Embodiment Construction

[0066] figure 1 Shown is a continuous through-flow settling vessel 1 made of a closed cylindrical wall 2 with an inlet 3 for the mixture, a gas outlet 5 , a water outlet 7 and an oil outlet 8 . These outlets are all provided with controllable valves (not shown). The direction of the mixture in the container is from left to right. A weir 10 is placed within the vessel with the top of the weir 10 below a high liquid level 14 which is the upper threshold of the liquid in the vessel. Upstream of the weir 10 there is a volume of separated liquid consisting of an oil phase 16 and an aqueous phase 20 . Interface 18 marks the water level upstream of the weir. The surface 12 marks the liquid level in the container, which is the same at the upstream side and at the downstream side of the weir 10 . figure 1 The vessel is shown during normal operation, where control means (not shown) coordinate the exit flow through the outlets 5, 7, 8 by means of corresponding valves in order to achi...

Abstract

A continuous through-flow settling vessel for adaptive separation of a mixture from gas and / or oil exploration or production, said mixture comprising a varying mixture of liquid and gaseous phases, wherein the vessel is provided with: an inlet for a mixture, and a gas outlet, a water outlet and an oil outlet, the outlets being provided distant from the inlet, and the oil outlet being downstream of the water outlet, a weir downstream of the water outlet and upstream of the oil outlet, which weir functions as a barrier to a free through-flow in the vessel of the liquid phase which comprises a water phase and an oil phase, which phases are separated from each other by settling, the weir having a height lower than the gas outlet, and wherein the vessel is additionally provided with:—an oil draining means capable of controllably draining oil phase from the vessel upstream of the weir, said means being provided at a level below the weir height and above the water phase that is present during operation of the vessel. Method of adaptive separation of a mixture from gas and / or oil exploration or production, said mixture comprising a varying mixture of liquid and gaseous phases, wherein the mixture is introduced into a continuous through-flow settling vessel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a continuous through-flow settling vessel for the adaptive separation of mixtures from natural gas and / or oil exploration or production, said mixture comprising different mixtures of liquid and gaseous phases, wherein said vessel is provided with: [0002] an inlet for the mixture, and a gas outlet, a water outlet and an oil outlet, said outlet being located remote from said inlet, and said oil outlet being downstream of said water outlet, [0003] a weir downstream of the water outlet and upstream of the oil outlet, the weir acting as a barrier to the liquid phases comprising a water phase and an oil phase, these phases being separated from each other by settling, the weir having a temperature lower than the gas The height of the outlet, wherein the water outlet is located upstream of the weir and the oil outlet is located downstream of the weir. [0004] The invention also relates to a method for the adaptive separatio...
