Background
With the exploitation and utilization of heavy oil and ultra-heavy oil resources in oil fields, various novel thermal recovery technologies are continuously used, for example, saturated dry steam or superheated steam can be used for heating an underground oil layer, so that higher crude oil recovery rate can be obtained. However, as the thermal recovery temperature increases, the temperature of the produced oil well produced liquid increases, which may reach 170 ℃ or even higher, and the produced liquid usually contains a certain proportion of crude oil, and the rest is superheated water. As the water in the pipeline is flashed once the pressure is reduced to the normal pressure, the transportation of the pipeline is difficult, the requirements on the tightness and pressure resistance of the pipeline and equipment along the pipeline are improved, and the cavitation damage of the equipment can be caused when the pipeline is not managed properly. Meanwhile, the produced liquid also contains a large amount of heat energy, and if the heat energy is not utilized, the heat energy is completely dissipated to the environment, so that the energy is wasted.
After the oil field output liquid is treated by the separation process, the crude oil is separated from the oil field output liquid, but the rest water still contains a certain amount of SiO2Ca, Mg, Cl, etc., and contains small amounts of crude oil, known as oilfield water. Currently, known techniques are: 1. directly inject the reclaimed water back to the ground to prevent the pollution caused by large-area discharge. The method has the disadvantages that a large amount of electric energy is consumed by the up-and-down transportation of water, and the gradual pollution of underground water resources is caused in order to supply water to the steam injection boiler and continuously extract new clean underground water resources from the underground. 2. A water treatment plant is established, sewage treatment is carried out by air floatation, dosing and filtration, and the treated water is recycled to a boiler, so that the method can realize the recycling of water resources. However, because the water in the oil field contains a certain amount of organic matters and the temperature often exceeds 80-90 ℃, when the water is treated by adopting the common membrane filtration technology, the membrane can be quickly failed, so that the treatment cost is greatly increased. 3. The purification by evaporation method, at present, there has been a research on the purification by distillation of reclaimed water by repeatedly heating steam by a steam compressor as a heat source for evaporation (MVC method), which consumes a large amount of electric energy to drive the steam compressor, and requires high cost of equipment.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: a system for completing oil field water distillation purification by utilizing waste heat of produced fluid of an oil field oil well comprises an oil field produced fluid collecting and storing device 1, a steam generating device 2 and a multi-effect evaporation device 3 which are sequentially communicated. Because the temperature of the high-temperature output liquid is only 170-180 ℃, the heat quality is low, and in order to ensure that enough working steam is obtained, the temperature and the pressure of the generated steam cannot be too high, the temperature and the pressure are generally controlled to be 110-120 ℃.
The steam generating device 2 is a waste heat boiler. Working steam is obtained by utilizing a waste heat boiler which can be one of a shell-and-tube evaporator, a spiral plate evaporator or a plate evaporator with compact design, a heat flow medium is oil well output liquid which flows through the equipment in large quantity, the inlet temperature of the heat flow medium is about 170 ℃, and the outlet temperature of the heat flow medium is reduced to 80-100 ℃ to form oil field reclaimed water to be treated; the cold flow medium is cold water of about 25 ℃ led in from a boiler water inlet pipeline, and exchanges heat with the high-temperature produced liquid and evaporates by adopting a countercurrent heat exchange method. By designing the structure and working parameters of the heat exchange unit, the cold fluid can be heated in the waste heat boiler to generate steam with the temperature of more than 110 ℃ and the steam can be used as working steam. The method has the advantage that the working steam comes from clean boiler water, and is very beneficial to preventing the subsequent multi-effect evaporation device 3 from scaling.
The multi-effect evaporation device 3 is an evaporation device with 4-6 effects communicated with each other, and the evaporation device of each effect consists of an evaporator and a separator; the evaporator is one of a central circulating tube type evaporator, a forced circulating tube type evaporator or a falling film type evaporator. Each evaporator and one conjoined or independent separator form one effect of multi-effect evaporation, and in order to ensure that the system can distill and purify enough water in the oil field, so that distilled water is conveniently recovered, the effect is usually 4-6. In the multi-effect evaporation system, the evaporation temperature of each effect is ensured by changing the vacuum degree, a certain vacuum degree gradient is formed between the effects, and the temperature difference of the effects can be 5-10 ℃.
