Hydro cyclone are widely used in oil and gas industry particularly in this study similar to de-oiling process or improve purification of discharged water. As offshore oil production started to decline over time with high water cut in the production stream, this usually cause unprofitable production for huge expenditures in water handling. The perio...

Context 1
... hydrocyclone separation is fundamentally straight forward which is explained by schematic diagram of hydrocyclone exhibited in Figure-1 below. The pressurized oil-water mixture is transmitted horizontally and tangentially through an inlet into a vertical cylinder, resulting in an intense swirling motion within the cyclone. ...
Context 2
... inlets in Figure-8 on the other hand illustrates a downward swirling effect due to high velocity for the same mass flow rate which causing more light particles are leaving through underflow outlet. As for Quad inlets in Figure-10, the mixture flow is disrupted at short circular section, leading to emulsification phenomena where droplets breakdown happened. Since the conceptual development of this DOWS is to re-inject produced water into the aquifer, it is necessary to study its effect on separation process on pressure drop. ...
Context 3
... the conceptual development of this DOWS is to re-inject produced water into the aquifer, it is necessary to study its effect on separation process on pressure drop. Figure-11 shows for single, dual and quad inlets configuration model, the resultant pressure drop is proportionate to the total volume discharged downward. This can be explained by the fact that the pressure loss is a function of flow rate. ...
Context 4
... same volumetric flow rate, velocity across quad inlets is lesser compared to single inlet. This give lesser friction loss in quad inlets follow by dual inlets as per comparison illustrated in Figure-11. ...

Small-scale hybrid energy systems are often composed by different power production technologies and adopted in mini-grids. In this work, a Mixed Integer Linear Programming optimization algorithm has been developed to compute the optimal scheduling of a micro-grid constituted by Internal Combustion Generators (ICGs) and a Storage System that can be...
