Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a dissolving stage and to improve safety by adding the same amt. of a solvent to the sludge in the bottom part of a crude oil tank, and circulating and heating the same in the petroleum heating furnace of an atmospheric distiller then passing the separated oil to an atmospheric distillation tower. CONSTITUTION:After crude oil 9 is transferred from an other tank onto the sludge 1 on a crude oil tank 2, the solvent crude oil is circulated through an existing bypass line 11, an existing petroleum heating furnace 12, an existing atmospheric distillation tower 13 and an existing slop line 14 by means of a pump 10 for supplying crude oil to the atmospheric distillation tower. Here, a bypass line 11 is tentatively installed to a crude oil preheater group 15 and a pre-still 16 and the oil is passed therethrough in order to prevent the contamination by the sludge particles dissolved in the circulating crude oil 9. The oil 9 is heated up to 110 deg.C in the furnace 12; thereafter, the oil is returned through the tower 13 and the line 14 then through a line 8 to the original tank 2.

Tank sludge is a mixture of wax, heavy oil, muddy water, etc. with a high pour point, and accumulates over time due to crude oil brought in when receiving and discharging crude oil, rusted pipes, etc. These sludges must be removed and disposed of during periodic inspections required by law, which requires a great deal of cost and time.

Conventionally, heat dissolution treatment for sludge sludge includes a heat dissolution treatment method using solvent oil and a heat dissolution treatment method using hot water, but these conventional methods are explained using Figure 1. Crude oil or light oil is introduced as a solvent oil 3 into the crude oil tank 2 in which sludge:crude oil is deposited at a sludge:crude oil ratio of 1:1 to 1.5. Next, the steam is sent to a temporary steam heater 6 by a temporary reciprocating pump 5 driven by the steam 4. The solvent oil 3 sent to the steam heater 6 is heated and then a temporary return line 7
After that, it returns to the crude oil tank 2 through the drain discharge line 8.

As described above, the temperature of the solvent oil 3ij is increased as time elapses, and after confirming that the sludge wax has melted at around 60° C., the circulation is stopped. On the other hand, the hot water method uses aqua regia or seawater in place of crude oil or light oil as the solvent oil in the above-mentioned method, and also uses a sludge dispersant.

In some cases, the hard sludge remaining in these melting processes (secondary treatment) is physically removed by further secondary treatment.
The final step is cleaning (scraping by hand) and cleaning of the crude oil tank. The dissolution process according to the conventional method usually takes 10 to 15 days, and the entire process takes about 40 days.

In the conventional heating melting process, sludge treatment is generally carried out around the tank, and it is undesirable to bring temporary electrical equipment into the tank site, so a small-capacity steam-driven reciprocating pump and an oil-heating furnace are used. In comparison, it is necessary to use a steam heater with a small heat load, and therefore the rate of temperature rise of the oil (water) in the tank is forced to be slow. In addition, since the composition of the circulating oil hardly changes, the vapor pressure of light hydrocarbons increases as the oil temperature rises, increasing the concentration of hydrocarbon gas around the processing tank and increasing the danger of work. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and aims to increase the amount of oil passing by using a large-capacity crude oil distillation column supply pump in place of the conventional steam-driven reciprocating pump. Instead of a steam heater, the heating source is an oil-fired furnace with a high heat load to shorten the sludge melting time, and to collect light hydrocarbons equivalent to LPG in the subsequent distillation column. The purpose is to suppress the generation of hydrocarbon gas in the surrounding area and improve safety.

That is, in the present invention, approximately the same amount of crude oil or light oil (co-oil) is added as a solvent to the sludge deposited at the bottom of a crude oil tank, and the sludge is circulated and heated using a heating source to dissolve the waxes contained in the sludge into the solvent. This is a sludge treatment method that separates solids and oil after sludge treatment, which uses an oil heating furnace in an atmospheric distillation unit as a heating source to speed up the dissolution rate, and passes oil through an atmospheric distillation column to separate light sludge. This is a method for heating and dissolving crude oil tank sludge, which is characterized by reducing the hydrocarbon gas atmosphere near the processing tank by collecting oil.

Transfer crude oil 96,500 from another tank onto L3. After that, it is passed through a temporary bypass line 11, an existing oil heating furnace 12, an existing atmospheric distillation column 13, and an existing slop line 14 to the existing atmospheric distillation column crude oil supply pump 10, which has a relatively large flow meter. The solvent crude oil 3 is circulated at a rate of 18,011 hours per hour. At this time, the crude oil preheating exchanger group 15 and the pre-distillation column 16 are circulating crude oil? A bypass line 11 was temporarily installed to prevent contamination by sludge particles dispersed in bamboo, and oil was passed through the bypass line 11. The solvent-resistant crude oil 9 is circulated in the above-mentioned IIf\, but is first heated to 110°C in the oil heating furnace 12 with a high heat load, and then in the atmospheric distillation column 13 as a low boiling point fraction equivalent to hexane or lower. A little less than 4 parts by volume of Solvent Crude Oil 9 were collected from 100 parts by volume of Solvent Crude Oil, and the temperature was lowered to 90°C in a cooler 18 in order to prevent the solvent crude oil 9 from boiling, and then it was temporarily connected via the existing slop line 14. Drain the drain L11 line 8 and return to the original crude oil tank 2.

In crude oil tank 2, the pour point of sludge 1 is +50℃
In consideration of this and suppression of increase in hydrocarbon gas concentration, the average oil temperature of the solvent crude oil was controlled to be 60° C. or lower. As time passes, the wax and oil in the sludge are dispersed and dissolved in the circulating crude oil, increasing the oil temperature, pour point, kinematic viscosity, and muddy water content. The end point of sludge dissolution was taken as the point at which each of these properties reached a constant weight value, and this dissolution process took only 145 hours (approximately 6 days). The remaining sludge after the melting process of the shredded material is shown in Table 2 below. 1) and 2) have the same meaning as in Table 1.
