Cost-effective phase separation in chemical and hydrocarbon production

In chemicals production or hydrocarbon refining facilities, several process units are designed to separate hydrocarbons from aqueous-based fluids, selectively remove or extract impurities, and prevent or control foaming. Efficient phase separation is critical in process units such as:

	Refinery desalters and cokers
	Ethylene quench water systems
	Water wash systems in chemicals production
	API separators

Over the past decade, GE Water & Process Technologies has developed patented products (oil-based, water-based, and silicone-based) for improving overall separation efficiency while reducing overall operating cost. The following products and treatments can help you meet your production and profit goals:

	Petroflo™ for foaming control and emulsion breaking
	Foamtrol™ for foaming control
	Embreak™ for emulsion breaking
	SolSet™ for solids settling
	SolSep™ for solids separation
	ProChem™ for foaming control and emulsion breaking
	Predator™ for processing of opportunity crudes
	SpecAid™ for treatment of finished fuels

GE specialists can diagnose your production problem, identify potential treatment options, apply the most cost-effective phase separation programs, and monitor the results to ensure optimum performance.
