Simulation Analysis of Sedimentation Separation of Suspended Solids Sewage in Oil Field Based on COMSOL

Abstract

After oil and water separation, the produced sewage needs to be treated in a series of ways and injected into the ground if it reaches the discharge standard in oilfields. Sedimentation separation is one of the most important process. In order to study the law of settlement, a set of settlement simulation device was set up, and the raw wastewater was extracted from the oil production plant for settlement experiment, and the relevant data were gathered. Comsol software is used to model and analyse the model. Through comparing the calculation results with the experimental data, the velocity and concentration of liquid-solid two-phase medium change rules are concluded, which lays a foundation for further research on efficient treatment of oilfield sewage.
