SINGLE-STAGE

REDUCTION OF WATER CONTENT

up to 0.5%

WATER SEPARATION FOR OIL TRANSPORTATION

WATER SEPARATION

TODAY

  • MULTI-STAGE PROCESS
    Complex 2-3+ stage solutions.
  • DEMULSIFIERS AND HEATING ARE REQUIRED
    Chemicals and heating to achieve required threshold of water content.
  • HIGH CAPEX AND OPEX COSTS
    Complex solutions equal to significant CAPEX and OPEX costs.

CHALLENGE

0.5% OF WATER IN A SINGLE STAGE

How to create a universal water separation process that's both faster and completely independent of oil-in-water emulsion temperature and demulsifiers – while achieving <0.5% water content in a single processing stage?

SOLUTION

APPLY SINGLE-STAGE PRT-BASED "C" SOLUTION

  • Consists of a C-activator
  • Affects only carbon

BREAKS DOWN STABLE OIL-IN-WATER EMULSIONS

WITHOUT HEATING AND DEMULSIFIERS


Additionally:
  • Reduces oil viscosity up to 80%
  • Reduces oil density up to 11%
  • Increases yield of light hydrocarbons up to 40%

10% of crude oil processed with PRT affects the rest 90% of crude oil
