The incoming flow first hits the deflector plate to reduce momentum and disperse the fluids.
The flow passes through the coalescing plates, which help improve the separation process between gas, oil, and water.
The separator is also equipped with a foam breaker to reduce foam formation during operation , while the weir helps maintain the separation between oil and water levels inside the vessel.
On the gas outlet side, a mist extractor is installed to remove oil mists and fine liquid droplets from the gas flow before leaving the separator.
The oil and water outlet lines are equipped with vortex breakers to reduce vortex formation and .
floats are installed to monitor both oil and water levels during operation.
For safety protection , the separator is equipped with two safety relief valves connected to a line leading to the flare system in case of overpressure conditions.
The manhole provides access to the separator internals for inspection, maintenance , and cleaning during shutdown operations.
