From Hydrocyclone to CFU: How Offshore Platforms Strip Oil Out of Produced Water

2026-10-26

Offshore platforms treat oily produced water under tight space, weight and discharge limits, so every stage has to earn its footprint. This article walks through a typical three-stage train — inclined-plate separation, hydrocyclone and walnut shell filter
