Separation module (optional)

Back to diagram

How it works

The Separation module optimises the recovery of hydrocarbons to close to 100% by means of Liquid/Solid and Liquid/Liquid separation. Two versions of this module are available.

Solid/Liquid
The Solid/Liquid separation version contains a special decanter used for the separation of solids from the liquid phase. The high quality of the recovered liquid enables the oil to be pumped directly to the customer pipeline for reprocessing. The solids from the decanter can be disposed of safely.

Liquid/Liquid
The unit contains all of the equipment described in the Solid/Liquid separation section above, plus a high-speed centrifuge for an optimum separation result.

The Liquid/Liquid separation leaves the recovered oil free of contaminated particles and free of water. The recovered oil is returned to the customer for reuse. The water fraction is delivered to water treatment facilities.
