Description

  The present invention relates to an oil separation tank for separating wastewater containing oil into oil and water. In particular, even when the flow rate of wastewater is increased, the oil content in the wastewater can be reliably separated with a simple configuration. It relates to an oil separation tank.

  In a thermal power plant, fuel oil such as heavy oil stored in an oil tank is once supplied to an oil tank yard and then supplied to a boiler for power generation. Since the oil from the oil tank contains water, wastewater containing a large amount of oil is collected at the bottom in the oil tank yard. Therefore, in the oil tank yard, water containing a large amount of oil collected in the lower part is separated into oil and water by the oil separation tank, and only the separated water is discharged to the outside as waste water.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a conventional oil separation tank used in an oil tank yard of a thermal power plant. The oil separation tank 1 has a tank body 2 for storing the waste water W discharged from the upstream drain pipe 5. The inner side of the tank body 2 is divided into a first ridge M1, a second ridge M2, and a third ridge M3 by a first partition 3 and a second partition 4. The waste water W from the drain pipe 5 is first discharged to the first trough M1, and then flows into the second trough M2 through the lower part of the partition wall 3. Then, the waste water W that has flowed into the second trough M2 flows into the third trough M3 beyond the upper end of the partition wall 4, and then the drainage W on the bottom side of the third trough M3 uses the siphon phenomenon. It is discharged outside through the drain pipe 6 on the downstream side.

  Conventionally, a technique for separating oil using a specific gravity difference of water to be treated has been known (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2). In the oil separation tank of this Patent Document 1, a porous member for adjusting the flow of water to be treated is provided in the oil separation tank. The oil separation tank of Patent Document 2 is provided with a rotatable belt-like porous member that regulates the flow of water to be treated in the oil separation tank, and oil and the like attached to the porous member can be recovered above the water surface. It has become.

  However, in the conventional oil separation tank 1 shown in FIG. 7, when the flow rate of the drainage W discharged from the upstream drainage pipe 5 increases, the flow rate of the drainage W when discharged from the discharge pipe 5 becomes faster. The drainage W of the first tank M1 containing a large amount of oil flows into the second tank M2 via the lower part of the first partition wall 3, and an event occurs in which the oil component floats on the second bottle M2. Thus, conventionally, when the flow rate of the waste water W from the drain pipe 5 increases, the oil content in the first trough M1 is not reliably separated, and the problem that the ability to separate the water and the oil content decreases. is there. Therefore, it is desired to develop an oil separation tank that can reliably separate water and oil even when the flow rate of the waste water W increases.

  In the oil separation tanks of Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is necessary to provide a porous member in the oil separation tank, and power equipment for driving the porous member is required, so that the apparatus becomes complicated and the cost increases. There's a problem.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an oil separation tank capable of reliably separating oil in drainage with a simple configuration even when the flow rate of drainage is increased.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 has a plurality of communicable troughs partitioned by a partition wall, and uses each of the troughs mixed with wastewater discharged from a drain pipe. An oil separation tank that separates the drainage pipe from which the drainage discharged from the drainage pipe falls, and is downstream of the drainage position of the drainage board. In addition, the oil separation tank is characterized in that a curved portion is formed which imparts an upward swirling flow to the drainage before flowing down the receiving plate and flowing into the most upstream side of the plurality of troughs. .

According to the present invention, the drainage discharged from the drain pipe falls to the receiving plate and then flows into the uppermost stream side so that the inflow speed of the drainage into the uppermost stream side is reduced. Also, before the drainage flows into the uppermost stream side, an upward swirling flow is imparted to the drainage by the curved portion, which facilitates oil separation due to the difference in specific gravity, and water and oil content in the upstreammost stream. Is reliably separated.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the oil separation tank according to the first aspect, the flow passage cross-sectional area of the outlet of the drain pipe is set larger than the cross-sectional area of the upstream side of the drain pipe. It is characterized by being.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the oil separation tank according to the first or second aspect, the receiving plate has a flat plate portion that flows down to the curved portion while receiving and diffusing the drainage discharged from the drain pipe. It is characterized by having .

