Introduction

Petroleum reaches the surface as a mixture consisting of gas and fluid substance. To achieve an adequate quality of petroleum, one needs to satisfy the process of a petroleum refinery, which requires deliberation in multiphase separation. A gas-liquid separator was designed to separate two different substances using a diverter inside the system. To acquire efficient separation, one needs to consider the effective diverter near the system's inlet. This consideration requires a perilous investigation, which numerical modeling would be utilized in achieving the low cost and minimum risk investigation upon the system.

Horizontal Separator Inner Geometry

In petroleum production, there are several types of separators. The separators are used based on the numbers of phases, crude oil properties, and separator conditions. These are vertical, horizontal, and spherical separators, which are widely used in production. Regarding the lowes cost expense in these separators, the horizontal separator has the lowest ones. This separator is considered as a gravity-based facility that was designed to provide sufficient time for droplets separation. The schematic flow direction of this system will be depicted below to ensure the simplicity of the system.

Objectives

1. Simulate CFD Analysis on Horizontal Separator using parameters based on the literature.

2. Investigate the most efficient separator within a certain distance from the inlet and various inlet velocities.

3. Verify the correct mesh using a grid-independent study to acquire the best simulation and minimum error result.

4. Validate the simulation based on the previous researches to obtain the deviation between measures.
