My experience with separators led me to compile design information
for the precise design of this type of equipment. These devices
seem simple in their operations. However I have seen a number of
them fail to provide the performance required in the process.
Working with consultants, their many suggestions and rules of thumb
to resolve the issues, has left me with concern as to how to best
approach a design for a proper operating separator.
I studied the works of many Engineers and designers and collected
information from all the manufacturers I worked with in designing
separators for my projects. I have read and collected many articles
on the subject of separator design.
In 1984 I had the opportunity to accept a position with Perry
Equipment Corporation in Mineral Wells, Texas. The range of
designs, research efforts and field trouble shooting left me with
the understanding that "rules of thumb" are useful in a limited set
of circumstances. Fortunately for the industry these set of
circumstances are sufficient at about 75 to 90 percent of the time.
One of the tasks I was given, while in their employ, was to attempt
to place a scientific approach as to why these devices proved so
successful in most situations, but failed in other situations. In
order to develop a better understanding of the design parameters I
wanted to know the physical properties of the fluids and their
effect associated with separator failures and efficiencies.
