摘要 |
The present invention relates to a gravity separator, primarily of the kind in which a mixture flowing from an oil well and containing water, oil, and gas is separated into discrete, vertically spaced, water, oil, and gas layers in a separator vessel for subsequent extraction from the vessel by way of a water outlet, oil outlet, and gas outlet, respectively. A gaseous medium is injected into the mixture containing water, oil, and gas to enhance the separation capacity. |
