Separation/treating
In this final installment of the Savvy Separator Series (No. 23), the authors present a curated collection of recommended references, articles, and other key resources—a comprehensive guide worth reading, bookmarking, and keeping in your library.
With the right internal modifications, traditional degassers can be enhanced with gas flotation for improved oily water separation. This article outlines key design considerations—including inlet and settling zones, skimming, and solids handling. Two case studies highlight lessons learned in troubleshooting and revamping degasser designs.
This article is the second of a two-part series on produced-water management in the Gulf of Mexico and covers four themes: equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.

"Gas Scrubber Design and Validation for Robust Separation Duty" is the title of a special session planned by the Separations Technology Technical Section. -
Some internals components affect a separator's gas- and liquid-handling capability because of their effects on the liquid level. In this article, the interdependency of cyclonic inlets, cyclonic mist eliminators, and liquid level is highlighted.
