Separation:
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:
DarbyTech's  3 Phase Separator is a large process trainer design for education and research application associated with the separation of oil, water and gas from a simulated crude oil stream.
