oil and gas separator pressure drop

oil and gas separator pressure drop

(OP)
hey friends!!
Which is the normal pressure drop in oil and gas separator designed by API 12 J???

RE: oil and gas separator pressure drop

Julio,
The pressure drop is selected/calculated by the process engineer, is not part of mechanical engineering! Also, the sizing is pert of process engineering followed by the mechanical design of the separator as a pressure vessel. You are asking the wrong forum...

RE: oil and gas separator pressure drop

Gr2vessel you mean its the wrong forum because its not code specified rather process (engineer) specified. API is not inherently Mechanical Engineering.  

RE: oil and gas separator pressure drop

Yep, something like that...

RE: oil and gas separator pressure drop

As I recall, API 12J is just a tank with minimal internals so pressure drop should be small <1 psi if the nozzles aren't undersized.  Add a demister and the drop goes up slighty.  Add a filter coalescer and you start to add real pressure drop.
