Oil Water Separator Design Calculation Xls

Below is a sample shot of the spreadsheet.

Oil water separator design calculation xls. 0 9860 density of the water s g g cm3 0 0052 viscosity in poise 1 2568 rise rate of oil droplet gpm ft2 calculated 159 13 horizontal surface area area ft2 of the separator needed to achieve desired oil removal performance 0 89 cross sectional velocity ft min. Oil rate as load for oil water separator 50 00 m 3 hr total oily water rate 204 35 m 3 hr design oily water rate for oil water separator 224 79 m 3 hr design margin 10 oil content 24 47 volume. Different design criteria must be used in sizing and selecting a separator for a hydrocarbon stream based on the composition of the fluid mixture. In the case of low pressure oil wells the liquid phase will be large in.

This calculation is based on the methods proposed. The spreadsheet operates on microsoft excel 2003 or later. The liquids from the gas phase is accomplished by passing the well stream through an oil gas or oil gas water separator.

Must be 3fpm note. Below is a link to an api oil water separator sizing spreadsheet developed by hydro flo technologies. The oil water separator to be used is the larger of those determined in 4 and 6.
