Abstract

A method for optimising the use of chemicals, in particular the use of antifoaming agents and emulsion breakers, for gas/oil/water fluid in oil processing plants on the seabed, onshore or offshore. The chemicals are dosed on the basis of the effect they have on the thickness of the foam layer and the emulsion layer, respectively, of the fluid. The fluid may expediently be supplied to and separated in a separator (1); the measurement of the emulsion and foam layers is performed by a measuring device (3), which emits signals to a control device (4), which controls the operation of pumps (5, 6), which, in turn, pump, at all times, the measured quantity of chemical to the fluid to be separated.
