Nozzle separator for heavy crude oil dehydration
Achieve efficient dehydration of heavy crude oils with precision-engineered nozzle separators, ensuring optimal separation and high-purity end products crucial for downstream refining processes.
Dehydrates and Separates Heavy Crude Oil
The ODB 260 Nozzle Separator from GEA Group is a cornerstone solution for the oil and gas industry, designed to efficiently dehydrate and separate heavy crude oil and bitumen. Utilizing a modular design and a single ODB 260 nozzle centrifuge, it ensures continuous, automatic operation with high-speed performance. Engineered for land-based and offshore applications, its compact skid-mounted system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, minimizing space requirements and facilitating easy maintenance. Rated at a capacity of up to 250 m³/h, it optimizes the processing of crude oil derivatives, diesel fuel, and petrochemicals, significantly enhancing throughput. The system’s automatic PLC controls and Ex-zone compatibility ensure safety and reliability, while its carbon steel construction with stainless options offers corrosion resistance suitable for harsh operational environments. Pre-assembled and factory-tested, the ODB 260 reduces on-site commissioning time, aligning with industry standards for oil field operations.
