Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and particularly relates to a device for removing suspended matters in oil products and a method for removing the suspended matters by using the device.
Background
The crude oil contains water and salts such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and the like, in order to not influence the processing of the crude oil, the crude oil is desalted and dehydrated in the first step before entering a factory for processing, so that the water content is 0.1-0.2 percent, and the salt content is less than 5mg/L, but the requirements of the refinery with residual oil hydrogenation or heavy oil cracking are stricter, the salt content in the crude oil is less than 3mg/L, and along with the enhancement of the trend of crude oil deterioration and heaviness, more crude oil contains a certain amount of colloid suspended matters, so that more problems are brought to the dehydration and desalination process of the crude oil and subsequent processing devices, and the main performance is as follows: (1) colloidal suspended matters in the crude oil are suspended in oil products in a flaky manner, so that the flowing equipment and pipelines are easily blocked; (2) the colloid suspended matters are not easy to be polarized in the traditional electric desalting process, so that the oil-water separation is difficult to realize, the oil-water separation is incomplete, and the two phases are seriously carried with each other; (3) the removal of these colloidal suspensions is highly likely to cause filter clogging using conventional filtration methods. In short, because of the existence of colloidal suspended matters, after the raw oil is subjected to electric desalting by the traditional method, the colloidal suspended matters are very unfavorable in oil products and sewage, and need to be removed and then subjected to oil-water separation.
In the prior art, crude oil pretreatment adopts an electric desalting and dewatering method, and a process and equipment for removing colloid suspended matters are not arranged, so that the method has the following problems: (1) colloid suspended matters cannot be removed in the electric desalting process, cannot be settled and separated, cannot be polarized by an electric field, influence the desalting effect, and are the main reasons for the unqualified salt content index in the desalted crude oil; (2) the colloid suspended substance is an oil substance with light density but is insoluble in water, so that the oil-water separation effect is influenced in the oil-water separation process, the oil-water two phases are very seriously carried with each other, and the water content in the oil product is higher. Therefore, if the oil product is desalted or dehydrated with good effect, new process and equipment need to be developed to remove suspended matters from the oil product, so as to solve the problems of poor desalting effect, serious mutual entrainment of oil and water phases and the like in the desalting and dehydrating process of the oil product.
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.
CN201810070840.3 proposes a method and a system for zero discharge of salt-containing wastewater, wherein the method comprises the steps of further removing hardness and silicon from colloid removed from suspended matters by a lime-soda softening method and dissolved air flotation filtration; removing hardness by ion exchange depth; adopts advanced oxidation and high-salt microbial biological combined technology to further reduce COD and NO by adopting RO concentrated water advanced treatment3And NF membrane salt separation process; concentrating and separating salt by adopting a constant-temperature evaporative crystallization process through a multi-effect MVR, wherein concentrated water discharged by the MVR is introduced into a catalytic oxidation membrane or an NF membrane or is completely introduced into mixed salt MVR to produce mixed salt; mother liquor of the MVR device is discharged and enters a low-temperature freezing method to produce mirabilite in an increasing way to eliminate COD interference, and the freezing liquid is subjected to advanced oxidation to eliminate COD of the mother liquor discharged from the crystallization device. In the method, the traditional dissolved air flotation filtration mode is still adopted in the suspended matter removal process, and the mode has the problems of poor suspended matter removal effect, easy blockage of filtration equipment, incapability of long-term operation and the like.
In conclusion, the development of the method for removing suspended matters has great significance for solving the problems of poor desalting effect, blockage of filtering equipment, serious mutual entrainment of oil and water phases and the like in the oil product desalting and dewatering process.
