X20 For heavy crude oil dehydration - Alfa Laval - #1

Text version of the page

For heavy crude oil dehydration X20 The Alfa Laval X20, model OFSX 520T-11CEGPX, is a high capacity purifier designed for dehydration of crude oil, especially heavy crude oil with an API down to 11.5. The design is based on the robust nozzle-type centrifuge in order to withstand the demanding situations encountered 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 purifier is one machine in the X20 family, which also consists of machines for applications such as produced water de-oiling and tar sand dehydration. Applications The X20 purifier is designed to reduce the water and particle content down to 0.5% BS&W or lower in crude oil at a water cut of up to 30%. Using a centrifuge for this application is especially suitable for heavy crude oil (down to API 11.5). The compact design makes it especially useful for offshore processing, including at floating platforms where the sea heave may cause problems for conventional technology.
