:Example
Size a Horizontal separator with a mist eliminator
pad to separate the following mixture .
The operating pressure is 975 psig and the holdup

and surge are to be 10 min and 5 min respectively.
Use a design temperature of 650°F .
Design Procedure: :Example

7)
7. HLLL = 0.5×5+7
= 9.5 in.
8)
x = HLLL/D =0.158
From Eq. → y = 0.102 → ALLL/AT = 0.102
→ ALLL =0.102×19.63 = 2 ft2.

:Design Pressure & Design Temperature
Reference: RULES OF THUMB: SUMMARY , Walas Click to see contents:
1. Design temperature between -20°F and 650°F is 50°F above opera ng temperature; higher safety
margins are used outside the given temperature range.
If -20 oF <OT < 650 oF → DT=OT + 50 oF
2. The design pressure is 10% or 10-25 psi over the maximum opera ng pressure, whichever is greater.
The maximum opera ng pressure, in turn, is taken as 25 psi above the normal opera on.
MOP= NOP+25 psi DP=max.{1.1×MOP , MOP+10~25 psi}
3. Design pressures of vessels opera ng at 0-10 psig and 600-1000°F are 40 psig.
Calcula on of thickness of Head & Shell

P, design pressure, psig
Typically,
opera ng pressure+(15-30) psi or 10-15%, whichever
greater.
T, design temperature , oF
Typically,
if Top > 200°F, DT=opera ng temperature +25-50°F.
If Top < 200°F, DT=250°F
• under 650°Fdoesnot reduce wall thickness

• if overpressure caused by boiling, should be TBP .
Allowable Stress of Alloy

Evaluate Design Temperature for the selected alloy
and then read S from the Table.

Tips:
According to Walas Rules of Thumbs DT = 650 oF
for Pressure Vessels NOP=975 psig
→ MOP=975+25=1000 psig
Corrosion allowance:
0.35 in. for known corrosive conditions, → DP=max{1000+25, 1.1×1000}=1100 psig
0.15 in. for non-corrosive streams, and
0.06 in. for steam drums and air receivers. Alloy: SA 516 70 Carbon Steel
→ From Table: 17.5 → S= 17500 psi
Let C.A. tC= 1/16 = 0.06 in. & Joint Efficiency (E) = 0.85
Head Type:
D < 15 ft. & P > 100 psig → 2:1 Elliptical
