The parallel plate interceptor (PPI) is the early form of a plate coalescer. The basic design of parallel plate interceptor is a series of plates…
A vortex set is used to disperse gas bubbles in the stream on dispersed gas units. The figure above shows a dispersed gas units with…
The SP Pack separator is developed by Paragon Engineering Services, this separator creates turbulent flow by forcing the water to flow through a serpentine pipe…
Dissolved gas unit allows the water and gas saturation in a contactor. A typical Dissolved gas unit works on 20 to 40 psig contact pressure,…
Corrugated plate interceptor (CPI) is the most common parallel plate interceptor in oil facilities. CPI is an improvement of the PPI, CPI take less area…
A small increase in water droplet diameter will increase the settling rate since water droplet is squared in the settling equation. The water droplet size…
The gravity force is commonly used in oil treating equipment to separate the water from the oil in continues phase; the water droplet tends to…
We can use plate coalescers to improve gravity separation process, a plate coalescers can be formed as internal plates on skim tanks or vessels. The…
The non-water substance appearance in crude is the major cause of foam in crude problems. Those substances will not be removed until the crude enters…
Crude oil outputted from production separator may contain some water. The water is removed from crude oil through an oil treating process. There are factors…
