Oil dumping with water in a three-phase separator occurs when there is an emulsion or a mixture of oil, water, and gas that is not effectively separated. This can happen due to inadequate separation time, improper operating conditions, or the presence of surfactants that stabilize the emulsion. Additionally, if the separator's design or maintenance is not optimal, it may lead to inefficient separation and result in oil being dumped with produced water. Proper management and monitoring of the separator's operational parameters can help minimize this issue.

How does a three phase separator work?
A three-phase separator works by using gravity to separate oil, water, and gas that have been produced from a well. The separator utilizes different compartments and internal components such as baffles or weirs to slow down the flow and allow for the separation of the three phases based on their density. Each phase then exits the separator through separate outlets.
What is the difference between water separator and moisture separator?
A water separator is used to remove bulk water from a gas stream, while a moisture separator is used to remove fine water droplets or mist from a gas stream. Water separators are typically used in larger industrial applications, while moisture separators are used in processes where precise control of moisture content is important, such as in compressed air systems.
What are the disadvantages of using an oil water separator?
emulsifier. Also, a device that removes oil from water, or water from oil - depending upon its application.
How do you minimized water?
You can minimize water pollution by not littering or dumping things into the water
How does a horizontal petroleum separator work?
Separator design can be complex. I will just cover the basics. Crude oil from a well needs to be cleaned up, that is removal water and gas, so that it can be sold. The horizontal separator has an inlet at one end, where the crude oil enters. In a three phase separator, the gas will separate from the oil due to the lower pressure in the vessel and flow out of an outlet in the top of the separator. Water is generally less dense than oil so it will settle in the bottom of the vessel. A water level controller is needed to make sure the oil does not drain out the bottom. A diagram of a horizontal separator is shown in the following link: http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Display.cfm?Term=separator Why do I say that the design is complex? A common problem is that the gas can entrain some of the oil if the velocity of gas is high in the separator. Baffles are designed to prevent this. The separator never perfectly separates the gas and water from the oil, and a staged separation system may be needed. Gas to be saleable may need to be dehydrated after separation. The water may contain oil, and need additional clean up before disposal.
