Vacuum deaeration: a new unit operation for waterflood treating plants

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7322085
Conoco uses vacuum deaeration in treating seawater for injection in California and Dubai. With multistage towers, oxygen concentration in the effluent water is reduced to <0.05 mg/l, precluding need for corrosion inhibitor treatment. Improvements in the Dubai towers are noted, as are problems, such as foaming, which have been encountered. Data on throughput and oxygen concentrations are included.
