slug catcher simulation

[lorenzo67]

Hello everybody,
can someone help me in slug simulation with
pipesim or pipephase.

Thanks

What do you need? It's a bit difficult actually holding hands at this distance

I need a procedure for pipesim or pipephase simulation

Perhaps these two links will help you decide what you need.

I have simulated the my pipe line but I don't understand how use the results for sizing slug catcher.
Can somebody explain to me?

Thanks

OK... I'll bite.

Being from the Northwest, I have my own visualization of a slug catcher.

What is your technical understanding of the term?

Are there liquids in the stream, if so what is the liquid flowrate and the gas flowrate. What flow pattern do you have? Size the slug catcher to capture the largest amount of liquids coming in over the critical time period.

thanks all for the answers.
I hope that I'm designing my slug catcher correctly.

Leave tie-ins for another slug catcher.

Very good idea Big.
I think that I will do that

One of the better ideas I had today.

Seriously, if you run into something specific, come back. Its just difficult to approach this in a general all-inclusive manner, other than to give you ione's paper.
