Skills of separators mainly include selecting suitable separators, adjusting separator parameters, correct operation and maintenance.
Selecting suitable separators
Select the type of separator according to the separation requirements: Different mixtures require different types of separators. For example, flotation separation is suitable for removing tiny oil droplets in water, while gravity separation is suitable for sedimentation separation of oil-water mixtures. Consider the capacity and processing capacity of the separator: Make sure that the selected separator can handle the required amount of mixture to avoid affecting the separation effect due to insufficient capacity. Adjust separator parameters
Adjust speed, temperature and pressure: Before using the separator, adjust the speed, temperature and pressure parameters according to the properties of the mixture to achieve the best separation effect. Optimize separation conditions: Through experiments and actual operations, gradually adjust and optimize the parameters of the separator to ensure the best separation effect. Correct operation and maintenance
Preparation before initial startup: Clean the oil tank and drum, check the operating water pressure, and ensure that all parts of the equipment are flexible and without abnormalities. Start and run: After starting the motor, observe the ammeter to ensure that the current is within the normal range. After the machine reaches full speed, preheat and feed operations.
Daily maintenance: Clean the separator regularly, check whether the parts are working properly, and replace the lubricating oil in time.
Shutdown procedure: First close the feed pipe valve, rinse the drum with hot water, and close the motor and operate the water valve after draining the heavy phase.
Techniques for different types of separators
Floatation separation: Rely on tiny bubbles to carry flocs to the liquid surface for purification. Suitable for removing tiny oil droplets in water.
Gravity separation: Sedimentation separation is carried out by using the density difference of oil, gas and water. The separation efficiency is improved by increasing the water density and increasing the sedimentation rate.
Coarse evaporation of emulsified water: Use solid substances (such as ceramsite) to increase the probability of water droplet collision and agglomeration, which is suitable for oil-water separation in oil fields and refineries.
Centrifugal separation: Use the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to separate oil and water. Suitable for places that require high efficiency and small equipment size.
