Abstract

Produksjonslfuidblanding fra en brønn blir dirigert gjennom en sandfjemingsenhet (12) inn i en uthentbar modul (1) installert i et modulært sjø-bunnsprosesseringssystem, og enheten (12) samler sand fra blandingen. Produksjonsfluidblandingen entrer så et fluidseparasjonskammer (17) i modulen (1) hvor det blir separert til en gass og en blanding av av olje og vann. Sjøvann blir trukket inn fra utenfor modulen og pumpet inn i sandfjerningsenheten (12) for skylle den oppsamlede sand. Det blandede skylte sand og sjøvann blir sammenblandet med blandingen av olje og vann nedstrøms fluidseparasjonskammeret (17), og blandingen blir transportert til en vertsfasilitet. Der blir sanden separert fra den sammenblandede blanding og fjernet.Production fluid mixture from a well is directed through a sand removal unit (12) into a retrievable module (1) installed in a modular seabed processing system, and the unit (12) collects sand from the mixture. The production fluid mixture then enters a fluid separation chamber (17) in the module (1) where it is separated into a gas and a mixture of oil and water. Seawater is drawn in from outside the module and pumped into the sand removal unit (12) to rinse the collected sand. The mixed washed sand and seawater is mixed with the mixture of oil and water downstream of the fluid separation chamber (17), and the mixture is transported to a host facility. There, the sand is separated from the blended mixture and removed.
