Potential Operating Problem

Sand Problems

Posted on September 2, 2009

Sand can be very troublesome in separators by causing cutout of valve trim, plugging of separator internals, and accumulation in the bottom of the separator.…

Two Phase Separator Theory

Two Phase Separator Re-entrainment

Posted on September 14, 2009

Re-entrainment is a phenomenon caused by high gas velocity at the gas-liquid interface of a separator. Momentum transfer from the gas to the liquid causes…

Separator Inlet Diverters

Posted on August 17, 2009October 28, 2012

There are many types of inlet diverters. Two main types are baffle plates (shown in Figure 4-6) and centrifugal diverters (shown in Figure 4-7). A…

Treater Vessels Sizing

Treater Separator Settling Equations

Posted on September 15, 2009October 30, 2012

The specific gravity difference between the dispersed water droplets and the oil should result in the water “sinking” to the bottom of the treatment vessel.…

Treater Vessels Sizing

Treaters Separator Design Procedure

Posted on September 15, 2009

In specifying the size of a treater, it is necessary to determine the  diameter (d), length or height of the coalescing section (Leff or h),…

Mechanical Design of Pressure Vessels

Separator Pressure Vessels Nozzles

Posted on September 24, 2009October 29, 2012

Nozzles should be sized according to pipe sizing criteria, such as those provided in API RP 14E. The outlet nozzle is generally the same size…

Mechanical Design of Pressure Vessels

Estimating Pressure Vessels Weights

Posted on September 23, 2009October 29, 2012

It is important to be able to estimate vessel weights, since most cost estimating procedures start with the weight of the vessel. The vessel weight,…

LTX Units and Line Heaters

LTX Coil Lengths Sizing

Posted on September 16, 2009October 28, 2012

With the known temperatures on each end of the coil, the heat duty for each coil can be calculated from the heat transfer theory. Since…

Three Phase Separator Sizing

Three Phase Vertical Separators Sizing

Posted on September 14, 2009October 30, 2012

As with vertical two-phase separators, a minimum diameter must be  maintained to assure adequate gas capacity. In addition, vertical threephase  separators must maintain a minimum…

Pressure Drop in Piping

Reynolds Number Piping

Posted on September 25, 2009October 28, 2012

The Reynolds number is a dimensionless parameter that relates the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. It can be expressed by the following general…
