I'm studying offshore production process, such as FPSO, fixed platform.
As i know of, oil separation process is consist of 3 stages of separators
And usually 3-phase separator is used at the first stage so that they can separate bulk water at the early stage.
But some project uses 2-phase separator at the first stage which means they don't separate water at the first stage.
What is the design crieteria? or decision procedure to choose 3-phase or 2-phase?
Is anyone who can explain me how to choose separator type, 2-phase or 3-phase separator at each stage in oil separation proess?
