Oil Level Sensors: Monitoring Oil-Water Interface for Separation Efficiency
Overview In the extraction of petroleum (oil) by hydraulic fracturing, oil flows to the well emulsified with fracturing water. As part of the extraction operation, oil and water are separated at the well site. Separation also occurs at the refinery, where crude oil from the well site contains water that must be removed before refining. Separation vessels or separators are used for the process, ...

Should you Buy a Wastewater Evaporator?
Industrial wastewater varies dependent on the factory in question and what the water is being used to clean or lubricate during the manufacturing process. Some facilities wash machine parts to remove oil, resulting in an oily wastewater. Other manufacturers commingle water of various uses. For example, dirt and oil from mop water, metal fines and dissolved metals from tumbler wastewater, and ...

Helpful Techniques for Evaporating Oily Wastewater
Oily wastewater is a very common type of wastewater generated by industrial facilities. The metal working, wire drawing, machine building, ink manufacturing, some food processing operations and others generate oily wastewater streams. Before considering techniques for evaporation, it is important to understand the nature of oil in water. Oil can take two forms in water—either free or ...

Selective Evaporation
Most industrial facilities generate numerous streams of wastewater. Generally, they are all co-mingled in trenches, sumps, or equalization tanks. Often, several of the wastewater sources are very mildly contaminated. They may be so mild that they could discharge into the sewer either untreated or with a simple treatment like running through an oil/water separator or a bag filter. However, ...

Application of the Field Scale Test Protocol for Type I Sorbents Recovering Oil on Water
Abstract There presently exists no industry recognized test protocol for the evaluation of a sorbent product within a simulated environment fundamentally analogous to typical field conditions. Of particular note, existing standards do not offer a method for quantifying sorbent performance when deployed for the recovery of oil on water or evaluating sorbents at full or meso-scale size. While the ...

Case Study: Oil-Water Interface Detection
A well site required a reliable, low-maintenance solution to monitor the interface between oil and water in a crude tank. Crude oil is temporarily stored in tanks onsite before being transported to the refinery for processing. Crude oil extracted from the oil wells contains water and other impurities. Efficient onsite separation is essential for maximizing the yield of valuable product sent to ...
