Device liquid separation tank
Thread Content
After the safety valve of the unit activates, the gas that emerges needs to pass through a flare liquid separation tank. However, I would like to ask if anyone has any good design guidelines regarding the size of such a tank
Also. The unit is equipped with a liquid separation tank; the pipeline coming out of this tank is connected to the plant’s main discharge pipe. However, before the discharge pipe reaches the flare, there are additional liquid separation tanks and liquid seal devices as well. This results in two liquid separation tanks in total. What was the reasoning behind this design?
After the safety valve in a liquid separation tank activates, the media involved can vary; what is taken into account is the presence of liquid within the safety valve. The liquid separation before entering the flare is necessary first to prevent the medium from condensing back into a liquid state after traveling through long pipelines, and secondly to address the issue of discharging any residual liquid in the pipelines during shutdowns for maintenance
Also, the safety valve operates at a temperature of 110° and a pressure of 2.5 kilograms; once it activates, fluid is directed to the separation tank in the device. However, the operating temperature of this tank is 40°, while its designed temperature is 60°. How should this be understood? Seeking advice from experts

All that’s needed is to add a safety margin. Will condensation occur when the pressure decreases? Condensation absorbs heat, and thus the temperature naturally drops.
