Abstract: An apparatus for treating a multiphase hydrocarbon-containing fluid in an oil and/or gas production facility, the apparatus comprising: (a) an inlet for a multiphase hydrocarbon-containing fluid, wherein the inlet comprises a first pipe network configured to be connectable to a plurality of oil well heads in an oil field; (b) a separation system comprising: (i) a solids separator in fluid communication with the inlet; (ii) a solids outlet connected to the solids separator; (iii) a fluid separator in fluid communication with the solids separator, the fluid separator being configured to separate the remaining multiphase hydrocarbon-containing fluid into an oil phase, a water phase and a gas phase; (iv) an oil outlet connected to the fluid separator; (v) a gas outlet connected to the fluid separator; and (vi) a water outlet connected to the fluid separator; (c) a solids cleaning system connected to the solids outlet, wherein the solids cleaning system is configured to clean deposits of residual oil from the soli

Abstract: Apparatus for separating solid particles from a hydrocarbon-containing fluid produced from an oil and/or gas production facility, supported on a wellhead or a riser connected to a wellhead, the apparatus comprising: a conduit for conveying a hydrocarbon-containing fluid from a wellhead or a riser connected to the wellhead; a solids separator in fluid communication with the conduit adapted to separate solid particles from the hydrocarbon-containing fluid, a solids outlet for outputting solid particles separated by the solids separator, a fluid outlet for outputting hydrocarbon-containing fluid separated by the solids separator; and an output conduit, coupled to the fluid outlet, for conveying the hydrocarbon-containing fluid from the fluid outlet into a production line attached to the wellhead.

Abstract: An apparatus for, and a method of, separating oil, water, gas and solid particles (usually sand) from a hydrocarbon-containing fluid produced from an oil and/or gas production facility. In particular, this invention relates to an apparatus and method for the separation of oil, water, gas and solid particles from a well or group of wells using an integrated apparatus which significantly reduces the space required on the production platform or rig and recycles produced gas to improve process efficiency while reducing cost.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for a particle separator (10) for separation of particles in a liquid, gas or both, where the separator comprises an outer cylinder (12), or tank, which is equipped with an upper inlet opening (14) and an upper and a lower outlet opening (16, 18) for export of liquid/gas and particles, respectively. Furthermore, the separator comprises a shaft (22) equipped with a number of vanes or blades (24), that are arranged to be driven by an adjoining motor (20). A centrally placed pipe-formed inner cylinder (26) is arranged around the shaft (22) with said vanes or blades (24), where the inner cylinder comprises a number of slits (36). The invention also relates to a method for separation of particles in a liquid and/or gas.
