2. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oil–water_separator

   The API separator is a gravity separation device designed using Stokes' law principles that define the rise velocity of oil droplets based on their density, size and water properties. The design of the separator is based on the specific gravity difference between the oil and the wastewater because that difference is much smaller than the ...

3. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil–water_separator

   Not all oil separator types are capable of separating all contaminants. The most common performance parameters considered are: Oil droplet size (in the feed to the separator) Oil density; Water viscosity (temperature) Discharge water quality desired; Feed oil concentration and the range of oil concentrations likely

4. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

   A heated-water bath is probably the most effective method of removing foam bubbles from foaming crude oil. A heated-water bath is not practical in most oil and gas separators, but heat can be added to the oil by direct or indirect fired heaters and/or heat exchangers, or heated free-water knockouts or emulsion treaters can be used to obtain a ...

5. Centrifugal water–oil separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_water–oil...

   In a centrifugal oil and water separator, the force of gravity is one-thousand [citation needed] times greater that of the coalescing plate pack separator or the petrol interceptor, so the separation is much greater. Not only is the force of separation greater, but there are fewer working parts so maintenance is much easier and cheaper.

6. Oily water separator (marine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oily_water_separator_(marine)

   An oily water separator (OWS) (marine) is a piece of equipment specific to the shipping or marine industry. It is used to separate oil and water mixtures into their separate components. This page refers exclusively to oily water separators aboard marine vessels.

8. Oil production plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_production_plant

   Produced water, the densest phase, settles out at the bottom of the separator, oil floats on the top of the produced water phase, and gas occupies the upper part of the separator. [8] The separator is sized to provide a liquid residence time of 3 to 5 minutes which is sufficient for light crude oil (>35° API) as produced in the North Sea.

9. Souders–Brown equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souders–Brown_equation

   The following sizing methodology is based on the assumption that those flow rates are known. Use a vertical pressure vessel with a length–diameter ratio of about 3 to 4, and size the vessel to provide about 5 minutes of liquid inventory between the normal liquid level and the bottom of the vessel (with the normal liquid level being somewhat ...
