Description

Vertical Separator - Low Pressure, Pneumatic, 2-Phase

A vertical two-phase separator is used to separate gas and liquid, comprised of oil and water. These elements separate according to their different specific gravities. Gas will rise to the top of the vessel and the liquid emulsion to the bottom. The liquid will leave the vessel at the bottom through a dump valve. The gas leaves out of the top of the vessel and through a back pressure valve.
