For this FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel) project, the topside process modules are designed to treat the produced fluid into crude oil and fuel oil. The inlet design flow rate is over 150,000 barrels of water per day together with over 10,000 barrels of oil per day. The topside process modules are designed to separate the produced water and the gas from the crude oil, and to reduce the content of salt and H2S in the crude oil. The structural design was having limitation of providing no. of columns as the intermediate levels had to be kept clear & open for equipment layout and also the operation of equipment's & Valves.
The following modules as part of the design:
1) A heat medium module
2) A desalter module
3) A produced water treatment module
4) An separation module
And several skids:
5) A pig receiver skid
6) A sand cleaning skid
7) A flare knockout (KO) drum skid
The topside process modules and skids have a total estimated installed gross dry weight of 1,400 tones and a total installed gross operating weight of 2,300 tones
