Westfalia To Supply Troll

Platform With Modules

Westfalia Separator will supply the floating Troll Olje platform with two centrifugal treatment modules — one to handle drain water treat- ment, the other for dewatering and desalting diesel oil. Abrasives, dust, condensate, decomposition and com- bustion residues lead to premature aging of lube oil, which in turn re- sults in premature destruction of bearing points, pistons and cylin- ders. Westfalia supplies centrifugal separator systems to existing and new oil conveying plants for all ap- plications in the area of liquid - liquid - solid separation. Field ap- plications for separators and decant- ers are clarification of drilling flu- ids, e.g., removal of fine solids and recovery of weight material; dewa- tering crude oil; purifying fuel, lube and hydraulic oils.
