Three Phase Separator Mechanism

A Three Phase Separator divides a fluid stream into gas, oil, and water by utilizing differences in density and gravity.

The fluid enters through an inlet diverter, which slows the flow, allowing the gas to rise to the top and exit through a gas outlet equipped with demister pads to remove any liquid droplets.

The remaining liquid settles, with oil floating above the water due to density differences. A weir or interface control system ensures the separation between the oil and water layers to prevent cross-contamination.

Each phase exits through dedicated outlets: gas at the top, oil in the middle, and water at the bottom.

🔷Level_control_valves : maintain proper fluid levels, and pressure control valves regulate the internal pressure, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

🔷Horizontal_separators are ideal for large liquid volumes, while vertical ones are better for limited space or gas-heavy streams.
