Liquid–liquid systems play an important role in several industrial processes. Their
separation efficiency determines the product purity and yield to a great extent. In recent …

Slop oil, a complex mixture of oil, water and fine solids, is extensively produced during
exploration, production, and refining processes in oil and gas industry, which is undesired …

As the treated water from offshore oil and gas production is discharged to the surrounding
sea, there is an incentive to improve the performance of the offshore produced water …

De-oiling hydrocyclones are a promising choice for produced water treatment in the oil and
gas industry. The compact nature of hydrocylones makes them suitable for offshore and …

The offshore de-oiling process is a vital part of current oil recovery, as it separates the
profitable oil from water and ensures that the discharged water contains as little of the …

Based on the theory of oil-water centrifugal separation, a novel oil-water helix separator for
generating helix separation flow field by helical guide vanes is designed. The test prototypes …

In subsea oil and gas production and processing, automatic control of operation is of
significant importance. Typically, processing in subsea fields involves separation of …

Deoiling hydrocyclones are compact, passive devices commonly used for produced-water
treatment (PWT) for oil production. The oily water enters the tangential inlet of the …

Offshore de-oiling installations are facing an increasing challenge with regards to removing
oil residuals from produced water prior to discharge into the ocean. The de-oiling of …

In this work, we develop a model for a gravity separator, and we use it together with models
from the literature to study the control of a subsea separation system that separates oil, gas …
