Method and system for treating wastewater containing polyacrylamide
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of oil field wastewater treatment, in particular to a method and a system for treating polyacrylamide-containing wastewater by using a biological method and combining physical and chemical treatment processes.
Background
In the oil recovery industry, the recovery of oil using reservoir energy is commonly referred to as primary recovery; injecting water and gas into the oil layer, and supplementing energy to the oil layer to recover oil, namely secondary oil recovery; chemical substances are used for improving the mutual performance of oil, gas, water and rocks and producing more petroleum, which is called tertiary oil recovery. In the tertiary oil recovery method of the oil field, the polymer flooding technology occupies an important position. Among all polymers, polyacrylamide is most used due to its advantages of high relative molecular mass and good water solubility. After the polyacrylamide is dissolved in water, on one hand, the viscosity of the displacement fluid is increased, the oil-water fluidity ratio is reduced, and finally, the sweep coefficient is improved; on the other hand, the flow resistance of the displacement fluid at the high-permeability part of the oil reservoir is increased, so that the planar flow is more uniform, and the recovery ratio is improved.
However, in the oil extraction process, a large amount of polymer produced water with a certain concentration and a certain viscosity is correspondingly produced, the toxicity of residual monomer Acrylamide (AM) in the polyacrylamide-containing wastewater is very high, and the monomer Acrylamide (AM) is gradually accumulated in the environment and harms the environment if the monomer Acrylamide (AM) is directly discharged, and meanwhile, the reinjection of the polyacrylamide-containing wastewater causes oil layer pollution in a near-wellbore area, the water injection pressure is increased, the water injection is difficult, the oil production is reduced, and the problems caused by polymer flooding are increasingly serious. How to treat and utilize the produced water is a problem of increasing concern.
At present, the method for treating the waste water containing polyacrylamide mainly comprises a biological method, a chemical method, a physical method and a mixed use of two or more methods. (1) Although the biological method has strong economic applicability, environmental protection, energy conservation and no secondary toxic action, the efficiency is low and the time consumption is long. (2) Chemical methods have the advantage of high efficiency, but are not widely used due to high energy consumption and the tendency to produce environmentally harmful intermediates or products. (3) The physical method only has the functions of simple sedimentation and the like, and does not substantially degrade pollutants.
The existing sewage treatment process is relatively mature, and the core technologies of the biological method are an activated sludge method and a biofilm method, namely, the activated sludge or a biofilm in a bioreactor is utilized to decompose organic matters in sewage. Therefore, it is the main content and development direction of the present and future research to develop a new polymer-containing wastewater treatment technology by combining the chemical method and physical method with fast degradation speed without abandoning the economic and environmental protection of the biological method.
Most of the prior patents for treating wastewater containing polyacrylamide directly feed the wastewater into a bioreactor, but the polyacrylamide in the wastewater has high concentration, high viscosity and poor fluidity, is very easy to block the bioreactor, and brings a lot of technical troubles in daily operation.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

Indigenous microorganisms are one of five basic materials in natural agriculture, take soil as a habitat of the indigenous microorganisms, are microbial communities growing in local soil for hundreds of years, and adhere to the microorganisms in the living field of the indigenous microorganisms. Indigenous microorganisms are a community composed of dozens of microorganisms such as carbon-fixing photosynthetic bacteria, disease-inhibiting actinomycetes, saccharomycetes that decompose sugars, and lactic acid bacteria that decompose efficiently under anaerobic conditions. The method mainly adopts the indigenous microorganism population in the wastewater containing the polyacrylamide, and the unique function of degrading the polymer by taking the polymer as a carbon source and a nitrogen source through mass propagation can effectively degrade the polyacrylamide in the treatment. The matching of the trace element solution is also aimed at the trace elements required by the indigenous microorganism population, the population is further optimized in the loaded microorganisms, so that the indigenous microorganisms are enriched in the gaps of the activated carbon and form a good biofilm structure, and the stable habitat is provided for the microorganisms.
The principle of the treatment process of the waste water containing polyacrylamide is as follows, and the biological load particles are illustrated by taking activated carbon as an example:

The activated carbon and the biological sewage are subjected to ozone aeration oxidation together. The hydraulic retention time of the ozone oxidation reactor is 2h, and the ozone dosage is 5g O3Per g TOC, ozone is generated by an ozone generator. The bottom of the ozone oxidation reactor is provided with a micropore ozone aeration disc with the diameter of 10cm and the pore size of 5-100 mu m for ozone aeration, and the effluent of the ozone oxidation reactor can be directly discharged or recycled.

Mineralization is a general term of a process of converting organic compounds in soil into inorganic compounds under the action of soil microorganisms, and high-temperature mineralization generated in the activated carbon can convert indigenous microorganisms, residual trace element solutions, biofilms and the like into inorganic substances such as carbon sources and nitrogen sources required by organisms, so that inorganic nutrients required by the microorganisms are supplied for recycling of the activated carbon.
(6) And (3) recycling the activated carbon: the activated carbon after high-temperature mineralization treatment in the tubular furnace further removes microorganisms and polyacrylamide in the activated carbon, recovers the porosity of the activated carbon, can be used for adsorption for many times, and realizes the reutilization of the activated carbon.
The technical effects brought by the present invention are mainly described in the following aspects, which are combined with the system for treating waste water containing polyacrylamide provided by the present invention.
