Typically oil and produced water are initially separated in a production separator which is essentially a ‘knockout’ tank. This may involve heating or coalescing to ensure the maximum amount of preliminary oil/water separation. The produced water recovered at this stage can contain varying amounts of free oil from 500 to 10,000 ppm. To be allowed to discharge this water safely into the environment, further treatment is necessary. eProcess supplies a comprehensive range of process packages which utilize at the heart of the system, liquid-liquid hydrocyclones. Furthermore additional conventional ‘add-on’ technologies are also utilized when specific process conditions dictate. This additional equipment requirement recognizes the difficulty of some water treatment systems, and the fact that one single piece equipment can not always meet some of the tough specifications required.]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.au.all.biz/g583/ http://www.au.all.biz/g585/ Solids identification, separation, and handling is a relatively recently acknowledged requirement for optimal oil and gas production. Solids present in oil, water and gas fluids have devastating effects on the mechanical integrity, and process separation performance of many systems. eProcess is a technology leader in the use of cyclonic based solid-liquids separation technologies, including desanding cyclones, and provides the most comprehensive approach on how to deal with this very real problem.]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.au.all.biz/g585/ http://www.au.all.biz/g587/ The use of Gas Liquid Cyclones (GLC), and Axial Flow Cyclones (AFC) provide cost effective and efficient compact gas liquid separation. GLC's are used either external or internal to production separators or other gravity based systems, whereas the AFC's are typically used externally. Multiphase fluids enter the top of a GLC tangentially and rotate from the action of the centrifugal forces. The heavier liquids are forced to the wall of the cyclone, and travel down to the underflow outlet, while the lighter gas phase migrates to a central core and migrates in the opposite direction and exits the overflow. Multiphase fluids enter the base of an AFC and rotate from the action of centrifugal forces. Stationary helical vanes force the heavier liquids to the wall of the cyclone, and the lighter gas phase migrates to the centre. Dry gas is separated and directed to the outlet stream, and the remaining partially degassed multiphase stream continues axially through the separator.]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.au.all.biz/g587/
