Investigation of Pipe Separation Technology in the Oilfield

Abstract:

Crude oil separating is an important technological process in the petroleum industry. Pipe separation technology (PST) is a new kind of separating method in oil-water-gas separation. To compare with conventional gravity separators, the new separator based on PST is low weight, low cost, efficient and convenient to maintain. This paper introduces this new compact separator, technological process and performance test. The test results show that the compact separator has good separating effect. When the water-cut inlet is from 50% to 60%, and the mixture flow rate is from 40 t/hr to 100 t/hr, the water-cut in oil outlet is less than 5%, and the oil-cut in water is less than 100 mg/l.
