hello, 

 

i am working on one project which is related to oil and gas industry. we have gas condititioning unit and controlling the dew point. we have long-term issue with 3-phase separator which is stabilizer feed drum. The inlets to this feed drum:

1) condensate from LTS which is warmed in propane subcooler. 

 

Outlets are stab. gas to compression, glycol to regeneration system, and condensate to stabilizer tower (dist. column). So, i need to check performance of this feed drum, the thing is we are suspecting the liquid carryover in the system. How I need to do these calculations to check whether there is glycol carryover? I think there can be potential issues in 3-phase separator breaking down of internals- baffles/vortex breakers/mist eliminators. However, we cannot shutdown the system and inspect those. 

 

What is your recommendation to check the calculations of SFD? How can i increase efficiency of thisfeed drum? I want to carry out oil droplet sizing calcs, i dont have too much data now.

Your task is one I think you cannot win. The only knobs you have are temperature and throughput. Get stream compositions if you can. Inspect the unit when operation is too bad to live with. Review the GPSA Handbook for better understanding.

You can use software at my website to do some settling calculations. Are you using MEG? It might help get answers if you posted a vessel drawing showing dimensions and internals.
