  "term": "Treater",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A vessel used in production facilities to separate oil, gas, and water from a produced well stream emulsion. It applies heat to lower the oil's viscosity, introduces chemicals to break down the emulsion, and provides a quiet settling period for the fluids to separate by gravity. Treaters are designed as either horizontal or vertical units and are a standard component of most surface production systems for dehydrating crude oil to meet sales specifications.",
