OIL TREATMENT PACKAGES
A process diagram for the oil treatment package is developed, and equipment is selected and manufactured depending on physical and chemical properties of a gas-liquid mixture coming to the package, as well as requirements for treatment quality, necessary capacity of the package, operating conditions and individual requirements of the Client.
ADVANTAGES OF AN OIL TREATMENT PACKAGE CONCEPT:
- It makes it possible to save a significant amount of production and time resources in the manufacture and construction of new oil treatment packages (the scope of construction works is reduced by half);
- equipment, including process piping and interconnecting utilities, is produced in factory conditions;
- continuous inlet control of incoming materials and equipment, as well as all required tests make it possible to enhance the quality of the supplied equipment;
- piping and cables at the battery limits of process units and interconnecting pipe racks are packed in a tight and compact way, so equipment of the unit is arranged in a more ergonomic way.
TYPICAL CONTENTS OF AN OIL TREATMENT PACKAGE:
A comprehensive supply of an oil treatment package includes all process and auxiliary modules of the unit required for its soonest start-up and successful operation during the whole life cycle. The oil treatment unit can be arranged in such a way so that it is possible to enlarge the set of equipment to enhance its capacity.
