At present, the emulsion dehydration treatment method includes a physical method, a chemical method, a biological method and the like, wherein the most common treatment method is the physical method, and the physical method comprises an electric field method, a rotational flow centrifugation method, a gravity sedimentation method, a vacuum heating method and the like.
However, it is difficult to effectively perform emulsion breaking and dewatering treatment on the emulsion by using a single treatment method, such as: the electric field method is that emulsion is placed in a high-voltage alternating current or direct current electric field, the strength of an interfacial film of the emulsion is reduced by utilizing the action of the electric field on water drops, the water drops are promoted to collide and merge into large-particle water drops, and thus the water phase and the oil phase are separated; however, as the water content of the emulsion increases, the difficulty of establishing a certain electric field strength between electrodes in the emulsion increases, so that the electric field method has certain limitation. The cyclone separation method is that the emulsion rotates at high speed, and different centrifugal forces are generated by utilizing different densities of an oil phase and a water phase, so that the separation of the water phase and the oil phase is realized; although the centrifuge can make the emulsion reach higher rotation speed, the maintenance is difficult, so the existing rotational flow centrifugation method mostly adopts a hydraulic cyclone, and utilizes the hydraulic spin to separate the water phase from the oil phase, but the rotation speed of the hydraulic spin is lower than that provided by the centrifuge, so the separation effect is poor.
At present, a better separation effect is obtained by adopting a plurality of treatment methods for combined treatment or adopting a coupling integrated unit for treatment, wherein a common mode of combining an electric field method and a cyclone centrifugal method is that an electric field and a cyclone centrifugal field are coupled and are complemented with each other, so that the effects of enlarging the particle size of liquid drops and quickly and effectively separating the liquid drops are realized, and the emulsion breaking and dewatering efficiency of the emulsion is greatly improved.

Furthermore, on the axial section of the cyclone chamber, the inner wall of the smooth transition pipe section comprises a convex arc transition section and a concave arc transition section, the inner diameter of the convex arc transition section is gradually reduced, the large diameter end of the convex arc transition section is tangent to the cyclone chamber, the small diameter end of the convex arc transition section is tangent to the large diameter end of the concave arc transition section, and the small diameter end of the concave arc transition section is tangent to the inner wall of the underflow pipe.
Thus, the convex arc transition section and the concave arc transition section are connected in a tangent and smooth manner to form a smooth transition pipe section, the axial radius of the convex arc transition section area is increased, the pressure gradient is increased, and the pressure drop is reduced, so that the radial pressure gradient force towards the axis of the emulsion in a flow field is increased, the energy consumption loss is reduced, more energy is used for emulsion breaking and dehydration of the emulsion, and the separation of an oil phase and a water phase is facilitated; meanwhile, a double-arc connection structure is adopted, so that the emulsion has a larger tangential speed in a smooth transition pipe section, under the condition of larger particle size, the centrifugal force borne by water drops is increased, the water drops are promoted to migrate to the wall surface, and oil moves to the axis under the action of pressure gradient force, so that the separation of an oil phase and a water phase is facilitated; in addition, a double-arc connection structure is adopted, so that a larger vortex amount is possessed in an axis region, a stable vortex core is easily formed, stable collection of oil liquid at the axis is facilitated, liquid with higher oil content flows out of an overflow pipe under the action of a larger axial speed, liquid with higher water content is collected near an underflow pipe, and the oil-water separation performance of the device is improved.
Further, the number of the inlet pipes is two, and the two inlet pipes are symmetrical with respect to the axis center of the cyclone chamber.
Like this, during the implementation, be used for carrying the oil feed pipe of emulsion respectively with two inlet tubes intercommunications through a three-way pipe, guarantee that the flow of two inlet tubes is unanimous, make the indoor stable and fast-speed vortex of forming of whirl fast, do benefit to the separation of oil phase and aqueous phase.
Further, half of the overflow pipe is positioned in the cyclone chamber, and the inlet pipe and the overflow pipe are in the following positional relation:
L w =L s /2-D t (1-1)
wherein L is w The distance between one side of the inlet pipe close to the convex arc transition section and one end of the overflow pipe in the cyclone chamber on the axis of the cyclone chamber is L s The length of the overflow pipe is 65-75mm t Is the diameter of the inlet pipe and takes the value of 10-14 mm.

Further, the sphere radius of the concave arc transition section and the sphere radius of the convex arc transition section satisfy the following relation:
Figure GDA0003908141230000031
