High-speed separator for oil and water phases in oil & gas
Ensure continuous operation in harsh oil and gas environments with high-speed separation of viscous, contaminated media, offering robust performance in dewatering and desalting processes.
Separates and Purifies Oil and Water Phases
The separators for oil and gas by GEA are engineered to optimize phase separation and purification in demanding industrial environments. These high-speed centrifuges utilize advanced centrifugal force to efficiently process oil, gas, and solid-liquid mixtures, including crude and slop oils. With throughput capacities reaching up to 80 m³/h, they are integral for applications such as dewatering, desalting, and de-oiling in oil and gas production and drilling operations. Offering seamless integration into existing production lines, the separators are PLC-controlled for automatic and continuous operation, ensuring reliable performance with minimal maintenance needs.
Designed with corrosion-resistant duplex and super duplex steel, these separators provide robust durability and meet explosion protection (ATEX) standards, making them suitable for both onshore and offshore installations. Their compact design minimizes space requirements, while options for nitrogen blanketing offer additional operational safety. With GEA’s expertise, these separators are customizable to meet specific processing requirements, supported by comprehensive engineering and technical assistance.
