Turndown ratio of separator vessels
Turndown ratio of separator vessels
(OP)
Am I correct to suppose that the turndown ratio (capacity utilization) of
1. A two phase separator vessel
2. An three phase separator vessel
is from 0-100%?
In other words, they can operate at minimum capacity from 0 to 100% with no technical issues.
This is about the vessel, I know that the control valves would need to be capable of handling 0-100% of the flow.
Thank you in advance.

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
The plural of anecdote is not "data"

Thank you, that is a good point.
