"CAPACITANCE SYSTEM FOR HEAVY PHASE DISCHARGE OF SECOND STAGE CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATION CIRCUIT" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A single capacitance vessel is provided to receive the excess heavy phase discharges (normally water) from a bank of disc-nozzle centrifugal separators. The vessel has a reservoir chamber with a weir at one end. The heavy phase streams are delivered into the reservoir of fluid retained in this chamber. In the event there are any hydro- carbons in the heavy phase fluid, the former rise to the surface of the reservoir fluid and pass over the weir, together with some water. An inert gas blanket within the vessel pressurizes the reservoir so that a fluid backpressure is maintained at the discharge outlets of the separators. By use of this system, any fluid returned from the reservoir to the separators (which occurs when the feed to the separators is low in water) is substantially free of hydrocarbons which, if present, would deleteriously affect the operation of the separators. In addition, the fluid passing over the weir is separated by a downstream weir system into hydrocarbon- rich and water-rich fractions which are separately recovered.
