Three Phase Separation Training Unit

Product Description

Description of Three Phase Separation Training Unit:

A combination of refined oil, water and air enters the vessel, the flow is directed to the spherical end of the vessel where primary separation occurs and then flows through the vessel where it meets the coalescer. At the secondary separating section, the fluids are allowed to slow down and separate by gravity. The water being the heaviest in gravity stays at the bottom while the oil floats on top and the gas occupies the void space in the vessel.
