Separation Process:
The primary separation operation for crude oil occurs when the crude stream flows through a vessel of sufficient capacity to allow gravitational separation of the gas, liquid hydrocarbon, and water phases. This process trainer blends air, water, and refined oil to emulate a crude oil stream. This fluid mixture then flows into a horizontal separator vessel fabricated of clear PVC so that the trainees can observe the separation process. Separated gas passes through a secondary vertical 2-phase separator, or knock-out pot, to remove any entrained liquids from the gas stream. The separator is equipped with industry-typical process instrumentation. Our Trainer: The Three Phase Separator Demonstration apparatus is a small-scale vessel that performs continuous separation of a mixture of oil, air, and water. It is available in horizontal and vertical orientations. The primary separation operation for crude oil occurs when the crude stream flows through a vessel of sufficient capacity to allow gravity separation of the gas, liquid hydrocarbon, and water phases. This trainer includes a clear horizontal primary separator vessel. The process has manual control valves with rotameters and is intended to demonstrate oilfield separation principles with basic visual/manual operation. Equipment Specification and Process Highlights:
