English translation:FWKO - Free Water Knock Out
Explanation:
"..Установки предварительного сброса воды УПСВ предназначены для дегазации нефти, отбора и очистки попутного газа, сброса пластовой воды под избыточным давлением.
УПСВ выполнены на базе отработанной конструкции нефтегазовых сепараторов со сбросом воды НГСВ. Установки представляют собой горизонтальные аппараты, снабженные технологическими штуцерами и штуцерами для КИПиА. Внутри аппарата расположены: устройство ввода, успокоительная перегородка, секция коалесценции, струнный каплеотбойник для очистки газа и секция сбора нефти.
Для улучшения разделения нефтегазовый смеси на входе УПСВ устанавливается депульсатор, обеспечивающий отвод, основного количества выделившегося газа минуя аппарат, а также послойный ввод водонефтяной эмульсии и сбросной воды раздельными потоками в соответствии с их плотностью в среднюю и нижнюю отстойные зоны аппарата..."

"..The oil dehydration system is the source of water consideredfor re-use applications; Fig. 2 shows an example typical foronshore operations. After degassing the produced oil/watermixture is pumped to a production station where primaryoil/water separation takes place. As a first step, the mixtureis treated in a Free Water Knock Out Tank (FWKO). The oil stream is transferred to a Concentric Wash Tank (CWT)where the remaining part of the water is separated. Bothwaters from the CWT and the FWKO are fed to a Corrugated Plate Interceptor (CPI). CPI effluent water,containing typically few hundred parts per million oil, issuitable for re-injection into deep disposal wells..."

"free-water knockout: A vertical or horizontal separator used mainly to remove any free water that can cause problems such as corrosion and formation of hydrates or tight emulsions, which are difficult to break.
A free-water knockout is commonly called a three-phase separator because it can separate gas, oil and free water. The liquids that are discharged from the free-water knockout are further treated in vessels called treaters. Free-water knockout is abbreviated as FWKO."

"free-water knockout (FWKO) a vertical or horizontal vessel into which oil or emulsion is run to allow any water not emulsified with the oil (free water) to drop out."

"..Raw production, from the wellhead, comes typically in the form of a mixture of free water, oil/water emulsion, oil and solids. This combination is also referred to as BS&W (basil sediment and water) and oil. The raw production from the wellhead is then piped to gathering points, known as satellites. From there it is piped to the production facility or battery.
This raw production then enters the Free Water Knockout Vessel (FWKO) where the free water and loose solids are separated from the remaining oil/oil-water emulsion and stored in the produced water tanks. The remaining oil/oil-water emulsion then proceeds to the treater vessels where a combination of heat and chemicals (emulsion breakers) are used to break the emulsion and produce clean oil and produced water and solids..."

neutral  Tsogt Gombosuren: FWKO is only a part of "primary oil/water separation system". Please see your reference text. QUOTE: After degassing the produced oil/watermixture is pumped to a production station where primaryoil/water separation takes place.

  -> Thank you for your comment, Tsogt. Yes, it's a part of production equipment, which usually consists of a separator, a heater treater, storage tanks, circulating pump, and a facility for the storage or disposal of water that is produced with the oil.

agree  Marina Nevzorova: Thank you!
