Abstract

Peculiarities of separation processes in cyclone battery separators have been considered on liquid and solid disperse phases. The difference in efficiency between individual and battery liquid separators is slight .Concentration of disperse liquid phase in refined gases is 0.1–0.3 kg/kg. In operating on dry gases with abundance of dust the separation condition changes due to peculiarities of disperse phase behavior from solid particles .Flow parameter assessments in cyclones by different correlation of flow areas at the input and output have been conducted. Differences of flow parameters in conical and cylindrical cyclones have been explored. The analysis and causes of unsatisfied work of industrial battery separator with cyclone elements have been carried out.

Highlights

  • Peculiarities of separation processes in cyclone battery separators have been considered on liquid and solid disperse phases

  • Battery devices with cyclone elements are extensively used in oil and gas industry for extraction of liquid and solid impurities from natural and petroleum gas [1]

  • There are a lot of different battery separators, characterized by geometric correlations of cyclone elements, their arrangements, elements of flow stabilization, acquisition of disperse phase from the flow and refined gas

Summary

The comparison of cylindrical and conical cyclones

The main geometrical correlations that affect the efficiency and hydraulic resistance are relations of inlet pup-joint area to cyclone planned area, the relation of inlet pup-joint area to gas outlet pup-joint area, the relation of dust outlet to outlet pup-joint area, cyclone cone angle [2]. The distribution of circular velocity moments, but not the very velocities, is presented in [2]. As a matter of fact, the scale for moments relates to circular velocities that is easy checked up by gas balance consumption at the separator inlet and outlet. Given data [2, 3] have been used for determinations nmi and nRi from correlations.
