Oil & Gas3-phase-separation in a crude performance improved→Crude oil is a mixture of gas, water, oil, emulsion and several other impurities. To become a marketable product, the crude has to be processed with various…Limescale · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasBiofouling at Refineries→The refinery in Dubai, UAE is a rather small refinery. This refinery is not operating constantly, but is used only batch-wise. Due to this mode of operation,…Limescale · Corrosion · Biofouling
Oil & GasCorrosion rate in oil plant due to SRB reduced by 10 times.→In this gathering station oil and water is separated. The process is supported by heat which is introduced in the system. The major problem in this system is…Corrosion · Biofouling · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasEffluent Water Treatment→In the separation process of crude oil, „produced water“ is extracted. As the goal mostly is to dewater the oil, the water itself is not clean and contains a…Limescale · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasFlow lines and trunk lines in the oil and gas industry→Trunk and flow lines are pipes connecting the wells with the treatment plants. Flow lines are the connection from the well itself, to either a treatment plant…Limescale · Corrosion · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasHeattransfer hydrocarbon improved→During refining oil in a refinery the oil has to be heated to rather high temperatures. For this the crude passes a row of heat exchangers. These heat…Limescale · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasLimescale in Wells, Pipes and Machines→Incrustations which sediment from the liquid in the pipe and machine are often limescale. In terms of water treatment, we are specialists for solving this…Limescale · Corrosion · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasOil and Gas Wells→Hydro Carbon Wells produce a mixture of oil, gas and water. The ratio in between varys a lot. Some produce mainly oil, some mainly gas with so-called…Limescale · Corrosion · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasPigging frequency and PPD usage reduced→Merus has offshore equipped a 52 km long pipeline. This trunkline is a 12″ pipe (DN300) connecting a sending offshore platform with a separation plant. The…Limescale · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasProduced water - fighting corrosion in injection line→An oil or gas well produces not only hydro carbons, but in most cases also water. This contained water, is called produced water. Such water is used in most…Corrosion
Oil & GasRefineries→After the crude oil has passed the separation process it is led into a refinery. Here it is split into high-value products such as fuel, kerosene, naphtha,…Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasSeawater as Offshore Water Supply→Not all offshore platforms are manned. But depending on the tasks to do personal can be needed on these platforms or a FPSO (Floating Production Storage and…Limescale · Corrosion · Biofouling
Oil & GasSeparation Process of Oil, Gas and Water→The crude oil from the well is usually a mixture of oil, gas and water. To process the oil and its ingredients, these three components are separated in a first…HydrocarbonsOil & GasSeparation Profile at Continuous Dehydration Units→The crude which is processed in this COT is coming from offshore and from onshore. In the CDUs (Continuous Dehydration Unit) the crude is settled for 4 hours.…Limescale · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasViscosity of Crude Oil→Viscosity is the term used to describe how difficult it is for a fluid to flow. The viscosity is measured in centipoise or abbreviated cP. cP goes back the…Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasWax and emulsion forming in the well reduced→The St. Josephs Field has more than 35 wells, whereas most of them are supported by gas lifts. The gas is introduced to the well at a depth of app. 2600ft. See…Limescale · Hydrocarbons
Oil & GasWax, sludge and sand reduced in trunkline→In this trunkline all the crude from the offshore wells of one field are transported to the separation plant onshore. Pigging is done every week or two. The…Limescale · Hydrocarbons
