OFFSHORE OIL-WATER SEPARATION
Compact separation and control packages configured around platform space, fluid properties, and downstream treatment requirements.
DEFINE THE SYSTEM AROUND THE MEDIUM + DUTY
Produced fluid or crude is conditioned at the inlet and separated in the vessel. Coalescing internals or an electric field can be added where fine droplets require further growth.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
OFFSHORE PLATFORMS & FPSO
INLET CONDITIONING + GRAVITY SETTLING
INTERFACE CONTROL + CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
PACKAGE EQUIPMENT + RETROFITS
CONSIDER EQUIPMENT, PROCESS + CONTROL AS ONE BOUNDARY
Produced fluid or crude is conditioned at the inlet and separated in the vessel. Coalescing internals or an electric field can be added where fine droplets require further growth.
Equipment arrangement, throughput, hazardous-area class, maintenance access, and control interfaces must be confirmed for the specific platform.
Final configuration follows the project data sheet, technical agreement, and approved documents; website content does not replace engineering selection.
ENGINEER THE DETAILS FOR STABLE OPERATION
Clear inlet conditions, outlet targets, and control boundaries reduce the risk of equipment selection drifting away from the actual duty.
Sampling, draining, cleaning, maintenance, and abnormal-condition protection should be considered during design.
Retrofit projects also require confirmation of tie-ins, shutdown windows, plot constraints, and hazardous-area classification.
COMMON PROJECT QUESTIONS
What information should be provided first?+
Provide the medium, throughput, pressure and temperature range, inlet conditions, outlet targets, site utilities, and project stage.
Can the equipment be retrofitted into an existing unit?+
A retrofit can be assessed after confirming tie-ins, available space, shutdown window, control system, and existing equipment condition.
Are website values guaranteed performance?+
No. Guaranteed values are defined in the project data sheet and contract technical agreement after clarification.
Can controls be included?+
Instrumentation, valves, local controls, and DCS / SIS interfaces can be configured within the agreed supply boundary.
What delivery documents are available?+
The document scope can include drawings, data sheets, inspection records, test reports, operation and maintenance information, and packing lists.
How is delivery timing established?+
Schedule depends on technical input completeness, design approval, procurement, manufacturing, inspection, and transport conditions.
