At present, the emulsion dehydration treatment method includes a physical method, a chemical method, a biological method and the like, wherein the most common treatment method is the physical method, and the physical method comprises an electric field method, a rotational flow centrifugation method, a gravity sedimentation method, a vacuum heating method and the like.
However, it is difficult to effectively perform emulsion breaking and dewatering treatment on the emulsion by using a single treatment method, such as: the electric field method is that emulsion is placed in a high-voltage alternating current or direct current electric field, the strength of an interfacial film of the emulsion is reduced by utilizing the action of the electric field on water drops, the water drops are promoted to collide and merge into large-particle water drops, and thus the water phase and the oil phase are separated; however, as the water content of the emulsion increases, the difficulty of establishing a certain electric field strength between electrodes in the emulsion increases, so that the electric field method has certain limitation. The cyclone separation method is that the emulsion rotates at high speed, and different centrifugal forces are generated by utilizing different densities of an oil phase and a water phase, so that the separation of the water phase and the oil phase is realized; although the centrifuge can make the emulsion reach higher rotation speed, the maintenance is difficult, so the existing cyclone centrifugation method mostly adopts a hydraulic cyclone, and utilizes the hydraulic spin to separate the water phase and the oil phase, but the rotation speed of the hydraulic spin is lower than that provided by the centrifuge, so the separation effect is poor.
At present, a better separation effect is obtained by adopting a plurality of treatment methods for combined treatment or adopting a coupling integrated unit for treatment, wherein the mode of combining an electric field method and a cyclone centrifugal method is common, namely, the electric field and the cyclone centrifugal field are coupled to complement each other so as to realize the effect of enlarging the particle size of liquid drops and quickly and effectively separating the liquid drops, and the demulsification and dehydration efficiency of emulsion is greatly improved, but the cyclone in the coupling device of the electric field and the cyclone centrifugal field at present adopts a straight-surface double-cone structure transition connection between a cyclone chamber and a bottom flow tube which are coaxial and have different diameters, as shown in figure 1, the transition position of the double-cone section is in a gradient shape and is in non-smooth connection, the electrostatic cyclone demulsification device disclosed in patent CN201811485648.7 and the application thereof are involved, but the vibration of a flow field in the cyclone is caused by the area of the straight-surface double-cone section, so that the flow field is unstable, which is detrimental to the coalescence of the droplets and thus affects the separation efficiency and efficiency.

According to the cyclone used by the demulsification dehydration method, smooth transition pipe sections are adopted between the cyclone chambers with the same shaft and different diameters and the underflow pipe for transition, so that the turbulence intensity in the cyclone is reduced, the flow field is promoted to be stable, water drops are favorably coalesced in emulsion under the action of an electric field, the particle size is increased, and the separation effect and the separation efficiency are improved; therefore, the invention obviously improves the separation effect and efficiency of demulsification and dehydration by matching the action of the electric field through the cyclone of the smooth transition pipe section, and has good application prospect, good economic value and social benefit.
Furthermore, on the axial section of the cyclone chamber, the inner wall of the smooth transition pipe section comprises a convex arc transition section and a concave arc transition section, the inner diameter of the convex arc transition section is gradually reduced, the large diameter end of the convex arc transition section is tangent to the cyclone chamber, the small diameter end of the convex arc transition section is tangent to the large diameter end of the concave arc transition section, and the small diameter end of the concave arc transition section is tangent to the inner wall of the underflow pipe.
Thus, the convex arc transition section and the concave arc transition section are connected in a tangent and smooth manner to form a smooth transition pipe section, the axial radius of the convex arc transition section area is increased, the pressure gradient is increased, and the pressure drop is reduced, so that the radial pressure gradient force towards the axis of the emulsion in a flow field is increased, the energy consumption loss is reduced, more energy is used for emulsion breaking and dehydration of the emulsion, and the separation of an oil phase and a water phase is facilitated; meanwhile, a double-arc connection structure is adopted, so that the emulsion has a larger tangential speed in a smooth transition pipe section, under the condition of larger particle size, the centrifugal force borne by water drops is increased, the water drops are promoted to migrate to the wall surface, and oil moves to the axis under the action of pressure gradient force, so that the separation of an oil phase and a water phase is facilitated; in addition, the structure of double-circular-arc connection is adopted, so that the axis region has larger vorticity, a stable vortex core is easy to form, stable collection of oil at the axis is facilitated, liquid with higher oil content flows out of the overflow pipe under the action of larger axial speed, and liquid with higher water content is collected near the underflow pipe, so that the oil-water separation performance of the device is improved.
Further, the number of the inlet pipes is two, and the two inlet pipes are symmetrical with respect to the axis center of the cyclone chamber.
Like this, during the implementation, be used for carrying the oil feed pipe of emulsion respectively with two inlet tubes intercommunications through a three-way pipe, guarantee that the flow of two inlet tubes is unanimous, make the indoor stable and fast-speed vortex of forming of whirl fast, do benefit to the separation of oil phase and aqueous phase.
Further, half of the overflow pipe is positioned in the cyclone chamber, and the inlet pipe and the overflow pipe are in the following positional relation:
Lw＝Ls/2-Dt (1-1)
wherein L iswThe distance between one side of the inlet pipe close to the convex arc transition section and one end of the overflow pipe in the cyclone chamber on the axis of the cyclone chamber is LsIs the length of the overflow pipe and takes the value of 65-75 mm, DtIs the diameter of the inlet pipe and takes the value of 10-14 mm.
Like this, through the position of restriction inlet tube and overflow pipe, make the emulsion that gets into the whirl indoor from the inlet tube accomplish the separation of aqueous phase and oil phase to a great extent before reaching overflow pipe mouth of pipe position, make the mouth of pipe department of overflow pipe form stable oil phase layer, avoid the direct overflow pipe of following of emulsion to improve this dehydration separator's separation effect.
Further, the sphere radius of the concave arc transition section and the sphere radius of the convex arc transition section satisfy the following relation:

