The treatment block includes a low pressure degasser (40) followed by a com­ pact electrostatic separator pre-treater (50) or a compact electrostatic separator pre- treater (50) followed by a low pressure degasser (40). The flash vessel (30) and/or the low pressure degasser (40) may employ an inlet cyclonic distributor and demisting cyclones, while the electrostatic treater may employ DUAL FREQUENCY® technology. The separator vessel (20) may be a single horizontal two-phase separator/degasser or two vertical two-phase separator/degassers that operate in parallel with each receiving approxim - ately 50 percent of the incoming produced water stream. The final outlet stream preferably contains no more than 0.5 BS&W and 285 milligrams per liter salt.
