The internal structure and the working principle of gravity oil-water separator used for self-circulation well-flushing equipment were given. Based on CFD, the flow field was calculated and analyzed with partition plate settings. The influences on separation efficiency were analyzed, according to velocity vector diagrams and oil drop trajectory diagrams. The results show that the location of the primary partition plate is installed more reasonable, the efficiency of separation is more advantage. Also, the structure and size of the primary partition plate and the size of the auxiliary partition plate can influence the efficiency of oil-water separation regularly.
The internal structure and the working principle of gravity oil-water separator used for self-circulation well-flushing equipment were introduced. Based on CFD, the flow field was calculated and analyzed with different quantities of horizontal deflectors and inclined deflectors in the separator. According to velocity vector diagrams and oil drop trajectory diagrams with different number of horizontal deflectors and inclined deflectors, the influence rules on separation efficiency were analyzed. The results show that the separation efficiency is improved gradually with the amount of horizontal deflectors increased, and the optimal value of separation efficiency is 3 inclined deflectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
