Abstract
Summary An existing mechanistic model for prediction of the hydrodynamic flow behavior in a gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC) separator has been enhanced. The main enhancement incorporated is a flow pattern dependent nozzle analysis of the cylindrical cyclone inlet for prediction of the gas and liquid tangential velocities at the GLCC entrance. Four typical field GLCC systems were designed for actual industrial applications using the proposed model. These include multiphase metering loop with both single-phase and multiphase flow meters, and pre-separation and full separation configurations. The field applications demonstrate the cylindrical cyclone capabilities and its potential impact on the petroleum industry.
