Innovative design and study of an oil-water coupling separation …
Traditional oil-water separation hydrocyclone mainly uses different centrifugal force between oil and water to achieve rapid separation. However, with gradual expansion of oilfield polymer flooding, ASP (alkali-surfactant-polymer) flooding, and other oil displacement technologies, viscosity of produced fluid is increasing, and emulsification is …

Hammerstein–Wiener Model Identification for Oil-in-Water Separation
To reduce the environmental impact of offshore oil and gas, the hydrocarbon discharge regulations tend to become more stringent. One way to reduce the oil discharge is to improve the control systems by introducing new oil-in-water (OiW) sensing technologies and advanced control. De-oiling hydrocyclones are commonly used in …

Hydrocyclone Separators
Description. Evoqua's VAF [TM] brand Hydrocyclone Separators are effective in removing suspended particles from any flow stream of water where the specific gravity (density) of the particle (s) is heavier than the fluid it is in. The more significant the difference in gravity between the water and the particle, the greater the efficiency of ...

Development of a novel high-efficiency dynamic hydrocyclone for oil
A dynamic hydrocyclone (DH) is a high-efficiency separator, but the oil core dispersion phenomenon was observed when the split ratio was small in the experiment. The separated oil mixed with water again and the separation failed in that case. To overcome these deficiencies and improve the performance, a novel reverse-flow DH (RDH) was …

Mathematical modelling of a hydrocyclone for the down-hole oil–water
The separation of fluids in a hydrocyclone is not complete – some oil is carried along with the water fraction (<500 parts per million [ppm]; <200 ppm (Mattews, 1998); <100 ppm (Chrusch, 1996)), and a significant portion of water (typically 10% to 15%) is brought to the surface with the oil and gas fraction. Nevertheless, hydrocyclones can ...
