Horizontal Separators
Horizontal separators are ideally suited to wellstreams having high gas-oil ratios, constant flow,
and small liquid surge characteristics. Horizontal separators are smaller and less expensive than
vertical separators for a given gas capacity. Liquid particles in the wellstream travel horizontally
and downward at the same time as a result of two forces acting upon them-the horizontal force of
the gas stream and the downward force of gravity. Therefore, higher gas velocities can be
permitted in horizontal separators and still obtain the same degree of separation as in vertical
separators. Also, the horizontal separators have a much greater gas-liquid interface area than
other types which aids in the release of solution gas and reduction of foam. A special de-foaming
section is used when severe foaming of the inlet stream is anticipated. The horizontal
configuration is best suited for liquid-liquid-gas, or three phase, separations because of the large
interfacial area available between the two liquid phases. In addition to being easier to hook-up,
easier to service, and easier to skid-mount, horizontal separators can be stacked in piggy-back
fashion to form stage separation assemblies and minimize horizontal space requirements.
Applications
1. Areas where there are vertical height limitations.
2. Foamy production where the larger liquid surface area available will allow
greater gas break-out and foam breakdown.
3. Three phase separation applications for efficient liquid-liquid separation.
4. Upstream of process equipment which will not tolerate entrained liquid
droplets in the gas.
5. Downstream of equipment causing liquid formation.
6. Wellstreams having a high gas to oil ratio and constant flow with little or no
liquid surges.
7. Applications requiring bucket and weir construction for three phase operation.
