A scrubber is a two-phase separator that is designed to recover liquids carried over from the gas outlets of production separators or to catch liquids…
The specific gravity difference between the dispersed water droplets and the oil should result in the water “sinking” to the bottom of the treatment vessel.…
TEMA standards provide for two classes of shell and tube exchanger qualities. Class C is the less stringent and is typically used in onshore applications…
In the gravity settling section the liquid drops will settle at a velocity determined by equating the gravity force on the drop with the drag…
In order to develop a treater design procedure, the water droplet size to be used in the settling equation to achieve a given outlet water…
All ASME Code vessels are inspected by an approved Code inspector. The manufacturer will supply Code papers signed by the inspector. The nameplate on the…
The droplet diameter is the most important single parameter to control to aid in water settling since this term is squared in the settling equation.…
Hydrocarbon streams as produced at the wellhead are composed of a mixture of gas, liquid hydrocarbons, and sometimes free water. In most cases it is…
In the past, it was common to direct the water to be treated through a bed of excelsior or another similar medium, as shown in…
The choice of separator operating pressures in a multistage system is large. For large facilities many options should be investigated before a final choice is…
