Abstract:
A system includes a vessel, a module, and an oil skimming trough. The vessel includes a feed inlet distributor. The feed inlet distributor includes an inlet pipe, a housing, and multiple vanes disposed within the housing. The inlet pipe is configured to receive a feed stream including oil and water. The housing defines multiple perforations. The vanes are configured to direct flow of the feed stream to exit the housing through the perforations. The module is disposed within the vessel downstream of the feed inlet distributor. The module includes multiple coalescer plates and a set of baffles disposed within the vessel downstream of the coalescer plates. The set of baffles includes a first underflow baffle, an overflow baffle, and a second underflow baffle. The second underflow baffle defines multiple perforations. The oil skimming trough spans longitudinally across the vessel.
