Practical Process Engineering

To calculate above factor, you need to know the maximum amount of gas flowrate. It would be the normal operation flowrate times a surging margin based on following chart

VOLUMETRIC GAS LOAD FACTOR

#Separator_sizing based on #Shell_DEP Here I give you a summary of liq./vap. sizing based on Shell design practice: Vertical separator VS. Horizontal separator: Vertical separator advantages: - Smaller footprint and vessel volume - Easier solid removal -Separation efficiency is insensitice to liquid level Horizontal separator is used if: -Large liq. slugs have to be handled -Space is limited for vertical vessel head -Low liquid velocity is required Sizing steps: 1- Choose the right separator for your application 2-Size it (Diameter, Length/Height and level controls, etc.) To select proper separator, follow this instruction: 1- Calculate VOLUMETRIC GAS LOAD FACTOR 2- Calculate FLOW PARAMETER 3-Calculate SEPARATION EFFICIENCY 4-Use comparison table to compare different kind of separator and choose the one fitting your applications and demands
