Summary This paper provides details of comprehensive computational-fluid dynamics (CFD)-based studies performed to overcome the separation inefficiencies experienced in a large-scale three-phase separator. It will be shown that the classic design met

Summary A realistic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of a field three-phase separator has been developed. This realistic CFD simulation provides an understanding of both the microscopic and macroscopic features of the three-phase separat

Oilfield separator data ranging from light-oil conditions to heavy-oil conditions were incorporated into suitable two-phase and three-phase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to provide improved design criteria for separator design methods. Th

The multiphase separators are generally the first and largest process equipment in an oil production platform. This primary separation step is a key element in the oil and gas production facilities in that downstream equipment, such as compressors, a

Two computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling approaches, the discrete phase model (DPM) and the combination of volume of fluid (VOF) and DPM, are developed to simulate the phase separation phenomenon in four pilot-plant-scale separators. The incip

A previously developed regular solution model was adapted to predict the onset and amount of asphaltene precipitation from crude oil blends diluted with pure n-alkanes or a mixture of toluene and n-heptane. Tests were conducted on nine different crud

Synthesis of the optimum conventional (with non-sharp separations) distillation column sequence (DCS) is a challenging problem, in the field of chemical process design and optimization, due to its huge search space and combinatorial nature. In this p

Abstract The saturation pressure and solubility of propane in Athabasca bitumen, as well as the liquid phase densities and viscosities, were measured for temperatures from 10 to 50 °C. Equilibration proved challenging for this fluid mixture and requ

An enhanced form of the temperature-dependent attractive pressure term of the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR EOS) was developed. The function was developed using experimental vapor pressures from the NIST Standard Reference Data Base #103 as wel
