Crude Oil Treating System

Gravity Separation Process

Posted on August 31, 2009October 30, 2012

Most oil-treating equipment relies on gravity to separate water droplets from the oil continuous phase, because water droplets are heavier than the volume of oil…

Stages Separation Selection

Posted on August 20, 2009October 29, 2012

As more stages are added to the process there is less and less incremental liquid recovery. The diminishing income for adding a stage must more…

Mechanical Design of Pressure Vessels

Separator Vessels Pressure Design

Posted on September 23, 2009October 30, 2012

The design pressure for a vessel is called its “Maximum Allowable Working Pressure” (MAWP). In conversation this is sometimes referred to simply as the vessel’s…

Pressure Vessels Maximum Allowable Stress Values

Posted on September 23, 2009October 29, 2012

The maximum allowable stress values to be used in the calculation of the vessel’s wall thickness are given in the ASME Code for many different…

Pressure Drop in Piping

Pressure Drop In Piping

Posted on September 25, 2009

Piping design in production facilities involves the selection of a pipe diameter and a wall thickness that is capable of transporting fluid from one piece…

Water Treating Theory

Water Treating Dispersion

Posted on September 3, 2009October 28, 2012

An oscillating droplet of oil becomes unstable when the kinetic energy is sufficient to make up for the difference in the surface energy between the…
