Dear,

 

I have to know the liquid flow that a drum vapor-liquid separator supports. By the equations that build a drum separator and the internal diameter (ID), I could find the max gas flow, but I have to know the liquid flow, and I didn't find anything that make some relation. If you could help me, I will be very thankful.

 

regards,

 

Daniel

There is no limit as far as vapor-liquid separation. We normally provide sufficient liquid volume to degas and provide surge capacity for control purposes. It might help to get you some suggestions if you provide more information.
