A produced water deoiling train is built from complementary stages, each tuned to a droplet-size band. Selection is driven by the inlet distribution, the outlet target and the available footprint and motion environment.
Deoiling, softening and polishing of produced water for discharge, reuse or reinjection.
Flotation for removal of dispersed oil and fine solids from oilfield water.
Primary gravity and plate separation of free oil and solids ahead of polishing.
Gravity and corrugated-plate separators remove free oil and coarse solids as a robust first stage.
Retention vessels provide residence time for primary separation and surge buffering.
Compact, motion-tolerant deoiling hydrocyclones use centrifugal force to remove dispersed oil, well suited to offshore platforms.
IGF disperses fine gas bubbles that attach to oil droplets, floating them for skimming.
DGF/DAF produces micro-bubbles by pressure release for higher-efficiency removal of fine droplets.
Coagulant and flocculant addition destabilises emulsions to sharpen flotation performance.
Walnut-shell and media filters capture residual dispersed oil and solids to low outlet concentrations.
Specialised adsorbents target dissolved and residual hydrocarbons where discharge limits are tight.
Ceramic or polymeric membranes provide a final barrier for demanding reuse specifications.
