A liquid separator system having a gas phase zone, an aqueous phase zone and a denser liquid zone is used to separate mixtures of fluids. The separator can be used for separating molten sulfur from liquid redox solution or reslurry water. The system includes a vessel with a top part and a bottom part. The vessel has a larger diameter at the top part than at the bottom part. The system also includes an inlet for introducing a redox solution or reslurry water and molten sulfur, which is denser than redox solution or reslurry water, into the vessel. An outlet near the bottom part of the vessel allows a flow of the molten sulfur from the vessel. An interface control structure senses an interface level between the redox solution or reslurry water and the molten sulfur, and the interface control structure controls the flow of molten sulfur from the outlet. The interface control structure is adjusted to optimally alter the vertical height of the interface level within the vessel so that the residence time of the molten sulfur in the vessel does not decrease as the sulfur production throughput decreases, and so that the interface area of the molten sulfur and the redox solution is reduced as the sulfur throughput decreases. A pressure controller monitors the pressure in the vessel and adds or removes gas from a gas phase zone in the vessel to maintain a predetermined pressure regardless of the vertical height of the interface. 1.

Oil-water separator

Принадлежит: KING FAHD UNIVERSITY OF PETROLEUM AND MINERALS

The oil-water separator is installed in a substantially horizontal crude oil pipeline for separating water from the oil and water mix. The separator includes a vortex and settling chamber extending downward from the pipeline. The segment of the pipeline having the separator defines a generally T-shaped configuration. Oil and water phases flowing through the pipeline drop into the chamber as it flows through the pipeline and over the chamber. The denser water tends to settle into the bottom of the chamber, while the lighter oil is entrained back into the flow through the pipeline. A sensor detects water collected in the bottom of the chamber and provides a signal to open a drain valve when sufficient water has been collected. While only a single separator serves to collect a substantial fraction of water, a series of separators may be installed along the pipe to remove more water from the oil.

A treatment process for an aqueous phase which contains oil droplets, possibly of 10-50 nm diameter, in aqueous flow from a hydrocyclone separator, comprises bringing the water into contact with a surface subdivided into areas of differing surface energy and affinity for oil and such that when the surface is submerged in an aqueous phase, oil droplets adhere to it with an apparent contact angle in a range from 90 to 150 degrees. Areas of the surface may reduce their affinity for oil in response to an external stimulus causing controlled release of droplets adhering to the surface. The process may be used to remove oil droplets from water produced by an oil or gas well, after downhole oil water separation or after production at a at a well head, or used to coalesce droplets in such water to a larger size to enable conventional separation.

A system is disclosed in which water-saturated desiccant in a dehydration unit, having previously been used to dehydrate natural gas, is regenerated in a closed loop process using liquid petroleum gas (LPG). LPG is pumped from a storage tank, vaporized and superheated. The superheated LPG gas enters the dehydration unit such that the hot gas passes over the desiccant thereby regenerating the desiccant. An overhead stream from the dehydration unit passes to a condenser where the temperature of the hot gas from the dehydration unit is dropped to form a fluid stream containing LPG, water and non-condensable gases. The fluid stream passes to a three phase separator for separating the fluid stream into a gas stream, a water stream, and a liquid stream containing LPG which is then returned to the storage tank for reuse in the closed loop process. 1.

Online measurement of dispersed oil phase in produced water can be implemented a method on-site of a flowline transporting a fluid that includes dispersed oil in water. A sample of the fluid flowed through the flowline is obtained. The sample includes the oil phase and the water phase. The sample is combined with a chemical element that can separate the oil phase in the sample from the water phase in the sample. The separated oil phase and the chemical element are transferred into a measurement cell. The chemical element is removed from the measurement cell. After the chemical element is removed from the measurement cell, a quantity of the oil phase in the sample in the measurement cell is determined by a capacitive measurement technique. The determined quantity of the oil phase in the sample is provided. 1. A method implemented on-site of a flowline transporting a fluid comprising an oil phase and a water phase , the method comprising:obtaining a sample of the fluid flowed through the flowline, wherein the sample comprises the oil phase and the water phase;combining the sample with a chemical element configured to separate the oil phase in the sample from the water phase in the sample;transferring the separated oil phase and the chemical element into a measurement cell;removing the chemical element from the measurement cell;after removing the chemical element from the measurement cell, determining a quantity of the oil phase in the sample in the measurement cell by a capacitive measurement technique; andproviding the determined quantity of the oil phase in the sample.2.
