  • Three-phase separation of hydrocarbon containing fluids
    Patent number: 11480042
    Abstract: Systems and methods for separation of hydrocarbon containing fluids are provided. More particularly, the disclosure is relevant to separating fluids having a gas phase, a hydrocarbon liquid phase, and an aqueous liquid phase using indirect heating. In general, the system uses a first three-phase gas separation. The gas stream separated out is cooled with the resulting hydrocarbon condensates reintroduced to the stream of hydrocarbon-liquid phase that was separated from the fluid. The resulting combined stream can be cooled or heated as necessary.
    Type: Grant
