TST CFU - Compact Flotation Unit
TS Technology introduce a new generation Compact Flotation Unit (CFU). The CFU is a vertical pressure vessel which is designed to deal with the mixture of oil and gas, water, from all stages in the treatment process to ensure low oil in water content before being either discharged or re-injected. This new generation of CFU is a high performance single vessel.
The technology is based on flotation principles whereby the special internals create small gas bubbles that get connected to small oil droplets that contribute to the separation process. The flotation process is maintained by the evolution of dissolved gas and/or additional gas injected into the water feed. Oil droplets and gas bubbles are co-mixed together and due to the low density of this mixture, the oil and gas will separate easily in the vessel. The special design of the vessel internals allows this process to be repeated within several stages in one vessel. Numbers of stages are depending on the application where the technology shall be used. Compared to existing technology the TST CFU can handle much smaller oil droplets. Oil droplets down to 1 micron have been removed.
