Water settling tanks OW
Description
Water settling tanks OW are oilfield equipment that is used to purify oilfield water from oil, gas and mechanical impurities. Purified water may later be used for technological needs.
Design and internal arrangement of water settling tanks
This type of equipment is manufactured in a horizontal design and is an all-welded cylindrical container with elliptical heads on supports. The Saratov Reservoir Plant produces water settling tanks with a volume of up to 200 m3.
The inner surface is treated with anticorrosive coatings that allows the tanks to operate for up to 20 years.
At the facility, settling tanks are mounted on a reinforced concrete foundation at grade. The period of installation work is reduced due to the full factory readiness of the supplied settling tanks: all the technological equipment is pre-installed.
Water settling tanks are equipped with a level gauge, temperature sensor, thermometer, pressure gauge, pressure sensor, safety valve, upper level alarm. There are fittings around the shell through which the oilfield water is supplied, captured oil is collected, gas is diverted and already treated water is discharged. The settled sludge is removed through the stripping hole. Fittings for steaming and ventilation are also provided. The access inside the tank is provided through a manhole.
The vessel is always filled with water. Initial liquid supply may be carried out both from above and from below. The principle of operation of water settling tanks is based on the action of gravitational forces. Due to the different density of the oil and gas particles remain on the surface, the purified water is collected under a hydrophobic layer formed by the interface line of the media. Mechanical impurities settle in the lower part of the tank.
