CONTAMINANTS, PARTICULATE CONTAMINANTS, AND OIL
CONTAMINANTS FROM INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER
RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims benefit of and priority to provisional patent application Serial No. 60/879,429, filed January 9, 2007, incorporated by reference herein.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a system and method for removing dissolved contaminants, particulate contaminants and oil contaminants from industrial waste water.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The oil industry produces large amounts of waste water during exploration and production of petroleum. It has been estimated that approximately 800 gallons of water are used for the production of a barrel of oil of which approximately 80% is used for cooling in the refinery process. Oil wastes are classified depending on their origin, e.g., from oil production or from oil refining. Waste water from oil production is generally a mixture of drilling muds, salt water, free and emulsified oil and natural gas. Waste water from oil refineries includes, inter alia, free and emulsified oils from leaks, spills, and other sources. The combined refinery wastes or spills may contain crude oil and various fractions thereof, dissolved or suspended mineral and organic compounds discharged in liquors and sludges in various stages of processing.
Cleaning of industrial waste water from oil production and oil refining is important for both environmental and industry purposes. There are many
conventional processes for cleaning oil industrial waste water which include, for example, gravity separation, floatation, filtration, chemical treatments, electrochemical treatments, biochemical treatments, and the like. These systems are typically large, inefficient, and expensive to operate. The only known process which can achieve a final effluent with less than 5 p.p.m. oil contaminants is membrane filtration. However, membrane filtration is expensive and difficult to operate because the membranes quickly foul.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Aside from the preferred embodiment or embodiments disclosed below, this invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or being carried out in various ways. Thus, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangements of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. If only one embodiment is described herein, the claims hereof are not to be limited to that embodiment. Moreover, the claims hereof are not to be read restrictively unless there is clear and convincing evidence manifesting a certain exclusion, restriction, or disclaimer.
As discussed in the Background section above, conventional processes for cleaning oil industry waste water, such as gravity separation, floatation, filtration, chemical treatments, electrochemical treatments, biochemical treatments, and the like, are inefficient, large, expensive to operate, and typically incapable of producing a final effluent with less than 5 p.p.m. of oil and/or particulate contaminants. Although membrane filtration systems can produce a final effluent with less than 5 p.p.m. of oil contaminants, these systems are expensive and difficult to operate because the membrane filter quickly fouls.
In contrast, system 10, Fig. 1, for removing dissolved contaminants, particulate contaminants, and oil contaminants from industrial waste water of this invention includes gas floatation and primary oil contaminant removal subsystem 12 which receives flow of industrial waste water 14, e.g., from oil production processes, oil refining processes, and the like. Subsystem 12, e.g., a dissolved air floatation
(DAF) subsystem, receives flow of gaseous microspheres 16, e.g., from an air source with a bubble flow distribution subsystem. The flow of gaseous microspheres 16 combines with oil droplets in flow of industrial wastewater 14 in subsystem 12.
When oil is in an emulsified state, it exists as a colloidal suspension. When oil is in a free state, it is present as micro-droplets. The micro-droplets, when suspended in waste water, possess negative charge surfaces which creates repulsive forces between the droplets. The gaseous microspheres from flow of gaseous microspheres 16 are positively charged and are attracted to the oil droplets. The interaction of gaseous microspheres 16 with the oil droplets in industrial waste water 14 forms floes. The floes of the oil micro-droplets and the gaseous microspheres float to the surface of the waste water and are removed as recovered oil 18, e.g., with a skimmer or similar type device. This removes the majority of oil contaminants from the industrial waste water and is output as processed waste water by line 22.
Contaminant removal subsystem 20 receives the processed waste water from subsystem 12 by line 22 and removes dissolved contaminants, particulate contaminants, and any remaining oil contaminants from the processed waste water by line 22 to provide a final clear effluent by line 50 which preferably has a concentration of oil contaminants, particulate contaminants, and dissolved contaminants which are less than about 5 p.p.m. each, as discussed in detail below.
In one embodiment, contaminant removal subsystem 20 includes coagulation mixing tank 24 with mixer 26 which receives the processed waste water from subsystem 12, by line 22 and introduces coagulant 28, e.g., aluminum, FeCl3, PAC (polyaluminum chloride), and the like, to tank 24. Mixer 26 mixes the coagulant and the processed waste water to precipitate the dissolved contaminants in the waste water and form microflocs of precipitated dissolved contaminants and particulates.
