-phase separator based on the gravity settling and electric dehydration principles is difficult to effectively break and separate crude oil emulsion with high emulsification degree, and the use of a subsequent electric dehydrator is seriously influenced.
The traditional electric dehydrator applies high voltage to a metal bare electrode, utilizes a polarization effect to promote water drops to approach each other, improves the collision frequency and strength of the water drops, strengthens coalescence of the water drops in oil, and has obvious effect on treating low-water-content crude oil emulsion. However, in the electric dehydrator, the electrostatic coalescence process and the gravity settling process of water droplets are performed simultaneously, and a laminar flow state needs to be maintained in order to ensure the separation effect, so that the volume of the treatment equipment is large, and the separation efficiency is difficult to further improve. Meanwhile, due to the high water content and high conductivity of the crude oil treated by the upstream gravity type three-phase separator, on one hand, the original volume of the electric dehydrator cannot meet the requirement of the retention time of the oil-water emulsion, and on the other hand, the electric field collapse phenomenon frequently occurs due to the use of a metal bare electrode, so that the safe and stable operation of the electric dehydrator cannot be ensured.
The gas-liquid multiphase flow widely exists in various mixing and transportation pipelines, the slug flow is positioned in the middle area of a multiphase flow pattern diagram, and various other multiphase flow pattern areas are bordered, so that the multiphase flow pattern is the most common flow pattern with the greatest harm in the oil-gas mixing and transportation process. Slug flow can have a very adverse effect on downstream separation and processing facilities. Conventional horizontal separator inlets often treat this flow pattern too coarsely or not.
According to the experimental research of oil-water separation of oil-containing seawater by utilizing an electromagnetic separation principle in 2003, Takeda et al in Japan act on an aqueous phase by electromagnetic force based on the difference of conductive properties between seawater and oil, so that the seawater generates buoyancy on oil drops, and the separation of the oil drops and the seawater is realized.
US7749459B2 discloses an electrostatic coalescing device placed at the inlet of a conventional gravity separator. The device is formed by casting tubular channels, flat electrodes and a transformer which are arranged along the flowing direction of fluid by epoxy resin. The device can efficiently process the crude oil with high water content without increasing the volume of the original separator, but the crude oil processed by the device still cannot meet the export requirement and needs further deep dehydration treatment. Chinese patent CN103849428A discloses a magnetic electric field emulsion breaker, which generates a magnetic field and an electric field along a metal pipeline, wherein a central electrode and an annular electrode fence in the form of an interlayer are connected with a power supply transformer through an electrode rod, the electrode is fixed on the top of the flanged metal pipe section through an insulating hanger, the metal pipe section is grounded, and the magnetic field is generated by an annular magnet located inside or outside the metal pipe section. The center electrode and the annular electrode bars of the device are bare metal electrodes, when the water content of the emulsion is higher or the voltage is higher, the electric field collapse effect caused by water drop chain conduction or dielectric breakdown can occur, the device is only suitable for the emulsion with lower water content, and the electric field intensity is limited.
In summary, aiming at the problems that the traditional three-phase separator has low oil-gas-water separation efficiency, the electrodes are easy to break down, the high-water-content crude oil emulsion cannot be efficiently treated, an accurate water layer monitoring system is not available, and the inlet often has too rough treatment or no treatment on the slug flow which is a harmful flow pattern, the invention needs to invent the high-efficiency separator which has obvious dehydration effect on the high-water-content and high-emulsion crude oil emulsion and high dehydration efficiency.

The separator tank body 1 is horizontally arranged, an oil-gas-water inlet is formed in the upper portion of one end of the separator tank body, and the oil-gas-water inlet pipe is composed of a horizontal straight pipe 2, an expanding pipe 3 and a declination bent pipe 4, wherein the cross section of the horizontal straight pipe 2 is circular, the expanding angle of the expanding pipe 3 is 10-20 degrees, the declination angle of the declination bent pipe 4 is 25-30 degrees, and the height of the declination bent pipe is 1.5-2 meters. Import baffle 5 is located the level setting under the entry rectifier tube export and is in on the internal side wall of jar, install gas outlet 7 behind the entry rectifier tube gas outlet below is provided with mist trap 6.

And the gas which is not discharged through the gas outlet 7 is less remained and is blocked by the vertical partition plate 9, so that the influence on the oil-water liquid level is avoided, and the stable and efficient operation of dehydration is ensured.
