The Savvy Separator series continues as we share case studies of troubleshooting separator problems. This article focuses on instrumentation and operating issues. Brief problem statements, root causes, and lessons learned are given.
The retrofit merged enhanced gravity separation with induced gas flotation within the same vessel. Detailed insights into the design, operation, and performance of hybrid flotation systems are provided, offering valuable guidance for similar initiatives in the petroleum industry.
