How does a three phase separator work?
A three-phase separator is used in the oil industry to separate oil, water and gas from a mixture.
How does a horizontal petroleum separator work?
Separator design can be complex. I will just cover the basics. Crude oil from a well needs to be cleaned up, that is removal water and gas, so that it can be sold. The horizontal separator has an inlet at one end, where the crude oil enters. In a three phase separator, the gas will separate from the oil due to the lower pressure in the vessel and flow out of an outlet in the top of the separator. Water is generally less dense than oil so it will settle in the bottom of the vessel. A water level controller is needed to make sure the oil does not drain out the bottom. A diagram of a horizontal separator is shown in the following link: http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Display.cfm?Term=separator Why do I say that the design is complex? A common problem is that the gas can entrain some of the oil if the velocity of gas is high in the separator. Baffles are designed to prevent this. The separator never perfectly separates the gas and water from the oil, and a staged separation system may be needed. Gas to be saleable may need to be dehydrated after separation. The water may contain oil, and need additional clean up before disposal.

What does a Gas Well Tender Do?
well, a gas well tender makes you chicken fingers that are well tendered that came from a chickens GAS! hence the name. goodness gracious people goodness gracious goodness goodness gracious.....YOU ARE SO WELCOME! bertha and Martha Not quite but nice try bertha & Martha... A gas well tender is basically the same as a pumper or a lease operator...After a gas well is drilled & fraced & ready to go to sales it's the well tender's job to maintain & direct the flow of the natural gas from the well head to the separator on each location. The separator separates the gas from the h20 & any condensates that are normally present. Fluids go to production tanks on location & it's the well tender's responsibility to schedule the removal of fluids from production tanks to a disposal on a regular basis so they don't overflow. The natural gas is then directed from the separator down a pipeline to a compressor station. At the compressor station there is usually another inlet separator before the gas enters the compressor where it is compressed in several stages in order to reach enough line pressure so that it can flow freely into the pipeline of whoever the gas is being sold to. After being compressed, the gas is usually directed to another separator then to a dehydration system such as a glycol de-hy where any remaining moisture in the gas will be removed by the glycol... Just to be sure most gas companies run it through yet another separator or two after the de-hy because the company that buys the gas won't accept the gas if it contains anything over 7lbs of h2o per million cubic feet of gas mcf...It is the welltender's duty to maintain gas flow & operate & service all equipment I've just mentioned from the wellhead up to the customer's meter station where it is metered & sold & then transported by pipeline to a gas processing plant...

How is the flow rate of gas controlled as it leaves a storage container?
By a pressure regulating valve- or regulator.
When rich gas is produced from a petroleum reservoir what type hydrocarbon liquids can be recovered at the surface separator?
condensate
How do you take gas out of oil?
I will assume that your question is how do you separate natural gas from crude oil. Oil comes out of a flowing well at an elevated pressure and enters a separation tank to separate the water, oil and gas or just oil and gas. The tank may be horizontal or vertical. There must be sufficient retention time in the separator to allow for the separation. If the flow rate of liquid and gas into the separator is too high, oil droplets can be entrained along with gas flow. To prevent this, baffles are used that help the droplets coalesce and separate.
When might it be important to know the flow rate of a gas?
You could have job that requires its flow rate to be measured precisely. For example, if you work as a scientist and you are doing an experiment, it's important that you know the flow rate of the gas.
What are the Functions of gas-oil separator?
the function of gas-oil separator is to separate the production fluids into their constituents such as oil, gas and water
Where can flow rate be observed in real life?
at a gas station
How might speed at which a gas particle moves affects how quickly that gas particle escapes from the balloon?
Flow rate is diameter of hole*velocity, so the higher the velocity the higher the flow rate.
What is function of oil separator in diesel engine vehicle?
oil separator working is separat oil & gas
What is the effect of the temperature on the gas flow rate?
higher temperature equals more flow, which reduces mpg.
What are flow meters used for?
Flow meters are used to measure the linear, nonlinear, mass, or volumetric flow rate of a liquid or gas.
What are the trapes which used to to trap gas and oil?
Oil separator
How does a three phase separator work?
A three-phase separator is used in the oil industry to separate oil, water and gas from a mixture.
What is air flow rate for 100 hp gas engine?
300 cfm should do it.
How you increase load electrically in Gas turbine plants?
By increasing the flow rate of the natural gas being used as the fuel.
