• single stage separator

• two stage separator

• three stage separator

Initial Separation Pressure is too high

• gas flashes

• light hydrocarbons from liquid oil become gas

• light components will stay in the
  liquid
  

• gas doesnt separate, stay dissolved in oil

• one stage separator

• two stage separator

• three stage separator

Discharge pressure

• pressure at the outlet of a piece of equipment — such as a pump, compressor, or separator — where fluid is being discharged into the next stage of the process.

• rate of pressure change over distance — how pressure drops or changes along the flow path of a fluid

• pressure difference

FWKO

• allow the
  oil to be dumped to a treater or tank and the water to be dumped to
  the water treating system
  

• designed to separate the
  free water from the oil and emulsion, as well as separate gas from liquid
  

• compress the flash gas to sales
  

• vertical FWKO

• Horizontal bulk treater
  

• Gunbarrel” with an internal “Gas Boot.
  

• Three-stage compressor
  

• Water treating system
  

• Typical frame arrestor
  

• Pressure valve

• Typical pressure/vacuum valve
