Well, there are practically many. But let us look at five standard techniques of oil and water separation. 1.      Heat Separation Heat separation is one of the most common techniques used in oil and water separation. As the name suggests, it involves the application of heating the mixture to a specific temperature to enhance separation. When the temperature of the mixture increases, the viscosity of the oil decreases. Such a lowered viscosity enables the easy release of gas and water. Further, heating oil emulsions also augments the density between oil and water. 2.      Agitation A production fluid gets agitated when it hits the diverter plate at the vessel’s inlet. Such a sudden impact on the plate leads to a rapid change in direction and velocity that helps break the surface tension of the liquids and initiates the separation process. There exist several types of inlet diverters in separators, and the selections are made based on the attributes and the volume of the well st

Random packings have been traditionally used for absorption, stripping and fractionation operations in gas, refinery and chemical plants with well-established benefits.
