Multifunctional oil-gas-water separator «HEATER-TREATER»

Function and area of implementation

Oil gas water separator (OGWS) is a modular plant oil treatment, constructively combining electrical dehydrators with oil heating units and separation.

General technical characteristics, essence of invention

OGWS is a block horizontal three-phase separator with built-in direct heat-pipe for heating and degassing of crude oil, which is additionally equipped with sections of electrostatic coalescence, louver packings, reticulate bumper (spray and fog catcher), vortex gas-moisture separator. During operating of the device as a fuel gas only petroleum gas is used which is released in the device during degassing of oil.

Comparison with world analogues, main advantages of invention

OGWS features of multifunctionality and versatility, has high predictive values of separation efficiency in a wide range of productivity, pressure, temperature and degree of hydration of an oil-water emulsion.

The estimated payback period of new gas-separators of inertial-filtering type – up to 3 years; in the case of modernization of existing separation equipment – up to 1.5 years.
