It is also possible to upgrade the basic pneumatic control system to a system with instrumentation using the instrumentation add-on. Industry-Relevant Skills The Three-Phase Separator demonstrates the fundamentals of oil separation, such as the effect of gravity, the effect of layer thickness, viscosity, retention time, density difference, vessel pressure, and oil/ water/gas ratio. This helps operators, instrumentation technicians, and process engineers to develop industry-relevant skills for successfully performing operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance tasks in the oil and gas industry. Observable Flow and Processes The vessel features standard zones of three-phase separators: inlet, flow distribution, gravity separation, and outlet. An inline mixer emulates crude oil by creating an emulsion with water, air, and oil. The separation process itself then begins. System with instrumentation shown with optional temperature transmitter and thermocouple The large, clear acrylic vessel and clear PVC piping allow for observation of flows and of internal components (diverter plate, perforated baffle plate, coalescing plates, weir plate, demister pad, etc.) during operation. This boosts student understanding of the process itself and the role of each component. Safety is ensured with an industrial pressure relief valve and a rupture disc.
