SCOPE
1.1

General
This general specification covers the minimum technical requirements for the
design, manufacture, and testing of corrugated plate interceptors (CPI). For a
specific CPI this specification shall be used in conjunction with the project
specifications and data sheets for that CPI. Any exceptions to the requirements of
this specification shall be submitted in writing for resolution by the COMPANY.

1.2

Item Definition
The corrugated plate interceptor separates solids and oil from produced water prior
to disposal or further treatment. The corrugated plate interceptor includes the
tanks, plates, support structure, and instrumentation necessary for processing and
controlling the flow of treated water. The CPI shall be capable of processing a fluid
of the composition specified on the data sheets at the pressures, temperatures,
and capacities specified at site conditions as described in MEP-G-ES-001, General
Technical Conditions for Tender and Purchase of Equipment and Materials.

DESIGN AND FABRICATION

3.1

Process Design
3.1.1

The C.P.I. shall remove oil and suspended solids from effluent water
produced by oil and gas processing facilities. The unit shall include a tank
and packs of tilted corrugated plates inside the tank.

3.1.2

Oil in the water may be formed of fine emulsion. The produced water will
enter the C.P.I. unit from a produced water break drum (for degassing
process) by means of gravity flow. The flow may be turbulent with high
velocity.

3.1.3

In the C.P.I., the oily water velocity shall be reduced to permit the drops of
oil to separate and slowly rise to the surface. The C.P.I. shall be designed
such that oil droplets attach themselves to the underside of the plates in the
C.P.I. unit and rise by virtue of their lower specific gravity. The C.P.I. unit
shall include gutters which are designed to collect the oil droplets which
accumulate at the top of the plates. The gutters shall channel the
separated oil out of the water flow, eliminating any chance of reentrainment.

3.2

3.1.4

The velocity of the flow through the corrugated plates shall not exceed 2.5
ft/min. The Reynolds number shall not exceed 400.

3.1.5

Vendor shall guarantee that the C.P.I. unit will produce effluent of the
specified quality above process conditions and table 1, Corrugated Plate
Intercept Separator.

Mechanical Design
3.2.1

The corrugated plate interceptor (C.P.I.) unit shall be rectangular, skid

mounted and fabricated in accordance with API-650, Welded Steel Tanks
for Oil Storage.

3.2.2

The unit shall have inspection manholes installed at the tank side wall and
on top of the unit.

3.2.3

Nozzles of the unit shall include but not be limited to water inlet and outlet
nozzles, oil outlet, vent, sludge drain, cleaning nozzles for water jet, etc.

3.2.4

A device to change the turbulent flow to laminar shall be provided.

3.2.5

A manual adjustable flow device shall be provided.

3.2.6

A daniel level gauges with gauge cocks shall be provided.

3.2.7

All piping installation shall comply with MEP-P-ES-003, Fabricated Piping

and Inspection.

3.2.8

The unit shall be equipped with ladders and platforms, including railing, all
in accordance with MEP-S-ES-002, Structural Steel Construction.
Platforms shall be fabricated of galvanized, non-slip type gratings.

3.2.9

Painting and coating of the unit shall be in accordance with

MEP-G-ES-008, Surface Preparation, Painting and Galvanizing.

3.2.10

All internal wetted metal shall be epoxy coated and suitable for operation
up to the maximum working temperature specified on the data sheet. The
coating shall be applied to comply with MEP-G-ES-008, Surface
Preparation, Painting and Galvanizing.

3.2.11

The C.P.I. Separator shall be installed above ground, skid mounted on an

oil-field type skid to rest on a concrete pad.
