Oil-water-gas three-phase separation tank
Thread Content
Why is it necessary to supply hot water through pipelines to heat the aqueous phase of the oil-water-gas three-phase separation vessels in many tower tops (fractionation towers, stabilization towers)?
Was it a question about preventing freezing in winter? Well, by introducing hot water for heating, it’s possible to separate the components in the water, thereby reducing the amount of oil present in the acidic water !
Prevent freezing in winter to avoid water cut failure, which can cause water to be present in the oil.
Hot water pipelines are used to prevent freezing and condensation, serving as a means of heat retention. Steam is not used because its high temperature can easily heat the water in the container to boiling point, making it impossible to see the oil-water interface clearly.
1. In the north, it is to prevent freezing. . . Prevent the water level sensor from failing due to freezing. . . How can there be three-phase separation when the phase boundary is malfunctioning? . . 2. An aqueous three-phase separator in the southern region (south of the Yangtze River) may not require a heating or hot water system. . . :lol
It is mainly used to prevent freezing, avoiding malfunctions in water separation and thus preventing water from entering the oil product. Our device is installed in the south, and it doesn’t have such a design.
We use an external heating coil along with insulation to prevent freezing and condensation; you’ll see its effectiveness in winter! !
