Assembly for removal of water from oil

An assembly operable to facilitate a removal of water from an oil of an oil supply, wherein the assembly comprises:

• a housing defining an inner space, wherein the housing comprises an oil inlet, and the housing is configured to enable an oil to flow from an oil supply through an oil inlet tube to the oil inlet of the housing;
• an inlet pump fluidly coupled to the oil inlet tube so as to enable a first flow of the oil from the oil supply to the oil inlet according to a first pumping flow rate, wherein:
• the housing is configured to receive a flow of a gas through a gas inlet tube and into the inner space of the housing;
• and
• the housing is configured so that, after a surface level of the oil rises at least to a position of an oil outlet of the housing, the oil and a foam formed on a surface of the oil are released to the oil outlet and flow to an oil outlet tube that is fluidly connected to the oil supply;
• and
• an outlet pump fluidly coupled to the oil outlet tube so as to enable a second flow of the oil from the oil outlet to the oil supply according to a second pumping flow rate, wherein the second pumping flow rate is greater than the first pumping flow rate,
• wherein the housing is configured to output a portion of the gas from the inner space of the housing through a gas outlet tube, thereby removing water from the oil.

An assembly usable to facilitate a separation and removal of water from an oil of an oil supply, wherein the assembly comprises:

• a housing defining an inner space, an oil inlet, and an oil outlet, wherein the oil inlet of the housing is configured to receive an oil provided by an oil supply;
• an inlet pump fluidly coupled to the housing, wherein the inlet pump is configured to pump a first flow of the oil from the oil supply to the oil inlet according to a first pumping flow rate, wherein:
• the housing is configured to receive a flow of a gas into the inner space of the housing;
• and
• the housing is configured so that, after a surface level of the oil rises at least to a position of the oil outlet of the housing, the oil and a foam formed on a surface of the oil are released to the oil outlet;
• and
• an outlet pump fluidly coupled to the housing, wherein the outlet pump is configured to pump a second flow of the oil from the oil outlet of the housing to the oil supply according to a second pumping flow rate, wherein the second pumping flow rate is greater than the first pumping flow rate,
• wherein the housing is configured to output a portion of the gas from the inner space of the housing through the oil outlet, thereby removing water from the oil.
