What is the purpose of a phase separator?
(OP)
At our facility there is a liquid hydrocarbon stream (mainly heavy hydrocarbons) leaves a vessel at -22degrees celsius and a flowrate of 59 cubic metres/hr. It flows through a level valve which maintains the vessel level and into a heat exchanger. Downstream of the level valve there is a phase separator installed in the piping. What is its purpose and what are the advantages of using it?
