In attempting to upgrade crude oil to pipeline quality, it often proves necessary to treat the oil in more than one apparatus. A simple solution to the problem is to provide an apparatus including a flashing section coupled to a treating section in which the crude oil is desanded and dewatered. The flashing section heats the oil to a temperature in which water can exist only as a vapor, and the vapor thus generated is discharged through a demister. |
