Introduction:
The oil manifold is a distribution system that routes separated oil from the surge tank to various locations, such as storage tanks, burners, or transfer pumps.

Functions of Oil Manifold:
Directs oil flow to different exits.
Allows for flow switching between lines.
Controls the distribution of generated oil
Ensures smooth transition to storage or disposal.

Operational Process of Oil Manifold (How It Works):

-Oil from the separator oil outlet enters the oil manifold.
Inside the manifold:
-The flow is distributed through a network of valves and pipelines
Operators select the desired flow path by:
-Opening specific valves
-Closing others
Depending on operation, oil can be directed to:
-Gauge tank (for measurement)
-Surge tank
-Burner (for disposal)
The manifold ensures:
-No mixing of flow paths
-Controlled distribution without pressure loss

Key Operational Insight:
The oil manifold acts like a traffic control system, ensuring oil flows exactly where needed without confusion or contamination.
