COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Separator Simulation and Internal Design. It covers the separation processes and the role of separators in the oil and gas industry; the principles of gas-liquid-solid separation; the applications of separators in upstream and downstream operations; the basic separator types and configurations; the separator components covering vessel shell, nozzles, internals, mist eliminators, demisters, liquid and gas outlets; the key performance parameters including separation efficiency, flow capacity and pressure drop, emulsion breaking considerations and operational constraints; and the physical properties affecting separation and separator simulation tools. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the design principles for separator internals, inlet devices, mist eliminators, weirs and baffles and liquid-liquid coalescers; the sizing calculations for separators; the phase behavior and its impact on design; preparing simulation workflow inputs, analyze pressure drop and flow distribution; the dynamic behavior of separators; and the multiphase flow dynamics and emulsion management in separators. 

  

During this interactive course, participants will learn the separator fouling and maintenance, heat integration and thermal effects and specialized separator configurations; troubleshooting common separator issues; the operational monitoring and control covering key performance indicators (KPIs) for separators, process control strategies and predictive maintenance; the safety and regulatory compliance; and the emerging trends in separator design.
