Abstract:In order to explore ways to reduce energy consumption in thermal desorption equipment, the process parameters optimization of the thermal desorption process treating oil-based cuttings in a well of Xinjiang Oilfield was studied. The result showed that under the standard of residual oil content less than 2%, when the heating temperature, residence time, and solid phase content of oil-based cuttings were in range of 350~550 °C, 35~55 min, and 60%~90%, respectively, the residual oil content after thermal desorption treating the oil-based cuttings could meet the requirements. Among the above ranges, energy consumption was taken as the evaluation index, the study with the response surface method indicated that the interaction terms of single factor variables had significant impacts on the energy consumption. When the heating temperature decreased from 550 °C to 430 °C, and the residence time decreased from 45 min to 40 minutes, the energy consumption could be saved by 17.47%, and the residual oil content reached less than 0.3%. This research shows that adjusting the process parameters of thermal desorption energy could achieve saving and consumption reduction on the premise of meeting the standard for the residual oil content after thermal desorption treating the oil-based cuttings, aiming at providing support for the reasonable setting of the operating parameters of the thermal desorption device treating oil-based cuttings. Key words:oil-based cuttings/ thermal desorption/ response surface methodology/ process parameters optimization/ energy.
