Siemens Vorsep™ Compact Flotation System
Source: Siemens Industry, Inc. - Water TechnologiesOur proprietary Vorsep™ compact flotation unit incorporates several unique methods for removing oil from produced and wastewater streams before they are discharged, reused, or injected.
The unit is compact and lightweight, ideally suited for offshore applications where footprint and weight are critical. The Vorsep™ system can reduce the residence time necessary for separation by 80 percent or more, relative to standard flotation systems. This separation efficiency results in reducing the inventoried water in the system by the same percentage as the residence time, resulting in a system optimized for footprint and weight without reducing effectiveness.
The Vorsep™ unit can be designed as an ASME code or non-coded vessel.
Applications
- Removal of oil in produced water from offshore and onshore production facilities
- Secondary oil/water separation of refinery or crude upgrader wastewater
- Removal of pulp from wastewater in the paper industry
- Treatment of oily wastewater
