10 results about "Desalter" patented technology

A desalter is a process unit in an oil refinery that removes salt from the crude oil. The salt is dissolved in the water in the crude oil, not in the crude oil itself. The desalting is usually the first process in crude oil refining.

Recycling of waste energy and desalter effluent water for industrial reuse

Systems and methods for crude oil desalting technology are provided. More specifically, systems and methods for the usage of waste heat from compression to treat high salinity water are provided. The systems and methods generate recycled water streams for desalter treatment. The systems and methods can treat high salinity waters from desalters and dehydrators. The high salinity streams are introduced to the compressed gas streams, where the waste heat causes the water portion of the water streams to evaporate, resulting in a fully or near-saturated gas stream and a concentrated waste water stream. The saturated gas streams are cooled and condensed, and low TDS water is separated from the gas stream in knockout drums. The low TDS water can be reintroduced to the desalting system as wash water, generating a circular water reuse.

Desalination of high salinity produced water using a ultra high pressure reverse osmosis membrane

The technology relates to the use of a high salinity produced water stream from a gas oil separation plant (GOSP), as a wash water stream for the desalter unit in a GOSP. The produced water stream is pretreated by a sequence of steps and subsequently desalinated by a ultra-high pressure reverse osmosis (UHP-RO) membrane. The UHP-RO produces a permeate stream and a reject stream. A portion of the permeate stream is reused as a wash water stream in the desalter unit of the GOSP.

Method of calculating and automating wash water rates for crude desalting

A method for automating wash water rates into a desalter comprises the steps of collecting historical dry crude rates; collecting historical wash water rates; collecting historical salt content amounts, where the historical dry crude rates, historical wash water rates, and historical salt content amounts are from a historical time period; determining a percent wash water from the historical wash water rates and historical dry crude rates; developing a salt content versus percent wash water curve using the historical salt content amounts and percent wash water; developing a salt content predictive equation from the salt content versus percent wash water curve; programming the salt content predictive equation and the percent wash water equation into a distributed control system; and regulating a current wash water rate based on an expected salt content determined from the salt content predictive equation.

Water circularity in a gas oil separation plant by effective treatment of produced water

This technology relates to the treatment of a produced water stream to promote water circularity in a gas oil separation plant (GOSP). A wash water unit supplies a wash water stream to a desalter to desalt the crude oil in a GOSP. The desalter effluent stream is pretreated to produce a pretreated desalter effluent stream. Simultaneously, an untreated produced water stream is processed in a water oil separator (WOSEP) of a GOSP. The WOSEP produces a produced water stream and a recovered oil stream after separation. A portion of the produced water stream is pretreated and mixed with the pretreated desalter effluent stream resulting in a mixed stream. The mixed stream is desalinated to produce a permeate stream and a reject stream. The permeate stream is reused as a wash water stream in the desalter. The reject stream is recycled to either the WOSEP inlet or WOSEP outlet.

Pretreatment of high salinity produced water for membrane based desalination

The technology relates to the pretreatment process of a high salinity produced water stream in a gas oil separation plant (GOSP). The produced water stream includes a salinity of up to 150,000 ppm of total dissolved solids (TDS). The treated produced water stream is processed by a desalination unit integrated in the GOSP, to produce a permeate stream with less than 5000 ppm of TDS and a reject stream. The permeate stream is reused as a wash water stream in the desalter unit of the GOSP, to desalt the crude oil or use it for other beneficial reuse purposes.

Bushing seal for crude oil desalters

A method and assembly for improving and maintaining a seal between an insulating rod and a flange in a desalter entrance bushing assembly. The assembly includes an insulating rod with a shoulder for a biasing component, a hub nut with a spring seat for a biasing component, a biasing component, and a flange to which the insulating rod can create a fluid tight seal. The shoulder and spring seat can form approximately 90-degree platforms on which the biasing component can apply force when the hub nut is appropriately secured to the flange. The method includes threading the hub nut containing the biasing component into the flange. The nut is secured to a predetermined torque and the biasing component ensures that the seal is maintained during temperature and pressure fluctuations.
