  2. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilwater_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.

  3. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oilwater_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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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.

    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.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Separation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process

    A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or a solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures, [1] a scientific process of separating two or more substances in order to obtain purity. At least one product mixture from the separation is enriched in one or more of the source mixture's constituents.

  9. Basic sediment and water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_sediment_and_water

    ASTM method D4007 [2] or API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards chapter 10.4 [3] are commonly used to measure BS&W. These methods both consist of mixing equal volumes of solvent and crude oil then centrifuging in order to separate any solids, free water, or suspended particles.
