Project

The Al Shaheen Oil Field is a production oil and gas field off the northeast coast of Qatar in the Persian Gulf, 80 km (50 mi) north of Doha. The oil field lies above the North Gas Field, one of the largest gas fields in the world. The field has been operated by Maersk Oil Qatar, a Danish company, until July 2017 under a production-sharing agreement with QatarEnergy, on behalf of the state of Qatar. As of June 2016, QatarEnergy and the French major TotalEnergies established a new company known as North Oil Company. The new company is 70% owned by QatarEnergy and 30% by TotalEnergies. North Oil Company took over field operations on 14 July 2017.

PROCESS VESSEL

Decanters and Settlers are process vessels that utilize gravity to separate immiscible liquid phases or to separate suspended solid particles from a liquid phase. Their primary function is to achieve efficient phase separation by allowing denser components to settle to the bottom or lighter components to float to the top, which can then be drawn off separately. These fundamental separation units are widely applied in wastewater treatment, chemical processing, oil & gas production (e.g., oil-water separation), and mining operations for initial phase separation.

Solid-Liquid Settling Tanks, also known as clarifiers or thickeners, are large tanks where suspended solid particles are allowed to settle out of a liquid phase due to gravity. Their primary function is to clarify liquids (remove solids), thicken slurries (increase solid concentration), or recover valuable solid products from suspensions. These essential units are fundamental in wastewater treatment, mining (mineral processing), food processing, and various chemical industries.

Flotation Units are specialized separation vessels where gas bubbles (typically air) are introduced into a liquid suspension to selectively attach to and lift solid particles or oil droplets to the surface for removal. Their primary function is the efficient separation of fine suspended solids, oils, or certain minerals from wastewater, slurries, or process streams, often when density differences are insufficient for gravity settling. These units are key in mining (mineral processing), wastewater treatment, and paper recycling industries.

Cyclones and Centrifugal Separators are devices that utilize centrifugal force to efficiently separate particles (either solid or liquid droplets) from gas or liquid streams. Their primary function is the rapid and cost-effective removal of dust, mists, or fine particulates from industrial flows, often serving as a pre-treatment step for more advanced filtration or for product recovery. These versatile separators are commonly employed in air pollution control, mining, cement production, grain processing, and chemical manufacturing for particulate removal.
