Methods Used To Remove Oil From Gas in Separators
Liquid mist can be effectively removed from the gas stream in an oil and gas separator by a well-designed mist extractor. Condensable vapors in the gas cannot be removed by mist extractors. Condensation of these vapors, caused by reduction of temperature, may occur after the gas has been discharged from the separator. Technical Data used in the field explained in oil and gas courses in Islamabad.
Thus, existence of liquid in the effluent gas from an oil and gas separator in many instances may not necessarily reflect the efficiency of the separator. Because condensable vapors may have the characteristics of natural gas at separator temperature and pressure, condensation of these vapors may occur immediately after being discharged from the separator.
Density difference of liquid and gas may accomplish separation of liquid droplets from a gas stream where the velocity of the stream is slow enough and sufficient time is allowed to accomplish separation. Limiting the gas velocity in a separator may obtain satisfactory separation without a mist extractor. Some more details of oil and gas courses in Islamabad are as under.
However, mist extractors are generally installed in conventional oil and gas separators
to assist in separation and to minimize the amount of liquid (mist) carried out with the gas. The methods used to remove oil from gas in oil and gas separators are density difference (gravity separation), impingement, change of flow direction, change of flow
velocity, centrifugal force, coalescence, and filtering. Mist extractors used in oil and gas separators can be of many different designs using one or more of these methods.
