Abstract

A method and apparatus for inline, controlled water separation from a multiphase hydrocarbon production stream. The method includes the steps of directing the multiphase hydrocarbon production stream to a gas/liquid separator (14) preferably a cylindrical cyclone separator (14) to separate into a gas stream (16) and a liquid stream (18). The level of liquid in the gas/liquid separator is monitored and controlled. The liquid stream removed from the gas/liquid separator is directed to an enlarged pipe section (36) to separate into an oil portion and a water portion (38). The level of the oil portion in the enlarged pipe section (36) is monitored and controlled. The water portion (38) from the enlarged pipe section (36) is directed to a liquid-liquid cyclone centrifugal separator (50) to separate into a water stream and a hydrocarbon concentrated stream. The water stream from the liquid cyclone centrifugal separator (50) is directed to at least one de- oiling hydrocyclone separator (70). The oily water stream is directed back to the production stream (82) for further processing and the water stream (78) is delivered.
