Ok, Schlumberger program only simulate the two phase and determine the type of flow,liquid holdup,slug volume,slug length and slug frequency but not determine Slug catcher size or design, i ask if there is program can help in slug catcher desgin or how can i use the output of pipesim to design...
Dear GregLamberson ,
I'm sorry but was tired searching on the site and internet for slug catcher design procedure and filled do found any specific procedure for sizing slug catcher,
i hope that you can help me in that
thanks hyposmurf & BigInch for yours repaly
the slug i mean as BigInch is a type of two phase flow
but BigInch i don't think that (1/1000 slug length ) have the meaning that you say
i think it will be useful to learn pipesim plus Hysys
also it will be very useful to read this book
Surface Production Operations Volume 1 & 2

I do search on site (http://eng-tips.com)for slug catchers desgine and also search all internet web but i can not get acquired answer on how to desgine slug catcher.
if there is book or web site or procedure which i can use as guide in this subject i will be thankful.
also depend on the...
Very thanks for quick replay
Are that mean that slug catcher size = 392 bbl = 62 m3
Or we use 392 bbl slug in others equations to calculate slug catcher size
thank you again
...in case of the liq flow rate = 3900 bbl/day and big time = 3 hr
And if I apply the above method then the slug catcher size would be = 450-(3900*3/24) = ???
But I think pipesim program consider
liquid swept in front of a pig ("liquid by sphere") = slug catcher size
and I hope if you...
thanks, but may i couldn't display my question, the question is in pipeline size there is Nominal Pipe Size or National Pipe Size which i choose the pipe dimension from it , is the same thing in slug catcher
I used PIPESIM to determine the volume of slug in pipeline but i want to know if there is standard size for slug catcher like standard size for pipeline or we use the volume of the slug as the size for slug catcher
can i use pipesim or hysys in slug catcher design (determine size of slug catcher),
or is there other program which can i use in determine slug catcher size
