摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of adapting and manufacturing a separator system comprising multiple inclined separators for separation of respective substances or substances mixed in fluids from oil wells. The method also relates to adapting the separator system to a change in the substance or use with another oil well. The method involves a) determining percentage fraction of respective fluid phases in an oil from a specific oil well and at a specific time, b) estimating expected production rate from the specific oil well at a specific time, c) using the results from step a) and step b) to estimate streaming capacity of each respective fluid phase through separators of the separator system, d) using the respective estimates from step c) to adapt multiple separators comprising connecting an estimated number of separators in a serial manner to accommodate enough separator efficiency in the separator system, thereby enabling a separation of a fluid phase to a target purity of the fluid phase, e) using the results in c) and d) to i) arrange at least one first interconnecting framework of pipes providing communication of fluids from a common inlet of fluids into open one or more ends of the inner tubular sections respective parallel and serial interconnected separators of the separator system, ii) arrange at least one second interconnecting framework of pipes providing communication to respective outlets for each respective fluid phase outputs of the separator system.

The present disclosure is related to a method and system for subsea purification of produced water in a subsea installation comprising a tank assembly for separating gas, oil, sand and other minerals and water by means of gravitational forces and retention time, as well as releasing purified water and storing of sand and other mineral particles for a long period, including many years.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a tubular oil separator providing separation of respective fluid components mixed in fluids from oil wells, wherein the tubular oil separator is arranged to mitigate problems related to turbulence and possible non-Newtonian fluid behaviors of fluid components mixed in the fluids from the oil wells in the oil separator. The invention further relates to a method of operating a separator. Moreover the invention relates to a system of multiple separators. Inventive aspects of the separator comprises an elongated outer, closed tubular section and an elongated, inner tubular section, which is closed in one end and open in another end, - where the inner tubular section is arranged inside the outer tubular section, - and where oil well substances are introduced into the open end of the inner tubular section via a tube feed section passing through the outer tubular section and into the inner tubular section, - and where the inner tubular section comprises multiple, elongated and parallel slots arranged in a longitudinal direction of the inner tubular section in a circumferential manner, - where the inclination of the separator facilitates separation of the oil well substances into lower density substances and higher density substances, - where the lower density substances by buoyancy drift upward through the slots and exit via an upper outlet in the outer tubular section and higher density substances sink downward through the slots and by gravitation exit via a lower outlet in the outer tubular section.
