Hi All,

 

I have to model an existing Slug catcher in Hysys and then monitor its performance using varing flow rates of Gas and liquid.

I am new to hysys, will appreciate any help.

 

Thanks and regards,

usually one sizes a slug catcher for a sufficient buffer volume to allow the largest slug,
there are standards discussing these aspects (buffer volume vs. flow),

if it's for a project check the documents,
what you need is to evaluate liquid flow vs. time and apply some simple correlation,
if it's a pipeline possibly you have to evaluate critical conditions solving multiphase equilibria, 

I have a page in Excel to do these calc's,
for simulation I utilize Prode Properties,
if the simulator doesn't include some ready to use module you may do the same,
perhaps it is only a matter to read the operating manual...

there are detailed discussions about vapor/liquid and liquid/liquid separation in many

books, for example GPSA, for a short introduction see
