With the expansion of heavy oil production, production water treatment has become the key. Flotation cyclone technology combines the advantages of flotation and cyclone and has important applications in the treatment of produced water in heavy oil fields. This paper introduces the application background, principle and advantages of flotation cyclone technology, including the flotation effect to achieve floating separation by generating bubbles and oil droplets adhering, and the cyclone principle uses centrifugal force to promote oil-water separation. The combination of the two makes this technology have the advantages of efficient treatment and compact design. Finally, the important role of this technology in the treatment of produced water in heavy oil fields is summarized, and the future research direction is prospected, including further optimizing the technology, exploring more efficient bubble generation methods and equipment improvements, etc., which will play an important role in achieving the sustainable development of heavy oil fields and energy conservation and emission reduction goals.
