Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a filter for the removal of water from oil, the filter comprising a distillation element having an inlet pipe that in one end is to be fluidly connectable to a reservoir of oil to be filtered, and in the other end being fluidly connected to a distillation head, said distillation head comprising a plurality of compressing tubes for injecting under pressure said oil into an evaporation chamber, whereby eventual water within the oil droplet evaporates from said decompressed oil, the filter further comprising a tubular core with a plurality of apertures and a hollow interior, said core having an open end for fluid communication with the hollow interior, a length of yarn wound around an outer surface of the core, wherein the filter further comprises means for blowing air or an inert gas into the evaporation chamber for removal of the water vapor during use of the filter. The present invention also pertains to a method of manufacturing such a filter, as well as a method of removing water oil. The water removal unit is part of a modular system, which makes the whole filter unit scalable within fixed steps. When water removing block (105) with attached start block (89) and end block (72), are stacked upon each other, and connected to filter unit (27), it becomes scalable complete cleaning equipment. Pump and motor must be adapted to each configuration.

Abstract:
A method of fluid treatment of a feed comprising oil and water, the method comprising: supplying the feed into a flotation cell, the feed having an oil concentration, the flotation cell containing a working fluid and the working fluid having a surface; removing an oil phase from the surface of the working fluid; removing fluid from the flotation cell through one or more outlets below a working fluid level in the flotation cell; and controlling flow through the one or more outlets to maintain the working fluid level in the flotation cell within a predetermined range independent of variations in the oil concentration of the feed, A related apparatus is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Several prototype systems are described for separating oil and water from emulsions. The systems operate at ultrasonic resonance and are thus low power. Each system contains one or more acoustic transducers operating in the 100 kHz to 5 MHz range. Each system contains flow input for the emulsion and two or more flow outputs for the separated oil and water. Existing prototypes operate from 200 mL/min to >15 L/min. Each uses low power in the range of 1-5 W.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for extracting oils and fats from oil-bearing substances without using degrading temperatures. The apparatus may comprise an extraction chamber containing an oil-bearing substance, an oil-collecting chamber, a recovery pump, a first jacket adjacent at least a portion of the extraction chamber, and a second jacket adjacent at least a portion of the oil-collecting chamber. The method involves heating a solvent and reducing pressure to facilitate a low-temperature vacuum boil, delivering the heated solvent into the extraction chamber configured to facilitate the low-temperature vacuum boil of the solvent within the extraction chamber, pumping the solvent in vapor form out of the extraction chamber with the recovery pump, delivering the oil and fat extracted in the extraction chamber to the oil-collecting chamber, pumping solvent in vapor form out of the oil-collecting chamber with the recovery pump, and delivering the solvent received by the recovery pump to the first and second jackets to provide heat to the chambers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for separating an aqueous phase from an oil phase of an oil-water mixture (6), which has a pressurized dewatering system (14) having multiphase separation profiles (15). According to the invention, it is essential that the pressurized dewatering system (14) operates in a plurality of stages. In addition, the invention relates to an apparatus (8) for carrying out the process of the invention.
Abstract:
According to the inventive method for demulsifying an oil-containing aqueous emulsion, said oil-containing aqueous emulsion is subjected to an increased pressure and an increased temperature for a certain length of time. Carbon dioxide is added, and the emulsion is then released. The demulsification takes place in an autoclave, an upwards travelling gas bubble stream of carbon dioxide being produced by an abrupt release of pressure. An oil-rich phase is separated off by said gas bubble stream and the remaining preclarified oil-stripped emulsion is then separated in a separator. The resulting aqueous fraction is separated into a retentate and water by means of ultrafiltration. A device for carrying out the inventive method has an autoclave, a separator and an ultrafiltration device. A device for feeding in fine bubbles of carbon dioxide is located in the base area of the autoclave.
