This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 202210152364.6, filed on Feb. 18, 2022. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the liquid physical separation, and more particularly to a swirl-type demulsification and dehydration device for an oil-water emulsion.

BACKGROUND

The comprehensive utilization of industrial waste oil is of great practical significance to environmental protection, alleviation of resource shortage and national strategy. The industrial waste oil firstly needs to be demulsified and dehydrated. The existing treatment methods cannot effectively demulsify and dehydrate emulsions when used alone, so multiple approaches are combined, or a coupling unit is adopted to reach a better separation effect. Typically, the electric field method and the swirl centrifugation method are integrated, that is, the electric field and the swirl centrifugal field are coupled. Under the action of the electric field, the liquid collision in the emulsion is intensified, and the droplet coalescence is promoted, forming larger droplets. Based on the density difference, the swirl centrifugal field produces different centrifugal forces for oil and water to realize the oil-water separation.

The electric field and the swirl centrifugal field are coupled by using a swirl device, for example, Chinese patent application No. 201811485648.7 discloses an electrostatic swirl demulsification device and an application thereof. With respect to the existing swirl devices, the swirl chamber and the underflow pipe, which are coaxial but vary in diameter, are connected generally through a straight double-cone section. The straight double-cone section has a stepped structure, which makes the transition between the swirl chamber and the underflow pipe unsmooth, such that the internal flow field is prone to vibration, resulting in low stability, and poor droplet coalescence and separation effect. To address this problem, Chinese patent application No. 202110545860.3 discloses a demulsification and dehydration method for emulsions, in which a smooth dual-spherical surface transition section is adopted as the transition structure between the swirl chamber and the underflow pipe. The smooth dual-spherical surface transition section is formed by a convex arc section and a concave arc section through the smooth tangent connection, which can effectively alleviate the droplet vibration and improve the separation effect.

However, as demonstrated by extensive practical verifications and theoretical analyses, although the smooth transition structure can effectively reduce the droplet vibration and improve the separation effect compared with the straight double-cone section, it still struggles with some deficiencies. Specifically, the convex arc transition section has a larger space than the corresponding area in the straight double-cone section, which will decrease the centrifugal force acting on the droplets, thereby affecting the separation effect. The concave arc transition section has a smaller space than the corresponding area in the straight double-cone section, which leads to the reduction of the tangential cone angle and downward resistance, such that a small amount of oil is prone to flowing to the underflow pipe, thereby affecting the separation effect. In addition, it has been found that the relationship between the diameter of the inlet pipe and the diameter of the swirl chamber will also significantly influence the separation performance. Therefore, it is necessary to further optimize the swirl device to arrive at the desired separation characteristic.

In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, this application provides a swirl-type demulsification and dehydration device for oil-water emulsions, which has a stable flow field and an improved separation performance.

Referring to FIGS. 3-5, a swirl-type demulsification and dehydration device for oil-water emulsions is provided, which includes a swirler.

L_t is 410˜450 mm, for example 410 mm, 430 mm or 450 mm. The inner diameter D_u of the underflow pipe 1 is 8-10 mm, for example 8 mm, 9 mm or 10 mm.

In an embodiment, how the device is operated is described as follows.

(1) The emulsion was pretreated. The water content of the pretreated emulsion was 5-25% by mass, and the kinematic viscosity of the pretreated emulsion at 40 ° C. was less than 46 mm²/s.

(2) The overflow pipe 7 was turned up, and the underflow pipe 1 was turned down. Then the overflow pipe 7 was electrically connected to a positive pole of the high-voltage pulse power supply, where the swirl chamber 5 was grounded.

(3) The pretreated emulsion was continuously input into the swirl chamber 5 from the inlet pipe 6. The two inlet pipes 6 were connected to two output ends of a t-branch pipe to ensure initial speeds of the two inlet pipes 6 consistent. The emulsion was continuously fed into the swirl chamber 5 at a specific speed through a helical rotor pump, where the speed of the emulsion in the inlet pipes was 6-14 m/s, and the pressure was 0.15˜0.3 MPa. (4) The oil discharged from the overflow pipe 7 and the water discharged from the underflow pipe 1 were respectively collected and transported.

In order to verify the swirl-type demulsification and dehydration device for an oil-water emulsion described in this application, the separation efficiency comparison is as follows.

The swirler with the traditional straight double-cone section, the swirler with the smooth dual-spherical surface transition section, the swirler with the composite curved pipe section were respectively used to perform demulsification and dehydration of the emulsions. All the three experimental conditions are consistent, including high-voltage pulse power supply, and flow rate, pressure, water content and kinematic viscosity of the emulsions, etc. According to the above steps, the length and diameter of each section of the swirler using the composite curve pipe section are as follows.

TABLE 1
Length and diameter of individual sections of the swirler
Do/	Di/	Lz/	Lu/	Ls/	Lt/	Ds/	Du/	Ro/	a, b/

18	12	75	400	75	430	70	10	9	109.4

D_o is the diameter of the overflow pipe 7, the length of each section of the swirler with the traditional straight double-cone section and the swirler with the smooth dual-spherical surface transition section was also set accordingly.

The test results are illustrated in FIG. 6, where A is the swirler with the composite curve pipe section, B is the swirler with the smooth dual-spherical surface transition section, and C is the swirler with the traditional straight double-cone section. It can be concluded that the separation efficiency of C can reach about 90%, the separation efficiency of B can reach about 96%, and the separation efficiency of A can reach about 97%. Compared with C, the separation efficiency of A is increased by about 7%, and compared with B, the separation efficiency of A is also increased by about 1%.

Firstly, in the swirler with the composite curve pipe section, the smooth connection between the swirl chamber and the underflow pipe makes the distribution of tangential velocity, axial velocity and vorticity of the emulsion in the swirler more symmetrical and makes the internal flow field more stable. Near the overflow port, the swirler with the composite curve pipe section can promote the liquid with high-oil component to flow out from the overflow port, thereby improving the separation effect and separation efficiency. In addition, the swirlers with the composite curve pipe section also have lower energy consumption and pressure drop.

In addition, in the swirler with the composite curve pipe section, the separation space between the swirl chamber and the underflow pipe is reduced, thereby increasing the centrifugal force applied on the droplets and facilitating movement of the droplets to the inner wall of the swirler to promote the oil-water separation. The separation space formed at the zone corresponding to the convex elliptical arc transition section is larger than that of the swirler with the traditional straight double-cone section and the swirler with the smooth dual-spherical surface transition section, which indicates a larger tangential cone angle and a larger contact area, such that the downward resistance of the fluid is increased, and a large amount of oil is forced to migrate to the overflow port, allowing for a better separation effect.

It can be obtained that the separation efficiency of the swirler with the composite curve pipe section is significantly higher than that of the swirler with the traditional straight double-cone section and the swirler with the smooth dual-spherical surface transition section.