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the oil separation tank according to any one of the first to third aspects, an oil adsorption mat is placed on a surface of the receiving plate on which the drainage falls. It is a feature.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a receiving plate from which the drainage discharged from the drainage pipe is dropped is provided below the outlet of the drainage pipe, and is directed upward with respect to the drainage before flowing into the most upstream side. Since the swirl flow is applied, even when the flow rate of the drainage increases, the drainage containing oil can be prevented from flowing into the dredging downstream than the dredging on the most upstream side. It is possible to reliably separate most of the oil content in the drainage water in the tank. In addition, since most of the oil content in the drainage can be recovered with the most upstream side soot, it is only necessary to clean only the most upstream side soot for daily maintenance, which makes maintenance extremely easy.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the channel cross-sectional area of the outlet of the drain pipe is set larger than the channel cross-sectional area of the drain pipe on the upstream side with respect to the outlet. The flow rate of the drained water can be reduced. As a result, the flow rate of the wastewater flowing into the uppermost stream side can be reduced, the specific gravity difference between water and oil can be effectively utilized by the amount of slow flow rate, and a large amount of oil can be separated. Become.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the drainage that has fallen on the flat plate portion spreads downstream, the planar shape of the drainage flowing through the flat plate portion can be made to flow into a curved portion with a substantially trapezoidal flow. It becomes possible.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the oil adsorbing mat is placed on the surface of the receiving plate where the drainage falls, the oil adsorbing mat is absorbed into the bottom of the bag even after the oil adsorbing mat absorbs the oil. Can be prevented from sinking toward

(Embodiment 1)
1 to 4 show Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and particularly show a case where it is applied to a thermal power plant using oil as fuel. As shown in FIG. 4, a thermal power plant facility is provided with an oil tank 11 for storing heavy oil and the like. The fuel oil 20 from the oil tank 11 is once supplied to the oil tank yard 12 and then supplied from the oil tank yard 12 to the boiler 13 for power generation. Since the fuel oil 20 contains a slight amount of water, the oil tank yard 12 guides water containing a large amount of oil accumulated in the lower part to the oil separation tank 1 through the drain pipe 5 to separate the oil. After separation into oil and water by the tank 1, only the separated water is discharged as drainage W from the drain pipe 6 to the outside. The oil separation tank 1 is provided at a position lower than the oil tank yard 12, and the height difference is set to H, for example. A flow rate adjusting valve 14 is provided in the middle of the drain pipe 5 extending from the oil tank yard 12 toward the oil separation tank 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the oil separation tank 1 has a tank body 2 for storing drainage W discharged from an upstream drain pipe 5. The tank body 2 is made of, for example, a metal member having excellent corrosion resistance, and the planar shape is formed in a square shape. The tank body 2 includes a bottom wall 2a, a right side wall 2b, a left side wall 2c, an upstream side wall 2d, and a downstream side wall 2e. A first partition wall 3 and a second partition wall 4 are provided between the right side wall 2 b and the left side wall 2 c inside the tank body 2. As for the 1st partition 3, the one end of the left-right direction is joined to the right side wall 2b, and the other end of the left-right direction is joined to the left side wall 2c. The upper end of the first partition 3 protrudes above the water surface of the waste water W stored in the tank body 2. Between the lower end 3a and the bottom wall 2a of the 1st partition 3, the flow path for guiding the waste_water | drain W to the downstream is formed.

  The second partition 4 is provided at a position away from the first partition 3 by a predetermined distance on the downstream side. The second partition 4 has one end in the left-right direction joined to the right side wall 2b and the other end in the left-right direction joined to the left side wall 2c. The lower end of the second partition wall 4 is joined to the bottom wall 2a. The second partition wall 4 is set so that the upper end 4 a is positioned at substantially the same position as the water surface of the waste water W stored in the tank body 2.

  The inner side of the tank body 2 is divided into a first ridge M1, a second ridge M2, and a third ridge M3 by a first partition 3 and a second partition 4. That is, in the first embodiment, in the oil separation tank 1, the first dredging M1 into which the drainage W from the drainage pipe 5 flows and the drainage W from the first dredging M1 pass through the bottom of the dredging. A second trough M2 that flows in and a third trough M3 into which the waste water W from the second trough M2 flows over the upper end 4a of the second partition wall 4 are formed. The volumes of each of the baskets M1 to M3 are set to substantially the same value. On the most downstream side of the tank body 2, a drain pipe 6 that discharges the drainage W of the third trough M3 to the outside using a siphon phenomenon is provided.

