A gas-oil separation plant (GOSP) system includes a crude inlet line for a fluid inlet stream. An inlet pressure control valve is coupled within the crude inlet line to control a pressure of the fluid inlet stream passing therethrough. A separation vessel is provided downstream of the inlet pressure control valve and is operable to separate a water component from the inlet fluid stream. The GOSP system further includes a water line coupled to the separation vessel and a water draw-off pump including a shaft operably rotatable to draw the water component through the water line from the separation vessel. A turbine is coupled upstream of the inlet pressure control valve and includes a turbine shaft rotatable in response to the inlet fluid stream flowing therethrough. The turbine shaft is operably coupled to the pump shaft such that the pump shaft rotates in response to rotation of the turbine shaft.
A gas-oil separation plant (GOSP) system, comprising:
A method for operating a GOSP system, the method comprising:
The method of claim 14, further comprising closing a safety valve in the water line downstream of the water draw-off pump in response closing the second level control valve.
