TUTORIAL CHAPTER 4
1. Explain the theory behind the separator design.
2. Sizing a horizontal separator. Repeat the calculation with vertical separator.
Given: Gas flowrate = 11803 SCF/hr Specific gravity = 0.6 Oil flowrate = 13.25 m3/hr API = 400 Operating temperature = 15.6oC\ Operating pressure = 6900 kPa Retention time = 3 minutes
2. Sizing a vertical separator. Repeat the calculation with horizontal separator.
Given: Gas flow rate : 15 MMSCFD Gas specific gravity : 0.6 Liquid flow rate : 3000 bbl/day Liquid gravity : 35API Operating pressure : 985 psi Operating temperature : 60 F Retention time : 3 minutes Given that Z = 0.84 and g = 0.013 cP
3. Sizing a horizontal three-phase separator
Given: Qo = 33m3/hr, Qw = 19.8m3/hr, Qg = 5902sm3/hr, P = 690 kPa T = 32.20oC Oil = 30oAPI (SG)w = 1.07 Sg = 0.6 (tr)o = (tr)w = 10 min o = 10 cp w = 1 cp g = 49 kg/m3 l = 866 kg/m3 CD = 2.01