Contaminant removal subsystem 20 also preferably includes weighting agent mixing tank 30 with mixer 32 which receives the processed waste water from coagulation mixing tank 24 by line 34 and introduces weighting agent or magnetic ballast 34, e.g., magnetite or similar type weighting agents known to those skilled in the art. Mixer 32 mixes the weighting agent 34 with the processed waste water in tank 30. As known by those skilled in the art, the weighting agent provides for rapid settling of floes, as discussed below.
Subsystem 20 preferably includes flocculation mixing tank 36 which receives the processed waste water from weighting agent mixing tank 30 by line 40 and introduces flocculant 42. Mixer 38 mixes flocculant 42 with the processed waste water in tank 36 to form large floes of the weighting agent and the microflocs of the particulate contaminants and/or large floes of the weighting agent and the precipitated dissolved contaminants and/or large floes of the weighting agent and any remaining oil particulates and/or large floes of any other particulates present in the processed waste water received by line 40. The flocculant, e.g., a polymer, has an electrical charge (anionic or cationic) which attracts the weighting agent, the microflocs of the particulate contaminants, the precipitated dissolved contaminants, any remaining oil particulates, and any other particulates present in the waste water to form the large floes which are separated using separation subsystem 44. The weighting agent provides for rapid settling of the floes separation subsystem 44.
Separation subsystem 44 separates the large floes of the weighting agent and the microflocs of the particulate, large floes of the weighting agent and the precipitated dissolved contaminants and/or large floes of the weighting agent and any remaining oil particulates and/or large floes of any other particulates present in the processed waste water to provide a clear effluent on line 50, e.g., a final effluent
having less than 5 p.p.m. each of oil contaminants, and particulate contaminants. As known to those skilled in the art, separation subsystem 44 may include a clarifier, a rapid settler, or a hydrocyclone.
In one design, system 10 may include recycling and re-circulating subsystem 46 which recovers and recycles weighting agent or magnetic ballast 34 from the processed waste water in separation subsystem 40 by line 48 and also re-circulates the sludge of the large floes of the weighting agent and contaminants by line 48 (discussed below).
In one embodiment, system 10 includes an oxidation subsystem 29 for introducing an oxidation agent, e.g., hydrogen peroxide or similar oxidation agent known to those skilled in the art, to the processed water in coagulation mixing tank 24 in order to change the electrical charges of one or more of the particulate contaminants and/or the oil contaminants in the waste water and to improve the formation of floes. Additional examples of contaminant removal subsystem 20 are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,099,738 by the inventors hereof, incorporated by reference herein.
The result is system 10 for removing dissolved contaminants, particulate contaminants, and oil contaminants from industrial waste water of this invention effectively and efficiently removes dissolved contaminants, particulate contaminants, and oil contaminants from industrial waste water, e.g., generated from oil production and/or oil refining processes. System 10 provides a final clean effluent, preferably having a level of oil contaminants and particulate contaminants less than about 5 p.p.m. each. Such a level is an acceptable level required by the EPA and can be reused by oil production and/or oil refining processes. Moreover, system 10 does not require the use of any membranes or filters, thus the problems associated therewith
are eliminated. System 10 is less expensive and utilizes less space than conventional industrial waste water cleaning systems. The ability to recycle the weight agents further decreases processing costs.
In one embodiment, system 10', Fig. 2, where like parts have been given like numbers, includes cooling subsystem 52. Cooling subsystem 52 reduces the temperature of the waste water received from gas floatation and primary oil contaminant removal subsystem 12 by line 22 to an appropriate temperature on line 23, e.g., about 50° C, for use with a desired flocculant, e.g., a polymer such as Cytec A- 130 or similar flocculant type known by those skilled in the art.
In one design, weighting agent 34', Fig. 3, where like parts have been given like numbers, may be coal fines. Using coal fines as the weighting agent generates a final sludge which can be filtered, dried, and used as a combustible.
In another design, system 10'", Fig. 4, where like parts have been given like numbers, includes gas floatation and primary oil contaminant subsystem 12 which receives flow of industrial waste water 14 and operates similar as discussed above with reference to Fig. 1. System 10' also preferably includes buffer tank 56 which regulates the flow of waste water, e.g., from cooling subsystem 52 by line 23 and removes coarse particulates from the waste water. Although, as shown in Fig. 4 buffer tank 56 is located between cooling subsystem 52 and contaminant removal subsystem 20, this is not a necessary limitation of this invention, as buffer tank 56 may be located at any desired location in system 10.
