- housing 12 with an inlet (not shown) for receiving a
- the vessel has a weir 14 and an oil outlet 16.
- the vessel shown is just one example of the many arrangements
- Such vessels may be used to separate 2,3 or 4
- a jet water inlet 18 having a generally axial
- the solids are fluidized by connecting the inlet 18 to a
- the fluidized solids are carried
- the nozzles 22 may be adapted to increase the jetting water
- the vessel also includes a water outlet 28 and a solids outlet
- the vessel is a separator, there is also an increased risk of
- the nozzles 22 are prone to blocking since they
- shroud 26 is usually too low to keep the solids fluidized
- the nozzles 22 are directed generally
- the jetting streamlines are
- a typical eductor has a solids
- the eductor acts as a jet pump which uses some of the energy
- the motive fluid is water which
- motive fluid may, for example, be seawater, produced water
- hydrocarbon (produced from the well) or hydrocarbon.
- the motive fluid entrains the fluid in which the eductor is
- a solids inlet may instead or in
- eductors may be "daisy-chained", i.e. the output of
- one eductor provides the input for the next eductor in the
- Figure 4 shows daisy-chained eductors 60 fed from a jet water
- jetting flow which is highly localized may be created at the
- the housing 66 has an inlet 67 for the jet water manifold 62.
- the housing 66 not only does the housing 66 have
- daisy-chained eductors located at its bottom but also a second
- eductors 60 transport the solids along the bottom in the
- the transverse eductors 70 draw their source generally
- the outlet of the transverse eductors 70 is drawn by the axial
- transverse eductors may be any suitable transverse eductors. It will be appreciated that the transverse eductors may be any suitable transverse eductors.
- the transverse eductors may be drawn through substantially
- the high velocity jet stream and are themselves fluidized and
- the solids layer is "eaten away" from the bottom of the layer.
- one or more outlet eductor 80 (as
- FIG. 4A may be used to draw fluidized solids from
- the outlet eductor 80 may be supplied
- Flow through the solids outlet 64 may also be enhanced by one
- the process vessel 66 may have more than one solids outlet 64
- plurality of outlets 64 may be coupled to one or more outlet
- the outlet 64 may be controlled.
- Transverse eductors 70 may be used alone in some embodiments
- a process vessel typically provides
- phase separator It may for example be a phase separator, or
- a holding tank It also may be a pressurised container.
- the process vessel housing 66 may be provided with one or more
- the weir helps to collect sand adjacent the solids outlet 64 and also helps to prevent disturbance of the upper regions of
