The reduction of oil losses from evaporation in oil gathering facilities

Abstract

During the filling-up and discharge, the transfer of oil products from one to another reservoir in oil gathering facilities and in the storage period, the losses of products due to the evaporation, as well as the environment contamination occur. To reduce the evaporation losses, the gas medium of a reservoir should be connected to the manifold pipe. For the condensation of oil vapor, the reservoir connecting the gas space of the tanks passing through the drain vessel, the reservoir of the crude oil or the reservoir of produced water should be joined with the drain vessel. The vapor passing through the overflow tank is condensed as a result of cooling.
