This paper describes new waste water treatment equipment used on offshore oil and gas rigs to remove hydrocarbons from production water. As effluent regulations are requiring more stringent control on decoiling, hydrocyclone, diffusion, and centrifuge technologies are competing for their percentage of market shares. This paper describes each of these technologies and the equipment used to obtain these effluent standards. Economics and performance of each type are described.
