Patent

CA 2195267

There is provided a hydrocyclone which operates on a relatively low pressure differential and on a linear flow principle. The hydrocyclone comprises an inlet chamber with a vortex creating a spiral insert therein, which inlet chamber opens in to a frustoconical portion of the hydrocyclone body. The frustoconical portion opens into a cylindrical portion which leads both to the accept and reject outlets at the end. The hydrocyclone is particularly useful for on sight separation of produced water in oil fields. The invention also provides hydrocyclone units of linked hydrocyclones according to the present invention, fluid separation systems incorporating hydrocyclones of the invention and methods of separating fluids using hydrocyclones in the invention.

Hydrocyclone fonctionnant à une pression différentielle relativement basse et selon le principe de l'écoulement linéaire. L'hydrocyclone comprend une section d'entrée où une pièce insérée hélicoïdale crée un tourbillon. La section d'entrée s'ouvre sur une partie tronconique du corps de l'hydrocyclone. La partie tronconique débouche sur une partie cylindrique qui communique à la fois sur les sorties des acceptés et des rejets à l'extrémité. L'hydrocyclone est particulièrement utile lors de la séparation sur place de l'eau provenant des champs pétrolifères. L'invention touche également des installations de séparation composés d'hydrocylones reliés, des systèmes de séparation des fluides intégrant des hydrocyclones et des méthodes de séparation des fluides au moyen d'hydrocyclones.
