Abstract

This paper addresses the escalating challenge of oil–water separation by proposing a novel concept of partitioned and graded cyclone separation. The primary objective is to mitigate the issue of inefficient heating energy consumption in fluids produced with a high water cut, thereby meeting the demands for a low-carbon and energy-saving process. The paper introduces the concepts of split chamber swirl and targeted separation, and designs cascade dewatering equipment to achieve compact and efficient cascade enhanced dewatering performance. The separation performance of the equipment was analyzed through the combination of experiment and numerical simulation. The results reveal that the centrifugal acceleration of the main swirl chamber is 250 times that of gravity, and the centrifugal acceleration of each subsidiary swirl chamber is 5200 times that of gravity. Large oil droplets are separated in the main chamber, while small oil droplets are separated in the subsidiary swirl chamber, realizing efficient oil–water separation. Compared to single-stage dewatering equipment, the dewatering rate of the cascade dewatering equipment increases by approximately 20 %. When the inlet flow rate is controlled at 1.0 m3/h–1.3 m3/h and the inlet water cut ranges from 70 % to 85 %, the dewatering rate exceeds 70 %, meeting the technical indicators for an oil outlet water cut less than 50 %. Furthermore, by controlling the split ratio within 43 %, the recovery rate of oil can exceed 80 %. It is noteworthy that the cascade dewatering equipment offers a novel solution to the problem of fluids produced with a high water cut.

本文提出了一种新颖的分区和分级旋流分离概念,以应对日益严峻的油水分离挑战。其主要目的是缓解高水分生产的流体加热能耗过低的问题,从而满足低碳节能工艺的要求。本文介绍了分室漩涡和定向分离的概念,并设计了级联脱水设备,以实现紧凑高效的级联增强脱水性能。通过实验和数值模拟相结合的方法分析了设备的分离性能。结果表明,主漩涡室的离心加速度是重力的 250 倍,每个副漩涡室的离心加速度是重力的 5200 倍。大油滴在主漩涡室中分离,小油滴在副漩涡室中分离,实现了高效的油水分离。与单级脱水设备相比,级联脱水设备的脱水率提高了约 20%。当入口流量控制在 1.0 m3/h-1.3 m3/h 时,入口断水在 70 % 至 85 % 之间,脱水率超过 70 %,达到了出油断水小于 50 % 的技术指标。此外,通过将分离比控制在 43 % 以内,油的回收率可超过 80 %。值得注意的是,级联脱水设备为解决高含水生产流体的问题提供了一种新的解决方案。

期刊介绍: Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
