FWKO

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001598

A vessel used to separate free water from oil and gas streams through gravity, often as the initial stage of fluid processing. It allows water to settle to the bottom due to its higher density, preventing it from contaminating downstream equipment. This separation occurs without the need for heat or chemical injection.
