A single multi-stage counter-current vessel separates bitumen from water and solids using a solvent gradient.
A separation vessel uses a water distribution system to wash emulsions at the oil/water interface.
Replacing gravity-based three-phase separation with electrostatic technology reduces FPSO footprint by 37% and dry weight by 50%.
A gravity dewatering chamber uses positive pressure drying gas to remove water from industrial fluids.
Retaining projection engages support tube recess to prevent damage during installation.
