A gun barrel separator is an atmospheric vessel that producers use to separate oil, water, and gas. Gun barrel separators are also referred to as settling tanks and wash tanks. How does a gun barrel tank work for oil separation? By the time it reaches the gun barrel the emulsion has typically gone through multiple stages of separation.

2005年6月28日 · It is known as the HWSB Skim Tank. This tank is designed to separate very small quantities of oil from very large quantities of water. Since 1991 many thousands of these HWSB Skim Tanks have successfully replaced gunbarrel tanks, separating and capturing over 99% of all entrained oil in the produced water fed into them.
