Mini Plant Large Scale Three Phase Separator

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. Gas flow passes through a secondary vertical 2-phase separator, or knock-out ports to remove any further liquids from the gas stream. Mini Plant Large Scale Three Phase Separator 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. The entire trainer is controlled from a distributed control system (DCS). The separator is equipped with industry typical process instrumentation.
