n: a section of a heater or a heater-treater that is filled with fibrous material through which oil and water emulsions are filtered.

n: a vessel that heats an emulsion and removes water and gas from the oil to raise it to a quality acceptable for a pipe- line or other means of transport. A heater- treater is a combination of a heater, free- water knockout, and oil and gas separator.
