    This document provides guidance on water treatment processes, including: 1) It recommends using a degassing vessel after hydrocyclones to allow dissolved gases and residual oil particles to separate from water before discharge. 2) It provides nominal residence times for degassing vessels based on the density difference between oil and water. 3) It includes a table selecting vessel size based on diameter, height, liquid volume, and equivalent hydrocyclone capacity. 4) It describes internals for degassing vessels, including using a cascade flow arrangement and inlet devices to minimize surface disturbance and allow gas to escape while liquid moves below the surface.

    Water Treatment

    Document Description:
    Process Design Procedure

    Degassing Vessel and Reject Oil Handling


    We recommends the use of a Degassing Vessel after the hydrocyclones in all but the easiest
    separation applications. These vessels act as oil skimmers, allowing the dissolved gases to evolve from
    the water as tiny bubbles that lift the residual oil particles to the surface, where they can be skimmed off
    via an overflow weir. If this is not done and the water is discharged into the sea directly, an oil sheen
    may appear even though the water is below the design ppm contamination target.

    Use the nominal RT (Residence Time) for the Degasser (vertical or horizontal) operating at 60% NLL
    fitted with a LCV to overboard discharge or pump. The vessel should have a built-in oil overflow skimmer
    bucket.

    Delta SG > 0.2 1 minute RT


    Delta SG 0.2 - 0.1 1 - 3 minutes RT
    Delta SG < 0.1 > 3 minutes RT (Check with Engineering Director)

    Where the oily reject from the hydrocyclones is also flowing to this oil skimmer bucket, larger flow
    capacity is required, so a horizontal Degasser Vessel should be used with say 10 min nominal RT
    Reject Oil holdup and fitted with HI/LO level switches set at 10% and 50% levels operating a recycle
    pump.

    Select vessel size from the following table:

    Diameter ID Height Seam/Seam Nominal Liquid Vol Degasser Equivalent


    at 60% BBL Hydrocyclone Capacity
    BPD
    at 1 minute RT
    12" 4' 0.33 ---
    18" 6' 1.13 1,600
    24" 8' 2.7 4,000
    30" 10' 5.25 7,500
    36" 12' 9.1 13,000
    42" 14' 14.4 20,000
    48" 16' 21.5 30,000
    60" 16' 33.6 50,000
    72" 16' 48.3 70,000
    84" 16' 65.8 95,000

    These figures are for guidance only and calculations should be performed for each application.

    Flow should ideally be arranged in a cascade style, to ensure the path to the water outlet is as long as
    possible from the oily water entry point.

    Inlet devices should tru to cause minimum surface disturbance, taking the liquid below the surface and
    allowing gas to escape above. This means a simple inlet dip pipe arrangement can be used (or a
    cyclone), followed by a distributor.

    Mist eliminators are not generally required due to the low gas load.

    Oil skimming is done via a fixed weir. This may be fitted with a central adjustable section for added
    flexibility. Oil quality is not important from these vessels, but water quality should meet the necessary
    guarantees.