  On the uppermost stream side of the tank body 2, a drain pipe 5 that guides the waste water W from the oil tank yard 12 to the oil separation tank 1 is provided. The outlet 5a of the drain pipe 5 is located immediately above the first trough M1. Below the outlet 5 a of the drain pipe 5, a receiving plate 7 is provided on which the waste water W discharged from the drain pipe 5 falls. In the first embodiment, the receiving plate 7 is disposed only inside the first rod M1. The receiving plate 7 is made of a metal plate having a quadrangular planar shape, and its periphery is joined to the tank body 2 and the first partition 3 except for an outflow portion 7c described later. The position of the upper surface of the receiving plate 7 is set lower than the upper end of the first partition 3.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the receiving plate 7 has a flat plate portion 7a, a curved portion 7b, and an outflow portion 7c. The flat plate portion 7a receives the waste water W falling from the drain pipe 5 to the first trough M1, and diffuses the received waste water W so that the planar shape is substantially trapezoidal as shown by the arrow F1 and the two-dot chain line. And has a function of flowing down to the downstream side. That is, the flat plate portion 7a has a function of gradually diffusing the drainage water W flowing down in the left-right direction after receiving the fallen drainage W, so that the drainage W flows into the curved portion 7b with a large width. Yes. The curved portion 7b is an arc-shaped portion formed continuously with the flat plate portion 7a, and has a function of imparting an upward swirling flow F2 to the drainage W flowing into the first trough M1 from the flat plate portion 7a. ing. The outflow part 7c is located on the most downstream side of the curved part 7b, and has a function of causing the drainage W flowing upward by the swirl flow F2 provided by the curved part 7b to flow out to the first trough M1. ing.

  Next, an oil separation method and operation by the oil separation tank 1 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the thermal power plant, the oil 20 from the oil tank 11 is once supplied to the oil tank yard 12 and then supplied to the boiler 13. Since the oil 20 from the oil tank 11 is mixed with water, the oil tank yard 12 has a drainage W containing a large amount of oil at the bottom. Guided to separation tank 1. As shown in FIG. 4, since the oil tank yard 12 and the oil separation tank 1 have a height difference H, the flow rate of the waste water W discharged from the drain pipe 5 to the oil separation tank 1 is fast.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the outlet 5 a of the drain pipe 5 is located immediately above the receiving plate 7, so that the waste water W discharged from the outlet 5 a of the drain pipe 5 falls on the flat plate portion 7 a of the receiving plate 7. Will do. The drainage W that has fallen on the flat plate portion 7a flows down along the upper surface of the flat plate portion 7a. Here, since the waste water W falling on the flat plate portion 7a spreads downstream, the drainage W flowing through the flat plate portion 7a has a substantially trapezoidal flow as shown by the arrow F1 and a two-dot chain line. Become. And the waste water W which flows through the flat plate part 7a flows into the curved part 7b from the flat plate part 7a.

  The curved portion 7b is an arc-shaped portion formed continuously with the flat plate portion 7a, and an upward swirling flow F2 is given to the drainage W flowing into the first trough M1 from the flat plate portion 7a. That is, the waste water W flowing into the curved portion 7b from the flat plate portion 7a initially flows downward along the curved portion 7b, but then flows upward along the curved portion 7b. Thereby, the specific gravity difference between the water and the oil in the waste water W is promoted, and only the oil component in the waste water W is likely to float. And although the waste water W of the curved part 7b flows in into the 1st ridge | line M1 from the outflow part 7c of the receiving plate 7, since the waste water W which flows out from the outflow part 7c becomes an upward flow, rather than water The oil component having a small specific gravity will flow near the liquid surface, and the oil component in the waste water W will float on the liquid surface W1 of the waste water W of the first tank M1 that has flowed out from the outflow portion 7c. In this state, the water surface W1 of the waste water W in the first trough M1 substantially coincides with the height of the outflow portion 7c.

  Next, the drainage W on the bottom side of the first basket M1 that contains almost no oil in the drainage W that has flowed into the first basket M1 is adjacent to the second basket M2 via the lower part of the first partition 3. Will flow into. Here, since the waste water W falling from the outlet of the drain pipe 5 falls to the flat plate portion 7a of the receiving plate 7, even when the flow speed of the drain water W discharged from the drain pipe 5 becomes faster, As described above, the drainage W of the first tank M1 containing a large amount of oil is prevented from flowing into the second tank M2 via the lower part of the first partition wall 3, and the liquid level W2 of the second tank M2 This prevents the oil from floating.

