“…In offshore installations because of space constraints, compact systems with small and light characteristics are favorable. Seureau et al [52] designed a three-phase cyclonic separator to remove solids and oil from offshore-produced water. The system combines the functional characteristics of both desanding and de-oiling hydrocyclones.…”

Abstract. Oil and gas exploration and production are two of the activities that potentially cause pollution and environmental damage. The largest waste generated from this activity is produced water. Produced water contains hazardous pollutants of both organic and inorganic materials, so that the produced water of oil and gas production cannot be discharged directly to the environment. Uncontrolled discharge can lead to the environmental damage, killing the life of water and plants. The produced water needs to be handled and fulfill the quality standards before being discharged to the environment. Several studies to reduce the contaminants in the produced water were conducted by researchers. Among them were gravity based separation -flotation, separation technique based on filtration, and biological process treatment. Therefore, some of these methods can be used as an alternative waste handling of produced water.

<p>Wastewater generated in oil production and refinery industries contains high levels of pollutions. Water from the oil production field is the largest source of wastewater in the oil production and refinery industry. It can cause environmental problems on a global scale due to its high volume and pollutant properties. The treatment of produced water and refinery wastewater is traditionally carried out by physical, chemical, and biological treatment processes. In recent years, it has been focused on the use of membrane technologies. In the treatment of oil production wastewater, membrane bioreactors are used as pre-treatment and / or direct treatment methods. In this study, the treatability of wastewater generated in the oil production field by membrane bioreactor was investigated. The system has been operated for 70 days and its efficiency has been evaluated. Treatment parameters such as chemical oxygen demand, total solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, Alkalinity, and conductivity were analyzed. In addition, flux and transmembrane pressures were measured. Result, chemical oxygen demand, total solids, total volatile solids, suspended solids, total phosphorus, total nitrogen and sulfate, average removal efficiencies 65%, 65%, 58%, 73%, 70%, 50%, and 57% was obtained, respectively. It has been determined that the system used can be used in petroleum production wastewater treatment.</p>

“…On the other hand, the flow rate of produced water after the primary processing also requires adequate treatment so that it can be properly disposed and/or reinjected into the wells (Dantas et al, 2012;Seureau et al, 1994). Since several oil wells, especially the older ones, are becoming less economical due to high production costs and reduced recovery, the study of variables influencing the oil-water separation process, points to the best operating conditions, and aims at increasing efficiency.…”

This work aims to use factorial designs to evaluate changes in the operating conditions of a three-phase separator. It performs experiments using a Hysys simulation software. It evaluates the influences of temperature, working pressure, and type of separator for light and heavy oils. To find the best operating conditions theoretically, higher oil flow rate (outlet stream) and smaller amount of water in the oil stream are used as reference goals. After performing simulations, the data is analyzed, and one can observe that the effect type of separator does not have a statistically significant influence in the results. The best operating condition occurs with the temperature at 30 o C and the pressure at 9 bar, lowest and highest levels suited, respectively.