In one design, contaminant removal subsystem 20' receives the cooled and regulated waste water from cooling subsystem 52 and buffer tank 56 by line 57. Static mixers 60 introduce and mix the coagulant via coagulant feed Rl -82 by line 83 and/or the oxidation agent via oxidation feed R2-84 by line 85. The coagulant and/or
oxidation agent interacts with plates 62 of static mixers 60 to effectively mix of the coagulant and/or the oxidizing agent with the processed waste water in line 57. The statically mixed coagulant and/or oxidizing agent with the processed waste water from subsystem 12 are fed into mixing tanks T-I and T-2 by line 89. Tanks T-I to T- 2, e.g., weighting agent tank 30 with mixer 32 and flocculant mixing tank 36 with mixer 38 introduce and mix the waste water from static mixers 60 with weighting agents and flocculant to form large floes of the weighting agent and the microflocs of particulate contaminants and/or large floes of the weighting agent and the precipitated dissolved contaminants and/or large floes of the weighting agent and any remaining oil particulates and/or large floes of any other particulates present in the waste processed, similar as discussed above with reference to Fig. 1. Separation subsystem 44' includes clarifier 70 which removes the large floes of the weighting agent and the microflocs of particulate contaminants, and/or the large floes of the weighting agent and precipitated dissolved contaminants and/or large floes weighting agent and any remaining oil particulates to provide a clear effluent on line 50', e.g., by rapid settling, as known by those skilled in the art.
In one design, contaminant removal subsystem 20' includes weighting agent recovery subsystem 46' for removing fine magnetized weighting agents from the clear effluent on line 50'. In one example, magnetic filter subsystem 72 and/or high shear subsystem 74 and/or magnetic wet drum separator 76 is used to remove and recover the weighting agent from the clear effluent in line 50'. Weighting agent recovery subsystem 70 recovers the weighting agent which is then recycled back to weighting agent mixing tanks, e.g., any of tank T-I to T-2, by line 78. See, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6,099,738 cited supra.
Although, as discussed above with reference to Figs. 1-4 above, gas floatation
and primary oil contaminant removal subsystem 12 is located before contaminant removal subsystem 20, this is not a necessary limitation of this invention. In another embodiment, system 10lv, Fig. 5, where like parts have been given like numbers, for removing dissolved contaminants, particulate contaminants, and oil contaminants from industrial waste water of this invention, may include gas floatation and primary oil contaminants removal subsystem 12 located after contaminant removal subsystem 20". In this embodiment, contaminant removal subsystem 20" receives flow of industrial waste water 14 by line 120. Subsystem 20' includes tanks 100 which receive coagulants 102 by line 103, weighting agents or magnetic ballast 104 by line 105 and a flocculant 106 by line 107. Mixing tanks 100 operate similar to coagulation mixing tank 24 with mixer 24, weighting agent mixing tank 30 with mixer 32, and flocculation mixing tank 36 with mixer 38, as described above with reference to Fig. 1. The output of mixing tanks 100 by line 103 is large floes of the weighting agent and oil contaminants, large floes of the weighting agent, and the micro floes of the particulate contaminants, and/or large floes of the weighting agent and the precipitated dissolved contaminants, and/or large floes of any other particulates present in the waste water. Clarifier 82 preferably removes the large floes by rapid sedimentation. Clarifier 82, Fig. 6, may also include skimmer 170, disposed inside clarifier 82, which coalesces the oil contained in the processed waste water, e.g., as shown at 172, and drives the coalesced oil particulates to the surface of the clarifier for removal as shown by arrow 174. Clarifier 82 with skimmer 170 may be utilized in any of the embodiments of system 10 discussed above with reference to Figs. 1-4. Gas floatation and primary oil contaminant removal subsystem 12', Fig. 5, of similar design as gas floatation and primary oil contaminant removal subsystem discussed above with reference to Fig. 1, receives the clear effluent output by clarifier on line
123 and introduces gaseous microspheres which combine with any remaining oil droplets in the waste water to form floes which float to the surface and are removed as recovered oil 18. The final clear effluent is output by line 50". Sludge 130 output by clarifier 82 by line 132 can the be re-circulated by line 110 to tanks 100 and/or processed by magnetic separator 114 which recycles the weighting agents by line 112 to mixing tanks 100. The final sludge 140 can be sent to filtration pond and incineration when the weighting agent is coal fines, indicated at 144. System 10lv may also be combined with system 10, Figs. 1-4, such that gas floatation and primary oil contaminant subsystem 12, 12', is located at before and after contaminant removal subsystem 20, 21'. Such a design is useful for applications requiring more complete removal of oil contaminants.
