At-a-Glance: FPSO crude separation follows a multi-stage, three-phase path: controlled inlet and slug damping ? HP/MP/LP separation ? heat/chemicals and electrostatic ...

This article describes Saudi Aramco's efforts in confirming the adaptability of hydrocyclone technologies in debottlenecking a gas-oil separation plant (GOSP). It also presents the comparative ...

Crude oil is a complex mixture of tens of thousands of organic hydrocarbon molecules, Separating them requires energy-intensive thermal distillation processes that consume about 1% of global energy.

In any offshore facility, it is important to monitor oil in produced water because any sheen around the platform can attract costly fines for surpassing the discharge permit limits for oil (Figure 1).

Saudi Aramco confirmed that inlet distributor design on an existing low-pressure degassing tank (LPDT) was the root cause of poor water separation at its gas-oil separation plant (GOSP). Despite the ...

MIT engineers have come up with a method of extracting clean water and reusable oil from oil spills using nanoparticles that turn the oil into magnetic ferrofluids. When oil spills occur, the polluted ...
