DEVICE FOR SEPARATION OF EMULSIONS

FIELD: devices for separation of emulsified hydrocarbon media in oil and gas producing industry; may be used in combined treatment of oil and water at oil fields. SUBSTANCE: device is made as filtering-coalescing pack in the form of unit of sections from plates of porous-cellular materials laid by layers with increasing density of cells and pores from section to section and at an angle not smaller than the angle of backflow of liquid in direction of flow movement. Material of the first sections is porous-cellular metal or alloy, and that of the last section is porous-cellular polymer material. Pack additionally contains a unit of sections installed from the side of inlet with spaces between sections filled with plates of foamed porous-cellular polymer material arranged with increasing density of porous-cellular structure from section to section, and units are separated from one another by settling zone. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 3 dwgr
