X20 Skid-mounted centrifuge for heavy crude oil dehydration0 pages
For produced water de-oiling
X20
The Alfa Laval X20, model OFSX 520S-71CEGPX, is a high
capacity concentrator designed for de-oiling of produced
water. The design is based on the robust nozzle-type disc
bowl centrifuge in order to withstand the demanding conditions
in the oil-producing industry. The machine is in compliance
with the EC ATEX directive category 2, and therefore
Zones 1 and 2.
As an option, the machine can be operated under a positive
pressure of 400 kPa, as it has an ASME-approved pressure
casing. The X20 concentrator is one machine in the X20
family, which also consists of machines for applications such
as heavy crude and tar sand dehydration.
Applications
The X20 concentrator is designed to reduce the oil content
to 15 ppm or lower in produced water. Using a centrifuge for
this application is especially suitable for:
- heavy crude oil facilities
- gas production facilities with associated condensate
- deepwater offshore facilities including floating platforms
The compact design makes it especially useful for offshore
processing, including at floating platforms where the sea
heave may cause problems for conventional technology
