Separator Design Print
In addition to our general process engineering capabilities, Approtech provide specialist Consultancy services for the independent design and assessment of new and existing separators



    With our suite of proprietary design and analysis software, developed over many years and proven in service in many installations in the North Sea and elsewhere, if you are looking for an independent view on your separation problem, please contact us.


Separator Types
  • Horizontal 2- and 3-phase gas/oil/water separators
  • Vertical 2- and 3-phase gas/oil/water separators
  • Cyclonic separators (mono-cyclone, multi-cyclone, axial cyclone)
  • "Compact" separators
  • Filter-separators and Filter-coalescers
  • Tilted-plate separators
  • Separation using tanks
  • Sand removal
  • ....and just about every variation possible
Duties
  • Oil and Gas Production Separators
  • Compressor Suction KO drums
  • Sand separation and removal (jetting and cyclonic types)
  • Slug Catchers (vessel and pipe-type)
  • Glycol and Amine unit guard vessels
  • Produced Water Degassers
  • Glycol and Amine system Flash Drums
  • Free-water knock-out
  • Subsea separators
Configurations
  • Conventional horizontal with/without weir
  • Spillover, submerged and special weir designs
  • Vertical KO Drum and multi-phase separators
  • Booted and top-hatted vessels
  • "Gas boots"
  • Tanks
  • Bucket-and-weir
  • Longitudinal flow vs. crossflow
  • All internals configurations including meshpads, vane packs, multicyclone, axial cyclones, and composites of these such as mesh agglomerator/ vane pack separators
Heavy Crude Oil applications
We also specialise in heavy oil applications, having been involved with seven of the main North Sea heavy oil applications - details on application
Crude Oil Dispersion Characterisation
We also specialise in

  • characterisation of crude oil dispersions/emulsions
  • assessment of laboratory data for use in separation predictions
  • assessment of chemicals for use in separation, such as demulsifiers and deoilers.
