Hi,
I'm looking for informations about sizing of interstage separators in gas compression unit. Is it correct to assume typical recommendations for separators in this unit also? I think about: vapor-liquid diameter, light liquid holdup time, light liquid surge time, etc.).
Anyone can help?

There are no standards for liquid holdup. You will find a great variation. But sizing for vapor-liquid separation is based on physics of droplet settling or entrainment eliminator device. If you are looking at a vertical separator, you will find sizing programs at my site. But you must supply the value for liquid holdup. You can reach my site by Googling my name.
