The people at Penn separator have always been helpful to me
They offer sized systems based on the boiler capacity, pressure and expected blowdown rate.
I had some ancient ASME papers, from the 1940's on this topic.....developed by a former Stone & Webster Vice president.....I had 'em......but I lost them
I am aware of no recent engineering textor article on this subject.

An internet source for flash tank sizing is:
One of the more important governing factors is the limiting of the upflow velocity of the steam vapor to prevent entrainment of moisture droplets.
There is a good discussion of this issue in another forum in this site, so you might try a search in Eng-tips.

Your internet link was quite helpful. The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel inspectors provides a document called "A Guide for Blowoff Vessels" where they identify a good target velocity for the steam vapor of 11 ft/sec to allow for proper seperation.
Im not having any luck locating the discussion you made reference to (I'm rather new on this website) and I was hoping you could point me more in the right direction. Thank again for your help.
