The liquids from the gas phase is accomplished by passing the well stream through an oil gas or oil gas water separator.
Api oil water separator calculation.
33 1 2 types of separator api tanks see figure 33 1 and plate separators are the more efficient oil separators.
The calculation first solves for total horizontal surface area which is then translated to media coalescing area to determine how many cubic feet of media are needed.
However several factors that could potentially affect safety efficiency and proper management must be given careful consideration prior to the installation or modification of any oil water separator or separation system.

User input in yellow.
To calculate the size of an empty vessel api or api type gravity separator it is first necessary to calculate by the use of stokes law the rise velocity of the oil droplets.
Cross section velocity is also determined to ensure the maximum velocity of 3 fpm is not exceeded.
