DOS BOCAS MARITIME TERMINAL


Pemex has implemented a technological improvement, with the incorporation of a dehydration and desalting system of Maya oil in Dos Bocas Maritime Terminal by means of storage tanks of 500 TB converted into Gun Barrel. This project was developed in Dos Bocas Maritime Terminal located in Ranchera El Limn S/N Paraso, Tabasco, Mxico.

IS POSSIBLE D&D HEAVY CRUDE OIL IN A GUN BARREL?


In the Gun-Barrel tanks, the associated water in the oil enters in contact with the interface, in order to the water drops have coalescence and fall them out, the outputs of dehydrated oil are on the top and the water is drained in the bottom.

By mean ANSYS-CFD simulation it was determined that the Gun-Barrel tank whit 500 TB capacity operates with flows of 450-750 TBD of oil, this is possible reaching quality with values inside the contractual requirements of 0.5% vol. of water and 50 PTB of salt maximum.

GOALS

Unique system D&D on line for 600 TBD heavy oil. Permanence in the global market offering quality oil. Construction record time. $350 Millions USD by year Penalties off.

CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS

The project expectations were complete covered by the good design distributor with ANSYS-CFD. The prediction by ANSYS simulation between the real behavior is also the same because the desviation was 1%. The great real results about this system have broken paradigms, so much that Pemex is now constructing an additional system.
