Heater–treater

A vessel that heats an emulsion and removes water and gas from oil to raise it to a quality acceptable for a pipeline or other means of transport. A heater–treater is a combination of a heater, free-water knockout device, and oil and gas separator.

Rohölaufbereitung

Bei der Erdölaufbereitung wird das zunächst anfallende Gemisch aus Erdöl, Begleitgas und Lagerstättenwasser getrennt. Die Abtrennung des Erdgases erfolgt im Gasabscheider durch Verwirbelung des Gemisches bei leicht erhöhtem Druck. Hierbei entweicht das Gas. Das Öl-Salzwassergemisch trennt sich im Nassöltank aufgrund der verschiedenen Dichten teilweise auf. Das unter dem Öl schwimmende Wasser wird abgepumpt und in einem weiteren Arbeitsverfahren von restlichem Öl getrennt. Ein Teil des Erdöls bildet mit dem Wasser eine Emulsion. Diese Emulsion wird erhitzt und einem Wechselspannungsfeld ausgesetzt. Dabei geraten die kleinen Wassertröpfchen in heftige Bewegungen, so dass sie sich zu größeren Tröpfchen vereinigen. Sie setzen sich am Boden ab und können erneut mit einer Dichtetrennung abgetrennt werden.
