The high-pressure separator does not perform well in separating water – could it be due to design issues? Please take a look!
Thread Content
My workshop is equipped with a lubricating oil hydrogenation refining unit and a transformer oil refining system, with a processing capacity of 22 T/H. High-pressure separator, φ1800×6800, tangential feeding; its location is 5200 mm above the tank bottom, the oil outlet is 1500 mm above the tank bottom. The upper end of the collector is 1700 mm above the tank bottom, while the lower end is 600 mm above the tank bottom; the water outlet is located at the tank bottom. It is initially suspected that it may be due to an insufficient residence time for oil-water separation, but I’m not sure how to calculate it; please help!
Is the jar mentioned by the poster vertical or one for use in the bedroom?
The \"Handbook of Chemical Engineering Machinery Design\" provides detailed calculation parameters and empirical data on separators, which can be used as a reference for analysis
It is related to both the properties of the medium and the operating conditions
A separator works by introducing an inert gas to reduce the partial pressure of the gaseous components; according to Henry’s law, the volatile components will become concentrated in the gas phase! But what does \"high pressure\" in the high-pressure separator refer to? Please advise!
