  2. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

    Oil and gas separators can have three general configurations: vertical, horizontal, and spherical.Vertical separators can vary in size from 10 or 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet seam to seam (S to S) up to 10 or 12 feet in diameter and 15 to 25 feet S to S. Horizontal separators may vary in size from 10 or 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet S to S up to 15 to 16 feet in diameter and ...

  3. Vapor–liquid separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid_separator

    Vertical separators are generally used when the gas-liquid ratio is high or gas volumes are high. Horizontal separators are used where large volumes of liquid are involved. [5] A vapor-liquid separator may operate as a 3-phase separator, with two immiscible liquid phases of different densities. For example natural gas (vapor), water and oil ...

  4. Souders–Brown equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souders–Brown_equation

    The following sizing methodology is based on the assumption that those flow rates are known. Use a vertical pressure vessel with a length–diameter ratio of about 3 to 4, and size the vessel to provide about 5 minutes of liquid inventory between the normal liquid level and the bottom of the vessel (with the normal liquid level being somewhat ...

  5. Elutriation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elutriation

    Elutriation is a process for separating particles based on their size, shape and density, using a stream of gas or liquid flowing in a direction usually opposite to the direction of sedimentation. This method is mainly used for particles smaller than 1 μm.

  6. Peeler centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peeler_centrifuge

    The first horizontal peeler centrifuge was manufactured by Buffaud et Robatel (Lyon, FRANCE) in 1905 for synthetic ammonia production at plants in Europe, Russia, Japan, and the USA. [2] [4] The horizontal peeler centrifuge has a general structure (refer to section 1.1) with horizontal rotating basket, which sits inside of external casing. The ...

  7. Hydrocyclone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocyclone

    Sand separation and classification Hydrocyclones used for sand separation and classification and as a separator of sand from water or sludge [1] Oil-water separation: Separation of oil and water in, among other things, the offshore industry; Dewatering: Concentration of slurry and dewater sludge for disposal [2] [3]

  8. Decanter centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decanter_Centrifuge

    The feed product is pumped into the decanter centrifuge through the inlet. Feed goes into a horizontal bowl, which rotates. The bowl is composed of a cylindrical part and a conical part. The separation takes place in the cylindrical part of the bowl. The fast rotation generates centrifugal forces up to 4000 x g. Under these forces, the solid ...

  9. Trommel screen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trommel_screen

    Finer particle sizes (>40 μm) are able to be separated with the gyratory separator than with a trommel screen. [10] The size of the gyratory screen separator can be adjusted through removable trays, whereas the trommel screen is usually fixed. [17] Gyratory separators can also separate dry and wet materials like trommel screens.
