  2. Architecture of the oil tanker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_the_oil_tanker

    Oil tankers generally have from 8 to 12 tanks. [1] Each tank is split into two or three independent compartments by fore-and-aft bulkheads. [1] The tanks are numbered with tank one being the forwardmost. Individual compartments are referred to by the tank number and the athwartships position, such as "one port", "three starboard", or "six ...

  3. Oily water separator (marine) - Wikipedia

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

    Marine Oily water separator. A gravity plate separator contains a series of oleophilic plates through which the contaminated water flows. The oil in the water coalesces on the underside of the plate eventually forming droplets before coalescing into liquid oil which floats off the plates and accumulates at the top of the chamber.

  4. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilwater_separator

    Downhole oilwater separation (DOWS) technology is an emerging technology that separates oil and gas from produced water at the bottom of the well, and re-injects most of the produced water into another formation which is usually deeper than the producing formation, while the oil and gas rich stream is pumped to the surface.

  5. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

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

    Oil and gas separators can have three general configurations: vertical, horizontal, and spherical.Vertical separators can vary in size from 10 or 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet seam to seam (S to S) up to 10 or 12 feet in diameter and 15 to 25 feet S to S. Horizontal separators may vary in size from 10 or 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet S to S up to 15 to 16 feet in diameter and ...

    An API oil-water separator, for removing separate phase oil from wastewater. [43]: 180 A clarifier, for removing solids from wastewater. [44]: 41–15 A roughing filter, to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand of wastewater. [44]: 23–11 A carbon filtration plant, to remove toxic dissolved organic compounds from wastewater. [43]: 210

  7. Centrifugal water–oil separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_wateroil...

    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.
