    Water Handling and Treatment

    This document discusses the handling and treatment of produced water from oil production. Produced water contains crude oil, rain water, and washdown water. Offshore, hydrocarbons can be discharged if they are below 15-50 mg/l, while onshore water cannot be disposed of on the surface due to salt contamination risks. Over time, water is produced along with oil and must be treated to remove the oil before being disposed of at sea. The oil remains in the water as emulsions or droplets. Treatment equipment uses processes like gravity separation, heating, chemicals, and electrostatics to separate the oil from the water. Specific equipment discussed includes corrugated plate interceptors, dissolved gas floatation units, hydrocycl

    Produced Water Handling and

    Treatment
    PAB 3073
    Learning Outcome
    Explain basic concept of water
    treatment operation
    Introduction
    Necessary to handle waste water
    that include
    Crude oil
    Rain water
    Washdown water
    Offshore :HC that can be discharge
    15mg/l to 50mg/l
    Onshore : water cannot be disposed
    on surface ~ possible salt
    contamination

    Water Handling and Distribution
    Over time, water may be produced
    along with oil
    This produced water has no
    commercial value therefore treat to
    remove oil and dispose to sea
    Oil remains in water in 2 forms:
    Emulsion
    Oil droplets in water
    Emulsion between oil and water
    Main phase is water
    Inject emulsion breaking chemicals
    upstream water treatment tank
    Oil droplets in water
    Oil droplets float freely in water
    Settle out given enough time or use
    equipment/methods to assist removal
    of oil droplets water treatment tank
    Water Handling and Distribution
    Oil floats to top of water treatment
    tank and skimmed off into the drain
    system
    Water then disposed to sea through
    Closed Drain Caisson
    Water sampling Effluent Discharge
    Quality must be < 100ppm

    Water Handling and Distribution
    Produced water treatment equipment
    Initial separation of oil and water
    Gravity separators
    Primary separation can be enhanced
    via
    Heating of crude oil separate water via
    reduced viscosity
    Demulsification chemicals break
    emulsions and let water droplets to settle
    Electrostatic separation reduce water
    content of dense, dry crude oil
    Types of water treatment
    equipment
    Corrugated Plate Interceptor (CPI)
    Dissolved Gas Floatation Unit
    (DGF)/Dispersed Gas Floatation
    Hydrocyclones

    Produced water treatment equipment
    Corrugated Plate Interceptor
    Plate interceptors reduced distance
    required for oil droplet to migrate before
    it comes into contact with other oil
    droplets and coalesces
    Interceptor packs consists of a series of
    closely spaced, parallel plates mounted at
    angle 45 degree
    Plates have corrugated profile allows
    large oil droplets to move upwards and
    collect at the high point
    CPI works off because of short separation
    distance between the plates
    Oil moves upwards through the water
    phase as the size increases
    Oil layer formed then skimmed off by oil
    outlet weir
    Configuration of water inlet and outlet
    arranged to minimise turbulence that
    causes re-mixing of small oil droplets
    Remove up to 60micron
    Dissolved/Dispersed Gas Floatation
    Uses gas floatation to accelerate
    separation of oil from water
    Via buoyancy effect caused by rising
    gas bubbles attached to oil droplets
    Oil carried to surface coalesce and
    separate using oil weir

    Gas injected in 2 manners
    Inject into water and dispersed by
    rapidly rotating impeller
    Dissolved in water under high pressure
    Travels via pressure vessel and limited
    residence time causes gas to dissolve
    Then reduce pressure rapidly, gas comes
    out in form of bubbles



    Hydrocyclone
    Use centrifugal force to increase
    effect of gravity
    Oil-water feed flows tangentially
    into the upper, swirl section
    Swirls around in circular path, then
    accelerate as flows enters taper
    section (reduced diamater)
    Lighter oil moves up, heavier water
    exits out
