2. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oil–water_separator

   An API oil–water separator is a device designed to separate gross amounts of oil and suspended solids from industrial wastewater produced at oil refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and other industrial oily water sources.

3. 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.

4. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil–water_separator

   Downhole oil–water 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)

   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 ...

6. Coalescer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescer

   An alternative to this type of coalescer is a flow through pre-coalescer that is installed upstream in a separator tank. In the Compact Electrostatic Coalescer, [2] droplet coalescence is achieved by applying AC electric fields (50–60 Hz) to water-in-oil emulsions under turbulent-flow conditions. The turbulence increases the collision ...

7. Downhole oil–water separation technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downhole_oil–water...

   This allows the intake of a DOWS system to receive the petroleum and water mixture. In some types of DOWS systems, a pump will force the received mixture through the oil/water separation system. In some DOWS systems, the pressure of the fluids in the borehole will be enough to force the water-rich stream into a permeable zone below the DOWS system.

8. Oil production plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_production_plant

   An oil production plant is a facility which processes production fluids from oil wells in order to separate out key components and prepare them for export. Typical oil well production fluids are a mixture of oil, gas and produced water. An oil production plant is distinct from an oil depot, which does not have processing facilities.

9. Induced gas flotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_gas_flotation

   The small bubbles adhere to the suspended matter causing the suspended matter to float to the surface of the water where it may then be removed by a skimming device. Induced gas flotation is very widely used in treating the industrial wastewater effluents from oil refineries , petrochemical and chemical plants , natural gas processing plants ...
