Abstract:A large amount of heavy oil wastewater is produced in an oil field, while steam extraction of oil needs enough clean water. The combined effect of them resulted in the shortage of water resources. In order to achieve good economic and social benefits, a 20 m3·h?1 mechanical vapor compression process for wastewater recovery was designed in this study. The system could utilize the low temperature waste heat of heavy oil wastewater, had low energy consumption in operation and low requirement for the influent wastewater quality. The water quality parameters of condensed water from the system effluent were as follows: total effluent hardness ≤182.30 mg·L?1, Cl?≤10.00 mg·L?1, Ca2+≤1.00 mg·L?1, oily ≤2.00 mg·L?1, electrical conductivity (25 °C) ≤60.00 μS·cm?1, silica ≤3.50 mg·L?1, and it met the quality standards of steam injection boiler feed-water. Based on the analysis of operation results of MVC process, the influence degrees of boiling point rising, concentration factor, condensate water quality and fouling and so on were determined, especially the influencing factors and change trend of condensed water quality. The process established a practical foundation for large-scale treatment of heavy oil wastewater and realization of zero discharge. Key words:heavy oil wastewater/ condensed water/ energy consumption/ mechanical vapor compression/ concentration factor.
