The research of gaz-liquid mix structure influence on gaz separation process efficiency in the centrifugal gasseparator

Abstract

It is experimentally established that centrifugal gasseparator performance data are exposed to degradation with gas vials size reduction in a pumped gas-liquid mix. By numerical modelling the gas-liquid mix dispersion influence on separation process efficiency in centrifugal forces field is investigated. The separation factor definition technique depending on average gas vials diameter in gas-liquid mix is developed for carrying out of centrifugal gas-separator performance data engineering calculations. The spent comparison of settlement and experimental data on absolute separation factor value of centrifugal gas-separator GSA5-1 has shown an error is admissible for engineering calculations carrying out.
