2 and 3 Phase Separator Configurations

Separators come in various configurations to handle different separation tasks and process requirements. This guide will help you understand the key features you can customize for optimal separation efficiency.

Separation Styles:

  • Phase/Separation: Select the number of phases your separator needs to handle: 2-phase (gas & liquid) or 3-phase (gas, oil & water).
  • Vessel Orientation: Choose between horizontal or vertical separators based on space constraints and process flow.
  • Class Rating: Select a pressure rating (150#, 300#, or 600#) that meets your application's pressure requirements.
  • Vessel Size: Specify the separator's desired outside diameter and seam-to-seam length.
  • Separation Style: There are three main internal configurations to enhance separation: Weir, Bucket & Weir, and Split Heads. Each offers advantages for specific separation challenges.
Different types of configurations for industrial pressure separator vessels for separating gas, oil, and water mixtures.

Additional Options:

  • Vessel Accessories: Enhance separation performance with accessories like Inlet Diverters, Baffles, Vortex Breakers, Boots, and more.
  • Vessel Coating: Protect your separator from corrosion with external, internal, or internal and external coatings.
  • Hydro of Vessel & Pipe: Ensure your separator meets ASME code pressure requirements.
  • Packaged Options: You can choose between a bare vessel and a packaged option that includes a basic pneumatic or electric trim package.

Instrumentation & Flow Measurement:

  • Gas Line Transmitter: Monitor gas pressure or temperature with a Rosemount transmitter or pressure/temperature combination.
  • Oil & Water Line Transmitters (For 2-Phase Separators): Monitor oil or water temperature with optional Rosemount transmitters. (Note: Not applicable for 3-phase separators)
  • Gas Metering: Select from orifice plates or meter tubes for gas flow measurement.
  • Coriolis Meter (Oil Metering): Opt for a Coriolis meter for accurate oil flow measurement.
  • Water Metering: Choose a Micro Motion meter for water flow measurement.

Skid Option:

  • Include a steel skid with a deck plate to provide a stable platform for your separator, simplifying installation.

Remember: This is a general overview. For specific sizing and selection guidance, consult with a separator expert.
