The weir plate can be either an overflow weir which allows the oil to spill over the top of the plate or a bucket and weir which collects the oil in a separate compartment The following table summarizes some of the features and benefits of

This document provides sizing calculations for a three phase horizontal separator It includes input data on flow rates densities viscosities and particle sizes Calculations are shown for determining liquid levels separation compartment dimensions rise and settling times for light and heavy phases hold up times and vessel length to diameter
The HERO Flare 3 Phase standard separators utilize cost efficient oil weir designs with the wide operating envelope interface level control approach Double bucket designs with independent level controls are also available for those cases where liquid specific gravity is expected to change significantly or the oil flow rate is low or unknown

In Part 1 of this series the author noted that historically the sizing of three phase separators in particular for oil/water separation has been based on the specification of residence time criteria which is an imprecise method as residence time alone fails to capture many of the parameters/variables that clearly should have an impact on liquid/liquid phase
The height of the oil and water weirs controls the thickness of the oil pad in a three phase horizontal separator The water weir must be low enough below the oil weir to allow sufficient retention time for the oil pad The required difference in height between the weirs can be calculated using an equation that considers the densities of oil and water and the desired oil
Cimarron offers two core designs for horizontal separators a weir bucket design allowing the oil and water to be segregated into different compartments for removal; and an interfacing or spillover design which can handle higher liquid flows by utilizing the entire vessel area for separation Our separators include inlet deflectors
Optimized Maintenance With ShovelMetrics tooth wear monitoring maintenance schedules for ESCO® buckets can be optimized reducing downtime and extending the life of the buckets Increased Productivity The payload monitoring feature of ShovelMetrics ensures that each load is optimized maximizing the efficiency of ESCO® buckets
The second separator PilotSep B is equipped with an inlet diverter mist extractor and a bucket and weir configuration with a length to diameter ratio of 2 For Pilot Sep B the effect of oil flowrate water flowrate and weir height were determined on the separation efficiency

This separator calculation software is designed for the three phase separator with a bucket and weir This app is used to determine different parameters of three phase assembly accurately These parameters include inlet and outlet sizing residence time hold up
Three Phase Separators Introduction • Three phase separators are used to separate gas and two liquids of different densities typically oil and water • They are a combination of Liquid
The third method uses two weirs which eliminates the need for an interface float Interface level is controlled by the height of the external water weir relative to the oil weir or outlet height This is similar to the bucket and weir design of horizontal separators The advantage of this system is that it eliminates the interface level control
The optimum design of three phase separators can pose a significant challenge to petroleum industries In this study the design of an industrial three phase boot separator was optimized For this aim the response surface methodology RSM was coupled with computational fluid dynamics CFD method Inlet diverter angle baffle place and the

Oilfield separator data ranging from light oil conditions to heavy oil conditions were incorporated into suitable two phase and three phase computational fluid dynamics weir and bucket & weir developed for Gullfaks A Fig 8 The grid systems for all separators were generated in Gambit and modified in Fluent [16 17] The
The height of the oil and water weirs controls the thickness of the oil pad in a three phase horizontal separator The water weir must be low enough below the oil weir to allow sufficient retention time for the oil pad The required difference in height between the weirs can be calculated using an equation that considers the densities of oil and water and the desired oil
• The differences is mainly in the method of controlling the levels of the oil and water phases • Basic horizontal separator uses float no baffles or weirs • Horizontal three phase separator with boot/water pot type • Horizontal three phase separator completed with weir • Horizontal three phase separator bucket and weir type
The third method uses two weirs which eliminates the need for an interface float Interface level is controlled by the height of the external water weir relative to the oil weir or outlet height This is similar to the bucket and weir design of horizontal separators The advantage of this system is that it eliminates the interface level control
