The 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. Separated gas passes through a secondary vertical 2-phaseseparator, or knock-out pot to remove any further liquids from the gas stream. The separator is equipped with industry-typical process instrumentation. Our Trainer: The 3 Phase Separator “mini plant” is an industrial scale process plant based around the separation of oil, water and gas from a simulated crude oil stream. The separation process is controlled from a central DCS or PLC control system that can be configured with local control and/or remote control (e.g. from a control room).Typically, we can provide Rockwell CompactLogix PLC with an operator interface, which is implemented on a Rockwell Panel View HMI with FactoryTalk SCADA utilising Rockwell’s plant PAX DCS technology.
