There are several kinds of vessels designed to separate oil and gas from water prior to discharge. This includes degassers, CFUs and Water Oil Separator (WOSEPs).
Operators are often facing a situation where equipment is no longer able to handle increased water cut or that the processing equipment is not meeting discharge requirements.
Improving efficiency, increasing throughput while meeting discharge requirements are critical to maximizing profitability.
Stauper has developed and has patented a concept for installation of its CFU internals into existing oil-water separation vessels.
The internals can be installed through existing manways, improving the vessel performance. The modication also includes installation of Stauper gas mixer outside of the vessel.
Following the modification, the vessel will operate according to the Stauper design philosophy.
New vessels can also be enhanced by including Stauper internals as part of the design.
