Methods and systems are provided for desalting wash water treatment and recycling processes and control of those processes. More specifically, treatment of wash water and wastewater streams using forward osmosis are provided. Additional methods and systems for desalting processes are provided, including recycling wash water. Methods for controlling operations of desalting systems and processes are provided.

Disclosed herein is a device and methods for enhancing oil separation from produced water. One such method includes mixing a multiphase fluid having at least a water phase and an oil phase with a flotation gas, according to at least one operating condition, so as to produce an enhanced multiphase fluid having bubbles of the flotation gas therein. The oil phase is then separated from the water phase using a separator. At least one property associated with the enhanced multiphase fluid is monitored. The operating condition is adjusted as a function of the monitored property so as to increase a percentage of the oil phase separated from the water phase by the separator over a percentage of the oil phase that would be separated from the water phase without adjustment of the operating condition.

A fluid waste filtration system includes a housing configured to be coupled between and in fluid communication with a sink and a primary grease trap. The housing defines a chamber and includes a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a grease outlet each in fluid communication with the chamber. The grease outlet is defined in a plane at or above a plane of the fluid outlet. A wall is disposed in the housing and divides the chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber. The wall is configured to direct a fluid that flows into the first chamber through the fluid inlet toward the grease outlet.

A kitchen garbage processor, includes: a processor body, a dewatering component, and an oil-water separating component, the processor body has a working platform disposed thereon, an inlet for dumping kitchen garbage is disposed on the working platform, a fore end of the dewatering component is communicated with the inlet and configured to send a kitchen garbage that to be processed to the dewatering component to separate a solid garbage from a liquid garbage; a solid garbage outlet configured for sending out a processed solid garbage and a liquid garbage outlet configured for sending out a residual liquid garbage are disposed at a rear end of the dewatering component; a fore end of the oil-water separating component is communicated with the liquid garbage outlet so as to send liquid garbage that to be processed to the oil-water separating component to separate oil from water; an oil outlet configured for sending out separated oil and a water outlet configured for sending out separated water are disposed at a rear end of the oil-water separating component. Purpose of separating solid garbage, oil and water simultaneously is realized.

A separator for separating constituents of well fluid produced by a well is provided. The separator includes a vessel for receiving well fluid such that a first fluid constituent overlies a second fluid constituent within the vessel, a collection pipe having an opening for collecting a first fluid constituent from the vessel, and a positioner connected to the collection pipe for rotating the collection pipe about an axis to adjust a height of the opening within well fluid in the vessel. A method and system are also provided.

Systems and methods for crude oil separations including degassing, dewatering, desalting, and stabilization, one method including separating crude oil into a crude oil off-gas and a partially degassed crude oil output; compressing the crude oil off-gas; applying the compressed crude oil off-gas for indirect heating of the partially degassed crude oil output; further heating the partially degassed crude oil output indirectly with compressed low pressure gas; directly mixing with the partially degassed crude oil output a compressed atmospheric pressure gas; separating from the partially degassed crude oil output a low pressure gas for use in the step of further heating; and separating from the partially degassed crude oil output an atmospheric pressure gas for use in the step of directly mixing.

Systems and methods for controlling desalting and dehydration of crude oil, one method including monitoring total dissolved solids (TDS) content at an outlet stream from a crude oil separation unit, the outlet stream comprising water; monitoring basic sediment and water (BS&W) content at an outlet stream from the crude oil separation unit, the outlet stream comprising processed crude oil; determining pounds per thousand barrels (PTB) salt content and volumetric water content of a dried, desalted crude oil product stream using the TDS content and BS&W content; and controlling a process input to the method from a comparison between the PTB salt content and volumetric water content of the dried, desalted crude oil product stream versus a maximum set value for PTB salt content and volumetric water content of the dried, desalted crude oil product stream.

A method for cleaning fuel oil for a diesel engine includes providing a fuel oil to be cleaned, supplying said fuel oil to be cleaned to a centrifugal separator, and cleaning said fuel oil in the centrifugal separator to provide a clean oil phase. The method further includes measuring the viscosity of the fuel oil to be cleaned before cleaning in said centrifugal separator or the viscosity of the clean oil phase, and regulating the temperature of the fuel oil to be cleaned based on said measured viscosity.

An electrochemical separation device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a cell stack including alternating depleting compartments and concentrating compartments disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, an inlet manifold configured to introduce a fluid to one of the depleting compartments or the concentrating compartments an outlet manifold, and one or more of a fluid flow director disposed within the inlet manifold and having a surface configured to alter a flow path of the fluid introduced into the inlet manifold and direct the fluid into the one of the depleting compartments or the concentrating compartments, and a second fluid flow director disposed within the outlet manifold and having a surface configured to alter a flow path of the fluid introduced into the outlet manifold via one of the depleting compartments or the concentrating compartments.
