A towable separator unit (15) for oil wells (11) has a walled enclosure with tanks therein. The tanks, which are an oil-water tank (27), a water tank (29) and an oil tank (31), are separated from one another by interior side walls (39, 41). An inlet pipe (47) brings well fluids to the oil-water tank via a flume (49) that allows the contents to enter the tank and be separated. A water leg (59) allows water on the bottom to pass into the water tank; the water leg in contained inside the enclosure so as not to be subject to freezing. An oil outlet pipe (71) allows oil on top of the oil-water tank to exit and flow by gravity into the oil tank, The tanks have liquid level sensors (91 ) therein; the levels are displayed (95) on the outside and are transmitted to a remote location (99). The water and oil tanks have outlets (101,103). |
