Which Separation Technique is Used to Separate Oil from Water?

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 a...

Random Packing

Image
Random packings have been traditionally used for absorption, stripping and fractionation operations in gas, refinery and chemical plants with well-established benefits. They provide a cheaper alternative to increase a tower’s capacity and efficiency. Finepac’s leading application know-how offers you an optimum solution for even of your most critical and demanding applications. Read more at  Random Packing .

Distillation Column Systems

Image
  Distillation is used to separate components in a feed mixture based upon their relative boiling points. A simple, continuous distillation column can make the separation between two components into two product streams. In multi-component systems, the two main components to be separated are designated as the light and heavy keys. The light key is the more volatile component in greater purity in the top product stream, and the heavy key is the less volatile component in greater purity in the bottom product stream. While the demand for other industrial equipment rises and falls based on various factors, the need for top quality distillation equipment is always in relevance. This is primarily because of the widespread requirement of distillation units across various industries, ranging all the way from oil refineries to pharmaceuticals and even food processing. Also, at a macro level, there are multiple methods of industrial separation. But when we take a closer look, the most prevale...

Distillation Columns and Internals for New-Age Challenges

Image
New-age challenges require industrialists to give up the conventional thought process and look at those concerns as an opportunity to innovate and engineer new solutions aligned with the present and the future. Distillation columns and internals aren’t an exception to it. With age-old distillation columns and internals, companies can do very little about resolving bottlenecks and inefficiencies they encounter in pursuit of meeting contemporary demands. As a result, companies must evolve their intellect to devise distillation columns and internals that meet modern demands, deliver competence, and maintain relevance in the market. Finepac, one of the leading distillation column manufacturers in India, has always walked with time and innovate solutions that have helped it prove its worth time and again. Accordingly, it talks about a few new-age challenges and column internal solutions aligned with them. 4 Common Present-Day Challenges 1.      Equipment-Related Cha...

The Process of Glycol Gas Dehydration

Glycols are organically chosen as dehydrating agents, owing to their stability to thermal and chemical decomposition. They are available at moderate costs; prove useful in continual operations, and easy to regenerate. Finepac, the premier companies dealing in the manufacturing of a broad array of mass transfer products, mist eliminators, static mixers, etc. offers an overview of the glycol  gas dehydration  process. The Process of Glycol Gas Dehydration When in the liquid state, hydrogen bonding results in the high association between water molecules. The ether groups and hydroxyl in glycols form the same type of association with water molecules. This liquid-phase hydrogen bonding with glycol offers a higher affinity for the absorption of water in glycol. Out of the four different types of glycols, TEG (Triethylene Glycol) is the most preferred glycol on account of its lower capital and operating costs. Besides, TEG offers technical convenience as well. It is easy to generate ...
