A properly ‘designed separator will also provide for the release of entrained gases from the accumulated hhydrocarton liquids A wll stream separator must perform the followin: a @ @ @ ‘Cause a primary.phase separation of the mostly liquid hydrocarbons from those that are mostly gas, Refine the primary separation by removing most of the entrained liquid mist from the os. Further rofine the separation by removing the entrained ges from the accumulated liquid Discharge the separated gas and liguld feom the vessel and insure that no reentrainment cof one into the other takes ple, I these funetions are to be accomplished, the separator design must — ow @ @ @ 8) 6 ” @ ® Control and disipate the energy ofthe wellstream as it enters separator; Insure that the gas and liquid flow rates are low enough so that gravity segregstion and vapor liquid equilibrium can occur; ‘Minimize turbulenes inthe gat section ofthe separator and reduce velocity; Eliminate re-entrainment ofthe separates liquid into the gos; ‘Accurnulete and control froths and foams Inthe vest Provide outlets for gsses and liquids with suitable controls to msintain preset operating pressure and liquid evel; Provide reliot tor excessive pressure in cate the gab oF liquid outlets should become plugged or valves malfunction; Provide equipment (pressure gauges, thermometers, and liqucevel gauge assemblies) to Visually check the separator for proper operation; Provide cleanout opening at points where solids will acumlate when solids ere present in the inlet stream,
