What is the difference between water separator and moisture separator?
water separator removes water (liquid) but moisture separator removes water vapor
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.

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 dead crude oil?
Crude oil comes from the reservoir as live crude, containing methane and other lower carbon compounds that are liberated as the pressure is reduced (in the reservoir, in the well, in the separator or storage battery) and the crude is allowed to cool. Dead crude is degassed crude meaning no more gas is likely to be liberated. The volumetric measurement of crude is normally done at "standard conditions" of atmospheric pressure and 60 degrees F, although standards vary.

What is Difference between static and dynamic separator?
Static separator have no rotary parts to do the separation. The separation is done with help of air, which carries and introduces the material inside the separator. Static separator separates the small particles but it does not pick them up. Dynamic separator have rotary parts to do the separation. They pick up small and big particles, generating their own air by ventilators which are part of the separator.The dispersion separator (also called the mechanical air separator) utilizes a distribution plate to disperse the feed material in to the separating space. The majority of the mechanical air separators generate the circulating air inside the separator itself; therefore they are also called circulating air separator.
