Oil Water Separation

An industrial facility imports oily wastes and separated them using a thermal process. The process raises the oil water temperature to 180 degrees F and uses insulated tanks to obtain an oil/water split. The facility had a 3-day workweek processing 100-200K gallons/day and then maintenance of the equipment the rest of the workweek and often weekend(s). The majority of the work was keeping the ...

Field-Proven Removal of Dissolved and Dispersed Hydrocarbons at Commercial Scale from Offshore Produced Water by the Macro Porous Polymer-Extraction Technology

During offshore production of gas, condensate and oil, water is co produced in significant amounts and discharged into the sea. For dispersed oil (“free oil”) emission standards of 40 ppm or higher are applied, depending on local legislation. However for dissolved hydrocarbons such as Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl, Ethylbenzene, Xylene etc. (Aromatics), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH's), ...

Advanced treatment of heavy oil wastewater for reuse by the combination of microwave enhanced coagulation and iron/carbon micro-electrolysis

A combination process was developed in laboratory scale including microwave (MW) coagulation and iron/carbon micro-electrolysis (Fe/C ME) in series for treatment of heavy oil produced water (HOPW) with high concentrations of oil and chemical oxygen demand and high corrosion rates. The effects of coagulant dosage, MW irradiation time, settling time, and Fe:C mass ratio on the actual treatment ...

A study on the quantities and potential use of produced water in southern Iraq

This paper presents the results of an analysis of volumes and chemical composition of produced water (PW) accompanying oil production from five of the largest oilfields in the world situated in Basrah, Iraq. PW is potentially a valuable water resource particularly there where the ramp up of oil production puts further strains on water and the environment in an area already having severe water ...

$World Oil: Proppant-sized solid inhibitors improve flow assurance in fraced wells$

World Oil: Proppant-sized solid inhibitors improve flow assurance in fraced wells

The economic value of a hydraulically fractured well is highly dependent upon flow assurance—that is, maintaining unimpeded flow of hydrocarbons from the formation to the surface. Flow assurance issues occur in hydraulically fractured wells, as a result of the deposition and buildup of naturally occurring particulates that are present in the system during hydrocarbon production. Scale is ...

Macro-porous Polymer Extraction for Offshore Produced Water Removes Dissolved and Dispersed Hydrocarbons

Untitled Document Summary: The macro-porous polymer extraction (MPPE) technology developed in the early 1990s by Akzo Nobel removes dissolved and dispersed hydrocarbons. MPPE is basically a liquid–liquid extraction process where the extraction liquid is immobilised in a macroporous polymer particle. This technology can remove compounds with a lower polarity than water ...

BP Schiehallion - produced water degasser

Client: BP Schiehallion - UK In July 2004 BP was required to take its produced water degasser on the Schiehallion FPSO offline for essential upgrade work. Without a replacement technology BP potentially faced a production shutdown during repairs. CETCO offered its CrudeSep® technology to BP as a temporary degasser vessel. In addition to oil and solids removal the CrudeSep® also acts as an ...

Paint

Problem: A paint manufacturer, that produces both oil and water based paints, needed help to solve their liquid sludge problem. At that time the wastewater was batch treated and consisted of a chemical addition process followed by settling. This was to be changed in the near future to a continuous type treatment system. The settled sludge consistency varied form 5% to 10%. The plant wanted to ...

Sources of Error in oil in Water Measurerments and Their Impact on Comparing Oil in Water Monitors - Case study

1 Introduction The technology for measuring oil in produced water is changing in response to regulatory changes and the need for reducing environmental impacts. Evaluating new measurement technology and methods for measuring oil is complicated by the nature of oil as a parameter. Since, in effect, oil is defined by the method specified to measure it; comparing methods can be a complicated ...
