Water Systems and Equipment
In production operations, it is often necessary to handle wastewater. The water must be separated from the oil and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. This presentation describes the equipment used to separate, treat, collect, and dispose of wastewater, along with procedures for designing a water treating system consisting of skimmer tanks and vessels, plate coalescers, flotation units, and/or disposal piles. Information about equipment selection and sizing for removing suspended solids and dissolved gases from water is also provided.