The working steam is communicated with the shell pass of the first effect evaporator, and is converted into distilled water after exchanging heat with water in the oil field to be recycled. The reclaimed water source 8 is communicated with all tube passes of the evaporator, the reclaimed water in the oil field is evaporated in the tube passes of the evaporator after being pretreated to generate secondary steam, the secondary steam is separated by the separator and is used as working steam of the shell pass of the evaporator with the next effect, the evaporation of the reclaimed water is continuously finished, and the rest is done until the last effect is achieved. Distilled water produced by each effect evaporation device and water produced by the air cooler 4 can also be used as cold flow media of the waste heat boiler.
The multi-effect evaporation device is communicated with a condensing device. The condensing equipment is air cooler 4, and air cooler 4 cools off the steam that last effect evaporimeter produced, makes it become the comdenstion water, and after the steam condensation, owing to the volume reduces, just can produce the negative pressure naturally, and the preceding each effect of pulling produces the vacuum gradient, just so can guarantee that the steam of each effect can evaporate in succession. In order to prevent the effect of the non-condensable gas on the vacuum degree, a water ring vacuum pump may be additionally installed on the air cooler 4, so that the non-condensable gas mixed in the steam is pumped out to maintain a certain vacuum degree.
The output end of the last effect of the multi-effect evaporation device 3 is communicated with a drying device 6. These highly concentrated effluents are environmentally polluting and require harmless disposal before discharge. The heating can be continued by using a drying device until the solid is dried and buried.
The tube side inlet of the evaporator of each effect evaporation device is also communicated with a chemical adding device 7 to prevent inorganic salts contained in the reclaimed water from causing the scaling of the multi-effect evaporator, the reclaimed water in the oil field needs to be subjected to water treatment in advance before evaporation, and SiO commonly contained in the reclaimed water in the oil field can be prevented by adding NaOH2Causes silica scale, and can carry out flocculation treatment in advance on water in an oil field in order to prevent Ca and Mg ions from scaling. After the evaporation of the 4-6 effect evaporator, the residual reclaimed water of the last effect can be concentrated by 20-40 times, a continuous sewage discharge pipe is arranged on the last effect separator, and the continuous discharge is equivalent to the first effectThe water amount of the sewage is 3-5% to ensure that the evaporator can not be seriously scaled.
The invention also provides another technical scheme, which is different from the technical scheme that the condensing device is a water injection type vacuum pump 5, and other technical characteristics are unchanged.
The water jet type vacuum pump 5 recovers the waste heat of the last effect. The water with the temperature of about 25 ℃ is used as a cold source, and the cold source directly absorbs the heat of the final effect steam and then inputs the heat into the boiler, so that a special water cooling tower can be avoided from being built, and part of steam heat can be recycled to the steam injection boiler, thereby achieving the energy-saving effect. The steam injection boiler is another common special device in an oil field and is specially used for generating thermal recovery steam injected into the underground.
Referring to fig. 2, the present invention provides another technical solution, which is different from the above technical solution in that the steam generating device is a flash tank, and other technical features are not changed.
The method for obtaining the working steam is to directly introduce the high-temperature output liquid into a flash tank to be flashed to obtain the working steam containing a small amount of light oil, and the temperature of the flash steam can be stabilized at a certain value by controlling the pressure of the flash tank by using a constant-pressure element. In order to ensure the subsequent multi-effect evaporation unit to work successfully, the temperature of the working steam should be ensured to be above 110 ℃. The method has the advantages of simple equipment and small volume.
The steam obtained after flash evaporation is directly introduced into the shell pass of the first effect evaporator, and the produced sewage is used as water in an oil field and communicated with the tube pass of the evaporator.
