To size horizontal three phase separator, we need the following data: A certain amount of oil storage is necessary to ensure that the oil reaches equilibrium and flashed gas is liberated. HV6~dCR$l7@oI`l C@.V93|3{Xvq0\`nmA2pB1 =F40FJx0hik x ;hH+K7~ And, pay attention to the liquid velocity. We know that normal engineering practice state that minimum light for every level like from Liquid level high high (LLHH) to liquid level high (LLH) shuld be at least 6 inch. Table 7 shows liquid levels for different vessel diameters. I removed your email address. AH)%%$8N @/P For horizontal separators, the sizing depends on (in addition to the droplet size, density of gas and liquid phases, and gas velocity) separator effective length, Le, and the depth available for gas flow, hG, (i.e. The ratio of length to diameter is typically in the 3 to 5 range. vol". Typical mist extractor in a vertical separator [5], Table 4. AL)0_S Too high of a gas velocity will result in liquid re-entrainment from the liquid surface, which may flood the demister and cause carryover. AH)0@0S My present employer and all those that I have worked under in the past certainly would not accept that and I am sure no business investor would. It does only calculate the retention time for two compartment at different level. It is designed for 24 hours continuous and smooth operation throughout the day. 2. If the horizontal gas velocity profile is expected to be fairly uniform (would need more details to determine this) then (2) might not be a concern either. aL) |-S 10. Researchers in this field have highlighted the vast potential in developing micro devices for industrial and academia usages, including lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip systems. He has 40 years Equation 6 is called Souder-Brown equation and KS is referred to as the design parameter. Perrys Chemical Engineers Handbook, fifth edition, 5-66.

Fahim, "retention time usually range from 3 - 30min", " if lab data are not available, use a retention time of 10 min", attached an excerpt. An example illustrates the calculations needed to achieve the specified outlet fluid qualities. So, your sizing should focus on separating the two liquid phases. Horizontal Three-Phase Separator Sizing For sizing a horizontal three-phase separator it is necessary to specify a vessel diameter and a seam-to-seam vessel length. Fig. Mesh pads are the most common type of mist extractors used in vertical separator applications. DR. MAHMOOD MOSHFEGHIAN is a Senior Technical Advisor and Senior Instructor. Untitled3.jpg 63.04KB In the December 2014 tip of the month (TOTM) [1], we discussed troubleshooting of gas-liquid separators for removal of liquids from the gas stream leaving the separator. If you are going to use your time to discuss, comment, and make recommendations on a sketch without knowing what is behind the engineering logic and basis of fabricating such a useless vessel, that is fine with me. aH) A R Already a Member? Although a separator is highly instrumented, controlling flow, pressure, and temperature to achieve maximum production of water-free, pipeline quality natural gas is a difficult task. conventional separators, there are two approaches for sizing the gravity separation section to remove liquid droplets from the gas: If we consider a spherical liquid droplet with a diameter of DP in the gas phase two forces as shown in Figure 1 act on it. 84 downloads Also if you have access to API 12J.
