EngineeringOil & gas technologyEquipment
ISKControlled packages for mixing crude oil with wash water and chemicals upstream of an electrostatic dehydrator.
Purpose
Arrangement and integration
The diagram identifies the principal process duties, equipment connections and product handover points. Final scope, redundancy and battery limits are established from project data.
The package creates the specified dispersion of wash water and chemical in crude upstream of the electrostatic dehydrator. The control philosophy is based on crude properties.
Engineering basis
Final ratings, materials and supply scope are established from project-specific operating data.
| Process temperature | up to +70 °C* |
|---|---|
| Nominal pipe size | DN 25–400* |
| Oil throughput | 0.7–630 t/h* |
| Wash-water rate | 5–30% of oil throughput* |
| Design life | 20 years* |