further, the water content of the emulsion pretreated in the step 1) is 2-25% by mass percent.
Therefore, the effect of the cyclone on demulsification, dehydration and separation of the emulsion is ensured by limiting the water content of the emulsion before the emulsion enters the cyclone chamber; if the water content of the emulsion is too high, a stable oil phase layer is difficult to form at the overflow pipe after the emulsion enters the cyclone chamber, and the condition that a large amount of water is discharged from the overflow pipe easily occurs, so that the treatment failure of demulsification, dehydration and separation of the emulsion is caused; therefore, when the water content of the emulsion is high, it is necessary to perform a pretreatment to remove a part of the water before entering the cyclone.
Further, the kinematic viscosity of the emulsion pretreated in the step 1) at 40 ℃ is less than 46mm2/s。
Therefore, the effect of the cyclone on demulsification, dehydration and separation of the emulsion is ensured by limiting the kinematic viscosity of the emulsion; if the kinematic viscosity is too high, after the emulsion enters the cyclone chamber, a fast and stable vortex is difficult to form in the cyclone chamber, and the water phase is difficult to obtain a larger centrifugal force to separate from the oil phase, so that the treatment failure of emulsion breaking and dehydration separation of the emulsion is easily caused; therefore, when the kinematic viscosity of the emulsion is high, pretreatment is required before entering the cyclone to reduce the kinematic viscosity of the emulsion.
Further, the voltage range of the high-voltage pulse power supply in the step 2) is 1 kV-10 kV, the frequency is 10 Hz-100 Hz, and the pulse duty ratio is 0.5-1.

Further, in the step 3), the flow rate of the emulsion in the inlet pipe is 8-12 m/s, and the pressure is 0.2-0.3 MPa (G).
Therefore, the flow rate and the pressure of the liquid in the inlet pipe are limited within the range, so that the cyclone has better effect on demulsification, dehydration and separation of the emulsion.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. the cyclone used by the demulsification dehydration method adopts a smooth transition pipe section for transition between the cyclone chambers with the same shaft and different diameters and the underflow pipe, so that the turbulence intensity in the cyclone is reduced, the flow field is promoted to be stable, water drops are favorably coalesced in emulsion under the action of an electric field, the particle size is increased, and the separation effect and the separation efficiency are improved.
2. According to the invention, the smooth transition pipe section is formed by smoothly connecting the convex arc transition section and the concave arc transition section in a phase-cutting manner, firstly, the radial pressure gradient force towards the axis of the emulsion in a flow field is increased, and the energy consumption loss is reduced, so that more energy is used for emulsion breaking and dehydration of the emulsion; secondly, the emulsion has a larger tangential speed in a smooth transition pipe section, and under the condition of larger particle size, the centrifugal force borne by water drops is increased, so that the water drops are promoted to migrate to the wall surface; finally, the axis region has larger vorticity, so that a stable vortex core is easy to form, and the stable collection of oil at the axis is facilitated; thereby the separating effect of the cyclone is better.
