Dears,
My query here is regarding Process design of two phase and three phase separators in presence Internals (i.e. Schoepentoeter / Cyclones / Demisters / Sand Jetting headers, Plate Pack Coalescers).
I am using API, GPSA and DEP guidelines and other literature available with me to perform the task.
I am creating my simple excel based spread sheets. The key parameter generally asked while sizing the Internals is estimation of Carry overs and % Separation efficiency. For which, I feel, there may be an ‘Empirical Equations’ or ‘Graphs’ available in the literature which I am struggling to find.
To give you an example, please find attached excel sheet for ‘MIST PAD’ calculation prepared where I am need help to find % efficiency for 10-micron particle diameter and Carryover (generally less than 0.1 gal / MMscf).
I have supplier’s catalogue which do provide me details (mesh density, wire diameter, surface area) of Demisters. Just in case they are required for efficiency estimation.
Similar issues are observed during sizing of Plate Packs (Liquid-Liquid Coalescers).
Please suggest.
Thank you.
