DEVICE FOR SEPARATION OF EMULSIONS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: separation of emulgated hydrocarbon nonviscous media with different types of emulsions with predominant both hydrocarbon and aqueous phases; may be used in deep dewatering of hydrocarbon media and fuels, and in treatment of oil-field and sewage waters from oil and oil products in oil-and-gas producing and processing industries. SUBSTANCE: device has body accommodating filtering-coalescing pack from flexible foamed porous-cellular polymer material laid by transverse layers with diameter which exceeds the inner diameter of body installed in horizontal position. Material layers are arranged in sections with spaces between sections filled with material whose density of porous-cellular structure is increased from section to section. At the flow outlet the plane of sections is inclined to horizontal at an angle not smaller than that of liquid backflow. The last section is separated from settling zone by a vertical perforated partition. EFFECT: improved design. 2 dwg
