Ingersoll-Rand Oil-gas Separator 03340028 High Quality Screw air Compressor Parts Wholesale

An Oil-Gas Separator is a critical pressure vessel used primarily in the oil and gas industry to separate wellstream fluids into their constituent components: liquid hydrocarbons (oil), water, and natural gas. It is the first major piece of production equipment through which the wellstream flows after leaving the wellhead, designed to handle raw, high-pressure flow and produce marketable or pipeline-ready phases by exploiting the differences in fluid densities.

The primary function of an oil-gas separator is to achieve a clean phase separation. Its specific purposes include:

• Primary Phase Separation: Dividing the wellstream into gas, oil, and water for independent handling and measurement.
• Liquid Hydrocarbon Recovery: Maximizing the amount of saleable oil extracted from the gas stream.
• Gas De-Liquefication: Removing liquid entrainment (mist and droplets) from the gas phase to produce clean, dry gas suitable for compression or sale.
• Pressure Reduction & Control: Serving as the first point of significant pressure drop in the production system, allowing for stable control of the well.
• Foam Suppression: Breaking down foamy crude oil to allow for efficient separation and accurate level control.

Separators operate on the fundamental principle of gravity segregation, enhanced by mechanical internals:

1. Inlet & Primary Separation: The high-velocity, multi-phase flow enters the vessel through an inlet diverter, which performs an abrupt change in flow direction and momentum.
2. Gravity Settling Section: The gas flows horizontally across the vessel as its velocity drops, causing liquid droplets to fall into the collection section below.
3. Mist Extraction: The gas passes through a mist eliminator (mesh pad or vane pack) to capture remaining fine droplets.
4. Liquid Separation & Collection: Separated liquids (oil and water) collect in the bottom of the vessel and separate based on density.
5. Level & Pressure Control: Controllers and valves maintain proper levels and regulate pressure for stable operation.
