FWKO 유수분리공정을 이용한 오일-물 혼합물의 분리특성 = Characteristics of Water Separation for Oil-Water Mixture in a FWKO Vessel

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Characteristics of water separation in a FWKO(Free Water Knock Out) vessel was investigated to remove water from oil-water mixture. Decane, toluene, and asphalt were used as model oils. Preliminary experiments were carried out for decane in a prototype FWKO vessel. Based on the results of preliminary experiments, the prototype vessel was modified and its performance was evaluated by using toluene. The effects of experimental variables on the separation of oil-water mixture were evaluated in terms of separation efficiency. The experimental variables include water cut(water ratio), number of baffles, residence times, and operation temperatures. The optimum conditions of water separation were found to be 0.8 water cut, 3 baffles, 1,200 sec, and 45℃ .
