Purpose

Maintain gas-liquid separation and oil-water interface control as feed conditions change.

Arrangement and integration

Equipment functional diagram

The diagram identifies the principal process duties, equipment connections and product handover points. Final scope, redundancy and battery limits are established from project data.
