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-phase separator, 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 focused on separating 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 a Rockwell CompactLogix PLC with an operator interface, implemented on a Rockwell Panel View HMI with FactoryTalk SCADA, utilising Rockwell’s plant PAX DCS technology. |
