Development of Vertical Three-Phase Separators of Gas–Liquid–Sludge Mixtures for Oil and Gas Plants

The expediency of use of vertical three-phase separators (VTS) of gas–liquid–sludge mixtures with periodic withdrawal of sludge, in which the liquid and gas are purified in an oil and gas separation–gas processing chain, is substantiated.

Description
Summary:The expediency of use of vertical three-phase separators (VTS) of gas–liquid–sludge mixtures with periodic withdrawal of sludge, in which the liquid and gas are purified in an oil and gas separation–gas processing chain, is substantiated. Based on investigations, planning, and designing of VTS, we propose 318 standard sizes in terms of type, diameter, and pressure. All parameters of the VTS are superior to those of horizontal oil and gas separators that are traditionally built in Russia.
