yes atmospheric pressure is 1 kg/cm2 and separator is under vacuum, liquid level seal is maintain in bottom wash tank to prevent vacuum break.
in view of separator capacity if i fixed flow rate to 200 m3/hr.than what is way forward?
Littleinch did you asked about separator pressure. it's 0.25 kg/cm2 vacuum pressure and through barometric leg flow is maintained from separator to wash tank. hope so i have answered your question.
@LittleInch
i am confused how to size over flow line of atmospheric tank while line coming into it has static head of 15 m on what basis would i size my over flow line.
bimr here is the attachment in PDF format.

Yes Bimr it's a 14 m head on 6 inch pipe and it is emergency over flow of the tank.i have attached sketch of process flow, hope so it will clear the picture of whole scenario.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3437d953-782a-4bff-bc11-8214560e8da1&file=over_flow_line.vsd
Hi!!
i am trying to size an over flow line of atmospheric tank Although i know general rules of thumb for sizing over flow line one inch size greater/equal to inlet flow line but in my case the inlet line has gravity flow of total height 14 m and 6 inch dia,though gravity lines has greater...
