Type of process equipments etc is dependent on the process
itself.

Water Treatment
When the water cut is high, there will
be a huge amount of produced water.
A water cut of 40% gives a water
production of about 4000m3 per day
(4 million liters) that must be cleaned
before discharge to sea.
Often this water contains sand
particles bound to the oil/water
emulsion.
The environmental regulations limits
oil in water discharged to sea to 40
mg/liter (ppm).
It also places limits other forms of
contaminants.

Water Systems
Potable Water
For larger facilities, potable water is provided on site
by desalination of seawater though
distillation/reverse osmosis.
Seawater
Seawater is used for cooling purposes to Air
Compressor Coolers, Gas Coolers, Main Generators
and HVAC.
Also used for production of hypochlorite and for Fire
Water.
Seawater is treated with hypochlorite to prevent
microbiological growth in process equipment and
piping.
Ballast Water
Ballast systems are found on drilling rigs, floating
production ships and rigs as well as TLP (tension leg
platforms). The object is to keep the platform level
and at a certain depth under varying conditions.

situation or as part of a normal
procedure.

subsea production flowlines and
export pipelines
HVAC
The Heat, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning system (HVAC) feeds
conditioned air to the equipment rooms, accommodations etc.
Cooling and heating is achieved by way of water cooled or water/steam
heated heat exchangers.
Heat may also be taken off gas turbine exhaust. In tropic and sub-tropic
areas, the cooling is achieved by compressor refrigeration units. Also, in
tropical areas gas turbine inlet air must be cooled to achieve sufficient
efficiency and performance.
The HVAC system is usually delivered as one package, and may also
include air emissions cleaning.
Some HVAC subsystems include:
Cool: Cooling Medium, Refrigeration System, Freezing System
Heat: Heat medium system, Hot Oil System.
