peer agreement (net): +1Gun-barrel tank/wash tank Explanation: 1. n. [Production Facilities] A settling tank used for treating oil. Oil and brine are separated only by gravity segregation forces. The clean oil floats to the top and brine is removed from the bottom of the tank. Gun barrels are found predominantly in older or marginal fields. A gun barrel is also called a wash tank. http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Terms/g/gun_barrel.aspx 11. Escuela de Petróleo – Módulo O.T.A. (Obtención y Tratamiento de Agua) acuosa, así como la formación y el descenso de las gotas de agua desde la fase de petróleo. Para garantizar la temperatura adecuada, la corriente proveniente del pozo debe calentarse hasta 50° como mínimo. C • Tracing & Aislamiento de líneas y equipos: Se considera recomendable la aislación y tracing en el separador, como caso ideal. Para lograr una operación estable del separador, es recomendable que la línea que va del calentador hacia el separador se encuentre aislada y traceada.3) TANQUES CORTADORES (GUN BARREL)Un Tanque Cortador o "gun barrel" es un tanque tratador con flujo ascendente o descendente centralvertical que opera a presión atmosférica. https://es.slideshare.net/facundoniziewiz/captulo-2-instalac... I found gun-barrel tank and the reference above confirms I was right. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2018-06-04 13:41:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Page 8 El petróleo y su emulsión (junto al agua libre - no emulsionada) pasa a una etapa de separación de agua libre, para ello se emplea un separador bifásico (FWKO) donde el fluido llega con poco gas asociado o un tanque cortador (para cortar el agua libre). .............. EL TANQUE CORTADOR (GUN BARREL) Un "gun barrel" es un tanque tratador con flujo descendente central vertical que opera a presión atmosférica. Un GB típico tiene una cámara superior desgasificadora o bota en el tope. La emulsión a tratar desciende por el centro hasta un dispersor (spreader) donde ingresa al nivel de agua buscando su camino de ascenso por flotación (diferencia de densidad) hasta el nivel superior de petróleo. http://www.oilproduction.net/files/NOTATECNICA36.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2018-06-04 13:43:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Wash tank or, as it is more commonly called, a gun barrel–is a settling tank fitted with an internal or external boot, or flume. Although gun barrels are not employed to the extent now that they once were, many are still used to break emulsions. In a gun barrel, oil and water are separated in a two-part action: (1) washing, and (2) settling. The washing is done in the free-water layer, and the settling occurs in the emulsion layer. Because all emulsions are not alike, the amount of free water that should be held in a gun barrel must be established for each lease. https://www.pittsoilfield.com/single-post/2017/04/22/The-Pur... |
