Designing of FPSO crude oil process

[flegreo]

Hi to everybody,
i'm a naval architect and i have no experience about petroleum production engineering.
I would like to know what are the guidelines which i need to designing a process plant to cover 120.000 Brls pr. day. (90 % water cut). This plant is to be fitted on a FPSO vessel.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Hello,

I have a project where the 4 PSV from the discharge of 4 centrifugal pumps are connected in one header and routed in the same tank also for the discharge header.

According with API 520, 521(I didn't find the exactly explination) The PSV's must to be connected in the suction of pumps. But on the suction lines I have 4 filters installed.
The set pressure of Psv is 17 bars the discharge operating pressure is 12 bars. fluid Heavy oil
The question is where is better to reroute this PSV's in the suction line- after or before filters or directly to the source tank???

thank you in advance
