Outline
Function of a hydrocyclone in a produced water system
Case study – Optimisation of a cyclonic package
Monitoring performance - Baseline
Optimisation of hydrocyclone
Economical benefit

Case Study Client requested process survey to troubleshoot process
Produced water treatment package outlet >100 ppm Oil
Not meeting environmental guidelines Financial Penalties
Online monitoring to determine performance of separation process
Found hydrocyclone to be operating sub-optimally