  Next, the waste water W that has flowed into the second trough M <b> 2 flows into the third trough M <b> 3 beyond the upper end 4 a of the second partition 4. Thereafter, the waste water W that has flowed into the third trough M3 is discharged to the outside through the downstream drain pipe 6 using the siphon phenomenon. Since the suction port 6a of the drain pipe 6 is located on the bottom side of the third rod M3, the waste water W sucked into the drain pipe 6 does not substantially contain oil, and the oil is separated. Only the waste water W is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 6.

  Thus, in the first embodiment, the receiving plate 7 on which the waste water W discharged from the drain pipe 5 falls is provided below the outlet 5a of the drain pipe 5, and the first bowl that is the most upstream side bowl is provided. Since the upward swirling flow F2 is applied to the waste water W flowing into M1, even when the flow rate of the waste water W is increased, the waste water W containing oil is the first soot. It is possible to suppress the flow into the second rod M2 and the third rod M3 located on the downstream side of M1, and to reliably separate most of the oil content in the drainage W at the first rod M1. Can do. In addition, since the separated oil in the waste water W can be almost recovered by the first tub M1, which is the most upstream tub, only the first tub M1 needs to be cleaned in daily maintenance. Is significantly easier.

  In the first embodiment, as the plurality of rods, three rods, the first rod M1, the second rod M2, and the third rod M3, are used. Can be further increased. In other words, the oil separation tank 1 uses the characteristic of oil that the specific gravity is smaller than that of water. First, the floated oil is stored in the first tank M1, and only the water from which the oil has been separated is stored in the next two tanks. By repeating the flow, only the waste water W from which the oil has been reliably separated can be discharged to the outside. Further, since the waste water W flowing into the first trough M1 flows in a flat shape along the receiving plate 7, it becomes possible to easily grasp the drainage amount of the waste water W from the drain pipe 5 visually, and the valve 14 It is easy to adjust the flow rate.

  FIG. 5 shows a modification of FIG. In FIG. 3, the outlet 5a of the drain pipe 5 is set to the same diameter as the upstream side. However, as shown in FIG. 5, the outlet 5b of the drain pipe 5 is expanded from the diameter D1 to the diameter D2. The flow rate of the waste water W when flowing from the pipe 5 into the first trough M1 can be reduced. That is, in FIG. 5, the channel cross-sectional area of the outlet 5 a of the drain pipe 5 is set to be larger than the channel cross-sectional area on the upstream side of the drain pipe 5, so that it is discharged from the outlet 5 b of the drain pipe 5. The flow rate of the waste water W can be reduced. As a result, the specific gravity difference between the water and the oil in the waste water W can be effectively utilized by the amount that the flow rate of the waste water W is slowed down, and a large amount of oil can be separated in the first trough M1.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is only the presence or absence of the oil adsorption mat, and the other parts are the same as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are given to the corresponding parts. The description of the conforming part is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 6, an oil adsorption mat 8 called an oil catcher (registered trademark) for adsorbing oil is placed on the upper surface of the flat plate portion 7 a of the receiving plate 7. The oil adsorption mat 8 is formed, for example, by matting natural fibers into a mat shape, and has a function of quickly adsorbing oil. In the second embodiment, the oil adsorption mat 8 is provided over almost the entire surface of the flat plate portion 7 a of the receiving plate 7.

  In Embodiment 2 configured as described above, the waste water W discharged from the drain pipe 5 comes into contact with the oil adsorption mat 8, and the oil contained in the waste water W that has fallen on the backing plate 7 is used. Can be adsorbed. Therefore, the amount of oil that floats on the first rod M1 can be suppressed, and the cleaning operation of the first rod M1 is facilitated. Further, since the oil adsorption mat 8 is supported by the flat plate portion 7a of the receiving plate 7, the oil adsorption mat 8 that has adsorbed oil can be prevented from sinking toward the bottom of the first ridge M1, The oil adsorption mat 8 can be easily handled.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, but the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described first and second embodiments, and there are design changes and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention. However, it is included in this invention. For example, in this Embodiment 1, although the case where it applied to the oil separation of the waste_water | drain W in the oil tank yard 12 of a thermal power plant was shown, a use is not limited to a thermal power plant. In the first embodiment, the receiving plate 7 is arranged in the first rod M1, but the receiving plate 7 ensures that the drainage W from the drain pipe 5 is only in the first rod M1. If it is a structure which flows in, you may comprise the flat plate part 7a extended to the 2nd collar M2 side.
