Description

Device and method for coupling crude oil suspended matter removal and oil-water separation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and particularly relates to a device for coupling crude oil desalting and suspended matter removal and oil-water separation, and a method for removing suspended matter and separating oil from water by using the device.
Background
In recent years, with the trend of crude oil deterioration and heaviness strengthened, many crude oils contain a certain amount of suspended matters, which brings many problems to crude oil dehydration and desalination, oil-water separation and subsequent processing devices, and the main expression is as follows: (1) colloidal suspended matters in the crude oil are suspended in oil products, particularly in the crude oil in a flaky manner, so that the problems of equipment and pipelines flowing through the equipment, scaling of heating equipment, increase of system pressure drop and the like are easily caused; (2) the colloidal suspensions are not easy to be polarized in the traditional electric desalting process, so that the electric desalting effect is influenced, the salt content in the oil product subjected to electric desalting exceeds the standard, and the subsequent processing device is seriously corroded; (3) because colloid suspended matters are macromolecular substances, and the specific gravity of a plurality of suspended matters is in the range between oil and water, the colloid suspended matters are more suspended at an oil-water interface during oil-water separation, so that the oil-water separation interface is more turbid, the oil-water separation is difficult to realize, and the two separated phases are more seriously carried with each other; (4) the removal of these colloidal suspensions and the oil-water separation process are prone to filter clogging and coalescing material clogging by conventional methods (filtration, coalescing separation, etc.).
Crude oil in the prior art the pretreatment of crude oil in the prior art generally employs an electro-desalting process,
in the method, a small amount of water is firstly injected into the oil product to wash and dissolve the salts in the oil product, and then the oil-water separation is carried out by utilizing the electric desalting and dehydrating technology. At present, along with the quality of crude oil is more and more poor, the emulsification of oil is comparatively serious, and contains a large amount of suspended solids, leads to the not clear oil-water separation interface after the electric desalting dehydration, salt content index is unqualified, the oil water two-phase very serious scheduling problem of smuggleing mutually. Therefore, in order to achieve ideal effects of heavy and poor crude oil pretreatment (removal of suspended solids and oil-water separation (desalination)), new processes and equipment need to be developed to solve the problems of low oil-water separation efficiency, poor desalination effect, serious entrainment of oil-water phases and the like in the crude oil pretreatment process.
CN201310214820.6 proposes an electric desalting method and an electric desalting apparatus for crude oil, in which the first-stage electric desalting method for crude oil is to mix the crude oil to be desalted with a demulsifier without adding or adding only a small amount of washing water, then pour the mixture into an electric desalting tank at a proper temperature, further realize oil-water separation in the electric desalting tank, pass the separated oil through a filter located inside or outside the electric desalting tank to remove solid salt substances therein to obtain first-stage purified crude oil, and discharge the separated water after settling in the electric desalting tank. Due to the arrangement of the filter, solid salt substances in the crude oil do not need to be dissolved by using washing water any more, so that no washing water or only a small amount of washing water is added, the use amount of the washing water can be reduced or even cancelled, and the discharge amount of sewage is reduced. The method realizes the desalting and the de-solidification of the crude oil by the method of electric desalting and filtering, is inapplicable to heavy inferior crude oil and crude oil containing colloidal suspended matters, and has the problems of unqualified desalting index, easy blockage of filtering equipment and incomplete oil-water separation.
CN201280072453.4 proposes a filter device and a method for filtering suspensions, wherein the filter device has a pack of at least one recess plate and adjacent recess plates, said pack being between a fixed head piece and a movable end piece, the filter device having a suspension pipe for piping a first flow of suspension from the head piece into the pack, said suspension pipe extending through said pack to the end piece, wherein the filter device has a supply pipe for conveying a second flow pipe of the suspension into the suspension pipe, said connection supply pipe being connected to the end piece, wherein a filter cavity is formed between the recess plate and the adjacent recess plate, the recess plate and/or the adjacent recess plate having a recess, wherein the recess plate has a suspension conduit for conveying the suspension from the suspension pipe to the filter chamber, the filter device having at least one filter cloth for filtering solid components from the suspension. The principle of the method is that the suspended matters are filtered by adopting the principle of the filter cloth, and the problems that the filter cloth is easy to block and cannot be used for a long time still exist.
In conclusion, if the pretreatment of the heavy and poor crude oil is to achieve a good effect, the suspended matter removal and oil-water separation effects are very important, because the suspended matter existence affects the oil-water separation effect, and the water existence in the material also affects the suspended matter removal effect, the efficiency of dewatering or suspended matter removal is reduced no matter the suspended matter is removed or the water is removed first, therefore, new processes and equipment need to be developed, the suspended matter removal and dewatering efficiency is greatly improved, and the problems that the suspended matter removal in the traditional process is not easy to deal with, the filtering equipment is easy to block, the oil-water two phases are serious to carry with each other and the like are solved.

As will be understood by those skilled in the art, most of suspended matters in crude oil are lighter lipophilic substances, and most of the suspended matters enter a light-phase air flotation removal system along with a light phase, but because heavy inferior crude oil is seriously emulsified, an oil-water separation interface is unclear, and a small part of suspended matters enter a heavy phase, the suspended matters are removed from the light phase and the heavy phase; the method also considers the characteristic that suspended matters are easy to block the oil-water separation coalescence filler, adopts the filler in a free bulk non-fixed state, and enables the coalescence filler to move freely in a certain space in the oil-water separation process based on the buoyancy effect without blocking; the device of the invention utilizes the air flotation gas to remove suspended matters, mainly based on the dissolution characteristic of the gas in the liquid phase, after the air flotation gas is mixed with crude oil to be treated, micro bubbles of the gas are dispersed in the liquid, and the bubbles are adhered with the suspended matters and are adsorbed and attached by the filler of the air flotation removal section for removal. In general, the smaller porosity is beneficial to adhering and hanging more suspended matters, but the blockage and the pressure drop are easy to increase, and the larger porosity causes the penetration of the smaller suspended matters, so the removal is not thorough. In addition, the characteristics that the low-density bulk air-floating filler is easy to float and is not easy to block are utilized, so that the air-floating filler is in a floating state in an air-floating area, and the filler continuously moves and collides with each other in the process of adsorbing suspended matters, so that the suspended matters are uniformly attached to the inner surface and the outer surface of the filler to play a role in homogenization, and the air-floating filler is prevented from being blocked by the suspended matters and even blocked.
