Computer program enhances guidelines for gas-liquid separator designs

Designers are often required to size separators or knockout drums for removing liquids from process gas streams. A FORTRAN computer program called 'Vessel' has been developed to size both horizontal and vertical separators for known fluids' rates and physical properties. Following a r...

Description
Summary:Designers are often required to size separators or knockout drums for removing liquids from process gas streams. A FORTRAN computer program called 'Vessel' has been developed to size both horizontal and vertical separators for known fluids' rates and physical properties. Following a review of the design of both horizontal and vertical separators of both knockout drum and demister separator type, the separator sizing programs are presented.
