Overview: The document discusses the M-pak® oil and water separators designed for offshore applications, highlighting their efficiency in handling production water, which contains smaller and more emulsified oil droplets compared to platform waters.

Characteristics of Production Water: Production water differs from platform waters due to its origin and composition. It contains smaller oil droplets (<25 microns) and may include dissolved oil and water-soluble organic compounds. Chemicals like demulsifiers and biocides are often used, complicating separation.

M-pak® Technology: The M-pak® separators use multiple angle technology with modularly stacked M-shaped oleophilic plates made from polypropylene or polyoxymethylene. They guarantee 100% separation of oil droplets and solid particles larger than 20 microns, outperforming traditional separators that handle particles of 50-70 microns.

Plate Principle: The improved coalescing process involves laminar flow through corrugated plates, which accelerates and pulsates the flow, enhancing separation. Oil forms a film under the plates and is transported upwards.

Performance Features: The system reduces oil contamination to as low as 10 ppm, is self-cleaning, and operates efficiently across a wide temperature range (2°C - 90°C). It requires no chemicals or filtration and offers a large coalescing area.

Applications: The M-pak® separators are suitable for deck drainage, produced water, membrane units, and oil-based mud separators for drilling rigs. Options include sludge removal systems, ATEX executions, and high-pressure separators.

Innovative Membrane Units: Facet International has developed a new separator to meet IMO 2005 resolution requirements, achieving effluent content of less than 5 ppm. These units combine coalescent plates with new membrane technology, offering compact, lightweight, and low-maintenance solutions.

Additional Products: The document also mentions other offshore industry products such as diesel filter and dewatering skids, drinking water units, sewage systems, and helicopter refueling units.
