Description
The problem of removing water which is emulsified with produced oil has grown more widespread and often times more difficult as producers
attempt to access more difficult reserves. This practical guide is designed to help engineers and operators develop a "feel" for selection,
sizing, and troubleshooting emulsion equipment. These skills are of vital importance to ensure low operating costs and to meet crude
export quality specifications. The book is written for engineers and operators, who need advanced knowledge of the numerous techniques
and the equipment used to destabilize and resolve petroleum emulsions problems. In Emulsions and Oil Treating Equipment: Selection, Sizing
and Troubleshooting the author provides engineers and operators with a guide to understanding emulsion theory, methods and equipment,
and practical design of a treating system. Comprehensive in its scope, the author explains methods such as: demulsifiers, temperature,
electrostatics and non-traditional methods of modulated or pulsed voltage control, as well as equipment such as: electrostatic treater
(dehydrator), separator, gunbarr heater-treater and free water knockout. Written in a "how to" format, it brings together hundreds of
methods, handy formulas, diagrams and tables in one convenient book.
