Improvement of the design of the heating section oil and gas separator type «Heater-Treater»

The article discusses the problem of burnout of the flame tubes of the «Heater-Treater» oil and gas separator due to the deposition of oil sludge on their surface. To solve the problem, an improved design of the heating section of this apparatus is proposed. In order to reduce burnout of the flame tubes and the deposition of oil sludge on their surface, it is proposed to change the design of the input device and the distribution of the emulsion in the heating section.
