What is a separation vessel? Give an example?
Containers primarily used for carrying out the separation of components in a medium under fluid pressure equilibrium, as well as for gas purification and separation. Examples include various filters, oil collectors, buffers, energy storage devices, washers, absorption towers, copper washing towers, drying towers, distillation towers, etc., which are all used for the separation of components in a medium or for the separation of gas and liquid phases.
In the chemical industry, it refers to containers primarily used for separating the components of a medium under fluid pressure equilibrium, as well as for purifying and separating gases. Devices such as various filters, oil collectors, buffers, energy storage tanks, washers, absorption towers, copper washing towers, drying towers, and distillation towers used in chemical production all fall under the category of vessels used for separating medium components or for separating gas and liquid phases.
In the chemical industry, a separation vessel refers to a container primarily used for separating the components of a fluid and for purifying gases under conditions of pressure equilibrium. Devices such as various filters, oil collectors, buffers, energy storage tanks, washers, absorption towers, copper washing towers, drying towers, and distillation towers used in chemical production all fall under the category of vessels used for separating medium components or for separating gas and liquid phases.

The ‘Code for Fixed Vessels’ provides a clear definition: A separation vessel (designated as S) is a type of pressure vessel primarily used for achieving fluid pressure balance and buffering, as well as for the purification and separation of gases; examples include various separators, filters, oil collectors, washers, absorption towers, copper washing towers, drying towers, stripping towers, steam separators, and deaerators；

Absorption towers, copper washing towers, drying towers, distillation towers, etc.,
When our company classifies pressure vessels, it uses such a simple classification system. All columns are essentially separation vessels, because isn’t the function of a column to separate gas and liquid components through distillation? The remaining storage tanks are all classified as storage containers! Then heat exchangers are all heat exchange vessels, and reactors are all reaction vessels!

Separation pressure vessel (S): A pressure vessel primarily used for achieving fluid pressure balance and buffering, as well as for gas purification and separation. Such as separators, filters, oil collectors, buffers, washers, absorption towers, copper washing towers, drying towers, stripping towers, steam distributors, deaerators, etc.
