ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for removing oil from the produced water that is associated with the production of hydrocarbons. The method consists of providing a plurality of serially connected individual compartments with each compartment connected to the next compartment by a flow path that induces the oil droplets to coalesce. The method may also include the use of parallel plate coalescers and gas flotation devices to aid in treating.
