Separation Efficiency Estimation of Oil and Gas Separator
Case Study Highlights Client Profile: Offshore Equipment Manufacturer, India Objective: To estimate the separation efficiency of the oil and gas separator
The separating efficiency of oil and gas separators is dependent on factors such as physical and chemical characteristics of the crude, operating pressure and temperature, rate of throughput and the separator configurations. A leading offshore equipment manufacturer needed simulation solution for the oil and gas separator designed to provide the separation efficiency of 99 percent.
The Solution Challenges: = Developing simulation model with accurate
physics to capture useful results = Ensuring the volume fraction of gas and liquid
to be as per the real conditions Solution: The separator design was analyzed through CFD to estimate the separation efficiency. The results obtained were close to the claimed efficiency of 99 percent. Software Used : ANSYS Fluent 15
The separator aimed to provide 99 percent of separation efficiency was modeled through CAD tools and the simulation domain was identified. Considering the volume fraction method, suitable turbulence models and boundary conditions were applied. Volume fraction at liquid outlet and gas outlet were measured and were found close to one, suggesting that the separator design was adequate to provide the separation efficiency above 99 percent.This solution can also be provided using OpenFOAM, STAR CCM+, Abaqus CFD, COMSOL Multiphysics.
Benefits = Provided a comparative simulation solution to
valid the claimed efficiency = Reduced number of physical test trials required
