Abstract
The given article considers the issues, connected with the construction peculiarities of the inner part of the separators, upgraded according to the joint project of the “Zultser Chimtech ltd. ”Company and the Central Construction Bureau of Oil and Technologies of the Subsidiary of the Open Joint Stock Company “Gazprom”. A concise functional principal of each scheme of a gas-liquid mixture separation is also given in the presented article as well as the results of the inspection of the upgraded equipment during its’ test exploitation in the production process and the results of the separators’ inside inspection.
Materials and methods
Observation, forecasting, generalization Results A technological decision on the introduction of a pneumatic nozzle as a type of equipment used to overcome the influence of the functional drawbacks revealed in the process of test exploitation.
Results
A technological decision on the introduction of a pneumatic nozzle as a type of equipment used to overcome the influence of the functional drawbacks revealed in the process of test exploitation.
Conclusions
The use of the method of pneumatic dispersion of a water-methanol mixture taking place before it gets inside the inlet pipe will give us the following opportunities: • to wash salts out of the gas due to the reduction of their concentration in the dripping liquid consisting of salt and other impurities when it leaves the separator • to increase the separation of fine particles( those with diameter less than 5 mkm) out of the gas liquid mixture due to the effect of dust wetting • to protect the inner devices of the separator from hydrates and ice formation in case of its’ exploitation at low temperatures
