In response to the dependence on fossil fuel for oilfield settling tank heating, this study proposes a solar coupled gas boiler heating system for translucent domed settling tank to pursue the low carbonization of oilfield settling tank heating method. However, the energy performance of the proposed system affected by the critical parameters (translucency of dome, skimming scheme, and temperature difference between the collector outlet and the phase change storage box) is vaguely, which hinder the practical application of this technology. Therefore, a simulation platform for solar coupled gas boiler heating system for translucent domed settling tank is established, and the above-mentioned parameters are analyzed numerically. The results show that the annual gas consumption reduced by 27.49 GJ due to the involvement of solar energy when use of translucent dome. The scheme C (4:00––8:00) is the best choice in terms of reducing gas consumption, which the value is reduced by 101.72 GJ than that of scheme G. The temperature difference control scheme of 6/1 exhibits the highest solar utilization, which and the annual heat supply from solar collector and translucent dome are 382.66 GJ and 208.18 GJ, as well as the gas consumption and CO2 emission decreased by 96.51 %, 502.076 t/year compared to pure gas-fired boiler heating system. The work proves the application of solar energy in oilfield settling tank can achieve the pursue of emission reduction.
