Challenge

What had to be solved

Treat a high-water-cut shale-oil stream to export specification in a compact process.

Response

How Sennuo approached it

Apply an all-gravity-balanced pulse separation train adapted to changing produced-fluid properties.

Result

What the work established

The cited 1,500 m³/d case reduced incoming water content from 93.7% to below 0.5% at outlet.
