  2. Oil purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_Purification

    Oil filtration systems generally use a multistage filtration with coarse and fine filters. [2] Centrifugation is separation of oil and water, or oil and solid particles by centrifugal forces. Vacuum treatment degasses and dehydrates industrial oil. This method is well suited for removing dispersed and dissolved water, as well as dissolved gases ...

  3. Aqueous two-phase system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_two-phase_system

    It is a common observation that when oil and water are poured into the same container, they separate into two phases or layers, because they are immiscible.In general, aqueous (or water-based) solutions, being polar, are immiscible with non-polar organic solvents (cooking oil, chloroform, toluene, hexane etc.) and form a two-phase system.

  4. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    The most efficient method of industrial oil degassing is vacuum processing, which removes air and water solved in the oil. [6] This can be achieved by: spraying of oil in large vacuum chambers; distributing the oil into a thin layer over special surfaces (spiral rings, Raschig rings etc) in vacuum chambers.

  5. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oilwater_separator

    Further water treatment is designed to remove oil droplets smaller than 150 micron, dissolved materials and hydrocarbons, heavier oils or other contaminants not removed by the API. Secondary treatment technologies include dissolved air flotation (DAF) , Anaerobic and Aerobic biological treatment, Parallel Plate Separators, Hydrocyclone , Walnut ...

  6. Industrial wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Industrial_wastewater_treatment

    Industrial wastewater treatment describes the processes used for treating wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product. After treatment, the treated industrial wastewater (or effluent) may be reused or released to a sanitary sewer or to a surface water in the environment.

  7. Barium iodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_iodide

    Barium iodide is an inorganic compound with the formula BaI 2.The compound exists as an anhydrous and a hydrate (BaI 2 (H 2 O) 2), both of which are white solids.When heated, hydrated barium iodide converts to the anhydrous salt.

  8. Water injection (oil production) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(oil...

    In the oil industry, waterflooding or water injection is where water is injected into the oil reservoir, to maintain the pressure (also known as voidage replacement), or to drive oil towards the wells, and thereby increase production. Water injection wells may be located on- and offshore, to increase oil recovery from an existing reservoir.

  9. Dewatering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewatering

    Pumps being used to dewater a spillway at Baldhill Dam. Dewatering / d iː ˈ w ɔː t ər ɪ ŋ / is the removal of water from a location. This may be done by wet classification, centrifugation, filtration, or similar solid-liquid separation processes, such as removal of residual liquid from a filter cake by a filter press as part of various industrial processes.
